1. Titans – Marcus Mariota QB Oregon If Jake Locker can’t get it done… a replacement MUST be drafted. Mariota is Kaepernick 2.0 and will be highly coveted. 2. Jaguars – Jameis Winston QB Florida State The Jaguars have to find a QB. Winston is local, a winner, and the top prospect. 3. Raiders -Dorial Green-Beckham WR Missouri Beckham seems to be a bit of a knucklehead, but the talent is there. He could be the next Brandon Marshall/Demariyus Thomas. 4. Browns – Andrus Peat OT Stanford If they draft a QB in 2014, then going forward the line will need to play well. 5. Rams – Brett Hundley QB UCLA How long will the Rams wait on Sam Bradford to get healthy? Reports are that he will be asked to restructure in 2014. If that does not happen, you just might see Bradford cut and Kellen Clemens QB this team to the #1 pick. 6. Vikings – Shilique Calhoun DE Michigan State. Jared Allen cannot play forever, the Vikings need to draft depth for his retirement. 7. Bills – Leonard Williams DT USC The Bills need receivers but I’m thinking that gets done before this draft and they can turn their sights to helping Dareus and Williams. 8. Jets – Cedric Ogbuehi OT Texas A&M If Geno shows improvement, the next thing to do will be to develop depth all around him. 9. Cardinals – Bryce Petty QB Baylor Carson Palmer cannot play forever. Bryce Petty is in the mold of spread QBs and will bring an up tempo to this team. Runningback is a need as well. 10. Falcons – Ifo Ekpre-Olomu CB Oregon The Falcons literally cut Asante Samuel the day before I wrote this mock… while Brent Grimes is a top 5 player in Miami. 11. Redskins – Amari Cooper WR Alabama Jay Gruden will get the critics off Robert Griffin’s back… then we will all see he has no one to throw to. 12. Dolphins – Cameron Erving OT Florida State Lot’s of drama on this unit. It looks like Jonathan Martin will never play for them again. 13. Texans – Mario Edwards, Jr DE Florida State They will entertain Clowney #1 in 2014. If that doesn’t happen and they go with Manziel or Bortles then they’ll wait a year to help JJ Watt. 14. Steelers – Brandon Scherff OT Iowa Do we need an explination? This unit has been a mess for a while. 15. Giants – Landon Collins SS Alabama Yes, Antrel Rolle was the best safety in football statswise in 2013, but let’s be honest there is still a need in this defensive backfield. 16. Chargers – Todd Gurley RB Georgia Ryan Matthews only had good games versus Denver… Ronnie Brown was taking important snaps from him. 17. Eagles – Vic Beasley DE/OLB Clemson The Eagles need a young linebacker, especially a pass rusher. 18. Bears – Dante Fowler, Jr DE Florida The Bears are among the league’s worst rushing defenses. 19. Lions – Trae Waynes CB Michigan State Though this team needs a receiver in the worst way, I think that gets done in 2014. 20. Cowboys – Luke Kaumatule TE Stanford Will 2014 be Jason Witten’s last season? 21. Chiefs – Randy Gregory DE Nebraska The Chiefs have built a great defense, and now simply need to develop depth. 22. Bengals – Nelson Agholor WR USC AJ Green and company are talented, but outside of Marvin Jones there isn’t a true complimentary receiver on this squad. 23. Ravens – T.J. Yeldon RB Alabama Ray Rice looked hurt in 2013. Hopefully he comes back strong, or else he may lose his spot to a young gun. 24. Colts – Jordan Jenkins OLB Georgia The Colts have to continue adding pieces to this defense. 25. Panthers – Stefon Diggs WR Maryland After Steve Smith retires, the Panthers are going to be in trouble. 26. Saints – La’el Collins OT LSU The Saints have young tackles they like, but they make too many mistakes. If things don’t go well in 2014, don’t rule out spending a #1 to fix that problem. 27. Patriots – Melvin Gordon RB Wisconsin Legarrette Blount is a week-to-week enigma, and Stevan Ridley will fumble away a game from time to time. Gordon is a workhorse from the Wisconsin RB factory, the perfect guy to feed touches to. 28. 49ers – Kyler Fackrell OLB Utah State Aldon Smith came back in time for the playoffs, but then the Niners lost Bowman to a freak injury. 29. Packers – Devin Funchess TE Michigan If Jermichael Finley is let go, there will be a need to develop some young tight ends to help Aaron Rodgers. 30. Buccaneers – Ellis McCarthy DT UCLA *2015 Surprise Team* Gerald McCoy is showing he is among the league’s best DT’s now it up to the Bucs to keep the double team blocks away. 31. Seahawks – Tre Jackson OG Florida State The Seahawks have had blocking issues all over this line, but they got it together right in time. Some of their guys may attempt to cash in on their Super Bowl XLVIII victory, leaving holes in front of Russell Wilson. 32. Broncos – Jalen Collins CB LSU Champ Bailey will surely announce his retirement before the 2015 draft. The Broncos cannot rely on Tony Carter and Chris Harris Jr. for the long term. http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2015-nfl-mock-draft/ I'd be okay with taking Ogbuehi. of course this is too far in advance, but it's fun to look at.
Not trying to sound like an asshole but this draft is basically useless until we go through this draft and free agency period as well as see the development of our roster in 2014. The Jets biggest need maybe a LB by then, there's no real way of telling. These would be way more informative come a year from now. Good to look back at, sure, but not useful yet.
If we dont snag a WR in the first this year and take a OLB, FS, or Ebron we have to grab DGR and theres no reason he should be projected that high, walterfootball has him ranked much lower in the first, i believe out of the top 15... has major off the field issues, but the potential is unreal. Could boom like AJ green
This as well, if we're a bottom ten team I dont see how we dont draft a QB. We'll more than likely provide Geno with a plethora of talent, if he cant do anything with it no way I want him around here.
LMAO In order to make this, you would need to predict the 2014 draft, the outcome of those draft picks, 2014 free agency, the outcome of those free agents, and the outcome of the 2014 season in regards to record and performance by all positions. Give me break!! hahaha
All people do for a draft one year out is look at current needs and player values. They know that projecting this far into the future is not accurate but it helps list values of potential first rounders with how they would fit on an NFL teams chart right now. The silly thing is how many of you that supposedly follow the draft think one of these is crazy. This has been going on for years at several sites.
What's crazy about the 2015 projections is that the Jets are currently drafting 18th in a season in which they were cap-crippled and playing a rookie QB. Anybody projecting the Jets to draft 8th next season when they will have a draft and a half and an unfettered cap is nuts. It's just unreality at it's best.
Well, a few of them have us picking first overall lol. It's just a projection that no one should take too seriously.
I guarantee people will say because of the point differential (-97, 7th worst in the NFL), people will say we were lucky to win 8 games. That's fair, but this team should also be a lot better, especially considering so many of our core players last year were young and are returning. I look at these more for the players, and who people think should go that high right now. The order and teams' selections are irrelevant.
The safest place to project a team to draft, assuming no obvious impediments like cap hell, is exactly where they drafted the previous season. They're not likely to have that pick but they are fairly likely to be within 3 or 4 positions in the draft order. The media's obsessive Jets trashing in seasons in which they don't look particularly strong is so well established at this point that it's almost not worth commenting on. It's like when the dog farts in the corner of the room and everybody just holds their breath until the wave passes by. The silly thing of course is that when the Jets look like contenders everybody falls all over themselves to make the Jets out as some kind of dark horse to win it all, even when it is clear that they have flaws likely to prevent that outcome. Yeah, Rex was spouting Super Bowl in 2009, but the Jets were playing a rookie QB. No serious analyst of the game should have been willing to give the Jets more than a 1% chance to win the Super Bowl that year, and then only as a fantastical outlier that had never occurred before.
Yes sir, Mo Wilk potentially playing this season for a new long term contract, Couples hopefully playing a full season (his 3rd overall, and 2nd at olb), and our d. rookie of the year entering his 2nd year could mean a huge breakout year for our d in terms of sacks and points allowed. If Geno picks up where he left off the final month of the season, and with actual weapons to throw to, I see us as a playoff team. We just need to limit turnovers and stop giving up the big play on defense and we can beat any team in the league. If the pats lose Edelman to free agency and they don't sign anyone to help Brady (which is what they've been doing for his entire career not counting 2007) we might even be able to compete for the division. We just need to get over the hump and win on a consistent basis.
I think we are gonna surprise some people again this year. no one expected us to finish 8-8 last year. I think we make the playoffs next year.
