Here's a game you might want to play. Every year, someone unexpected goes high(ish) in round one and Mel Kiper gets to go nuts on the team that made the pick. My question: Who is it this year? Bonus question: Who makes the pick?
It could be that Todd Gurley goes top 10, but that's almost a cheat. (He's ranked lower due only to medical issues which some team may get comfortable with). So, for a true dark horse, I'll pick UCONN cornerback Byron Jones. Every mock puts him at the bottom of round one/top of round two, but he's got size, played well at both S and CB in college, and blew the doors off the combine. I'll say that the Dolphins pick him at 14.
