2014 NFL Draft Rookies CAPs

[bradtxmale]

I'm back, baby. Back after almost 8 years. I knew I'd be back someday.

Here, I will be posting CAPs for most of the selections from the 2014 NFL Draft. The draft will be aired on ESPN, ESPN2, and NFL Network on the weekend of May 8th. The players will be from the PlayStation 3 version. I will start with the QBs. I plan to start with Blake Bortles. Then I will do make one for Javedeon Clowney. Here is my list of the Top 15 Best Available CAPs. I'd also like to add that there's the player ratings are colored. Here is how the color system works.

The Player Ratings Color System
Red = a rating that is a concern.
Green = a rating that is an average rating. Its a rating that is considered average with that said position.
Black = a rating that is normal rating. Its a rating that is a mid range and needs to be improved in the NFL.
Bold Green = a rating that is above average. Its a rating that is considered exceptional for that position.
Blue = a rating or player that needs to be fine polished in the NFL.

My Top 15 Available Players Ranking
1. Javedeon Clowney, OVR: 83
2. Jake Matthews, OVR: 81
3. Greg Robinson, OVR: 79
