What Will The First Round Look Like In 2014?

[Jersey Dawg]

You guys are all forgetting several key players.... David Wilson, Victor Cruz, Eli Manning.... Pick them 1-3 and I'll have to settle to whomever falls to me at pick 4.

Nobody is mentioning Knowshon Moreno here. He was the #4 RB in 2013 and is still the featured back in the most explosive offense in the NFL. At age 27, Moreno is in his prime and with limited mileage under his tires. I don't see Ball being the featured back in the Denver offense next year.
Moreno might not be a round 1 candidate, but he is certainly a round 2 in my book. I don't see how you draft guys like Bush and Ellington over Moreno.

Moreno's a FA after the season. If the Broncos let him go (certainly possible, especially if Ball has a good postseason) I think his value takes a massive hit even if he landed somewhere else as a starter. I think his value is boosted significantly by being in a Peyton Manning-led offense.

Marshawn Lynch seems a little low on some of these lists.
What more does the guy need to do?
He has no competition for carries in Seattle, on a run first team with good coaching.

Shhhh.

[boutrous11]

i'd be hesitant to take Gordon in the first round, but if they hire McDaniels.... and get a qb..... is there a higher upside player overall?

I'm seeing Gio Bernard pretty high on these lists..I wouldn't trust him in 1st rd or early 2nd rd if Jay Gruden remains offensive coordinator. Even if Bernard looks great in preseason and we hear all the coachspeak koolaid...there's still good possibility he could be another CJ Spiller and if he gets even slightly dinged will go back to a timeshare...remember all the "running spiller until his wheels come off" hype...

Lynch has high mileage, is a violent style runner, and has two talented backups. I am wondering why Ray Rice isn't even listed here. He will be 27 and is a proven PPR RB with not much injury history. A healthy hip will be a big boost.

Maybe so but Fred Jackson is a much more talented player than BJG and lets remember Spiller was averaging 20 plus touches before he got dinged up. Spiller had the opportunity but Buffalos O-line didn't give him any room to run. Bernard is a different style of RB than Spiller. Bernard could be an elite receiving back and Spiller hasn't shown that.
