2015 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Titans Eliminate Eagles Trade Talk

I’m a <em>diehard </em>Bulldogs fan, but I swear I’m not biased. I know Todd Gurley is coming off an ACL injury, but really is that good. He has the ability to be the next great back in the NFL. Even though the running back position has been devalued a bit by the pass-happy NFL, he still has the skills to be a “bellcow” back at the next level. Ryan Mathews has struggled to stay healthy which makes Gurley harder to pass up at this point. Even though Gurley has an ACL injury, I still view him as a top 5 player in the 2015 draft class.. RB. Georgia. Todd Gurley. 17. player. 13

I’ve harped on this before, but he Chiefs have to improve their receiving corp. Anytime a you go an entire season without having a receiver catch one (ONE!!!!!) touchdown pass, you know you have to make serious changes. Jaelen Strong is one of my favorite prospects in the draft and he proved he ould separate from NFL corners when he ran a 4.44 40 yard dash at the combine. Chiefs, you just found your receiver help.. WR. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong. 18. player. 124

53. The Browns missed out on a receiver and anyone they take here would be a reach at this point in the draft. Here the Browns grab a talented defensive lineman out of Texas to shore up their run defense. Brown is a big, fast, physical tackle who will make an immediate difference against the run and the pass. The Browns just found their replacement for Phil Taylor.. DT. Texas. Malcom Brown. 19. player

54. If Marcus Peters didn’t have character concerns, he would likely be a top ten draft pick. That being said, the Eagles are getting incredible value at this point in the draft. The Eagles recently cut Bradley Fletcher and Cary Williams (rightfully so) leaving the cupboard pretty bare at cornerback. Peters has the ability to match up against the opposing teams number one receiver and he’ll flash that ability from his first day in training camp. The Eagles took a major step in rejuvenating their pass defense.. CB. Washington. Marcus Peters. 20. player

56. I’m going to steal this write-up from my previous mock draft: “The Bengals finished dead last in the NFL with 20 sacks last season. That figure is bad, but it looks even worse when you see that Carlos Dunlap had 8 of those 20 sacks. Yikes. The Bengals need to upgrade their pass rush and Alvin Dupree could be a steal here at 21. Dupree flashed serious pass rush potential last season for a terrible Kentucky defense.” Sums it up pretty well.. DE/OLB. Kentucky. Alvin Dupree. 21. player

Kevin Johnson. 22. player. 55. Kevin Johnson is cornerback who may be flying under the radar. He’s one of the most talented players in this class who flashes true shutdown potential at cornerback. Turn on the Florida State tape and you’ll fall in love. The Steelers have to upgrade the corner position after watching the disastrous duo of Cortez Allen and Ike Taylor last season.. CB. Wake Forest

It looks like the Lions are going to lose Ndamukong Suh to free agency, leaving a gaping hole at defensive tackle. Carl Davis flashes elite talent, but too often than not he lacks the fire that you love to see out of your defensive players. I would imagine defensive coordinator Teryl Austin will be able to get the most out of player like Davis.. DT. Iowa. Carl Davis. 23. player. 50

32. The Cardinals have a huge need at inside linebacker. Daryl Washington may not be back with the team and Larry Foote simply can’t be back with the team after last season. Kendricks plays the run and the pass extremely well and will fit right in with the Cardinals defense.. ILB. UCLA. Eric Kendricks. 24. player
