2014 NFL Mock Draft: Round 1 - Picks 17-32

Last update: Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Some changes in both rounds.
Next update: Next week. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

The order of this 2014 NFL Mock Draft is based on my NFL Power Rankings.

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

Minnesota Vikings: David Fales, QB, San Jose State

The Vikings didn't find a young quarterback this offseason because they didn't want to hurt Christian Ponder's confidence. However, if Ponder stinks again, Minnesota may look into drafting a young signal-caller.

David Fales will go in the first round with another strong season. His decision-making and field vision are terrific.

Follow @walterfootball for updates.

St. Louis Rams: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

Two consecutive first-round picks on receivers? Teams have done this before, and the Rams could easily pull the trigger if Brian Quick disappoints again. It's all about adding pieces around Sam Bradford to make sure he doesn't bust.

Pick change; previously Anthony Johnson, DT

Chicago Bears: Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU

There was some speculation that the Bears were interested in Sylvester Williams in the 2013 NFL Draft, considering how thin they are at defensive tackle. It won't get any better with Henry Melton set to hit free agency.

Pick change; previously James Hurst, OT

St. Louis Rams: Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee

The Rams signed Jake Long, which will move Rodger Saffold to right tackle. For the time being anyway. There's some speculation that St. Louis could trade Saffold. Regardless, Saffold will be a free agent in March 2014.

Cincinnati Bengals: Aaron Lynch, DE, South Florida

The Bengals just drafted Margus Hunt, but they have Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson hitting free agency soon. They'll probably be able to retain just one of the two.

Miami Dolphins: Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame

The Dolphins were reportedly looking closely at defensive tackle prospects in the 2013 NFL Draft because both Randy Starks and Paul Soliai have expiring contracts this upcoming March.

Louis Nix would fill Soliai's void, as Miami continues to add 3-4 personnel.

New York Giants: Scott Chrichton, DE, Oregon State

Jerry Reese is a big fan of having tons of pass-rushers on his roster. He'll have to bolster the group next offseason if he can't re-sign free agent-to-be Justin Tuck.

Atlanta Falcons: Will Sutton, DE/DT, Arizona State

The Falcons didn't address defensive tackle even though they have a hole there next to Jonathan Babineaux. Peria Jerry will be given one more chance to prove himself.

Will Sutton can line up both inside and outside to create tons of pressure on the quarterback. He'll be useful to have against Drew Brees and Cam Newton.

Houston Texans: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon

The Texans could use a cornerback for depth, but the primary need for one at this juncture would be for the future. Kareem Jackson will be a free agent in March 2015, so Loucheiz Purifoy would be able to sit behind him for a year before stepping in as a starter. Some of the guys on the forum complained about my habit of looking at contract dates in my mock drafts, but the Texans' sole purpose for selecting Whitney Mercilus a year ago was because they knew Connor Barwin would leave.

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, a third-team All-American, intercepted four passes and had 16 pass break-ups as a sophomore.

Baltimore Ravens: Kyle Van Noy, DE/OLB, BYU

Rush linebacker is not an immediate need, but Terrell Suggs will be entering his contract year in 2014. What if he slows down at 31? What if Courtney Upshaw and John Simon don't develop?

Ozzie Newsome lands the best player available. I wanted to slot Kyle Van Noy around the 16th pick, but couldn't find a spot for him. Van Noy logged 13 sacks in 2012. He was espcially hot down the stretch, recording 5.5 sacks in his final three games.

New Orleans Saints: Adrian Hubbard, DE/OLB, Alabama

The Saints had several holes to fill in the 2013 NFL Draft, so they weren't able to obtain a pass-rusher until the sixth round with Rufus Johnson. They'll probably need to do so earlier next April.

Green Bay Packers: A.J. Johnson, ILB, Tennessee

The Packers just released Desmond Bishop. On top of that, the rapidly aging A.J. Hawk will have an expiring contract soon. Ted Thompson will have to address the inside linebacker position in the near future.

New England Patriots: De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon

De'Anthony Thomas has been compared to Tavon Austin, but only in terms of their ability to go the distance any time they touch the ball and line up everywhere on the field. With Brandon Lloyd gone and Rob Gronkowski's career in question, Tom Brady needs more weapons.

San Francisco 49ers: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU

The 49ers can afford to take one of the best players available on the board with this pick because they have fewer needs than most teams. They could stand to find help at cornerback, especially given that as a 33-year-old, Carlos Rogers will be due more than $6 million. Also keep in mind that Nnamdi Asomugha and Tarell Brown have expiring contracts next March.

Pick change; previously Justin Gilbert, CB

Denver Broncos: HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama

Considering what happened at the end of the Baltimore game, it was shocking to see the Broncos fail to address the safety position in the 2013 NFL Draft. Something tells me they'll regret that.

Haha Clinton-Dix, named after what happened in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, has two brothers who are also promising prospects, Lol and Lmfao.

Seattle Seahawks: Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama

The Seahawks have a big void at the right tackle position. Breno Giacomini was constantly abused this past season.

Again the ravens are not going to draft a DE. We already have a back up in Pernell. He has potential to be a double digit sack and he good against the run, what we need is a tackle. I got with a WR in the second just in case the WR's we have in competition don't pan out.

mike 06-19-2013 01:46 pm xxx.xxx.xxx4.48 (total posts: 1)

D you not even listen to news about football the rams don't just have Tavon Austin at receiver. We also have Chris givens who seems to get no respect out of STL and Austin Pettis who has been a beast so far in otas. Also what about Stedman bailey. Do some research before you make yourself sound like a jackass

Who Dey 06-18-2013 07:01 pm xxx.xxx.xxx3.97 (total posts: 4)

By drafting Margus Hunt (who's a LE in the Bengals defense), it seems like they are grooming Carlos Dunlap's replacement rather than Michael Johnson's replacement. Which makes sense, considering Johnson's more reliable than Dunlap on the field and staying on the field. I'd like to keep both of them, but would rather keep Johnson out of the two.

In conclusion, me and pretty much every other Bengal fan would much rather draft Rey Maualuga's replacement over another DE in the first round. C.J. Mosley or A.J. Johnson will do.

Matt 06-18-2013 05:46 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.158 (total posts: 1)

Walt, Mike Adams is the Steelers right tackle, not their left tackle. Marcus Gilbert is their left tackle. Come on man, you're better than this.

Cardinals with 10 or 11 wins lololololol

Not a good mock you're normally better.

Saints 06-18-2013 10:33 am xxx.xxx.xxx.205 (total posts: 17)

I think this is how the season will go-Brees will once again have a crazy stat season,the running game will have 3 400/4 300 yard rushers,the line will pass with Brown at left and Armstead right tackle,the 3-4 will help improve the front 7,and the secondary will be much better than last year.in the 1st round we'll take BPA(non QB),CB or 34OLB(or 34DE)

John Q 06-18-2013 05:13 am xxx.xxx.xxx.157 (total posts: 1)

Josh Huff in the second round? I can't see that happening sorry. From someone who goes to all of their games, I don't see a Day 2 receiver. He has a terrible motor for his talent. NFL teams will not put up with that. I would say at best a 4th round pick.

TommyT 06-18-2013 03:59 am xxx.xxx.xxx0.22 (total posts: 1)

Why do you have Cardinals picking at number 9 when they will have a 10 to 11 win season. Are you assumming they will trade up?

Da Zhang 06-17-2013 02:19 pm xxx.xxx.xxx4.71 (total posts: 1)

You are delusional with your power rankings if you think the Steelers will be drafting that low again. Everyone thinks they will be bad this year but they will surprise and get back to being championship caliber.

skippy 06-17-2013 08:07 am xxx.xxx.xxx.125 (total posts: 1)

honestly boys lebron is a lock to go top 5. he is fast explosive tall and handsom. ovechkin will go first round tambien.

lions fan 06-17-2013 07:19 am xxx.xxx.xxx9.34 (total posts: 1)

well i like the 1st round pick im not a fan of the 2nd though. heres what i would do.
1st: Marqise Lee-WR-USC
2nd: Cyril Richardson-OT-Baylor
3rd: Aaron Lynch-DE-USF

PepPep 06-16-2013 05:58 pm xxx.xxx.xxx2.56 (total posts: 3)

Honestly, Jets will not be picking 4th...more likely somewhere in the early teens. I think they will surprise a lot of people and win 7-8 games.

Unfortunately, this will bump us out ofg the running for guys like Clowney, Barr, J.Mathews, T.Lewan and probably M.Lee.

But this may also be a blessing in disguise, as it may force us to take a guy like Seferian-Jenkins. Who has insane upside at the TE position and reminds me of the next T.Gonzalez.

As he is a TE, I expect him to fall to at least the early teens. If he is there for the Jets and the afore-mentioned are gone, it may be a no-brainer for Idzik...top player on the board/fills a big need. I would be very happy if Jets got him.

PepPep 06-16-2013 05:38 pm xxx.xxx.xxx2.56 (total posts: 3)

@JamesJordan23-

Teams could pass on Clowney as first overall pick for NUMEROUS reasons. Not just the emergence of an elite QB prospect.

1. Injury: What if Clowney gets hurt? Even a minor injury that simply keeps him from getting on the field and showing his development can bump him from the top overall pick.
2. Off-field issues.
3. Team falls in love with another player. This happens ALL the time. Just this past year Chiefs fell inlove wit Fisher, even though Joeckel was a lock to go #1 overall up until the very last days leading up to the draft.
4. Drop-off in production. Although unlikely, some scouts will worry that Clowney is not all he was hyped up to be if his production falls.
5. Poor combine: Also unlikely b/c he is a freak athlete...but a bad combine ALWAYS hurts a players stock.

Point is, its VERY easy to slip from the #1 overall selection. I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if Clowney was mocked to go #1 Overall and ended up slipping.

Geno knows this all too well- he was mocked #1 Overall to the QB needy Chiefs for a long time...then they traded for A.Smith, then he had a bad Pinstripe Bowl, then more criticism came out about his attitude, etc. He end up falling out of the first round.

PepPep 06-16-2013 05:27 pm xxx.xxx.xxx2.56 (total posts: 3)

I like Barr and depending on how he looks coming into the draft he MAY be the top player available at our selection...but the Jets really need to go Offense with their first pick next year. Especially w/ a number of Offensive STUDS available.

I would rather take J.Mathews or T.Lewan, M.Lee, or Seferian-Jenkins with the first pick.

If Barr or Clowney are there when we pick Jets may be tempted to go defense again, but I really think they need a blue-chip OT prospect or a playmaking WR/TE.
