2014 NFL Mock Draft: Pittsburgh Steelers select Kyle Fuller in final mock
By Matt Shetler
17. Baltimore Ravens
Player Name: Morgan Moses
Position, School: OT, Virginia
Even though Baltimore re-signed Eugene Monroe they lost Michael Oher and could use another tackle to protect Joe Flacco.
Moses is a prototypical left tackle who has the strength and long arms needed to hold the edge and protect Flacco’s blindside. He performed better at left tackle at Virginia than he did at right tackle, so the Ravens could be landing their left tackle of the future here.

18. New York Jets
Player Name: Odell Beckham Jr.
Position, School: WR, LSU
The Jets need a weapon for either Geno Smith or Michael Vick and they get a gift that Beckham is still on the board.
The LSU product is a productive target that could make either Jets quarterback and the New York offense a little more offense potent.
He is polished and has the speed to make plays after the catch and is one of the more sure-handed receivers in the draft.
19. Miami Dolphins
Player Name: Zack Martin
Position, School: OL, Notre Dame
The Dolphins need to upgrade on the offensive line and Martin is a good fit coming off an outstanding Senior Bowl. He has short arms but could be used at left tackle, but even if not he could be a stud guard for years.
20. Arizona Cardinals
Player Name: Blake Bortles
Position, School: QB, UCF
Bruce Arians’ Cardinals were a surprise last season and while they have some needs, they aren’t dire ones that they can’t target later in the draft.
They can afford to target their signal caller of the future here as they don’t have a good No. 2 behind Carson Palmer, who will turn 35 during the 2014 season.
Bortles could turn out to be a steal this late as the UCF product was once thought of as a potential No. 1 overall pick.
