2014 NFL Draft Order: Where All 32 Teams Will Select in Each Round
The NFL draft is incredibly significant for each and every team, regardless of when it is picking.
Round 1 of the draft will make for the best viewing, but the 200-plus picks thereafter matter, too.
While nailing first-round selections, especially those in the top 10, can set up a franchise for years to come, there is still plenty of talent to be found further down the board, and the relative reward increases in later rounds along with the degree of difficulty.

Most Intriguing Teams to Watch
Day 1: Cleveland Browns
There's a new regime in charge in Cleveland, and GM Ray Farmer has a favorable first-round slate with which to work.
Thank goodness this draft his top-heavy with quarterbacks, because the Browns have posted losing records in 18 of the past 21 seasons, at which point Bernie Kosar was still under center. There's no better way to turn around that history of futility than to land a franchise QB.
All indications show Farmer and the Browns looking to go that route, with ESPN's Chris Mortensen identifying a likely candidate to be the charismatic new face of the franchise, per NFL on ESPN:
With Johnny Manziel slinging the ball, Josh Gordon could be an even more dangerous downfield weapon, and the Browns offense would gain an extra dimension with Manziel's ability to move outside the pocket and make plays.
That's just what they could do with the fourth pick. They also have the 26th selection, which they could also package with some later picks to move up even higher in the first round. Wherever they wind up picking again, the Browns would likely get Manziel even more help on offense.
Day 2: Washington Redskins
Washington would be picking second overall if it still had its first-rounder. Instead, the Redskins packaged that pick to get Robert Griffin III, leaving them reeling after a dismal followup to a playoff appearance during RGIII's rookie campaign.
Griffin was ineffective and banged up last season, but he's still undoubtedly Washington's quarterback of the future. The question then becomes, who do the Redskins put around him in order to succeed?
Washington has the second picks in both the second and third rounds, which still gives them means to nab significant improvements for both their receiving corps and their secondary.
Picking up DeSean Jackson to pair with Pierre Garcon helps, but Griffin could still use a taller receiver to target in the red zone. And no matter how potent the passing game gets, the Redskins are going to be toast unless they shore up a secondary that was routinely beaten down the field last season.
Two Day 2 picks might not even be enough, so look for Washington to shop Kirk Cousins. The backup QB could have more value elsewhere than he does behind RGIII, and as ESPN's John Keim reports, an NFL executive believes Cousins could garner Washington another pick in the third round.
Day 3: Seattle Seahawks
The defending Super Bowl champs are already a powerhouse, and they got to be that way by crushing their late selections.
Seattle got both Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor in the fifth round. Walter Thurmond was drafted in the fourth, Byron Maxwell in the sixth and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith in the seventh. Those guys comprised one of the best defenses in recent memory, and none of them were one of the first 100 selections in their respective draft.
Now Thurmond is with the New York Giants, and the Legion of Boom always needs more hard hitters. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, the copycat nature of the league could lead to a run on bigger defensive backs earlier in the draft, cutting into the late value of which they have taken advantage.
Most of the principal members of Seattle's defense are still in place, so the need doesn't seem urgent. But injuries and other factors make depth a constant necessity.
If the Seahawks want to stay physical, they need to keep picking right.
