NFL Draft 2014: The Armchair GM Championship

I give you the third annual Armchair GM Championship. In a nutshell, the challenge is to predict Seattle's draft picks. Rank the twenty prospects most likely to be selected by Seattle in the order you feel is likeliest. If your top player is picked then you score 30 points. If your second player is picked - 29 points. Third player - 28 points, etc. Your final ranked player will be worth 11 points. Whoever accumulates the most points is the winner.

Rules

-- Submit a list of 20 players eligible for the 2014 NFL draft.

-- Score points by predicting Seattle's draft picks.

-- Whoever accumulates the most points by the end of the draft is the winner.

Tie Breaking (2 tiers)

Who predicted the most picks.
Who scored highest for the lowest round (because lower rounds are more difficult to predict).

Simply post your list in the comments section below and you'll give yourself a chance to become a champion draft nerd. As both an example list and a celebration of draft prediction greatness, let's check out Nate Dogg's winning list from last year.
