Pablo E.’s 2014 SFL Mock Draft, Part 1



1.1.
WR Mike Evans
Height: 6'5" Weight: 225lbs
Age: 21 College: Texas A&M
SPD 98 STR 33 AWR 60 AGI 93 ACC 99 CTH 85 CAR 76 JMP 78 BTK 50

He’s really big. He’s really fast. He’s going to be really good for QB Booty for many years to come.


1.2
DE Demarcus Lawrence
Height: 6'3" Weight: 244lbs
Age: 22 College: Boise State
SPD 84 STR 89 AWR 53 AGI 83 ACC 85 TAK 68

Starting RE Kendrick Ellis was traded this offseason so the Titans have zeroed in on a replacement. Lawrence has the draft’s best combination of power and speed at defensive end and will look nice alongside last years #2 overall pick, LE Dion Jordan.

1.3
QB Derek Carr
Height: 6'3" Weight: 212lbs
Age: 23 College: Fresno State
SPD 47 STR 60 AWR 75 AGI 51 ACC 47 BTK 58 THP 90 THA 88

QB Brady Quinn has A LOT left in the tank but the Chargers have few holes, none of which has prospects that appear to be worthy of the 3rd overall selection. QB Symons can mentor this year, be passed off for draft capital assuming he doesn’t retire, while then 30-year old Quinn can take over the mentoring duties. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

1.4
DE LE Jadeveon Clowney
Height: 6'6" Weight: 272lbs
Age: 21 College: S. Carolina
SPD 81 STR 86 AWR 51 AGI 84 ACC 81 TAK 72

Panthers could use an injection of youthful talent at defensive end. Clowney is a good combination of size, speed and power. He should have a long and productive career at LE.

1.5
WR Kelvin Benjamin
Height: 6'5" Weight: 234lbs
Age: 21 College: Florida State
SPD 95 STR 51 AWR 50 AGI 95 ACC 93 CTH 78 CAR 63 JMP 83 BTK 68

While the Broncos don’t need a wideout, Benjamin may prove too tempting to pass on. He’s only 21, 6’5” and can outrun most corners. Harshish wouldn’t complain.


1.6
DE LT Taylor Lewan
Height: 6'8" Weight: 302lbs
Age: 22 College: Michigan
SPD 71 STR 97 AWR 61 AGI 79 ACC 81 PBK 86 RBK 88

Lewan is big, strong and exceptionally fast with some polish to his game. He’s a day one starter with big upside.

1.7
WR Kevin Norwood
Height: 6'3" Weight: 210lbs
Age: 22 College: Alabama
SPD 99 STR 40 AWR 59 AGI 99 ACC 97 CTH 72 CAR 56 JMP 77 BTK 47

Colts are saddened they could not reunite the QB bros, but they settled on the younger (and taller) version of traded WR Meacham. Norwood is a blazer with the potential to end up the best of this draft class.


1.8
WR Jarvis Landry
Height: 6'1" Weight: 195lbs
Age: 22 College: LSU
SPD 97 STR 49 AWR 52 AGI 99 ACC 99 CTH 78 CAR 68 JMP 82 BTK 62

WR Robinson is on the wrong side of 30. Fellow wideouts Kerry Meier and Mike Williams are free agents. Adding Landry gives the Falcons speed that’s hard to match in 3-receiver sets.

1.9
SS Jonathan Dowling
Height: 6'3" Weight: 198lbs
Age: 22 College: W. Kentucky
SPD 91 STR 64 AWR 54 AGI 94 ACC 91 CTH 60 CAR 46 JMP 96 TAK 62

Downing is the most physically gifted safety in the class with room to grow. Veteran SS Bethea can start one more year and be his mentor until he’s ready to take over.


1.10
CB Kyle Fuller
Height: 6'0" Weight: 199lbs
Age: 23 College: Virginia
SPD 96 STR 67 AWR 60 AGI 96 ACC 99 CTH 63 CAR 47 JMP 85 TAK 70

Fuller has upper tier physical traits, good skills and awareness. The biggest knock is that he’s already 23, but he should progress quickly with the Super Bowl champs and their capable mentors.

1.11
QB Teddy Bridgewater
Height: 6'3" Weight: 218lbs
Age: 22 College: Louisville
SPD 56 STR 57 AWR 69 AGI 55 ACC 64 CAR 63 BTK 68 THP 88 THA 97

Brady is apparently done for real. Bridgewater may be lacking arm strength, but already possesses elite accuracy with a good base awareness. Teddy has a chance to become an upper echelon QB with a mentor.

1.12
CB Justin Gilbert
Height: 6'0" Weight: 194lbs
Age: 21 College: Oklahoma St.
SPD 93 STR 44 AWR 61 AGI 95 ACC 95 CTH 70 JMP 82 TAK 70

Gilbert is only 21 and is amongst the most polished corners in the draft. He has a chance to develop into a dangerous ball hawk in a couple of seasons.


1.13
RB Jeremy Hill
Height: 6'2" Weight: 235lbs
Age: 21 College: LSU
SPD 90 STR 78 AWR 56 AGI 87 ACC 89 CTH 57 CAR 78 JMP 54 BTK 85

RB Hunt just hit 30. Hill is a big bruising back with solid speed, which should give him a safe floor, and being only 21, he also carries good development potential.

1.14
CB Pierre Desir
Height: 6'1" Weight: 198lbs
Age: 21 College: Lambuth
SPD 97 STR 68 AWR 49 AGI 95 ACC 97 CTH 62 JMP 91 TAK 64

Desir is a big, strong, fast corner. He needs needs time and a mentor, but the potential to be a high end starter is there.

1.15
RB Carlos Hyde
Height: 6'0" Weight: 242lbs
Age: 22 College: Ohio State
SPD 89 STR 71 AWR 56 AGI 89 ACC 90 CTH 81 CAR 81 JMP 77 BTK 83

Marion Barber is slowing down, and Hyde is a big boy ready to grind out some yards from day 1 if needed.

1.16
LT Jake Matthews
Height: 6'5" Weight: 305lbs
Age: 22 College: Texas A&M
SPD 68 STR 99 AWR 64 AGI 76 ACC 77 PBK 90 RBK 90

The Redskins have a need at tackle because Marc Columbo is an ancient 36. Matthews is a tactician that can instantly start and play well as a rookie.
