Arrelious Benn has first-round expectations

"Yeah, I feel I will end up going in the first round," Benn said on Wednesday. "I have a lot of confidence in myself. I put myself in a position to do it. The team has the say so. It's out of my control. I hope for the best."

Kiper and McShay believe it's more likely that Benn, a 6-foot-1, 219-pound wide receiver, will be selected in the second round on Friday. Benn is ranked the 36th overall prospect and the third wide receiver in the draft, according to ESPN Scouts Inc.
