With the 20th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Trent Murphy, DE/OLB, Stanford All. The. Talent. In. The. World. He lead the NCAAF in sacks this past year. Murphy can come in and immediately put pressure on opposing QBs, something that the Cardinals were really bad at. Sam Acho missed the entire year this season, and John Abraham is 67 years old. Murphy will be Abraham's successor.

With the 1.21 pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Ra'Shede Hageman, DE, Minnesota============== Mmm. Getting the big boy for upfront. I do love drafting for the trenches. Even more so around this spot. Hageman should do very nicely stopping the run. cbagin OTC

With the 1.22 pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select David Yankey, OG, StanfordYankey will immediately provide a lift at OG, which was my weakest spot along the OL. Wanted to go CB or Hageman here but I don't love any of the CB's that are left and Morkim took Hageman, ugh. Anyway, perfectly happy to take Yankey in the end. Beastified OTC

With the 23rd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama I was going to take Hageman here, but I'm more than happy with Clinton-Dix. Clinton-Dix is ranked #15 overall on CBSsports draft prospects and currently the best player on the board with ease. I am honestly quite surprised he lasted this far. Some people don't like him for whatever reason but when I read the strengths and weaknesses of his player profile on CBSsports they say his only weakness is his strength to shed from blocks and is a weak tackler. I do not care about those traits. I want this pick to be a ball-hawking safety; my hard hitter is T.J. McDonald. Clinton-Dix is exactly that. And I love his name. It just sounds cool. coltsrockjcr is OTC

With the 24th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Antonio Richardson OT, Tennessee ============= Donald Penn is entering the twilight of his career. In "Tiny" Richardson, the Bucs get Penn's replacement and a massive OT with incredible athleticism and strength. Has handled #1 pick CLowney the past 2 years. Displays the traits of the great maulers and pass-protectors of the NFL. Only issue is that he needs to improve his consistency in technique. Can be inserted on either side of the line immediately. Should be a pro-bowler down the road. NickWorthem OTC

With the 25th pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Stephon Tuitt, DE/DT, Notre Dame. ===================================================================== Analysis of Tuitt, per CBSsports.com draft expert Dane Brugler: STRENGTHS: Tantalizing upside. Highly athletic frame despite massive size. Impressive combination of length, power and surprising quickness. Scheme versatility for the 3-4 and 4-3, possessing the size of most interior linemen while maintaining the quickness to provide a rush off the edge. WEAKNESSES: Arrived to 2013 fall came out of shape following hernia surgery and struggled to dominate as he had as a sophomore. Lack of consistency was a concern as a junior. ----- Tuitt should be able to come right in and contribute as either a DT besides Atkins, or as a DE to fill Michael Johnson's role.

With the 26th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft the Philadelphia Eagles Select Calvin Pryor, FS, Louisville. Though his skill set isn’t as desirable as it was before the NFL’s concussion crisis became widespread, Louisville’s Calvin Pryor is almost certainly the hardest hitter in the 2014 NFL Draft class and has a great chance to be a star at the next level. Pryor, who recently declared for the draft after three seasons with the Cardinals, has a playing style reminiscent of Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson. Many Mocks have the Eagles taking Pryor at 22 over Dix....Very big need filled.

With the 27th pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the New Orleans Saints select Kyle Van Noy, OLB, BYU. =========================================================================== Strengths: Excellent, excellent, excellent in pass coverage. It's an understatement to say he excels at it. For a linebacker, he has very fluid hips and can cover his part of the field without fail. He can also play man. Several times in his tape, you can see Van Noy lining up against WRs in the slot and cover them well. That's pretty amazing, not very many linebackers can do that. Van Noy is effective in the run game too. He's quick with very good diagnostic skills to blow up the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage. Areas for improvement: Struggles at generating pass rush. Has little to no moves to beat OLinemen, and while Van Noy is decently quick, I doubt he's quick enough to just get by OLineman with speed/athleticism alone. Van Noy also tends to miss a good amount of tackles because he tries to trip them up by their feet. That can get you by in college, but it definitely won't work in the NFL. He needs to just learn to be more physical and not be afraid to lay a big hit on somebody, but that's coachable. -------------- I made this pick because I lost Parys Haralson in free agency, and while I do have Victor Butler, I'm not sure how he'll come back from his injury. None of the Saints linebackers are great in pass coverage either, so this will give them an added dimension in that aspect. Panther OTC

With the 28th pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State. Steve Smith is getting older, the former face of the Carolina Panthers, won't be playing much longer. I don't think Brandon LaFell is the successor of Smith, which is one of the reasons why I didn't pursue him in Free Agency. The future #1 WR in Carolina wasn't in Carolina; until now. Kelvin Benjamin will start right away as our #2 WR, and be worked into taking Smith's job of being Cam's #1 WR. patriotsk1d - You're on the clock.

With the 29th pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the New England Patriots select Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech. I wouldnt make this pick if I didnt have an extra second rounder. Amaro is a very talented TE who is really more of a receiver. A very simular player to Hernandez, probably a more talented player coming out of college.
