Mario's Mock Draft.

 Finally! The day has come. That right, the NFL draft is here and every fan is hoping their team gets that one player that comes in and makes a difference, day one. We all want to make a case of why certain should draft a certain player, when in reality, anything can happen. That's why we love the draft, right? So we can see if a big trade happens or see if a player has that awkward drop in the draft and has to wait in the green room, sweating and praying they're the next name called. Do you remember Eli Manning being drafted No.1, by the San Diego Chargers and refused to play for them? Aaron Rodgers falling to No.24? Moments like these are why we love draft day.

    This year is an interesting draft, to say the least. I know, it's so cliche to say that, but this years draft is really interesting. There are about three QB's that could go first round- Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel- or fall to the second round. Johnny Manziel and Bortles have both been projected to go as high as the top 10. Will both of them or neither of them? Who knows.

  The bright spot of this years draft will be the receivers, there is a great class of receivers. There will be receivers taken in the third-and-fourth round that will be stars in this league, three years from now. Another position that is very deep is corner back, there will be at least five drafted in the first round.

  I bring to you, a mock draft like no others. It's not going to be all based upon team "needs". All teams have needs! There is only one Super Bowl winner, every season. That means that 31/32 teams have needs.

  My mock draft goes like this:

1. Houston Texans- Jadeveon Clowney
2. St. Louis Rams- Greg Robinson
3. Jacksonville Jaguars- Khalil Mack
4. Cleveland Browns- Sammy Watkins
5. Oakland Raiders- Mike Evans
6. Atlanta Falcons- Jake Matthews 
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Stephon Tuitt
8. Minnesota Vikings- Blake Bortles 
9. Buffalo Bills- Calvin Pryor
10. Detroit Lions- Justin Gilbert
11. Tennessee Titans- Anthony Barr
12. NY Giants- Taylor Lewan
13. St. Louis Rams- Odell Beckham Jr.
14. Chicago Bears- Aaron Donald
15. Pittsburgh Steelers- Darqueze Dennard
16. Dallas Cowboys- Deone Bucannon
17. Baltimore Ravens- Kelvin Benjamin
18. NY Jets- Eric Ebron
19. Miami Dolphins- Xavier Su'a-Filo
20. Arizona Cardinals- C.J. Mosley
21. Green Bay Packer- Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix
22. Philadelphia Eagles- Brandin Cooks
23. Kansas City Chiefs- Teddy Bridgewater
24.  Cincinnati Bengals- Kyle Fuller
25. San Diego Chargers- Bradly Roby
26. Cleveland Browns- Johnny Manziel
27. New Orleans Saints- Ryan Shazier
28. Carolina Panthers- Marqise Lee
29. New England Patriots- Louis Nix III
30. San Francisco 49ers- Kony Ealy
31. Denver Broncos- Jason Verrett
32. Seattle Seahawks- Cody Latimer

  I hope you all enjoy the 2014 NFL draft. May the force be with your team! Just remember, the draft is about more than your team getting the best players and becoming better. It's also about, boys becoming men and beginning a new chapter in their lives with their families. Tonight, just sit back with your favorite teams ball cap or jersey, drink an ice cold beverage and prepare to watch your team make either the best or worst decisions.
