The 2014 Mock Draft Season is over, and the backlash this year has been worse than ever with the draft being pushed back two extra weeks. Mock draft fatigue set in, and it was time to get to the real thing. We gave everyone at Hogs Haven one last chance to show their ability to simulate the brain patterns of Bruce Allen, Scott Campbell, Morrocco Brown, and Jay Gruden and correctly predict who the Redskins would pick this year. The results were mixed, and there has only been one reported mental breakdown.
Out of the 68 eligible entries this year, only 7 people were able to correctly predict one person that the Redskins drafted. No one was able to pick the correct player in the correct round to earn the highest point total. Five people picked Morgan Moses to be the Redskins 2nd Round selection, and two people picked Bashaud Breeland in the 3rd Round, each a round before they were actually selected. Picking at least one correct player makes you a frontrunner for the contest, but does it guarantee victory? Predicting the positions the Redskins will take is just as important as who the Redskins select. Here is a list of the top 8 entrants:

The Winner(s):
1st place:
The winner of the 2014 Hogs Haven Mock Draft Contest is xxrdotxx, and he did not correctly predict 1 player that the Redskins picked. What he did to win the contest was pick the correct positions that were drafted in Rounds 2-6. This gave him 6 points in each of the first 5 rounds for a total of 30 points which was enough to win.
2nd place:
2nd place went to willster who picked Morgan Moses in the 2nd round, and correctly predicted the Redskins would draft a RB in the 6th and a TE in the 7th. His final point total was 25.
3rd place:
There was a tie for 3rd place between ghost rider and RG3.4.MVP so we had to go to the tiebreaker. There were 27 trades during this years draft, including two player trades. Ghost Rider predicted 34 and RG3.4.MVP went with 18. Ghost Rider's prediction was slightly closer, which gives him 3rd place this year with a point total of 24.
The Prizes:
Managing Editor-in-Chief Ken Meringolo had to reach deep into the Hogs Haven vault to pull out two vintage T-Shirts that some of you may remember. I still haven't got an answer back from Ken about how "game worn" they are, but just ignore any random stains.
