There's just one month to go in the NFL season, but for teams like the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants, it's been draft season for quite some time.

A mock draft at this time of year is a good way to learn the names of the top prospects in the nation, start to identify the needs of each club and get a look at how those needs and values match up. Of course, firings, hirings and free agency will change things, but this mock draft is an introduction to how the draft landscape looks right now.

Where will the top quarterbacks go? How many running backs can make their way into the first round? Those are the questions that are gaining clarity as the end of the season approaches.
