A breakdown of the 2014 NFL Draft class which includes some of the best and work picks.

By no means is this list one that assesses the “best value” or “best overall.” It lays somewhere in-between: value matters as does sheer quality. Here’s a breakdown of some of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Aaron Donald, DL St Louis. Far and away, Aaron Donald is the best pick from this draft. This author once mocked him going to the Rams with the #2 overall pick. And even with hindsight, that wouldn’t have been a reach for him. Donald has been one of the top 10 defensive linemen in the league since being picked so the Rams can be happy that they at least got this part of the draft right.

Odell Beckham Jr, WR New York Giants. This is a no-brainer. For all his drama and whining, Beckham is one of the most devastating wideouts in the game today. In fact, there’s a logical case that he’s the best in the game today. It’s truly amazing(and Watkins/Evans are fine players) that he was the third wideout taken in this draft.

Zach Martin, OL Dallas. In this stage of the Jerry Jones’ era in Dallas, his franchise still gets a lot of guff regarding their draft picks. However Martin appears to be the latest in stone cold hits for the Boys. Martin is a mean, nasty technician of a guard and immediately made their line credible. The boys got a lot of bad grades for this pick, but they have had the last laugh.
