2014 NFL draft

Here are four mock drafts

1. Houston:      Bortles       Clowney    Clowney   Clowney
2. St. Louis:     Robinson    Robinson   Watkins    Robinson
3. Jacksonville: Watkins      Mack        Manziel    Mack
4. Cleveland:    Bridgewater Matthews Carr        Watkins
5. Oakland:      Evans          Watkins    Robinson Evans
