Sporting News released a mock several hours ago.
http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/fee...ft-alabama-dt-marcell-dareus-moves-up-to-no-1
1. Carolina Panthers: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama
Although the Panthers consider taking an end, they have a much bigger need inside because they have young ends Everette Brown and Greg Hardy and could re-sign DE Charles Johnson. Nick Fairley is tempting, but questions about his maturity level contribute to Dareus’ rise to No. 1.
2. Denver Broncos: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
Denver has a lot of needs, but new coach John Fox remembers Julius Peppers’ impact on Carolina's defense and grabs Bowers, who has the talent to be as good a player as Peppers.
3. Buffalo Bills: Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
The Bills struggled greatly to pressure the quarterback in 2010, and Miller gives them an explosive edge rusher who can be productive as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 and as an end in a 4-3.
4. Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia
Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco may not return to the Bengals. If their passing offense is going to produce, it will need a big-play receiver such as Green.
5. Arizona Cardinals: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
After losing Kurt Warner to retirement, the Cardinals were terrible on offense last season. So they grab the strong-armed Gabbert, who has many of the necessary traits to become a very good NFL quarterback.
6. Cleveland Browns: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
With the Browns switching back to a 4-3 scheme, they need pass-rushing ends. Quinn is a very explosive, polished pass rusher who can start early in his career.
7. San Francisco 49ers: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
The 49ers, who would like to add a pass rusher or a quarterback in the first round, fall in love with Peterson's athleticism and overlook his lack of consistent production.
8. Tennessee Titans: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
The Titans’ defense has not been the same since losing Albert Haynesworth—and the explosive, super-athletic Fairley gives them the interior force they desperately needs.
9. Dallas Cowboys: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
The Cowboys need more playmakers in the secondary, and Prince gives them a tough, physical and athletic corner.
10. Washington Redskins: Jake Locker, QB, Washington
Despite concerns about Locker's accuracy, coach Mike Shanahan grabs the athletic, strong-armed QB with the belief he can solve his problems and turn him into a star.
11. Houston Texans: Jabaal Sheard, OLB, Pittsburgh
New defensive coordinator Wade Phillips needs edge pass rushers, and Sheard has the tools to be an impact pass rusher who can help the Texans’ defense make the transition to the 3-4.
12. Minnesota Vikings: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
New coach Leslie Frazier gambles that Newton will grow and develop into a Big Ben type of impact quarterback.
13. Detroit Lions: Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
The Lions’ offense isn’t going to take the next step if it can’t keep Stafford healthy. Castonzo is ready to step in and play left tackle as a rookie and could become special in time.
14. St. Louis Rams: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
Sam Bradford had a very good rookie season, but he needs some weapons to continue his development. Jones is an elite prospect.
15. Miami Dolphins: Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech
Ronnie Brown isn’t likely to return, and Williams brings the explosiveness, vision, instincts and natural run skills to be a dynamic back in the NFL.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
The Jaguars have struggled to find a playmaking cornerback, and Smith has the height, long arms and man coverage skills tp be a great fit in the team’s scheme.
