Mike Mayock just declared his top 32 players from this draft.Not a mock but this is what he feels are the top 16 players from this draft.
Go to the link for a video of his explanation of the top sixteen and there you can find the remainder of his top 32 list but here's his top sixteen players from this draft.
LINK Mayock's top 16
======================================
1. Marcell Dareus*, DT, Alabama
This is my favorite player in the country this year. He has tremendous foot speed for a player his size. He can play the nose, the three-technique and showed he can play the five-technique. From my perspective, I don't think he can possibly get past Denver at No. 2.
2.
Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
He's a special guy off the edge and reminds me an awful lot of DeMarcus Ware that way. However, he's not as big, so therefore won't generate quite as much power.
3.
Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
A lot of people think he might be the best player in this draft, and he might be. He has the return skills of a man 40 pounds smaller than he is. He has the ability to move, to press, to play off. He's a little tight in the hips, but I don't care. He's a great football player.
4.
A.J. Green*, WR, Georgia
Oh my goodness. If you have any questions about this kid, after being suspended the first four games last season, he came out in week five against two future NFL cornerbacks against Colorado and had seven catches for more than 100 yards. That includes one of the best back-of-shoulder catches I've ever seen in my life.
5.
Blaine Gabbert*, QB, Missouri
He's my No. 1 quarterback. He comes out of a spread offense, and his footwork needs to improve, but he has all the rest. He's athletic, has a big arm, loves the game of football, has anticipation to throw into small windows, and the accuracy to back it up. He could be the first guy off the board.
6. Rober
t Quinn*, DE, North Carolina
He's a one-year wonder because of his NCAA suspension. I think from an edge-rush perspective, he might be the best guy in the draft.
7.
Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
He's a warrior. He ran 4.39 at the combine, but on tape I think he plays more like a 4.5 guy. That's what I think he plays at, and that's fine. His throwing radius, ability to run and ability to catch are phenomenal.
8.
Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
To me he's a lightning rod. I was at his pro day workout, and from a foot-speed perspective, it doesn't get much better than what he can do. He ran through the bag drills, and it was ridiculous. However, he's a boom-or-bust guy. Right now, I have him here, but he's got more talent than that. Depending on what type of kid he is, I could have him dropping out of the first round entirely.
9.
Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
This kid is a gifted cornerback who can play press and can play off. Watch the game tape against Oklahoma State and Justin Blackmon, maybe the best one or two receivers in college last season, because there are some misnomers. The kid played a lot better than people give him credit for.
10.
Da'Quan Bowers*, DE, Clemson
I boxed him in here for a reason. He has more ability than No. 10, but he's a one-year wonder. He had 15.5 sacks last season, and the two years before that he only had four combined. I want to know why.
11.
Anthony Castonzo, OL, Boston College
I really believe he or (Tyron) Smith are the first tackle off the board. He's a tough guy in the run game, he has great feet as a former tight end. I love his upside, and he had a great week of Senior Bowl practice, although he didn't play quite as well in the game.
12.
J.J. Watt*, DE, Wisconsin
I believe this kid is the real deal. He's another prototype of a five-technique, a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme. If you don't like him, put the TCU game tape on. The numbers weren't big, but the kid dominated.
13.
Tyron Smith*, OT, USC
He played on the right side and came out as a junior, and has the most potential of any tackle in the draft.
14.
Aldon Smith*, DE, Missouri
This young man has so much potential, it's scary. Put the 2009 game tape on against Russell Okung and Danny Watkins and you'll get a better view of what he can do. He played through a lot of pain last season.
15.
Cameron Jordan, DE, California
He brings scheme-versatility. I think he's an ideal defensive end in a 3-4, but can kick inside and overwhelm guards too. He can even play out on the edge.
16.
Mark Ingram*, RB, Alabama
This is one of the angriest runners I've ever seen. He's a three-down back. This is a kid who can play 16 games and want to play more. He can pass protect, catch the football, and has tremendous balance and vision.
======================================
Can't say I agree with you that Cleveland would consider trading up for anyone in this draft, as a matter of fact they are in prime position to trade down if one of the top-two QBs fall to the sixth pick. A.J. Green will most likely still be on the board till the tenth pick of the first round. Also the Browns are switching to a 4-3 defense and lack two pass rushing 4-3 DEs and a true 3 technique 4-3 DT.
With Bowers and Quinn and Fairley and Dareus and then consider Peterson and Miller before bringing up A.J. Green means that they are assured of getting one of the best players from this draft and/or filling a big need and D-Line may eclipse WR as the biggest need for the Browns considering that they have two young WRs in Brian Robiskie and Mohammad Massaquoi who have been under-utilized and in a run-heavy offense which didn't suit their skill set or give them the opportunity to showcase what they can do.
Green would fit but so would, Bowers or Quinn or Dareus or Fairley and if a QB falls they could trade down and still land a WR or D-lineman.
Here's Tony Grossi's article from this morning giving a pretty good scenario of how the first round might go.
LINK Browns could trade down if QB falls to their pick
... Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert figure to have the biggest impact on the Browns' pick at No. 6.
... Newton and Gabbert will dictate the flow of players in the top 10 picks.
"If the two quarterbacks go in the top five picks, somebody [worthy of No. 1] is going to be available as low as eighth," said ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. "Right now, you have eight or nine guys that are worthy of being the first pick."
Besides the quarterbacks, the contenders are: LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson, Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green, Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, Alabama defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley.
Let's ponder a few scenarios:
• If Newton and Gabbert both are drafted in the top five -- Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Arizona certainly could justify taking a quarterback -- it should leave the Browns at least one of the three linemen.
• If Cincinnati, in particular, takes either one of the quarterbacks at No. 4, it probably would assure Green available at No. 6. The Bengals are the only team above the Browns pegged as a possible suitor for Green.
• If one of the quarterbacks is still on the board at No. 6, the Browns likely would be able to entertain trade offers from one or more of the teams immediately behind them. Those teams would be San Francisco at No. 7, Tennessee at No. 8, Washington at No. 10 and Minnesota at No. 12.
... Moving down -- even two spots to No. 8 -- could cost the Browns a defensive lineman. But they might still have Green waiting for them because San Francisco at No. 7 is not considered in the market for a receiver.
If Gabbert would slide he would be a Titan. I don;t think they would take Newton.
