Mayock has Mariota going to surprise team in only mock draft

Mike Mayock only does one mock draft, so he really tries to make it count. Mayock puts all of his analysis and inside information into the 32 picks that will air Wednesday night live on NFL Network at 8 ET in Mayock's 2015 Mock Draft special.

We don't know all of Mayock's picks, but our moles near the set have come up with a few nuggets we can share in advance of the show.

» Mayock has Marcus Mariota going No. 2 overall, but not to the Tennessee Titans. Instead, Mariota will be part of a blockbuster deal to a surprise team.

» Jameis Winston goes No. 1, as expected. (Even if Mayock believes Mariota is the best quarterback in this class.)

» Five wide receivers are taken in the first round, including perhaps the draft's biggest wild card.

» Pass rushers Shane Ray and Randy Gregory plummet, but one of them gets taken in Round 1.

» Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon are picked only two spots apart.

» Two offensive linemen are taken in the top 10.

» UConn cornerback Byron Jones is rewarded for his standout combine performance.

For the rest of Mayock's predictions, watch NFL Network live at 8 p.m. ET.
