Kind of an interesting exercise WF does...

Walter Football 2014 Backward NFL Mock Draft
This is our sixth-annual backward mock draft. It's what it sounds like: What would the 2014 NFL Draft look like if the order were reversed? Whom would the Seahawks take with the first pick? My annual Backward NFL Mock Draft is listed below.

  1. Seattle Seahawks: Jadeveon Clowney , DE , South Carolina
    We're still not sure whom the Texans will pick at No. 1 - they themselves are still deciding between Jadeveon Clowney and Blake Bortles - but any team that didn't need a quarterback would automatically make Clowney its first-overall selection. Seattle actually has a need for a pass-rusher in the wake of losing Chris Clemons, so this is even more of a no-brainer.
  2. Denver Broncos: Khalil Mack , DE , Buffalo
  3. San Francisco 49ers: Sammy Watkins , WR , Clemson
  4. New England Patriots: Mike Evans , WR , Texas A&M
  5. Carolina Panthers: Greg Robinson , OT , Auburn
  6. New Orleans Saints: Anthony Barr , OLB , UCLA
  7. Cleveland Browns: Blake Bortles , QB , UCF
  8. San Diego Chargers: Justin Gilbert , CB , Oklahoma State
  9. Cincinnati Bengals: Jake Matthews , OT , Texas A&M
  10. Kansas City Chiefs: Taylor Lewan , OT , Michigan
  11. Philadelphia Eagles: HaHa Clinton-Dix , FS , Alabama
  12. Green Bay Packers: Eric Ebron , TE , North Carolina
  13. Arizona Cardinals: Derek Carr , QB , Fresno State
  14. Miami Dolphins: Zack Martin , OG / OT , Notre Dame
  15. New York Jets: Brandin Cooks , WR , Oregon State
  16. Baltimore Ravens: Calvin Pryor , FS , Louisville
  17. Dallas Cowboys: Aaron Donald , DT , Pittsburgh
  18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Darqueze Dennard , CB , Michigan State
  19. Chicago Bears: Timmy Jernigan , DT , Florida State
  20. St. Louis Rams: Bradley Roby , CB , Ohio State
  21. New York Giants: Kony Ealy , DE , Missouri
  22. Tennessee Titans: RaShede Hageman , DT , Minnesota
  23. Detroit Lions: Odell Beckham Jr. , WR , LSU
  24. Buffalo Bills: Marqise Lee , WR , Southern California
  25. Minnesota Vikings: Teddy Bridgewater , QB , Louisville
  26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kelvin Benjamin , WR , Florida State
  27. Atlanta Falcons: Dee Ford , OLB / DE , Auburn
  28. Oakland Raiders: Louis Nix , DT , Notre Dame
  29. Cleveland Browns: Ryan Shazier , OLB , Ohio State
  30. Jacksonville Jaguars: Johnny Manziel , QB , Texas A&M
  31. St. Louis Rams: Brandon Thomas , OG / OT , Clemson
  32. Houston Texans: Jimmy Garoppolo , QB , Eastern Illinois
    If the Texans pass on Blake Bortles and select Jadeveon Clowney, which Charlie has happening in his mock, they would probably target Jimmy Garoppolo in Round 2. Well, they still get Garoppolo - but with no Clowney. I guess it makes sense for the worst teams to be picking first.
 
Love it how they speak so definitively about what the Texans are deciding on.

People are so full of crap this time of year.
 
would think Broncos take some more protection for Manning with Greg Robinson, they already have Von Miller, even if Clady comes back to LT still huge upgrade @ other tackle plus depth.

could be wrong but 49er's are one team who might just take Evans over Watkins?

Patriots take Watkins.

could go on but season premiere Game of Thrones coming on, lol :specnatz:
 
Imagine Denver with mike Evans or Sammy Watkins. Yikes.

Mack would be a great pick for them though.

Seattle with clowney...
