Seems like most mocks have pretty much the same 15-20 players (Joeckel, Fisher, Floyd, Millner, Jordan, Lotulelei, Warmack, Ansah, Lane Johnson, Geno Smith, Jarvis Jones, Kenny Vaccaro, Bjoern Warner, Cooper, Patterson, Richardson, etc) in their mocks but do you think there might be some players (Woods, Warford, Hunt, Hopkins, Hunter, Brown, Nassib, etc) who will surprise the experts and sneak into the top 10-15 picks on a draft Day?
 
I have a feeling one or possibly both of the corners (Desmond trufant and Xavier Rhodes) will sneak into the top 15.
 
I'll second CB Xavier Rhodes. He looks prime to go to Carolina Panthers but they may be looking at WR or DT w/ their 1st rd pick.

This would be my guess.

Good topic; someone always surprises in the top 15.
 
Because everyone in the first round seems to be so evenly rated I think this draft will have A LOT of surprises. I don't think anyone knows who will do what with which pick. There's just too many unpredictable things that could happen in this draft.

In addition, this draft could have a huge number if trades. For instance you have a team like San Francisco with like 53 draft choices who believe they are only a player or two away. They need a safety and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they jump above the Rams (another team with an obvious safety need) by trading several of their picks to get Vaccaro. Also MN has two first round picks and needs a replacement for Percy Harvin (which Austin just sitting there). I can see a scenario where they trade up ahead of the Rams to get him.
 
Lane Johnson to the Lions. He's a 10-15 guy, but might go top 5. Kinda of a surprise.

EJ Manuel to a team like the Jets.
 
Too bad Al Davis is gone. His draft picks were classic "WTF" sometimes. Who knows who he would have picked.

That would not be a surprise to me AT ALL,I would be amazed if he doesn't go top 15.

I think he and Geno go top 15 w/o question IMO the third Qb to go top 15 will be the surprise guy.

With Kolb, Smith, and perhaps Flynn and Palmer going to QB needy teams I don't know if 3 happens.

Fitzpatrick is still out there too, I think.

Let's hope Palmer and Flynn go elsewhere.
