11. Tennessee Titans
Anthony Barr
OLB, UCLA
Here at 11 the Titans still should focus on defense. I love the additions of Wesley Woodyard, Dexter McCluster and Michael Oher. With those two additions at WR and Tackle in free agency I would keep adding pieces to that defense.
12. New York Giants
Taylor Lewan
Tackle, Michigan
What an absolute ideal pick this would be for the Giants. Adding a top tier lineman in this draft to help protect your franchise quarterback is a great start to get the Giants back into the playoffs.
13. St. Louis Rams
Mike Evans
WR, Texas A&M
What a difference from mock 1.0 to 2.0 as now the Rams have added a top tackle and a key wide receiver in round one. In the previous mock, St. Louis tried nabbing a WR at second overall and hoping for a top 3 tackle here at 13. This scenario is much more attractive for Rams fans.
14. Chicago Bears
Zach Martin
Tackle, Notre Dame
The Bears took a major hit with the loss of Julius Peppers to arch rival Green Bay, but they were able to sign Lamarr Houston from the Raiders. The Bears have also signed Ryan Mundy and M.D. Jennings to help with their holes in the back end of the secondary. Drafting Martin gives the Bears some added protection up front that they seem to always need.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Donald
DT, Pittsburgh
The 2014 NFL Draft is an important one in the Steel City as they have had more questionable drafts of late than what Steelers fans are accustomed to. The Steelers suffered a big loss in free agency as Emmanuel Sanders signed with the Broncos, but Pittsburgh can draft a WR later. Pittsburgh needs to be more concerned about their defense and adding Aaron Donald is a great start at getting younger and lowering that concern.
