Lots of things factor into picks in the NFL Draft, so developing a semi accurate mock draft is not an easy thing. You have to deal with smoke screens put out by teams, those same teams trading up or down, the teams that reach for players, and just flat out picks that don’t make sense. When doing a mock, you sometimes must anticipate trades. For example. the 49ers will not get Odell Beckham Jr. with the 30th pick, but I expect them to trade up with the Titans, who don’t have a 3rd round pick, to get him. As someone who has been doing NFL mock drafts for 6 years, I can tell you it’s a crazy experience. So without further ado, I present to you my 2014 Final Mock Draft.
