Final First Round Mock Draft

9. Buffalo Bills
Eric Ebron
TE, UNC

The Bills need to give young quarterback E.J. Manuel  some offensive weapons. The New England Patriots have lit up the AFC East with Gronkowski over the past couple of years. Buffalo will look to add a big tight end of their own

10. Detroit Lions
Darqueze Dennard
CB, Michigan St.

The Lions play in a division with two of the most prolific offenses in football and don’t have a cornerback that can slow down Rodgers and Cutler. Dennard is arguably the best cornerback in the draft and will do the Lions wonders.

11. Tennessee Titans
Anthony Barr
OLB, UCLA

Ray Horton and Ken Whisenhunt won’t be able to pass up a defensive prospect like Barr that fell into their lap at 11. They have no choice but to take Barr who gives the Titans speed off the edge.

12. New York Giants
C.J. Mosley
LB, Alabama

Mosley was highly productive at Alabama, and set the tone for that defense with his motor and aggressive play. In addition to his outstanding cover skills, he’s very disruptive when turned loose as a pass-rusher. The Giants won their championships with defense and will look to get back to that with this pick

13. St. Louis Rams
Aaron Donald
DT, Pitt

Despite the fact that the St. Louis Rams already own one of the Top 5 pass rushing units in the NFL and they already took, arguably, the top pass rusher in the 2014 class at number two. Aaron Donald is far and away the best player available at this point in the draft. Donald is the perfect complement to Michael Brockers on the interior, and will inevitably cause some sleepless nights for offensive coordinators scheming to block the Rams front-seven.

14. Chicago Bears
Calvin Pryor
S, Louisville

The Bears defense did not play like the Bears defense that we’ve all come to know and love over the past decade, last season. If Donald falls to them, fully expect them to take Donald, but if not, safety is their next biggest position of need and Pryor is a good fit.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Justin Gilbert
CB, Oklahoma St.

The Steelers will be looking to fill the hole left by their former great cornerback Ryan Clark. Gilbert is considered by some as the best cornerback in the draft and fits what the Steelers do on defense.

16. Dallas Cowboys
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
S, Alabama

Clinton-Dix very well could have gone much earlier in the draft, so not only does he fill a position of need right here, but he is also arguably the best player available at this spot. The Cowboys need help on the back end and Clinton-Dix will do just that.
