How would things change in a 2015 NFL Draft redo? Would Winston and Mariota still go one and two if the draft happened today?

If we look back to the 2015 NFL draft, there were only two quarterbacks taken during the first round, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, respectively. There was been a balance of offensive and defensive players taken in the first round of this NFL draft.

Also, there are still twenty players on the same team that originally drafted them. There are twelve players on different teams and nine of them were because of trades made over the past couple of seasons. Twenty teams have picked up the fifth-year option for their drafted players and twenty-one players are still starting in this league. Not bad numbers for four years after the draft.

Like every year, there are a few players selected in the later rounds of the draft who have had really good success for their team and this draft class is no different. Players like Grady Jarrett, Stefon Diggs, and Trent Brown are just a couple of the players who were originally taken on day three of the draft that I have going in the first round now.

If the 2015 NFL Draft happened today, I believe things would have happened quite differently and you will see that as we continue along. My selections are made based on there success over the last four years plus team needs and fits.
