Six weeks remain in the 2014 NFL season, and for fans of many teams, the offseason is already more promising than the season finale.

The NFL offseason is about selling hopes and dreams to the fans, and no single event does that better than the NFL draft. With 256 draft picks and hundreds of undrafted free agents flooding the league in late April and early May, every team has a legitimate chance to build a winner if they hit on their picks.

Look at the dynasties built by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s, the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980s and the New England Patriots of the 2000s and you'll see clear evidence that building through the draft is the best bet. And in today's salary-cap era, adding cost-effective labor is an even bigger plus.

How will each team attack the offseason? That remains to be seen as coaching changes, retirements and free agency will reshape each roster. What this mock draft attempts to capture is each team's biggest need and which college player best fits that need and draft slot at this time.

Note: Draft order based on current win/loss records and not adjusted for playoff seedings.
