2015 NFL Mock Draft - Latest Picks & Rumors!

The 2015 Draft will be another big draft. It will feature a bevy of quarterbacks and defensive players who skipped out on 2014 to polish their game for another year. This is extremely early, but let's project some picks anyways. Who will draft Jameis Winston? Where will Marcus Mariota go?

Find out below. 

 (Note: these picks are fluid, I will update on MockDraftHQ.com)


1. Raiders: Marcus Mariota QB Oregon If the Raiders pick top 5 two years in a row, its Derek Carr's fault. It would be time to bring in a franchise QB. Mariota is billed as a prototypical NFL "new age" type of running/passing threat at QB.  

2. Jaguars: Leonard Williams DE USC The Jags would like to draft an offensive threat here to help the youth movement, but stay true to the board as usual.  

3. Giants: Andrus Peat OT Stanford The Giants look horrible. The new quick passing offense isn't working because Eli Manning has no time to throw.  

4. Buccaneers: Connor Cook QB Michigan State 56-0. Do I need to say more? The Buccaneers couldn't get a point on the board this past Thursday in Atlana under Josh McCown.  

5. Chiefs: Amari Cooper WR Alabama The Chiefs are still looking to build out a formidable WR group. Dwayne Bowe is still one of the best at what he does, but alongside him have been young inexperienced players who haven't grown to potential.  

6. Steelers: Cameron Erving OT Florida State This group at tackle doesn't have a player with franchise potential. Irving would be an attractive candidate at this point.  

7. Titans: Landon Collins S Alabama Youth is needed behind veteran Bernard Pollard.

8. Cowboys: Randy Gregory DE Nebraska The Cowboys are so desperate to find help upfront on defense, they signed that one guy.... but yeah. Randy Gregory plays that same position and is a MUCH better prospect than the practice player that shall not be named.  

9. Redskins: PJ Williams CB Florida State The Skins have spent the big money on offense... when will it trickle down building some quality youth in the defensive backfield?  

10. Jets: Ronald Darby CB Florida State We'll see if "the other best corner in the game" Dee Milliner (his words) lives up to that hype.  

11. Dolphins: Shilique Calhoun DE Michigan State I initially had the Dolphins going tackle, but they need help on defense in a major way right now. Quarterback is also in play.  

12. Browns: Stefon Diggs WR Maryland Diggs is a speedy WR who can help alleviate the loss of Josh Gordon, whether that is temporary or long term.  

13. Browns: Cedric Ogbuehi OT Texas A&M After grabbing a young threat at WR to pair with Gordon, the Browns build out the offense with a guy that Johnny Football may recognize. Gotta keep him upright and in the pocket for this team to go places.  

14. Bears: Brandon Scherff OT Iowa The Bears build depth around Kyle Long and crew with a top offensive tackle.  

15. Texans: Dante Fowler DE Florida After drafting the beast Jadeveon Clowney and locking up JJ Watt, the Texans continue to fuel the line with more youth.

16. Rams: Shawn Oakman DE Baylor Shawn Oakman is a freak athlete who would add a terrorising element to an already near elite defense. Chris Long can't play forever. In a perfect world Oakman and Robert Quinn continue the dominance of this defense for another half decade or so.  


17. Vikings: Leonard Floyd DE Georgia The Vikings are relying on a bevy of young players up front on D. If no one emerges they must continue to look.  

18. Falcons: Todd Gurley RB Georgia Atlanta will likely look for a long term replacement for Steven Jackson. This is a very good class at this position.  

19. Lions: Trae Waynes CB Michigan State I'm still trying to figure out why this team felt the need to draft Eric Ebron. Oh well....  

20. Panthers: Vic Beasley OLB Clemson Greg Hardy is getting paid $13 million to stay at home, and Thomas Davis is literally on his last legs. Carolina's patchwork WR corps is actually getting the job done, so they can devote this pick to replacing Davis or Hardy.  

21. Ravens: La'el Collins OT LSU Outside of of Eugene Monroe, the Ravens need to upgrade their tackles.  

22. Colts: TJ Yeldon RB Alabama Trent Richardson is still showing a lack of elite vision, and that is leaving the Colts struggling to run consistently.  

23. Eagles: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu CB Oregon The Eagles have made it no secret they covet fast, athletic players on defense.  

24. Cardinals: Markus Golden DE Missouri Right now the Cardinals are suffering from the loss of Darnell Dockett. Consider that a preview of the future when he retires.  

25. Bengals: Alex Carter CB Stanford The Bengals still rely on old-timers at corner, and the youth movement isn't picking up as quite planned.  

26. Chargers: Melvin Gordon III RB Wisconsin Ryan Matthews cannot figure out how to stay on the field. Even if he continues to develop into a reliable starter the Chargers could always use a young dynamic threat alongside. Danny Woodhead will turn 30 this season.  

27. Packers: Eric Kendricks ILB UCLA A team in need of a push in the middle of that defense.  

28. Saints: Jalen Collins CB LSU This team was so desperate, they auditioned Champ Bailey during the preseason. The Saints need another corner, and have made it no secret.

29. Patriots: Devin Funchess TE Michigan Do we need to say why? Their star end is one injury away from hanging is up and the other... umm.... I'm not going to comment on the other tight end that played here.  

30. 49ers: Jaelen Strong WR Arizona State The Niners are working on kicking down that championship door. Will Michael Crabtree stay healthy long enough to get it done? Will this coaching staff finally craft an offense to suit Colin Kaepernick's unique abilities while getting multiple receivers involved? We'll see.  

31. Seahawks: Marcus Peters CB Washington The "best corner in da game" and his buddies need depth after losing Brandon Browner.  

32. Broncos: Denzel Perryman ILB Miami (Fla.) This is a pick I routinely mocked in 2013. The Broncos still need a reliable ILB a year later. Did you forget Paris Lenon started the Super Bowl for this team?

2013 NFL Mock Draft: Latest Picks & Thoughts

1. Chiefs: Luke Joeckel OT Texas AM
The Chiefs have traded for Alex Smith so this one is set in stone.  Joeckel is the latest OL to go #1 overall.


2. Jaguars: Dion Jordan DE Oregon
Dion Jordan is gaining traction fast. Probably the best pure athlete in the class and a good pass rusher.  Put that together and you got magic.


3. Raiders: Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
Sharrif has come on strong lately.  He was demolishing the drills at the combine while Star Lotuleli was on the sidelines with medical issues.  Thus, he moves up.


4. Eagles: Demarcus Milliner CB Alabama
Milliner had his own medical issues but still shut down the combine.  Nnamdi Asomugha's replacement.


5. Lions: Bjoern Werner DE Florida State
Lions released Vandenbosh and need a replacement.  Is it Werner? Could be. 


6. Browns: Barkevious Mingo OLB LSU
Fits in well with what they want to do in the 3-4.  Phil Taylor clogging up the middle will give him room to operate.


7. Cardinals: Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan
Kolb is supposed to be restructuring his contract so Fisher is the guy we are looking at here.  Young OT to stabilize the line.


8. Bills: Geno Smith QB West Virginia
Geno is the man who helped himself the most of the quarterbacks in the combine.  All of the previous 2013 mock drafts had him going top 10 now it is no question.  Bills finally put Fitzpatrick on the bench.


9. Jets: Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
Ansah had a monster Senior bowl and is a solid top 15 pick.  Jets would love a QB but will have to look a little bit later in the draft. Mike Glennon?


10. Titans: Chance Warmack OG Alabama
Titans need to provide Chris Johnson some running lanes.  Warmack to the rescue?


11. Chargers: Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
It's time to rebuild and the best way to start a mini-rebuild is at left tackle.


12. Dolphins: Cordarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee
The best receiver in the draft class, well at least on paper, goes to the Fins. They still need another WR.


13. Buccaneers: Desmond Trufant CB Washington
Shooting up the boards fast.


14. Panthers: Star Lotulelei DT Utah
Falls due to medical condition but he is still top 15-type talent.


15. Saints: Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia
Also falls due to his medical issue but the Saints can't be luckier.  Possibly the next Von Miller.


16. Rams: Jonathan Cooper OG North Carolina
Rams have needed linemen for years.


17. Steelers: Damontre Moore DE Texas AM
Falls because of a crappy combine but Steelers plug him into a first class organization.


18. Cowboys: Kenny Vaccaro S Texas
Sensebaugh is good, but talent can be upgraded.


19. Giants: Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia
The Giants are in a cap crunch, so Chase Blackburn might not be back.


20. Bears: Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
Jay Cutler needs a big TE to throw to over the middle.


21. Bengals: Sam Montgomery DE LSU
Michael Johnson is going to leave in free agency.


22. Rams: Keenan Allen WR California
Brian Quick wasn't active much so maybe they aren't sold on him.


23. Vikings: Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
The new Percy Harvin?


24. Colts: Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
The 3-4 needs players.


25. Seahawks: Kawann Short DT Purdue
Possibly converts to DE full time.


26. Packers: Eddie Lacy RB Alabama
You have to stop re-signing Ryan Grant every time you are in a jam and develop someone.


27. Texans: Kevin Minter ILB LSU
Brian Cushing tore his ACL, Minter will help ease him back.


28. Broncos: Xavier Rhodes CB Florida State
I think Champ is still a top corner, but he is 34.


29. Patriots: Justin Hunter WR Tennessee
Brandon Lloyd will not be back.


30. Falcons: Matt Elam S Florida
William Moore is getting franchsied.


31. 49ers: Alex Okafor DE Texas
Need someone to take over for Justin Smith when he retires.


32. Ravens: Manti Teo ILB Notre Dame
Not the fastest LB in the draft, but nor was Ray Lewis and they won the Super Bowl.

MOCK DRAVATAR (Final Mock!)

Draft Title: MOCK DRAFTAVATAR Final User : admin No need to watch the draft. Thanks to advanced technology from the future I am able to show you what is going to happen in the future, now. Page Hits : 1 Unique Hits : 1 Comments : 0 Rankings : 0 avg Draft Rating :

1 Rams Bradford, Sam QB from Oklahoma The Rams want to go with Suh, but with the team for sale and the fanbase dwindling its time to usher in some excitement with a franchise QB for better or worse. 2 Lions Suh, Ndamukong DT from Nebraska Lions fans were told they weren't be disappointed. Suh, Stafford, CJ, Pettigrew, Delmas... could they actually win some games in 2010? Say it isn't so! 3 Buccaneers Mccoy, Gerald DT from Oklahoma I really think they should think about Berry here. He knows the Tampa 2 better than Raheem Morris (the worst coach in the NFL BTW.. I said it!). But they take the big country boy who oddly reminds me of Warren Sapp. 4 Redskins Williams, Trent OT from Oklahoma Mike Shanahan is known to go against the gain. I think Williams' athleticism rules out and he falls in love with an athletic tackle that reminds him of Clady. 5 Chiefs Okung, Russell OT from Oklahoma State They'll think about Berry, and think about Dez, but ultimately Matt Cassell needs help. You don't spend all that money to draft no offensive line help. 6 Seahawks Berry, Eric S from Tennessee QUICK... name a Seattle Seahawk safety. Exactly. This team is deprived of star power on defense and they need a safety. Its a match made in heaven. The only way they screw this up is if Carroll wants to get Mays later and they grab the OT here. 7 Browns Morgan, Derrick DE from Georgia Tech They traded Wimbley and just like the Seahawks they need star power on defense. Morgan might now be the flashiest pick but he will come in and make an impact in a divison with Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco. 8 Raiders Iupati, Mike OG from Idaho I literally want to put any random player here. No one knows what Al is going to do. He covets HEIGHT WEIGHT and SPEED, and Iupati has the first two along with a mean streak. 9 Bills Williams, Dan DT from Tennessee Buffalo is very interested in Tim Tebow and don't rule him out here. Remember a few years ago they boldly took Donte Whitner at 8. Transitioning to the 3-4, Williams is needed. 10 Jaguars Tebow, Tim QB from Florida Either they pick him here and now, or risk losing him to Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco or someone else later. This pick generates tremendous excitement and I guarantee season tickets will be sold out the first hour they are available. 11 Broncos Bryant, Dez WR from Oklahoma State McDaniels has to make good on trading away Marshall and can do just that by securing the best receiver to come out of college since Calvin Johnson. Maurkice Pouncey can still be had later via trade up. 12 Dolphins Weatherspoon, Sean OLB from Missouri Joey Porter and Jason Taylor leaving in the same offseason forces the wildcats to find a new pass rusher. 13 49ers Haden, Joe CB from Florida The Niners need a young corner to groom after Clements moves to safety. Even if he doesn't Haden would still be insurance. 14 Seahawks Bulaga, Bryan OT from Iowa Walter Jones is unofficially retired, so someone has to fill the HOFers shoes. Bulaga or Anthony Davis would provide some protection to Whitehurst for years to come. RB CJ Spiller is too similar to Justin Forsett to take this high. 15 Giants Mcclain, Rolando ILB from Alabama 16 Titans Pierre-Paul, Jason DE from South Florida Vanden Bosch is gone so someone needs to fill his pass rushing duties. 17 49ers Spiller, C.J. RB from Clemson Frank Gore and crew won't mind adding Spiller to the rotation. This is a 2-3 back league and Spiller is that lightning in a bottle that adds something special to their offense. 18 Steelers Clausen, Jimmy QB from Notre Dame I really don't see the Steelers standing behind Ben much longer. They seem to be irritated and ready to move on. Grabbing Clausen here could be a great stroke of luck and if he's on the board they absolutely must consider it. 19 Falcons Kindle, Sergio OLB from Texas Pass rusher to hopefully give them a presence theyve lacked for a while on the outside. 20 Texans Thomas, Earl S from Texas The Texans famously don't draft runners in the first round, but how long are they going to be abused by Chris Johnson, Joseph Addai, Donald Brown, and Maurice Jones Drew to reconsider that? It looks like this year they will ignore RB again and select the best DB left on the board. 21 Bengals Dunlap, Carlos DE from Florida This just seems like a Bengals pick. All the talent in the world with a questionable motor to run it. Marvin Lewis has gotten his bang for the buck with gambling on Rey Maualuga and Cedrick Benson in the past. Grabbing a super talented 300 lb. that just needs to be motivated has a Marvin Lewis move written all over it. 22 Patriots Odrick, Jared DT from Penn State The Patriots allegedly covet Odrick and with good reason. They drafted Richard Seymour and since they traded him things haven't been the same since. 23 Packers Saffold, Rodger OT from Indiana Saffold is rising into the first with good reason. Lots of teams need a young tackle and the Pack are one of them. I believe he is more talented than Charles Brown and will sneak ahead of him. 24 Eagles Mays, Taylor S from USC Big time hitter at safety. They need someone that WRs fear since Dawkins is in Denver. 25 Ravens Benn, Arrelious WR from Illinois Demariyus Thomas is too much of a risk for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations. 26 Cardinals Hughes, Jerry DE from TCU The homer pick Grownkowski is always a possibility. I think they go DE/LB to fill in for Dansby's playmaking ability. Porter is signed, but is winding down. Now if only he'd wind down his antics. 27 Cowboys Allen, Nathaniel S from South Florida The Cowboys should be excited to add Allen. He has great ball skills and will be everything Hamlin wasn't to them. 28 Chargers Mathews, Ryan RB from Fresno State Bigger guy to go with Sproles. 29 Jets Cody, Terrence DT from Alabama The Jets love making splashes. Big splashes. No splash is bigger than Mount Cody who will rotate in with Jenkins and eventually take his spot. 30 Vikings Mccoy, Colt QB from Texas Publicly they are saying they are comfortable with Tavaris Jackson. Sure they are, that's why Brad Childress looks like he is going to piss himself any time someone mentions the thought of Favre retiring. 31 Colts Pouncey, Maurkice C from Florida Charles Brown could also be the guy here, either way it needs to be a lineman and not another WR. If Peyton is going to play for another 5-6 years you cannot let him get hit as many times as he did in the Super Bowl. Pouncey can play guard to start and move to center as Saturday gets older. 32 Saints Wilson, Kyle CB from Boise State As usual, the champs get to make what seems like a luxury pick. Its looking more and more like Darren Sharper will go to the highest bidder this season, and Malcom Jenkins may see the field as his replacement.
