Rick Gosselin's Final Mock Draft: Nothing New For Browns, But Full of Surprises

Stay connected for news and updates

We always look forward to Rick Gosselin's final mock draft due to the accuracy he has had in the past. While his first six picks seem pretty standard with what others have been projecting, there are plenty of surprises later in his mock, including the fact that he has five quarterbacks being taken within the first twelve picks! Like Kiper, he thinks wide receiver Julio Jones will go to the Browns:

The Browns need a lead receiver to accelerate the development of QB Colt McCoy. Voila — Jones was a walk-in starter at Alabama, and he’ll be a walk-in starter at Cleveland. He averaged almost 15 yards per career catch. (Team needs: WR, CB, OT, DE)

When it comes to the quarterbacks, he has the following being drafted in round one:

Also falling on his list are Nick Fairley (No. 13 to the Detroit Lions) and Robert Quinn (No. 20 to Tampa Bay).
