2014 Top 5 QBs of the Draft

A coworker and I decided to try to predict the first 5 Quarterbacks picked in the draft this year, and the order they are drafted in. We aren't trying to guess the exact picks or teams, just in what order the top 5 QBs fall off the board. I've discovered that this is a pretty overwhelming thing to try to predict (seeing as I have no idea who is targeting who, where), so I thought I'd ask if anybody here has any insights. Any advice?

Or if you just want to guess as well, feel free to list the first 5 QBs you think will be picked.

This I think is about right I think or flip vikes and Browns

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I just posted an article on Johnny Manziel.

I would bet on him falling before Bridgewater. I also think Oakland could trade down from No. 5 and target Carr. The Browns could also be after him with their No. 26 pick.

Bortles to Houston seems likely. They sent the farm to watch his pro day. I think Bridgewater fits Minnesota well.

Bortles to Houston does seem pretty likely at the moment.

I'm thinking that Manziel will go off the boards next, because someone is going to fall in love with him.

Beyond those two is where it gets really tricky for me. I just cant get a good feel for where Carr, Bridgewater, McCarron, or Garoppolo will fall.

My most recent mock draft.

1. Blake Bortles to Houston
2. Johnny Manziel to Jacksonville
3. Teddy Bridgewater to Minnesota
4. Derek Carr to Cleveland

I would go with Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round to maybe Oakland. I could see Oakland trading into the first-round to select Carr and Cleveland trading back into round two to take Garoppolo.

I can't see Bortles going to Houston; I can't see any QB going to Houston except possibly Manziel, and with the first pick, that doesn't seem likely. I think they use the first pick for something else, and maybe grab one of the QBs with the first pick of the second round.

As we get closer to Draft Day, I'm having trouble deciding which way to go.
I like the idea of taking an order from before the Combine, Pro-Days, and workouts. Something like this:

1 Blake Bortles
2 Teddy Bridgewater
3 Derek Carr
4 Johnny Manziel
5 Jimmy Garoppolo
Ending the run in the mid-late second round.

On the other hand, I wonder how much the Pro-days and whatnot have influence teams. Who's fallen in love with who?
Manziel on the rise? Bridgewater falling? Oh well, who knows?

1 Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (TEXANS)
2 Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida (JACKSONVILLE)
3 Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville (BROWNS)
4 Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State (VIKINGS)
5 Tom Savage, QB, Pittsburgh (RAIDERS)

Texans may not keep Manziel, but he will be the 1st QB drafted, if nobody trades up for the rights to Johhny Football then The Texans will have their man.

Bortles to Jacksonville is a good fit.

The Browns continue their never ending quest to draft a franchise QB.

As do The Vikings.

The Raiders take Savage, even though Jimmy Garoppolo and several more qb's are rated ahead of him, because they are the Raiders!!!!

Added Bonus:

The Packers grab David Fales, QB, San Jose State, with their 5th round comp pick.

beast (7h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (7h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (7h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (8h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (9h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (9h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (9h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (9h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (9h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (9h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (9h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (9h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (9h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (11h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
