    *** THIS IS A LIVE 2014 NFL MOCK DRAFT. PICKS ARE BEING POSTED NOW. TO SEE PREVIOUS VERSIONS, CHECK OUT THE ARCHIVED 2013 NFL MOCK DRAFT SECTION. FOLLOW @walterfootball FOR UPDATES ***

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ty Zimmerman, S, Kansas State
    There are countless reasons why the Jaguars suck. Terrible safety play is just one of them.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. New York Giants: Bene Benwikere, CB, San Jose State
    One area the Giants neglected in the 2013 NFL Draft that I thought they should have addressed was the cornerback position. All of their corners have struggled this year, so I don’t know what they were thinking by failing to upgrade the position.

  3. New York Jets: Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State
    Another weapon for Geno Smith because Santonio Holmes won’t be around much longer.

    Pick change; previously Donte Moncrief, WR

  4. Minnesota Vikings: David Yankey, G/OT, Stanford
    The Vikings had to address the interior of their offensive line in the 2013 NFL Draft. They did so – but only in the sixth and seventh rounds.

    Pick change; previously Zack Martin, G



  5. Washington Redskins: Yawin Smallwood, ILB, Connecticut
    ESPN loves talking up London Fletcher by saying he’s still great, but he can barely move. He’s one of the reasons the Redskins are so inept on defense.

    Pick change; previously Zack Martin, G

  6. Cleveland Browns: Corey Moore, S, Georgia
    More secondary help for the Browns, who could use someone to challenge Tashaun Gipson at safety.

  7. Atlanta Falcons: Morgan Breslin, DE/OLB, USC
    Morgan Breslin is perfect for Atlanta’s scheme. Mike Nolan likes to utilize a defensive end-outside linebacker hybrid. Kroy Biermann was manning that position this season before he got hurt.

    Pick change; previously David Yankey, G/OT

  8. Buffalo Bills: Xavier Grimble, TE, USC
    E.J. Manuel, who prefers checking down, would love having an upgrade at tight end at his disposal.

    Pick change; previously Morgan Breslin, DE/OLB

  9. Oakland Raiders: Will Sutton, DE/DT, Arizona State
    The Raiders have no interior pass rush. Acquiring a boost in that area would really help the defense.

  10. Houston Texans: Ed Stinson, DE/DT, Alabama
    The Texans have a couple of defensive linemen heading for free agency in March, including Antonio Smith.

    Pick change; previously Henry Anderson, DE/DT

  11. Carolina Panthers: Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech
    The Panthers went back-to-back defensive tackles this past April, so they could definitely do the same thing at the cornerback position (if they go with a corner in the first two rounds) considering the circumstances.

    Pick change; previously Rashaad Reynolds, CB

  12. Cleveland Browns: Andrew Jackson, ILB, Western Kentucky
    The Browns have a stellar front seven, but if there’s a weakness, it’s at inside linebacker, where Craig Robertson has struggled next to D’Qwell Jackson.

    Pick change; previously Allen Robinson, WR



  13. St. Louis Rams: Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
    The Rams should think about drafting a quarterback on Day 2 just in case Sam Bradford continues to be mediocre.

  14. San Francisco 49ers: Daniel McCullers, NT, Tennessee
    The 49ers don’t need a legitimate nose tackle to run their defense, but having one definitely wouldn’t hurt.

  15. Philadelphia Eagles: Rashaad Reynolds, CB, Oregon State
    Cary Williams had a great debut for the Eagles on Monday night, but has been putrid ever since. Bradley Fletcher, meanwhile, can’t stay healthy. Cornerback is glaring need for Philadelphia.

    Pick change; previously Odell Beckham, WR

  16. New York Jets: Jordan Richards, S, Stanford
    The Jets have major problems at safety, as neither Antonio Allen nor Dawan Landry should be starting.

  17. Arizona Cardinals: Seantrel Henderson, OT, Miami
    Seantrel Henderson has the upside to be a great left tackle in the NFL. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to put it together mentally yet. The Cardinals have taken chances on troubled players, so maybe they’ll be able to get the most out of Henderson.

  18. San Diego Chargers: Henry Anderson, DE/DT, Stanford
    The Chargers have a solid starting front line on defense, but they don’t have much depth.

    Pick change; previously Xavier Grimble, TE

  19. Miami Dolphins: Deandre Coleman, DT, California
    Both Randy Starks and Paul Soliai are impending free agents. The Dolphins will have to replenish depth in the spring.

  20. Green Bay Packers: Demarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB, Boise State
    Nick Perry finally started playing well just before getting hurt. The Packers still need depth behind Perry and Clay Matthews.



  21. Dallas Cowboys: Zack Martin, G/OT, Notre Dame
    The Cowboys are so desperate at guard that they lured Brian Waters out of semi-retirement.

    Pick change; previously Spencer Long, G

  22. Baltimore Ravens: Odell Beckham, WR, LSU
    It wouldn’t surprise me if the Ravens really attacked the receiver position this offseason and selected two early on in the 2014 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously Cody Hoffman, WR

  23. Chicago Bears: Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
    The Bears will almost certainly re-sign Jay Cutler, but it wouldn’t hurt for them to grab a potential successor in this loaded draft class.

    Pick change; previously Zach Mettenberger, QB

  24. Cincinnati Bengals: Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas
    The Bengals don’t have much at center, as Kyle Cook beat out Trevor Robinson in an underwhelming camp battle.



  25. Detroit Lions: Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin
    I planned to mock a receiver to the Lions in the third round even before Nate Burleson’s car accident. Detroit needs a better No. 2 wideout.

  26. Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Steen, G, Alabama
    Jim Irsay took to Twitter recently and demanded better protection for Andrew Luck. I suppose that means the Colts will drafting a lineman or two early.

  27. San Francisco 49ers: Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech
    The 49ers have four Day 2 selections, so they can make a luxury pick like this. Logan Thomas has tons of potential. Maybe Jim Harbaugh can work his magic with him and then flip him for a better draft choice a couple of years later (much like the Patriots with Ryan Mallett, who was also a third-rounder).

  28. New England Patriots: DaQuan Jones, NT, Penn State
    Perhaps this is an overreaction pick, but Vince Wilfork will find it difficult to come back from a torn Achilles at his size and age.

  29. New Orleans Saints: Tre Boston, S, North Carolina
    Here’s a safety to play next to Kenny Vaccaro in the future. Malcolm Jenkins, who has disappointed, will be a free agent in March.

  30. Kansas City Chiefs: Cody Hoffman, WR, BYU
    The Chiefs need another outside receiver to start across from Dwayne Bowe.

    Pick change; previously Devin Street, WR

  31. Minnesota Vikings: Devin Street, WR, Pittsburgh
    I have a feeling Greg Jennings is going to bust in Minnesota. If he continues to struggle, the Vikings will think about bringing in another receiver.

    Pick change; previously Rob Herron, WR

  32. Denver Broncos: Dri Archer, RB/WR, Kent State
    The Broncos have a dynamic offense, but one thing they don’t have is a Darren Sproles-type back coming out of the backfield. Dri Archer, who could run a high 4.2 at the Combine, could fill that role.
