Listed after the jump are a couple of results from recent mock drafts. I still don't understand how their can be so many "versions" of a mock draft, but this week SB Nation has the Browns taking DT Marcell Dareus. I'm beginning to each candidate for the Browns will be listed in a different mock draft, just so the claim can be made that it was right at some point.
Here are the top ten picks from three mock drafts:
| Mike Lombardi | Sam Wyche | SB Nation | |
| 1.) CAR | Gabbert | Gabbert | C. Newton |
| 2.) DEN | Quinn | Bowers | Peterson |
| 3.) BUF | Bowers | M. Dareus | Bowers |
| 4.) CIN | Cam Newton | N. Fairley | Gabbert |
| 5.) ARI | Peterson | Von Miller | Von Miller |
| 6.) CLE | AJ Green | AJ Green | M. Dareus |
| 7.) SF | Von Miller | Peterson | AJ Green |
| 8.) TEN | Fairley | Quinn | Fairley |
| 9.) DAL | M. Dareus | A. Castonzo | Amukamara |
| 10.) WAS | A. Smith | A. Smith | J.J. Watt |
And here is why Brian Galliford from SB Nation has the Browns going with Dareus:
6. Cleveland Browns: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama. Moving back to the 4-3 under defensive coordinator Dick Jauron, the Browns need to re-tool their defensive front seven. They could certainly take a pass rusher to begin that process, but after a strong Combine showing, Dareus might be too good to pass up here.
