2015 NFL Mock Draft 2.0


1. Buccaneers- Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State

Josh: Winston feels like a lock to be drafted by the Buccaneers at this point. While there is still a chance the Bucs go in a different direction, it feels like they will draft Winston to be the face of their franchise.

2. Titans- Leonard Williams, DT, USC

Josh: Williams could very well be the best player in this draft. He could be a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 DE. The Titans would draft him to play DE and make their D-Line more formidable. Williams with Jurrell Casey would be a scary combo.

3. Jaguars- Dante Fowler, Jr,, OLB, Florida

Josh: Dante Fowler is my favorite player in this draft. I believe he is the best player in this draft as well. He is a relentless pass-rusher and will be an elite player in the NFL for years to come. The Jags cannot pass up the opportunity of drafting Fowler.

4. Raiders- Kevin White, WR, West Virginia

Josh: Kevin White is my #1 WR in this draft class. The Raiders are in desperate need of a new toy for QB Derek Carr.

5. Redskins- Randy Gregory, OLB, Nebraska

Josh: The Redskins will need to replace Brian Orakpo. Gregory is the perfect fit. He is an athletic freak that has all the tools to become an elite pass-rusher in the NFL.

6. Jets- Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

Josh: Mariota is my #1 QB in this draft class. I feel like he could honestly fall all the way to the Eagles if the Jets and Browns aren't interested in him. But I think they are. With that said, Todd Bowles will get his own QB here in order to move on from Geno Smith.

7. Bears- Shane Ray, DE, Missouri

Josh: The Bears need a lot of help in a lot of places. Ray will be a great pass-rusher for them for years to come.

8. Falcons- Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson

Josh: The Falcons have addressed the pass-rushing need they have through free agency, but they have yet to provide the team with a long-term option. If the Falcons are comfortable with their signings, expect them to go OL here.

9. Giants- La'el Collins, OL, LSU

Josh: Collins could play tackle or guard in the NFL. I project him as a tackle, so I think the Giants will take him here. They will also like his versatility.

10. Rams- Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama

Josh: The Tavon Austin expirement hasn't worked out yet, so the Rams will nab a potential pro bowl talent with their tenth pick. Cooper can play outside and be Nick Foles' #1 target this season and years to come.

11. Vikings- Brandon Scherff, G, Iowa

Josh: Scherff is probably the most polished O-Lineman in this draft. The Vikings need to protect Teddy Bridgewater going forward. Scherff is a great starting point.

12. Browns- DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville

Josh: Browns reportedly like Parker and are in need of a WR. No matter who the QB is for the Browns, they will need help. Parker would provide that help.

13. Saints- Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State

Josh: I am not a big fan of Waynes, but he feels like a good fit for the Saints. He seems like their type of player.

14. Dolphins- T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh

Josh: The Dolphins have needed OL help for years. Tannehill needs to be protected. Clemmings would slide in at RT and be a day 1 starter. Clemmings is athletic and fun to watch.

15. 49ers- Danny Shelton, NT, Washington

Josh: Shelton is very athletic for his freakish size. Justin Smith retired the 49ers will want someone to anchor the defense.

16. Texans- Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin

Josh: I am not sold on this selection. I just have a gut feeling that maybe the Texans want a security blanket for Foster this year, and then eventually move on from Foster in 2016.

17. Chargers- Malcom Brown, DT, Texas

Josh: The Chargers will want to bolster their defense in the draft. Brown is a great start. Brown doesn't get the hype that Shelton does or maybe even Armstead does, but he certainly can be good.

18. Chiefs- Landon Collins, SS, Alabama

Josh: With Parker leaving, the Chiefs will be looking for a replacement. The Maclin signing makes it seem that they won't go WR here.

19. Browns- Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford

Josh: I am not a big believer in Peat, but the Browns will want to continue to build around the QB position.

20. Eagles- Jake Fisher, OL, Oregon

Josh: With Collins off the board, the Eagles will draft Fisher to replace Todd Herremans. Fisher has played tackle and guard in college, so he is versatile. Chip Kelly loves Oregon players and Fisher is a perfect fit for Kelly's scheme.

21. Bengals- Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma

Josh: I wouldn't touch Green-Beckham. However, the Bengals have been known to take risks on players with off-field issues. I think with A.J. Green's recent injuries they will want someone who can step up when he's out, and compliment him when he is in. Green-Beckham would be the perfect fit for the Bengals.

22. Steelers- Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

Josh: The Steelers need help in the secondary. Badly. They reportedly inquired about Revis, so they seem ready to address the issue. Peters is the #1 corner on many people's draft boards.

23. Lions- Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State

Josh: The Lions will need to replace Suh and most likely Nick Fairley, too. Not an easy task. Eddie Goldman is a good start, though.

24. Cardinals- Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky

Josh: Cardinals will want to keep their defense young by drafting Dupree.

25. Panthers- D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida

Josh: The Panthers have to protect Cam Newton, especially with a big pay day looming. Humphries will be an instant upgrade to their OL.

26. Ravens- Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State

Josh: The Ravens will have to replace Torrey Smith. Strong will be a good option and will keep Joe Flacco happy.

27. Cowboys- Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia

Josh: Even if the Cowboys keep Murray, Gurley could be in play here. Murray has an injury history and is coming off of a season with a lot of touches. Gurley could be the future in Dallas.

28. Broncos- Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State

Josh: The Broncos will look for defensive help in what is most likely Peyton Manning's last season in the NFL.

29. Colts- Arik Armstead, DL, Oregon

Josh: Armstead is a massive prospect. Armstead would also help bolster the Colts' defense, especially against the run.

30. Packers- Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA

Josh: Kendricks is my favorite ILB in this draft. He would provide an immediate upgrade to the Packers' defense and would allow Clay Matthews to move back to OLB.

31. Saints- Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota

Josh: The Saints got this pick from the Seahawks in which they gave up Jimmy Graham, amongst other things. The Saints will use this pick to find their replacement.

32. Patriots- Jordan Phillips, NT, Oklahoma

Josh: The Patriots have moved on from Wilfork, and while they drafted Easley last year, Phillips would fit nicely into their rotation.
