ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. had a surprise pick atop his first mock draft of the season back in January, and in his first revision with two months left until the 2018 NFL Draft, Kiper has a high-profile QB elevating into the top 10.

Kiper still projects Wyoming’s Josh Allen to go No. 1 to the Browns, but has Saquon Barkley moving up from fourth to second, and has Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield going to the Jets at No. 6.

In his first mock, Kiper projected Mayfield to go 13th to Washington, but the Redskins then traded for Alex Smith.

Mel Kiper on Saquon Barkley: “Barkley, in my opinion, is the consensus No. 1 player in this draft. So if you need a running back and you’re the New York Giants – and they do – why not take him? To me, you think about where the Giants are as an organization, you can go from where they are now… and you can get this team right back in that division.”

Kiper on Baker Mayfield: “When Barkley went to No. 2, some quarterback had to drop. It was either going to be Rosen, or Baker, who went to the Jets in that mock. Because there was nobody else between and Miami that needed a quarterback. I just went with the gut that Baker Mayfield with the Jets – it made sense. Broadway Baker and all that, he thrives on that environment.”
