My first simulator. It caught me off guard because Carr and Bortles were taken but Manziel and Teddy were still available. Bortles got the #1 pick. Carr #4

Its interesting how Jackson Jeffcoat and Aaron Murray are available on almost every simulation.

This wouldn't be a bad draft. I found the scat back that Norv Turner likes in his offense.

Ok, so, the simulator was updated yesterday. Here is my mock draft following the update:

8th - Teddy Bridgewater

40th - Marquise Lee

72nd - Kyle Fuller - CB - Virginia Tech

96th - Dominque Easley - DT - Florida

104th - Jackson Jeffcoat - DE - Texas

136th - Taylor Hart - DE - Oregon

168th - Tajh Boyd - QB - Clemson

200th - Henry Josey - HB - Missouri

Notes: Johnny Manziel went first overall... Teddy Bridgewater was easily the best choice on the board at 8... Marquise Lee fell into round 2, and despite both Re'Sheed and Ha-Ha Clinton Dix being on the board, Lee was just too talented to pass up... I didn't expect Kyle Fuller to fall to the 3rd round - I didn't even hesitate... I picked both Jackson Jeffcoat and Taylor Hart for depth/potential starting material in the future... Boyd again falls to the 6th round, which I don't expect to happen at all... Henry Josey averaged almost 6.0 yards a carry for Missouri this past year, he would be an explosive complement to Adrian when he is tired.

I would take that draft in a heart beat but I would prefer Ha-Ha Clinton Dicks (wasn't he our president that did not have sex with that women) over Marquise. Other than that :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I don't see how this simulator was "updated" at all. The rankings are the same, the patterns in picks are the same. I haven't noticed a single difference

This is what I was able to find:
Fanspeak's 2014 NFL Mock Draft Simulator, On the Clock, is updated with the latest Big Board, Player Rankings and Team Needs. Some of the updates include:

Khalil Mack (OLB, Buffalo) has moved up to be the highest-rated outside linebacker
Taylor Lewan (OT, Michigan) has cracked the Top Fifteen on the Big Board
Dee Ford (OLB, Auburn) is now in the Top Twenty players in the Big Board
And much more!
