May 1, 2012 - 11:55 AM ET

ESPN's Mel Kiper ranks USC QB Matt Barkley as the No. 1 player available for the 2013 NFL draft.

Barkley might have been in the mix for the Browns' pick at No. 4 had he declared for the draft as a junior. The rest of Kiper's top five is as follows: 2) Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas 3) LSU DE Barkevious Mingo 4) Georgia OLB Jarvis Jones, and 5) NC State CB David Amerson. Kiper did not include Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson, or Oklahoma QB Landry Jones among his initial top-five rankings.
