2014 NFL Draft Picks: List of Prospects Selected by Each Team

There we have it. After 256 selections, the 2014 NFL draft reached its conclusion.

Each team improved through the draft; although, it will still be some time before we fully realize the impact of this draft class on the NFL as a whole.

Coming away with a good draft haul can propel a franchise into the NFL's elite. However, a poor draft can set a team back for years.

So, which team figures to benefit most this year?

As teams begin to scramble for undrafted free agents, let's take a team-by-team look back through the draft's seven rounds.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	17	C.J. Mosley	ILB	Alabama
2	48	Timmy Jernigan	DT	Florida State
3	79	Terrence Brooks	FS	Florida State
3	99	Crockett Gillmore	TE	Colorado State
4	134	Brent Urban	DT	Virginia
4	138	Lorenzo Taliaferro	RB	Coastal Carolina
5	175	John Urschel	OG	Penn State
6	194	Keith Wenning	QB	Ball State
7	218	Mike Campanaro	WR	Wake Forest

A great selection in linebacker C.J. Mosley was the highlight of the draft for the Ravens. Mosley is an agile, athletic linebacker who will fit nicely in Baltimore's defensive scheme.

Cincinnati Bengals

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	24	Darqueze Dennard	CB	Michigan State
2	55	Jeremy Hill	RB	LSU
3	88	Will Clarke	DE	West Virginia
4	111	Russell Bodine	C	North Carolina
5	164	AJ McCarron	QB	Alabama
6	212	Marquis Flowers	OLB	Arizona
7	239	James Wright	WR	LSU
7	252	Lavelle Westbrooks	CB	Georgia Southern

The Bengals made a great choice in Darqueze Dennard in Round 1. Unfortunately, the team followed it up with a couple questionable picks in Jeremy Hill and AJ McCarron—not exactly great fits or positions of dire need.

Cleveland Browns

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	8	Justin Gilbert	CB	Oklahoma State
1	22	Johnny Manziel	QB	Texas A&M
2	35	Joel Bitonio	OT	Nevada
3	71	Christian Kirksey	OLB	Iowa
3	94	Terrance West	RB	Towson
4	127	Pierre Desir	CB	Lindenwood

The Browns made the draft's biggest splash selecting Johnny Manziel at No. 22 overall. It will be interesting to see how he fares in his rookie season with a potential suspension looming for Josh Gordon.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	15	Ryan Shazier	OLB	Ohio State
2	46	Stephon Tuitt	DE	Notre Dame
3	97	Dri Archer	RB	Kent State
4	118	Martavis Bryant	WR	Clemson
5	157	Shaquille Richardson	CB	Arizona
5	173	Wesley Johnson	OT	Vanderbilt
6	192	Jordan Zumwalt	ILB	UCLA
6	215	Daniel McCullers	DT	Tennessee
7	230	Rob Blanchflower	TE	Massachusetts

Pittsburgh added some nice pieces to its defensive front, however, the team still lacks youth in the secondary. Ryan Shazier should be a great fit, but it was a surprise this team didn't add a cornerback or safety in the early rounds.

AFC South

Houston Texans

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	1	Jadeveon Clowney	DE	South Carolina
2	33	Xavier Su'a-Filo	OG	UCLA
3	65	C.J. Fiedorowicz	TE	Iowa
3	83	Louis Nix	DT	Notre Dame
4	135	Tom Savage	QB	Pittsburgh
6	177	Jeoffrey Pagan	DE	Alabama
6	181	Alfred Blue	RB	LSU
6	211	Jay Prosch	FB	Auburn
7	216	Andre Hal	CB	Vanderbilt
7	256	Lonnie Ballentine	FS	Memphis

Jadeveon Clowney was the draft's top prospect, and fittingly went No. 1 overall to the Texans. After adding Louis Nix later in the draft, the team's defensive front looks very scary this season.

Indianapolis Colts

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
2	59	Jack Mewhort	OT	Ohio State
3	90	Donte Moncrief	WR	Mississippi
5	166	Jonathan Newsome	DE	Ball State
6	203	Andrew Jackson	ILB	Western Kentucky
7	232	Ulrick John	OT	Georgia State

The Colts didn't have many picks to work with. The team did make the most of them, though, selecting Jack Mewhort to boost the offensive line and Donte Moncrief to give Andrew Luck a much-needed additional weapon.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	3	Blake Bortles	QB	Central Florida
2	39	Marqise Lee	WR	USC
2	61	Allen Robinson	WR	Penn State
3	93	Brandon Linder	OG	Miami
4	114	Aaron Colvin	CB	Oklahoma
5	144	Telvin Smith	ILB	Florida State
5	159	Chris Smith	DE	Arkansas
6	205	Luke Bowanko	C	Virginia
7	222	Storm Johnson	RB	Central Florida

It looked to be a risk selecting Blake Bortles at No. 3 overall, however, the Jaguars did a nice job of getting him some help quickly. Selecting Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson in the second round were great moves for the Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	11	Taylor Lewan	OT	Michigan
2	54	Bishop Sankey	RB	Washington
4	112	DaQuan Jones	DT	Penn State
4	122	Marqueston Huff	FS	Wyoming
5	152	Avery Williamson	ILB	Kentucky
6	178	Zach Mettenberger	QB	LSU

Taylor Lewan and Bishop Sankey will do wonders for this offense. Lewan is a mauler in the trenches, and Sankey is a well-rounded running back. The late addition of Zach Mettenberger also gives this team some leeway with Jake Locker.

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	4	Sammy Watkins	WR	Clemson
2	44	Cyrus Kouandjio	OT	Alabama
3	73	Preston Brown	ILB	Louisville
4	109	Ross Cockrell	CB	Duke
5	153	Cyril Richardson	OG	Baylor
7	221	Randell Johnson	OLB	Florida Atlantic
7	237	Seantrel Henderson	OT	Miami

Trading up for Sammy Watkins at No. 4 overall was a brilliant move by the Bills. EJ Manuel continues to develop as an NFL quarterback, and having Watkins in the fold will do wonders.

Miami Dolphins

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	19	Ja'Wuan James	OT	Tennessee
2	63	Jarvis Landry	WR	LSU
3	67	Billy Turner	OT	North Dakota State
4	125	Walt Aikens	CB	Liberty
5	155	Arthur Lynch	TE	Georgia
5	171	Jordan Tripp	OLB	Montana
6	190	Matt Hazel	WR	Coastal Carolina
7	234	Terrence Fede	DE	Marist

The Dolphins addressed their needs along the offensive line, however, the team took a big reach for Ja'Wuan James in the first round. He now has some lofty expectations to live up to.

New England Patriots

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	29	Dominique Easley	DT	Florida
2	62	Jimmy Garoppolo	QB	Eastern Illinois
4	105	Bryan Stork	C	Florida State
4	130	Jame White	RB	Wisconsin
4	140	Cameron Flemming	OT	Stanford
6	179	Jon Halapio	OG	Florida
6	198	Zach Moore	DE	Concordia
6	206	Jemea Thomas	CB	Georgia Tech
7	244	Jeremy Gallon	WR	Michigan

New England put together one of the draft's most puzzling hauls. Dominique Easley has great upside, but is recently removed from ACL surgery. Jimmy Garoppolo may be a talented prospect, but adding a signal-caller in the second round wasn't expected for this team.

New York Jets

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	18	Calvin Pryor	FS	Louisville
2	49	Jace Amaro	TE	Texas Tech
3	80	Dexter McDougle	CB	Maryland
4	104	Jalen Saunders	WR	Oklahoma
4	115	Shaq Evans	WR	UCLA
4	137	Dakota Dozier	OT	Furman
5	154	Jeremiah George	ILB	Iowa State
6	195	Brandon Dixon	CB	Northwest Missouri State
6	209	Quincy Enunwa	WR	Nebraska
6	210	IK Enemkpali	DE	Louisiana Tech
6	213	Tajh Boyd	QB	Clemson
7	233	Trevor Reilly	OLB	Utah

The Jets had a great draft. Calvin Pryor adds a physical presence in the secondary, and Jace Amaro will give a big, fast target to whoever winds up under center this season.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	31	Bradley Roby	CB	Ohio State
2	56	Cody Latimer	WR	Indiana
3	95	Michael Schofield	OT	Michigan
5	156	Lamin Barrow	OLB	LSU
6	207	Matthew Paradis	C	Boise State
7	242	Corey Nelson	OLB	Oklahoma

Bradley Roby was a phenomenal first-round selection for Denver. He fills a big need and will be a nice complement to Aqib Talib. Denver also got deeper at wide receiver, adding the talented Cody Latimer in the second round.

Kansas City Chiefs

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	23	Dee Ford	DE	Auburn
3	87	Phillip Gaines	CB	Rice
4	124	De'Anthony Thomas	RB	Oregon
5	163	Aaron Murray	QB	Georgia
6	193	Zach Fulton	OG	Tennessee
6	200	Laurent Duvernay-Tardif	OT	McGill

It was a rather perplexing draft for the Chiefs. Dee Ford was not only a reach in the first round, but he doesn't seem to fill an immediate need. Adding De'Anthony Thomas in the fourth round was a great move, as he'll be a fine replacement for the departed Dexter McCluster.

Oakland Raiders

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	5	Khalil Mack	OLB	Buffalo
2	36	Derek Carr	QB	Fresno State
3	81	Gabe Jackson	OG	Mississippi State
4	107	Justin Ellis	DT	Louisiana Tech
4	116	Keith McGill	CB	Utah
7	219	Travis Carrie	CB	Ohio
7	235	Shelby Harris	DE	Illinois State
7	247	Jonathan Dowling	SS	Western Kentucky

Khalil Mack in the first round and Derek Carr in the second round began a great haul for the Raiders. This team improved in a big way on both sides of the ball.

San Diego Chargers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	25	Jason Verrett	CB	TCU
2	50	Jeremiah Attaochu	OLB	Georgia Tech
3	89	Chris Watt	OG	Notre Dame
5	165	Ryan Carrethers	DT	Arkansas State
6	201	Marion Grice	RB	Arizona State
7	240	Tevin Reese	WR	Baylor

The Chargers needed a cornerback in a big way and got a great one in Jason Verrett. Speedy and versatile, Verrett can play both outside and in the slot. 

NFC North

Chicago Bears

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	14	Kyle Fuller	CB	Virginia Tech
2	51	Ego Ferguson	DT	LSU
3	82	Will Sutton	DT	Arizona State
4	117	Ka'Deem Carey	RB	Arizona
4	131	Brock Vereen	FS	Minnesota
6	183	David Fales	QB	San Jose State
6	191	Pat O'Donnell	P	Miami
7	246	Charles Leno Jr.	OT	Boise State

The Bears started the draft nicely by selecting Kyle Fuller in the first round, however, the team's draft quickly went downhill after that with some questionable selections in the third and fourth rounds.

Detroit Lions

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	10	Eric Ebron	TE	North Carolina
2	40	Kyle Van Noy	OLB	BYU
3	76	Travis Swanson	C	Arkansas
4	133	Nevin Lawson	CB	Utah State
4	136	Larry Webster	DE	Bloomsburg
5	158	Caraun Reid	DT	Princeton
6	189	T.J. Jones	WR	Notre Dame
7	229	Nate Freese	K	Boston College

Matthew Stafford must be a very happy man. The quarterback now has more weapons than he will know what to do with after the Lions selected Eric Ebron in the first round. Watch out for the Lions offense this season.

Green Bay Packers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	21	Ha Ha Clinton-Dix	FS	Alabama
2	53	Davante Adams	WR	Fresno State
3	85	Khyri Thornton	DT	Southern Miss
3	98	Richard Rodgers	TE	California
4	121	Carl Bradford	OLB	Arizona State
5	161	Corey Linsley	C	Ohio State
5	176	Jared Abbrederis	WR	Wisconsin
6	197	Demetri Goodson	CB	Baylor
7	236	Jeff Janis	WR	Saginaw Valley State

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Packers may be one of the best fits in the entire draft. Green Bay needed a safety who can play center field, and Clinton-Dix has the fluidity and athleticism to do just that.

Minnesota Vikings

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	9	Anthony Barr	OLB	UCLA
1	32	Teddy Bridgewater	QB	Louisville
3	72	Scott Crichton	DE	Oregon State
3	96	Jerick McKinnon	RB	Georgia Southern
5	145	David Yankey	OG	Stanford
6	182	Antone Exum	CB	Virginia Tech
6	184	Kendall James	CB	Maine
7	220	Shamar Stephen	DT	Connecticut
7	223	Brandon Watts	OLB	Georgia Tech
7	225	Jabari Price	CB	North Carolina

After grabbing pass-rushing specialist Anthony Barr early, the Vikings traded back into the first round to select Teddy Bridgewater. Now the team has its quarterback of the future and a viable signal-caller in front of Adrian Peterson.

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	6	Jake Matthews	OT	Texas A&M
2	37	Ra'Shede Hageman	DT	Minnesota
3	68	Dezmen Southward	FS	Wisconsin
4	103	Devonta Freeman	RB	Florida State
4	139	Prince Shembo	OLB	Notre Dame
5	147	Ricardo Allen	CB	Purdue
5	168	Marquis Spruill	ILB	Syracuse
7	253	Yawin Smallwood	OLB	Connecticut
7	255	Tyler Starr	OLB	South Dakota

Jake Matthews will certainly solidify the offensive line in a big way, but the team's best selection was Ra'Shede Hageman in the second round. Stout against the run and athletic enough to rush the passer from the interior, he'll be a major defensive upgrade in Atlanta.

Carolina Panthers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	28	Kelvin Benjamin	WR	Florida State
2	60	Kony Ealy	DE	Missouri
3	92	Trai Turner	OG	LSU
4	128	Tre Boston	SS	North Carolina
5	148	Bene Benwikere	CB	San Jose State
6	204	Tyler Gaffney	RB	Stanford

Well, the Panthers got their receiver in Kelvin Benjamin. He may not have tremendous upside, but at least he'll provide Cam Newton with a big target on the outside.

New Orleans Saints

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	20	Brandin Cooks	WR	Oregon State
2	58	Stanley Jean-Baptiste	CB	Nebraska
4	126	Khairi Fortt	ILB	California
5	167	Vinnie Sunseri	SS	Alabama
5	169	Ronald Powell	OLB	Florida
6	202	Tavon Rooks	OT	Kansas State

Selecting Brandin Cooks was a great move by New Orleans. It's never a bad idea to give Drew Brees some weapons, and Cooks will be a great replacement for the versatile Darren Sproles.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	7	Mike Evans	WR	Texas A&M
2	38	Austin Seferian-Jenkins	TE	Washington
3	69	Charles Sims	RB	West Virginia
5	143	Kadeem Edwards	OG	Tennessee State
5	149	Kevin Pamphile	OT	Purdue
6	185	Robert Herron	WR	Wyoming

The Buccaneers didn't pull any punches and went offense early. Mike Evans and Austin Seferian-Jenkins will give this team's aerial attack some much-needed size and speed.

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	16	Zack Martin	OT	Notre Dame
2	34	Demarcus Lawrence	DE	Boise State
4	119	Anthony Hitchens	OLB	Iowa
5	146	Devin Street	WR	Pittsburgh
7	231	Ben Gardner	DE	Stanford
7	238	Will Smith	OLB	Texas Tech
7	248	Ahmad Dixon	SS	Baylor
7	251	Ken Bishop	DT	Northern Illinois
7	254	Terrance Mitchell	CB	Oregon

Even though many fans wanted Manziel, the Cowboys opted for the safe pick in Zack Martin. This was a great choice. Martin handled himself very well at left tackle at Notre Dame and has the athleticism and versatility to play multiple positions along the offensive line.

New York Giants

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	12	Odell Beckham Jr.	WR	LSU
2	43	Weston Richburg	C	Colorado State
3	74	Jay Bromley	DT	Syracuse
4	113	Andre Williams	RB	Boston College
5	152	Nat Berhe	SS	San Diego State
5	174	Devon Kennard	OLB	USC
6	187	Bennett Jackson	CB	Notre Dame

The selection of Odell Beckham Jr. was fantastic for this offense. Pairing the athletic and physical Beckham with the equally athletic Victor Cruz will give Eli Manning a nice one-two punch this season.

Philadelphia Eagles

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	26	Marcus Smith	OLB	Louisville
2	42	Jordan Matthews	WR	Vanderbilt
3	86	Josh Huff	WR	Oregon
4	101	Jaylen Watkins	CB	Florida
5	141	Taylor Hart	DE	Oregon
5	162	Ed Reynolds	FS	Stanford
7	224	Beau Allen	DT	Wisconsin

It was a rather interesting draft for the Eagles. The team decided to pass up big needs in the secondary early and reached for a linebacker instead. We'll have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Washington Redskins

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
2	47	Trent Murphy	OLB	Stanford
3	66	Morgan Moses	OT	Virginia
3	78	Spencer Long	OG	Nebraska
4	102	Bashaud Breeland	CB	Clemson
5	142	Ryan Grant	WR	Tulane
6	186	Lache Seastrunk	RB	Baylor
7	217	Ted Bolser	TE	Indiana
7	228	Zach Hocker	K	Arkansas

Washington didn't have many early picks to work with, however, the selection of Morgan Moses was brilliant. He's a very solid right tackle, will start right away and help keep Robert Griffin III upright.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	27	Deone Buchannon	SS	Washington State
2	52	Troy Niklas	TE	Notre Dame
3	84	Kareem Martin	DE	North Carolina
3	91	John Brown	WR	Pittsburgh State
4	120	Logan Thomas	QB	Virginia Tech
5	160	Ed Stinson	DE	Alabama
6	196	Walt Powell	WR	Murray State

The Cardinals didn't come away with an overwhelmingly impressive haul. Although, Deone Bucannon gives Arizona the possibility of having one of the league's best secondaries this season.

San Francisco 49ers

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	30	Jimmie Ward	SS	Northern Illinois
2	57	Carlos Hyde	RB	Ohio State
3	70	Marcus Martin	C	USC
3	77	Chris Borland	ILB	Wisconsin
3	100	Brandon Thomas	OT	Clemson
4	106	Bruce Ellington	WR	South Carolina
4	129	Dontae Johnson	CB	North Carolina State
5	150	Aaron Lynch	DE	South Florida
5	170	Keith Reaser	CB	Florida Atlantic
6	180	Kenneth Acker	CB	SMU
7	243	Kaleb Ramsey	DE	Boston College
7	245	Trey Millard	FB	Oklahoma

The Jimmie Ward pick in the first round made plenty of sense for this team. It filled a big need and got them a player who is a great schematic fit. Selecting Carlos Hyde in the second round was a bit iffy given the depth at the running back position in San Francisco.

Seattle Seahawks

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
2	45	Paul Richardson	WR	Colorado
2	64	Justin Britt	OT	Missouri
4	108	Cassius Marsh	DE	UCLA
4	123	Kevin Norwood	WR	Alabama
4	132	Kevin Pierre-Louis	OLB	Boston College
5	172	Jimmy Staten	DT	Middle Tennessee State
6	199	Garrett Scott	OT	Marshall
6	208	Eric Pinkins	FS	San Diego State
7	227	Kiero Small	RB	Arkansas

This was another draft by the Seahawks that was just strange. Paul Richardson and Justin Britt, although solid players, were huge reaches in Round 2. They'll probably both become stars anyway due to the recent draft success of this team.

St. Louis Rams

Round	Pick	Selection	Position	College
1	2	Greg Robinson	OT	Auburn
1	13	Aaron Donald	DT	Pittsburgh
2	41	Lamarcus Joyner	CB	Florida State
3	75	Tre Mason	RB	Auburn
4	110	Mo Alexander	SS	Utah State
6	188	E.J. Gaines	CB	Missouri
6	214	Garrett Gilbert	QB	SMU
7	226	Mitchell Van Dyk	OT	Portland State
7	241	C.B. Bryant	FS	Ohio State
7	249	Michael Sam	DE	Missouri
7	250	Demetrius Rhaney	C	Tennessee State

Greg Robinson was a solid first-round selection, however, Aaron Donald was even better. With Donald in the fold, this team could have one of the most ferocious defensive lines in the entire NFL this season.
