Kiper's top 5s: juniors/rising juniors

Once I begin putting together mock drafts, the juniors list becomes a list of current and rising juniors -- and is made up of players who are not in the pool for the April NFL draft. Instead, you can think of it as a very early road map for the 2011 NFL draft.

Things will change greatly in the summer and fall, of course, but guys like Ryan Mallett, DeAndre McDaniel, Marvin Austin and Terrance Toliver will be names to know and watch for.

You can find my first mock draft here and my updated Big Board here, also.
