Early 2014 NFL Mock Draft

I'm still mildly in denial that football season is over so I might as well look ahead to the always exciting and unpredictable NFL Draft. This weekend's scouting combine will no doubt shift the value of these players significantly depending on the individual performances, but I felt it was important to share my initial thoughts on this rookie class before we get a better look at them at the combine and their respective individual workouts in the next couple months..
