The 2015 NFL Draft will finally take place four days from now, April 30th in Chicago.
This has to be one of the most difficult drafts to predict of all-time. What makes this draft unique is the lack of can’t miss, scheme transcending talent. There is a plethora of elite talent, but scheme-fit will play a large part in where players are taken. Some players come with their off-the-field concerns, others come with injury concerns and the depth at certain positions will also surely add to the question marks in this first round.
What I have here is my list of the top 50 players, in order. As the draft goes on, obviously this won’t have much to do with where players are taken. For example, at the top of the list I have Leonard Williams, but with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the clock to start the draft, their need at quarterback is much stronger than at defensive tackle, so it makes sense for them to take Winston who is my second rated player.
Stay tuned for next week, as I will offer reviews of how the draft played out.
1. Leonard Williams, DT, USC
2. Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
3. Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
4. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
Georgia running back Todd Gurley would make a case for the top ranked player in this draft had it not been for a torn ACL
5. Dante Fowler Jr., DE, Florida
6. Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
7. Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
8. Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
9. Randy Gregory, OLB, Nebraska
Randy Gregory was looked at as a top-3 prospect until he tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine
10. La’el Collins, OT, LSU
11. T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pitt
12. Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
13. Alvin “Bud” Dupree, DE, Kentucky
14. Devante Parker, WR, Louisville
15. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
16. Shane Ray, DE, Missouri
I have a feeling Shane Ray may be one of the surprise players who slips in this draft. His size makes it a considerable risk for GMs to take
17. Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
18. Eric Kendricks, LB, UCLA
19. Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
20. Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
21. Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
22. Shaq Thompson, LB, Washington
23. Landon Collins, S, Alabama
24. Arik Armstead, DT, Oregon
25. Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Byron Jones’ elite athleticism was on show at the Combine. His tape matches his athleticism making a very valuable cornerback with some safety experience as well
26. Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA
27. Eric Rowe, CB/S, Utah
28. Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
29. Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
30. Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon
31. Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF
32. Dorial Green-Beckham, WR
33. Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami
34. Eli Harold, OLB, Virginia
35. Cameron Erving, C, Florida State
36. Alex Carter, CB, Stanford
Alex Carter is a player I am much higher on than most. I put a ton of value into a cornerback’s intelligence. Carter is an athlete and an academic who shows his smarts on the field as well as the classroom
37. Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State
38. Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
39. Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
40. Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
41. Xavier Cooper, DT, Washington State
42. Damarious Randall, S, Arizona State
43. Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
44. Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami
45. P.J. Williams, CB, Florida State
46. Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
Devin Smith is the best deep ball receiver in this draft. He will be an extremely valuable asset to NFL offenses with his ability to stretch the field. He will help receivers get open underneath as well as pull defenders out of the box to help running plays
47. Duke Johnson, RB, Miami
48. T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama
49. Philip Dorsett, WR, Miami
50. Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma
