This latest 2015 NFL mock draft won’t lack for drama. A number of players figure to garner lots of attention early on, which is often the recipe for trades. Will anybody move up? Here is the latest breakdowns.
1. Philadelphia Eagles (via Tampa Bay)
54. Safe to say a lot of Philadelphia Eagles fans won’t like this move, feeling it isn’t worth the price. Still, the reality is winning as a champion rests on the quarterback. Marcus Mariota is the absolute ideal fit for the Chip Kelly offense. All the Eagles need now is to build a reasonable defense and this team is ready to contend moving forward.. Quarterback. Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 1. player
2. Tennessee Titans
player. 35. Is Ken Whisenhunt willing to mortgage what is likely is last head coaching opportunity on Jameis Winston? Doubtful. Better to give his defense a potential superstar in Leonard Williams who will make a great wingman to Jurrell Casey up front.. Defensive Tackle. Southern California. Leonard Williams. 2
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Vic Beasley. 3. player. 52. Few did themselves more favors than Vic Beasley at the scouting combine. He knocked every drill out of the park. Put that with solid tape and production and he has the look of a big riser on the board. The Jacksonville Jaguars confirm that when they add him to their pass rush.. Linebacker. Clemson
4. Oakland Raiders
Dante Fowler Jr.. 4. player. 28. Wide receiver may be a big option here but how can the Oakland Raiders pass up a chance to give Khalil Mack some help with the pass rush? By adding Dante Fowler Jr. the team suddenly has not one but two versatile edge men who can attack from several angles and make life miserable for quarterbacks.. Linebacker. Florida
