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

Last update: Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Major 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: A.J. McCarron, QB, Alabama

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.

I had A.J. McCarron in the second round of my previous update, but I'm hearing he belongs way earlier. I still want to see him have another strong campaign, but as it stands now, he could be chosen as high as the top 10.

Follow @walterfootball for updates.

St. Louis Rams: James Hurst, OT, North Carolina

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.

Chicago Bears: Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama

The Bears signed Jermon Bushrod this offseason to be Jay Cutler's new left tackle. Cutler may not like the results if Bushrod plays like he did in New Orleans. Even if Bushrod shows well, Chicago will need help at right tackle, given that J'Marcus Webb will be a free agent next spring.

St. Louis Rams: Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU

The Rams spent a first-round pick on a defensive tackle in 2012, but they could do so again sometime soon. Kendall Langford, signed to a 4-year, $24 million contract last offseason, has been a disappointment. He won't be around much longer at his high salary if he continues to struggle.

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.

Pick change; previously Haha Clinton-Dix, S

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.

Pick change; previously Aaron Lynch, DE

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 probably won't need to address the inside linebacker next offseason, but Ted Thompson likes to think ahead. Both Desmond Bishop and A.J. Hawk will have expiring contracts in the near future. It's likely that one of them will leave sometime soon.

New England Patriots: Trent Murphy, DE/OLB, Stanford

The Patriots could use another pass-rusher to help them deal with Peyton Manning and Joe Flacco. Trent Murphy has the size that Bill Belichick likes in his defensive linemen.

Pick change; previously Daniel McCullers, NT

San Francisco 49ers: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State

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.

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.

Pick change; previously Scott Chrichton, DE/OLB

Seattle Seahawks: Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee

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

Pick change; previously Trent Murphy, DE/OLB

Have you actually heard from NFL people that Manziel is a top 5 NFL talent? I just don't see it. He was amazing in the Aggies system last year, but he was mostly on the run if his first or second option wasn't open. He certainly has some Russell Wilson qualities, but there's a reason that Wilson was a mid round pick and not a top 5 pick.

Jefferson 05-15-2013 12:31 am xxx.xxx.xxx4.72 (total posts: 1)

Only way the Vikings pick a QB is if they draft high, because that means Ponder failed miserably.

If he plays well enough for us to be a fringe playoff team, we'll look to improve at other areas.

There is NO WAY Marquis Lee doesn't go top 5, you seriously have no eye for talent if you think that.

All these SEC homers thinking Aaron Murray is a top pick is laughable.

Lets talk Browns draft.

1. HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
Solidify the safety position with one of the most promising prospects in the entire draft

2. Cyril Richardson, G, Baylor
The Browns could easily have the O-Line if they add a solid Guard to fill the hole at right guard

3. Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
They'll need a QB even if Weeden turns around. Hundley has drawn comparisons to Cam Newton and had a stellar season this year.

4. Xavier Grimble, TE, USC
Norv Turner loves to have a solid tight end. Cameron might be good this year but Kellen Davis needs to be replaced quickly.

The Falcons are good but so are the Saints. They didn't have Payton last year so they'll come back strong this year. Anyways watch the Falcons play in the playoffs. They choke every game and they're going to lose Gonzalez to retirement at the end of the year and their running back only has one or two more seasons left in him.

Anyone that gets angry over Clowney not being first overall, or not being second overall, is ignorant. Bridgewater is a future franchise QB, he WILL be selected over Clowney. And the Jaguars specifically passed on a QB this year because theyre gonna take one next year. It makes perfect sense. Get your panties out of a bunch.

denver taking cb in the 2nd round? 05-14-2013 03:38 pm xxx.xxx.xxx9.99 (total posts: 1)

we have champ, rodgers-cromartie (who can be resigned if he plays well), carter and we drafted a cb in the 5th last year and in the 3rd this year... they would all have to fail misserably to force john to draft a cb again next year. there might be more pressing needs behind a pass rusher who will be taken in the 1st - it could be s or o-line.

walt u keep saying santonio holmes wont be arounduch longer. is gone now or next yr? both mean not much longer and then u can take credit bc u deal in generics

Oh god not again. Don't worry Flynn will have a good year. Plus if they drafted Wilson last year than why would they draft Bridgewater this year? I just don't think it will happen. I guess we'll see though.

@ZO 05-14-2013 02:05 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.142 (total posts: 1)

There are actually rumblings that Wilson may beat Flynn out....

I'll start taking this seriously when you stop mocking the Saints past the Falcons. The Falcons are poised to run this division for years to come. Have you seem the cap situation for the Saints? They're going to be hurting - not thriving.
