2015 NFL Mock Draft: Latest First Round Predictions With Trades

TRADE — Chargers traded their 1st and 3rd round pick in 2015 and a 5th round pick in 2016 for the Vikings’ 1st round pick — The Chargers get a beast nose tackle prospect in Danny Shelton who can cause tons of matchup problems for opposing offensive lines. He dominated at the Senior Bowl and cemented his status as a top 15 selection.. Defensive Tackle. Washington. Danny Shelton. 11. player. 13

player. 53. Joe: With the latest Josh Gordon news, Cleveland has to focus on adding weapons for whoever steps foot under center next year. White is a freaky athlete who can make plays with both his size and speed.. Wide Receiver. West Virginia. Kevin White. 12

57. Erik: The Bears only have six picks. They need more. So I elected to trade down, feeling a good player could still fall into my lap if I didn’t stray too far. Safe to say that proved true. Landon Collins is easily the best safety in the 2015 draft, capable of playing either strong or free safety with good instincts for both. Emerged as a leader in 2014 and played hurt, proving his toughness.. Safety. Alabama. Landon Collins. 13. player

59. Joe: How can you not love this fit? Williams is the best in this class (probably the most underrated, too), and the Dolphins must find a tight end that Ryan Tannehill can be best friends with. This is the perfect fit.. Tight end. Minnesota. Maxx Williams. 14. player

15. player. 42. Erik: San Francisco needs to get serious about making Colin Kaepernick as good as he can possibly be. Michael Crabtree could be gone. Anquan Boldin is getting old and Stevie Johnson wasn’t much of an answer last season. They need a serious wide receiving threat for their quarterback. DeVante Parker not only brings good size (6’3″) and hands but also a deceptive amount of speed that allows him to get vertical down the field.. Wide Receiver. Louisville. DeVante Parker

player. 10. Chris: The Texans don’t have a dominating presence at cornerback, and Waynes is far and above the corners in this year’s class. Waynes will be able to step in immediately and be a factor defensively in a secondary that features a rising star in DJ Swearinger.. Cornerback. Michigan State. Trae Waynes. 16

La'El Collins. 17. player. 60. Erik: Rick Spielman has a reputation for trading down from his picks and I guess I fulfilled that requirement. Besides, the pickings weren’t very good at #11. By moving back I got some draft currency for later and also scooped up a perfect solution to the offensive line problems for Minnesota. La’El Collins is an accomplished blocker with excellent power and technique. He is experienced at tackle but is able to kick inside to guard.. Offensive Tackle. LSU

Flowers won’t likely fall this far on draft weekend, but the Chiefs wouldn’t mind. Eric Fisher hasn’t been great as a former number one pick but putting Flowers at LT and Fisher at RT might be a nice combo for the future in KC.. Offensive Tackle. Miami (Fla.). Ereck Flowers. 18. player. 124

Carl Davis. 19. player. 53. Erik: Cleveland struggled all year at stopping the run and it really killed them in critical situations. They have to improve the middle of their defense from the front back. Carl Davis would make an excellent start. Under-the-radar most of the year, he showed at the Senior Bowl how good he is by being around the ball regularly and making plays in the backfield. He’s large, quick, strong and has great length. No question he could fit at either defensive end or nose tackle.. Defensive Tackle. Iowa

player. 54. Tyler: Eagles have such a glaring need at cornerback. Peters is arguably the most talented corner in this draft. Peters does carry off the field issues after being dismissed from Washington. The Eagles need to look past that and draft Peters who would be going higher if not for the red flags.. Cornerback. Washington. Marcus Peters. 20
