Browns get Clemson's Da'Quan Bowers in Tony Grossi's latest mock draft.
TONY GROSSI'S MOCK DRAFT, 5.0
The impact of the quarterbacks on the Browns' No. 6 draft position is being felt.
At the NFL owners meetings this week, talk was that Carolina and Buffalo were jumping on the Cam Newton bandwagon. The latter, likely, would settle for Blaine Gabbert.
Now, that's bad news for Cincinnati, which would take either of the draft's top-rated quarterbacks. But it's good news for a team with no legitimate pass rusher on its roster, such as the Browns.
Our latest mock draft has Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers falling out of the No. 1 spot for the first time. In doing so, we broke our pledge to keep him there until his April 1 workout demonstrates if his right knee is still not right.
The Browns will be in full force at Bowers' workout. Then they will receive a copy of Bowers' medical re-check in Indianapolis on April 8.
If Bowers passes both tests, he probably will not drop to the Browns. But for now, he is our pick for them. That's why we have so many mock drafts.
(Previous projected picks in parentheses.)
1. Carolina -- Cam Newton, quarterback, Auburn (4)
Comment: Why not?
2. Denver -- Marcell Dareus, defensive tackle, Alabama (2)
Comment: John Elway hinted at a quarterback, too.
3. Buffalo -- Blaine Gabbert, quarterback, Missouri (5)
Comment: A Gabbert-Ryan Fitzpatrick tandem would be strong.
4. Cincinnati -- A.J. Green, receiver, Georgia (6)
Comment: There's some feeling they like Julio Jones better.
5. Arizona -- Von Miller, linebacker, Texas A&M (7)
Comment: Cards pick him for the fourth time in five mocks.
6. Browns -- Da'Quan Bowers, defensive end, Clemson (1)
Comment: Is he Courtney Brown or Julius Peppers? Either would help.
7. San Francisco -- Patrick Peterson, cornerback, LSU (8)
Comment: Peterson is a yo-yo in our mocks -- up, down, up.
8. Tennessee -- Nick Fairley, defensive tackle, Auburn (3)
Comment: Hard to dismiss the Auburn connection with new defensive line coach Tracy Rocker.
9. Dallas -- Prince Amukamara, cornerback, Nebraska (9)
Comment: Messing up this one would be a royal pain for Jerry Jones.
10. Washington -- Julio Jones, receiver, Alabama (10)
