NFL Draft: Re-drafting the star-studded 2014 NFL Draft
By Cory Kinnan
player. 31. . LB. Alabama Crimson Tide. C.J. Mosley. 12
Original Pick: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU Tigers
Odell Beckham Jr. may have been the steal of the entire draft, as he fell to the No. 12 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the New York Giants. However, here in this re-draft, he went No. 4 overall to the Buffalo Bills, leaving the Giants in need of reassessment.
The Giants’ linebacking corps has been in shambles for a few years now. In this scenario, the problem is stopped before it becomes unbearable by selecting C.J. Mosley out of the University of Alabama. This helps to cover up the loss of missing out on Beckham in this re-draft.
Originally picked by the Baltimore Ravens, Mosley just signed with the New York Jets as a free agent and is now looking to play in New York in 2019. Here in this 2014 NFL Re-draft, Mosley plays in the Big Apple from day one of his NFL career.
Mosley has started in the middle of the Ravens defense since he first step foot in Baltimore, and has made four Pro Bowls in five seasons. He has tallied nine career interceptions and forced six fumbles.
Mosley has knocked down an average of seven passes per year, displaying his tendency as a ball hawk. He has also recorded 8.5 sacks and 43 tackles behind the line of scrimmage in his the first five years of his NFL career with Baltimore.
