2014 NFL Mock Draft: Predicting the first 14 picks on Mocking the Draft’s podcast

The 2014 NFL Draft figures to be quarterback heavy in the first round. With a handful of teams in desperate need of an upgrade at the position and plenty of quality prospects to pick from, there could be an early run on the position.

Quarterbacks went with the first three picks, which would be the first draft since 1999 in which that occurred. The most surprising of the three quarterbacks to come off the board in the first three picks was Fresno State's Derek Carr, whom Dan mocked to the Vikings. His reasoning: the Vikings could be coaching the North Team at the Senior Bowl, where Derek Carr will likely be playing in January. Given Carr's ideal height and arm strength along with his infectious personality, Dan thinks Minnesota will fall in love.
