2015 NFL Mock Draft 3.0

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Jameis Winston-Quarterback-Florida State

It will be very hard for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to mess this one up.

2. Tennessee Titans-Marcus Mariota-Quarterback-Oregon

Apparently the Cleveland Browns are trying move up to this spot, but unless the Tennessee Titans are blown away with an offer here, I doubt that they’ll budge.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars-Leonard Williams-Defensive Tackle-USC

The Jacksonville Jaguars can go in several different directions with this pick, but Leonard Williams is too talented for them to pass on.

4. Oakland Raiders-Amari Cooper-Wide Receiver-Alabama

This pick for the Oakland Raiders will be a wide receiver. It’s just a matter of whether or not that it will be Amari Cooper or Kevin White.

5. Washington Redskins-Trae Waynes-Cornerback-Michigan State

I will stick by what I have said leading up to the National Football League Draft and is that the Washington Redskins have a huge need in their secondary.

6. New York Jets-Dante Fowler Jr.-Outside Linebacker-Florida

If the New York Jets select Dante Fowler Jr., they will have their most versatile edge rusher in a very long time.

7. Chicago Bears-Kevin White-Wide Receiver-West Virginia

The folks in Chicago will approve of this selection as soon as it is announced.

8. Atlanta Falcons-Alvin Dupree-Defensive End/Outside Linebacker-Kentucky

The Atlanta Falcons are in a good spot here as with all of their needs on the defensive side of the football they can fulfill at huge one with this choice.

9. New York Giants-Vic Beasley-Outside Linebacker-Clemson

The New York Giants could beef up their offensive line with Brandon Scherff, but they also have a need for more pass rushers on the defensive side of the football.

10. St. Louis Rams-Brandon Scherff-Offensive Tackle-Iowa

Under head coach Jeff Fisher, the St. Louis Rams have been one of the more physical teams in the NFL and they’ll add to it with another big body on the offensive line.

11. Minnesota Vikings-DeVante Parker-Wide Receiver-Louisville

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw the football to DeVante Parker in college and it makes sense for them to reunite in the National Football League.

12. Cleveland Browns-Breshad Perriman-Wide Receiver-Central Florida

With Josh Gordon suspended for the upcoming NFL season, it makes total sense for the Cleveland Browns to draft his replacement at wide receiver.

13. New Orleans Saints-Shane Ray-Defensive End/Outside Linebacker-Missouri

The New Orleans Saints have been lacking a dominant edge rusher for their 3-4 defensive scheme and Shane Ray is a player that simply wreaks havoc.

14. Miami Dolphins-Kevin Johnson-Cornerback-Wake Forest

If the Miami Dolphins are going to entertain any thoughts of winning the AFC East in 2015, they need build a defense that can combat the New England Patriots and their cornerback Tom Brady.

15. San Francisco 49ers- Byron Jones-Cornerback-Connecticut

If Kevin Johnson is available, I see the San Francisco 49ers selecting him. And if Johnson is gone, Byron Jones wouldn’t be a bad choice for the Niners.

16. Houston Texans-Ereck Flowers-Offensive Tackle-Miami

Ereck Flowers is a big body that plays a little angry which is something that Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien covets.

17. San Diego Chargers-Melvin Gordon-Running Back-Wisconsin

The San Diego Chargers are still searching for that feature running back since LaDanian Tomlinson left town in 2010.

18. Kansas City Chiefs-Dorial Green-Beckham-Wide Receiver-Oklahoma

Character issues are the only thing that will hold Dorial Green-Beckham back from being selected earlier.

19. Cleveland Browns-Andrus Peat-Offensive Tackle-Stanford

If the Cleveland Browns decide to keep this pick, Andrus Peat would give them a bookend offensive tackle to play opposite of Joe Thomas.

20. Philadelphia Eagles-Landon Collins-Strong Safety-Alabama

The Philadelphia Eagles can go in several directions here, but their secondary is in need of an intimidator like Landon Collins.

21. Cincinnati Bengals-Randy Gregory-Defensive End-Nebraska

A positive test for marijuana won’t scare the Cincinnati Bengals off from drafting Randy Gregory.

22. Pittsburgh Steelers-Danny Shelton-Defensive Tackle-Washington

If Danny Shelton falls this far in the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be getting a huge bargain here and he would fill a huge void on the defensive line.

23. Detroit Lions-Todd Gurley-Running Back-Georgia

If the Detroit Lions decide to select running back Todd Gurley, it would be a high-risk, high-reward choice, but they must roll the dice.

24. Arizona Cardinals-Malcolm Brown-Defensive Tackle-Texas

After losing defensive tackle Darnell Dockett in free agency, the Arizona Cardinals are in need to beef up their defensive line.

25. Carolina Panthers-Jaelen Strong-Wide Reciever-Arizona State

If Todd Gurley is available here, the Carolina Panthers will jump on him. But if Gurley is gone, the Panthers will give quarterback Cam Newton another option to throw to in the passing game.

26. Baltimore Ravens-La’el Collins-Offensive Tackle-LSU

The fact the La’el Collins is currently being questioned in a murder case will scare some teams off and he could slip out of the first round altogether.

27. Dallas Cowboys-Owamagbe Odighizuwa-Defensive End-UCLA

If the Dallas Cowboys want to entertain any serious thoughts of winning the Super Bowl this season, they need to improve their pass rush.

28. Denver Broncos-Jake Fisher-Offensive Tackle-Oregon

This season could be it for Denver Broncos starting quarterback Peyton Manning and if it is, the Broncos must do everything to protect him and keep the future Pro Football Hall of Famer healthy.

29. Indianapolis Colts-Eddie Goldman-Defensive Tackle-Oklahoma

It is tough to have a solid 3-4 defense without a stout big nasty playing nose tackle like Eddie Goldman.

30. Green Bay Packers-Eric Kendricks-Inside Linebacker-UCLA

Due to injuries last season, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews was forced to play inside which took away from his effectiveness. The Packers also let inside linebacker A.J. Hawk leave in free agency and Eric Kendricks will give them more athleticism inside.

31. New Orelans Saints-Phillip Dorsett-Wide Receiver-Miami

Just like the New Orleans Saints have been lacking a solid pass rusher, they are also in need of more play makers on the offensive side of the football for quarterback Drew Brees.

32. New England Patriots-Eric Rowe-Cornerback-Utah

There will be more talented cornerbacks than Eric Rowe available here for the New England Patriots to choose from. But their character issues will scare the Patriots off and head coach Bill Belichick knows a thing or two about turning guys into solid pros.
