The crew of NFL Mocks is back, bringing you our staff 2015 NFL Mock Draft 2.0 where we play the GMs. All seven of our writers took command to draft the names at the top, including Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota (who are throwing at the NFL Scouting Combine, if you haven’t heard.
Let’s get right into it! Join our staff for a full first-round mock draft below.
QB. Florida State. Jameis Winston. 1. player. 48. Sayre: This isn’t an easy pick for me to make because I don’t know if either QB is worth a top pick in the draft, but Winston is certainly the more pro-ready of the two in terms of skill set, and he’s going to be embraced locally. The Bucs are probably going to fall in love with him in meetings too, despite his checkered past off the field. Ultimately, his desire to be a great NFL quarterback will determine the kind of success he has on the field. He has huge potential, but he has to want to reach it.
QB. Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 2. player. 35. Charles: The Titans need a franchise quarterback. Zach Mettenberger played average during his first year in the league, but as a 6th round pick he is expendable. Marcus Mariota brings immense upside that the Titans can’t turn down.
52. Erik: Williams is ranked by most as the best prospect in the entire 2015 class. He is a game-changer on the defensive front, something the Jaguars could make great use of.. DL. USC. Leonard Williams. 3. player
player. 28. Joe: I just recently put Kevin White as my number one guy, so this pick may have been different. However, Cooper at 4 seems to be a popular pick with many, and I can see it happening. He isn’t top-five talent, but positional need might take over with this one.. WR. Alabama. Amari Cooper. 4
