The Armchair Quarterback’s 2014 Mock Draft 2.0

This week’s Armchair Quarterback will be a little different than the norm because with the initial wave of free agency over it’s it’s time for my second mock draft of the offseason. You can check my first attempt HERE.

With most of the key free agents off the market at this point, the landscape of the NFL has changed since my first version immediately following the combine. Besides that, this time around I’ve predicted some trades that shake things up a little.

I’ve tried my best to study each team for their team needs and spent time looking over the top prospects including watching at least some game footage of everyone in my first round mock. However, I will readily admit that I don’t know your favorite team as well as you do (unless your team is the Chiefs). So if I have your team picking someone at a position that you don’t agree with or you think there is a different player available that would be much better suited for your team, please let me know.

I’ll take all that info into account when I release my final version before the draft next month. Likewise, if you’re a die-hard fan of the college that one of these prospects is from and you think I have evaluated him wrong, let me know.

All criticism/suggestions are welcome. A pet peeve of mine is mock drafts where the person who created it clearly has no knowledge of my favorite team. So help me to not be that person.

The mock draft starts on the next page.

After reading the mock draft don’t forget to check out the “Armchair QB Odds and Ends of the Week” for my beer review of the week (Samuel Smith’s India Ale) plus my rant of the week.
