2014 NFL Mock Drafts
Every week, maybe every day, until draft day in early May, numerous mock drafts will be produced. Good discussion fodder for NFL geeks. Nothing wrong that.

- Mel Kiper predicts Johnny Manziel will be picked first by the Houston Texans or whoever moves up to number one. A few weeks ago, Mel rated Manziel has having an "adequate NFL arm." Last weekend in the divisional playoff round, the eight starting quarterbacks, I doubt their arms would be rated as "adequate." I don't see how an adequate arm can be worth a number one pick. Mel also said that Manziel's arm strength could be increased with better mechanics. I doubt it. Arm strength is natural born. Accuracy may be improved with mechanics.
