2014 NFL Draft Do-Over

Hindsight is 20/20. We will take into account who has played the best in the past two years and re-do the 2014 NFL Draft.

1. Houston Texans- Blake Bortles, QB, UCF

Former Pick- Jadeveon Clowney

Through two years in the NFL, Bortles has been the best QB to come out of this draft. Clowney has not produced. The Texans have their man. 

2. St. Louis Rams- Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State.

Former Pick- Greg Robinson

Tough choice between Carr or Beckham. Deciding factor was the Rams' 13th pick. Would you rather own a franchise quarterback and a talent at WR? Or have the top WR and have a question at quarterback two years later? 

3. Jacksonville Jaguars- Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville

Former Pick- Blake Bortles

The Jags had Bortles, but in this re-draft, he is taken. They cannot afford to pass on a potential franchise quarterback here, even with so much talent at other positions still on the board.

4. Buffalo Bills- Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo

Former Pick- Sammy Watkins

The best defensive player in the draft who previously played for Buffalo in college, heads to the Bills in Buffalo.

5. Oakland Raiders- Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh

Former Pick- Khalil Mack

The Raiders miss out on OLB Mack, but will be happy to settle on an outstanding defensive tackle Donald.

6. Atlanta Falcons- Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina

Former Pick- Jake Matthews

Clowney has not seen the playing field too much in his first two years, mainly because of injury. Clowney still has the highest upside of all defenders,

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

Former Pick- Mike Evans

Beckham is the best offensive weapon in this draft even with so many great WRs. 

8. Cleveland Browns- Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

Former Pick- Justin Gilbert

To this date, the Browns still have no real WR threat. Evans is a physical specimen that will instantly be the number one WR on this team.

9. Minnesota Vikings- Zach Martin, OL, Notre Dame

Former Pick- Anthony Barr

The Vikings are out of a franchise quarterback, but a pro-bowler on the offesnive line would help who ever plays QB.

10. Detroit Lions- Anthony Barr, LB, UCLA

Former Pick- Eric Ebron

Lions will grab a linebacker to add depth to a position that is lost its strength in 2015.

11. Tennessee Titans- Jake Matthews, OL, Texas A&M

Former Pick- Taylor Lewan

Titans get an upgrade from Lewan and continues to solidify the offensive line.

12. New York Giants- Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson

Former Pick- Odell Beckham Jr.

Bryant was a fourth-round pick and now jumps to twelfth. Giants lose Beckham but gain height and equal talent with Bryant.

13. St. Louis Rams- Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

Former Pick- Aaron Donald

Watkins drops from 4th to 13th but may be in better position to succeed in St. Louis.

14. Chicago Bears- Jason Verrett, CB, TCU

Former Pick- Kyle Fuller

Kyle Fuller has not played well. Bears get top corner in draft class with Verrett.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers- Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State

Former Pick- Same

Nothing changes here. Shazier adds speed and physicality to Steelers defense.

16. Dallas Cowboys- Joel Bitonio, OL, Nevada

Former Pick- Zach Martin

Cowboys substitute one pro-bowl offensive lineman for another.

17. Baltimore Ravens- Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville

Former Pick- C.J. Mosely

In 2015, Ravens' secondary has never been worse. Pryor would bolster the defense.

18. New York Jets- C.J. Mosely, LB, Alabama

Former Pick- Calvin Pryor

Having linebacker depth will help long-term. Calvin Pace will soon be retiring,

19. Miami Dolphins- Taylor Lewan, OL, University of Michigan

Former Pick- JeWan James

Dolphins would be happy to get an upgrade over previous 2014 pick JaWuan James.

20. New Orleans Saints- Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregan State

Former Pick- Same

Nothing changes here. Cooks, when on the field, has been a tremendous help to the offense.

21. Green Bay Packers- Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, S, Alabama

Former Pick- Same

Has coverage problems but has played solidly through his first two years.

22. Cleveland Browns- Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State

Former Pick- Johnny Manziel

The Justin Gilbert pick was a failure. Browns take second-best corner in draft class.

23. Kansas City Chiefs- Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State

Former Pick- Dee Ford

Even with the Jeremy Maclin addition, Kansas City could use length and athleticism on the outside.

24. Cinncinati Bengals- Bashaud Breeland, CB, Clemson

Former Pick- Darqueze Dennard

An underrated corner who jumps to the first-round.

25. San Diego Chargers- Greg Robinson, OL, Auburn

Former Pick- Jason Verrett

Phillip Rivers continues to get sacked too frequently. Robinson drops from second overall to 25th.

26. Philadelphia Eagles- Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

Former Pick- Marcus Smith

Benjamin has potential to be the best receiver in this class. Any pick would be better than Marcus Smith for the Eagles.

27. Arizona Cardinals- Deone Bucannon, S, Washington State

Former Pick- Same

Nothing changes. Bucannon mostly plays linebacker and fits well in Arian's defensive scheme.

28. Carolina Panthers- Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU

Former Pick- Kelvin Benjamin

Panthers lose Benjamin but pick up a solid slot-receiver in Landry.

29. New England Patriots- Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU

Former Pick- Dominique Easley

The Patriots have lacked a stud in the running game. They produce as it is, but Hill would be dominant on this team.

30. San Francisco 49ers- Telvin Smith, LB, Florida State

Former Pick- Jimmy Ward

In the last two years, the 49ers linebacker core has been diminished significantly because of injuries and retirements. Telvin Smith, a tackling machine, will bring some life to the depleted defense.

31. Denver Broncos- Devonta Freeman, RB, Florida State

Former Pick- Bradley Roby

Broncos are still looking for a solid run game. Freeman will bring that, along with pass-catching abilities.

32. Minnesota Vikings- Preston Brown, LB, Louisville

Former Pick- Teddy Bridgewater

The Vikings need youth at LB; losing Barr will not hurt as much if they add Brown here.
