    While anybody can put together a mock of the 2014 NFL draft, few have the gravitas of ESPN's guru Mel Kiper Jr.

    Kiper is one of the biggest names in draft prognostication, and when each one of his mocks comes out, it's a big day for football fans.

    On Tuesday, he unveiled his fifth edition, which you can view onESPN.com (subscription required). Here's a look at each of the 32 picks.

    Mel Kiper Mock Draft 5.0 Pick Team Player

    1 Houston Texans Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina

    2 St. Louis Rams Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn

    3 Jacksonville Jaguars Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

    4 Cleveland Browns Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M

    5 Oakland Raiders Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo

    6 Atlanta Falcons Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan

    7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

    8 Minnesota Vikings Blake Bortles, QB, UCF

    9 Buffalo Bills Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M

    10 Detroit Lions Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

    11 Tennessee Titans Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State

    12 New York Giants Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh

    13 St. Louis Rams Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama

    14 Chicago Bears Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State

    15 Pittsburgh Steelers Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame

    16 Dallas Cowboys Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville

    17 Baltimore Ravens Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina

    18 New York Jets Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State

    19 Miami Dolphins C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama

    20 Arizona Cardinals Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State

    21 Green Bay Packers Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State

    22 Philadelphia Eagles Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

    23 Kansas City Chiefs Marqise Lee, WR, USC

    24 Cincinnati Bengals Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri

    25 San Diego Chargers Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA

    26 Cleveland Browns Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech

    27 New Orleans Saints Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana

    28 Carolina Panthers Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia

    29 New England Patriots Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota

    30 San Francisco 49ers Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt

    31 Denver Broncos Jason Verrett, CB, TCU

    32 Seattle Seahawks Stephon Tuitt, DT, Notre Dame

    Perhaps the most surprising first-round pick from Kiper was one he didn't make at all.

    Conspicuous by his absence was Louisville quarterback TeddyBridgewater. Bridgewater was also missing in Kiper's fourth mock draft (subscription required), which covered Rounds 1 and 2.

    In his last edition, the ESPN guru had the Cardinals QB going 33rd overall, so perhaps that's where he'd fall once again.

    Looking at those who did get into the first round, Kiper's top nine picks remained the same. The highlight of that top nine is Jadeveon Clowney going first overall. This isn't much of a surprise, as it's looked like for the past month or so that the Houston Texans would opt for the South Carolina star, despite whatever concerns some scouts might have that he's "spoiled" and "lazy."

    Lance Zierlein@LanceZierlein
    Looking more and more like Texans go with best player on their board (likely Clowney) and a QB later in the draft. Traits usually win out.

    Another notable pick is that, once again, Kiper predicts Blake Bortleswill go to the Minnesota Vikings, ahead of Bridgewater. A few months ago, this would have seemed crazy.

    I'd be running around the house happy if Kyle Fuller fell to 26 and the Browns were able to draft him.

    Most of that gravitas is generated by his hair...

    As difficult as it can be, I'll still listen to Mel, but IMO McShay schools him in nearly every segment I see...
