Best and Worst Picks of the 2014 NFL Draft
By jonfox
Jeremy Hill, RB Cincinnati. Hill went to a great situation in Cincinnati. He isn’t asked to carry all the load with Gio Bernard on the team. The Bengals have had a good offensive line in front of him and a quality passing game so he wouldn’t face 8 in the box.
He’s been productive and relatively consistent. There’s not much more a team can ask for from a mid 2nd round pick. A real solid pick here for the Bengals as part of a good 2014 NFL Draft class.
Teddy Bridgewater, Qb Minnesota. This author is higher on Bridgewater than most, he could still be a Troy Aikman like passer and any NFL team would take someone like that. That said, Bradford’s success despite missing Peterson, Kalil, etc knocks Bridgewater down this list. He still represents good value for the 31st pick in this draft. And he’s going to be successful either when he returns in Minnesota or somewhere else if the Vikings decide to stick with Bradford.
Weston Richberg, OL New York Giants. He’s one of the best centers in the league and the Giants stole him on Day 2. He’s missed 2 starts since they drafted him and probably won’t miss much time unless injured or old age sets in. Just a great pick and great value for Big Blue here.
