The latest NFL Mock Draft Consensus reflects some of the standout performances last week in Mobile, Alabama.

North Dakota State offensive lineman Grey Zabel is now viewed as a late first-round selection. Marshall edge rusher Mike Green, whose bulldozing of Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr. went viral, cemented his place among the first 32 picks.
