1.
New York Giants select Offensive Tackle Cedric Ogbuehi from Texas A&M
University.
The Giants enter Week 3 with the worst offensive line in
football. After giving Eli Manning an explosive playmaker in
Odell Beckham Jr last year, they can give him a premier
Offensive Tackle. That player is Texas A&M’s Cedric Ogbuehi.
Standing at 6’5’’ 300 pounds, Ogbuehi has the perfect size to
be a dominant OT in the NFL. He spent his freshman andsophomore years playing both guard spots, but moved to
Right Tackle last year. He did a great job blocking for
Manziel’s Aggies, and has taken over as Kenny Hill’s blindside
protector. He is a smart football player, and is incredibly
strong. He is a really good pass blocker and an outstanding
run blocker. He would be a great addition to the Giants’
Offensive Line.

2.
Washington Redskins select Defensive Lineman Leonard Williams from
The University of Southern California.
After getting a franchise Left Tackle and a franchise Quarterback
in the last 2 drafts, the Jaguars can finally shift their focus
towards the defensive side of the ball. Defensive Lineman
Leonard Williams may not be a better defensive line prospect
than Nebraska’s Defensive End Randy Gregory, but he’s justwhat Jacksonville needs. The Trojan is an outstanding athlete
who has seen time at both DT and DE. He is one of the top pass
rushers in College Football, posting 13 sacks and 26 tackles for
losses in his career at USC. He also shown that he can stop the
run extremely well, compliling 98 non-sack tackles in his career.
He was a 1st
Team All-Pac-12 and a 1st
Team All-American in 2013
and is looking good so far. He has been dealing with some minorinjuries, but there is no way you can deny the kid’s talent and his
knowledge of the game.

3.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Defensive Back Ifo-Ekpre Olomu from The
University of Oregon.
The Buccaneers were a middle of the pack team when it came to
pass defense in 2013. They also lost a Top-3 Cornerback in Darrelle
Revis. Even though the Bucs signed Alterraun Verner, they still
need another Defensive Back. And after the game against Atlanta,
it’s indisputable that secondary is their biggest need. Enter Ifo-
Ekpre Olomu from Oregon. Olomu might be a bit undersized at
5’10’’ 185, but he plays much, much bigger than that. He has and
unreal 192 career tackles in 32 games. He’s the best zone cover
corner in college. He is excellent at reading the eyes of the
Quarterback and has great hands. He has 8 career interceptions in
32 games with the Ducks. His speed is crazy and he’d fit like a glove
in Tampa Bay’s zone cover scheme. He would undoubtedly make
an immediate impact as a rookie.

4. Dallas Cowboys select Defensive End Randy Gregory from The University of
Nebraska
The Cowboys have the worst defense in professional football.
They do have a decent enough offense to get to the postseason,
except Tony Romo, but their defense is just atrocious. With the
#4 pick, they’ll select my highest rated defender, Defensive End
Randy Gregory out of Nebraska. At 6’6’’ 240, he is the premier
pass-rusher in college and has shown his great athleticism more
than a few times. He was a JUCO player that had 87 tackles and
9 sacks before transferring to Nebraska where he broke his leg in
2012. He returned in 2013 racking up 9.5 sacks and 16 tackles for
losses in 1 year as a Cornhusker. He also had a 33 yard pick-6
against San Diego State University. Although he’s only played
one year at the FBS level, but he is such a great Defensive End,
that he’s worth a top 5 selection. Much like Leonard Williams, he
has had some injuries this year, but nothing too crazy.

5. Oakland Raiders select Offensive Tackle Brandon Scherff from The
University of Iowa.
Offensive Tackle may not be the Raiders biggest need, but the
3rd
overall pick is definitely not one you want to reach with.
After getting some help on defense and getting what seems to
be a franchise Quarterback, the Raiders will make the safe pick
and select the Offensive Tackle out of Iowa, Brandon Scherff. At
6’5’’ 315, Scherff has the prefect size to play tackle in the NFL.
The big Left Tackle is the draft’s best run blocker, who is also
good at pass blocking. His play speed is phenomenal, as he has
been seen numerous times running downfield and blocking for
ball-carriers, similar to the 49ers’ Joe Staley. He is seen more
seen as a Right Tackle by NFL scouts and would really help a
Raiders offensive line that is hurt by the loss of Jared Veldeer.
He has also played Guard, which could be an option due to his
outstanding run-blocking. He had knee surgery, but played the
same week he had it, having a nice game versus school rival,
Iowa State University.

6. St. Louis Rams select Quarterback Marcus Mariota from The University of
Oregon.
The Rams lost Sam Bradford to another ACL injury to his left
knee this year, and are planning to search for a new signal caller
this spring. The best candidate for the job is Oregon’s golden boy
Marcus Mariota. Mariota is a player that has been in Heisman
consideration for a few years now, and is also the best option
under-center in the 2015 Draft. He has a nice arm and makes
good decisions in the air. He is also very athletic. He moves
around in the pocket to extend plays, and can take off when he
needs to. The 2-time All-Pac-12 Quarterback is a smart football
player that has only 10 picks to 71 career TD passes and has
racked up over 7000 passing yards. He has also rushed for 1623
yards and 17 touchdowns in his career with the Ducks.

7. Tennessee Titans select Outside Linebacker Shaq Thompson from The
University of Washington.
Call me crazy, but I believe in Jake Locker and that Tennessee
will stay the course with him under-center. That being said, the
Titans need some help on the opposite side of the football. The
Washington product fits the mold of a defensive freak. He is a
wildcard, being good enough to cover as a linebacker, rush the
Quarterback, and is fast enough to even play safety. He is best
seen as an Outside Linebacker, however. He is very strong and is
lightning quick. He has shown his speed by playing runningback
and having a fumble recovery touchdown for 52 yards and just
burning everyone in the process. He also had a 33 years pick-six
in the same game. He has 174 career tackles, 12.5 tackles for
losses, 3.5 sacks, and 5 interceptions in 16 career games with the
Huskies. Realistically, he has the potential to be one of the best
Outside Linebackers in football.

8. Cleveland Browns select Amari Cooper from The University of Alabama.
With Josh Gordon getting suspended on a yearly basis, and just
not having another reliable pass-catcher, the Browns really need
another option at wide receiver. There to fill this need is
Alabama’s pride and joy Amari Cooper. The junior wideout has
137 career receptions for 2190 yards and 17 trips to the
endzone. He is an excellent route-runner and has the perfectcombination of speed and catching ability to make any Offensive
Coordinator fall in love with him. If Cleveland can pair him with
franchise signal-caller Johnny Football, they could very easily
have an AJ Green-Andy Dalton type connection.

9. Washington Redskins select Defensive Back Marcus Peters from The
University of Washington.
The Redskins’ defense is bad, and their secondary is just
atrocious. They really need a corner, after posting one oif thegame’s worst pass defenses. Their best option at #9 is the
Defensive Back out of Washington. Peters is 6’1’’190, and is an
extremely physical player. However, he is a very emotional
player that has a quick temper. This was shown by him arguing
with his coaches on the sidelines. He just needs to learn to not
do stupid things like that, and being around vets would help him
learn that. His talent is undeniable, compiling 108 tackles and 8interceptions as a Husky.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 11/35
10. Houston Texans select Quarterback Jameis Winston from Florida State
University.
After pairing Jadaveon Clowney with JJ Watt to make one of thescariest defensive tandems in the NFL, the Texans can select
their franchise Quarterback. Tom Savage is never going to be an
NFL starter and neither Ryan Mallet nor Ryan Fitzpatrick are long
term solutions at the position. Heisman winner Jameis Winston
will be selected 10th
despite his off-field issues. He was
outstanding in his Heisman campaign and looks to be a great
selection here. Andre Johnson is only going to be around somuch longer, so they need to get a Quarterback while the
Texans have Johnson and Hopkins to receive and Foster to carry
the rock. If you pair them with Winston and that Houston
defense, you’ve got something real good cooking in Texas.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 12/35
11. Minnesota Vikings select Defensive Back PJ Williams from Florida State
University.
The Vikings’ glaring need is secondary help, especially after
having the 31st
ranked pass defense last year, and that’s because
their secondary got destroyed game after game. They really
need help at the Cornerback position, and with the #11 pick, the
Vikes find their guy in Florida State’s PJ Williams. Standing at
6’0’’ 195, he has a good frame to play corner in the NFL, and is
an outstanding athlete. With the Seminoles, he has 3
interceptions and 51 tackles. He does play a lot of zonecoverage, and is good at reading the eyes of the receiver.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 13/35
12. New York Jets select Wide Receiver Ty Montgomery from Stanford
University.
With the Jets committed to Geno Smith as their Quarterback,
they need to give him another weapon. The Jets went out and
signed superstar Wide Receiver Eric Decker and drafted Tight
End Jace Amaro. However, they need a real #2 after cutting
Santonio Holmes. Their best option at #12 is Ty Montgomery.
The Cardinal’s senior Wideout hauled in 61 catches for 953 yards
and 10 touchdowns in his junior campaign, while having 1091
return yards and 2 kick/punt return touchdowns. To go with his
quickness, Montgomery stands at 6’2’’ 220 allowing him to be
more physical and harder to cover by corners. He was a
Consensus All-American in 2013 for his contributions on special
teams.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 14/35
13. Kansas City Chiefs select Defensive Back Trae Waynes from Michigan State
University.
After cutting Pro-Bowler Brandon Flowers in Training Camp, the
Chiefs need a new member of the secondary. There to fill that
void is the physical Corner out of MSU. Waynes stands at 6’1’’,
but he’s only 182 pounds, so teams would like him to add
weight. Besides that he works well in zone or man coverage and
loves to hit receivers. In his junior campaign, he racked up 50
tackles, 3 interceptions, and 5 more passes defended. Much like
his former teammate Darqueze Dennard, drafted last year in the
first round, he likes to play rough and loves to play hard. He
would also be a nice change of direction in Kansas City’s
secondary from Brandon Flowers.

14. Chicago Bears select Strong Safety Landon Collins from the University of
Alabama.
The Bears’ defense is getting old and is very slow. They drafted a
top playmaker at Cornerback in Kyle Fuller last year, and can get
the top playmaker at Safety this year. The junior from
Tuscaloosa has 110 career tackles, 2 interceptions, 6 passes
defended, and 2 forced fumbles. He is good at zone coverage,
but will bat down more balls than he’ll intercept. He is a player
who loves to unleash the hit stick upon players who have the
football. He is also effective at jumping snaps as he has 4 tackles
for losses in his time at Alabama. Having what looks to be the
next great Corner and Safety, the Bears’ defense looks to be
heading in the right direction to rebuild their defense.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers select Defensive Back Alex Carter from Stanford
University.
With Ike Taylor turning 34 this year, the Steelers need to look
into drafting his replacement. Stanford’s Alex Carter looks to be
just what the Steelers need. Carter plays in the pass oriented
Pac-12, much like how the AFC North is. In his career, he has 9
passes deflections. However, he only has one interception in 3
years. He does not have good hands, but can read the
Quarterback’s eyes really well and knows where to be. He is a
smart guy, much like most Stanford players, and has great size at
6’0’’ 202. He is a real good tackler as he has 112 career tackles
and 4 forced fumbles. He would be a player who can cover well,
but won’t get you 4-5 picks every year.

17. Miami Dolphins select Inside Linebacker Denzel Perryman from The
University of Miami.
With more than a few holes on both sides of the ball, the
Dolphins need a Middle Linebacker to take control of their
defense. With the 17
th
pick, they’ll take the local kid DenzelPerryman from The U. At only 6’0’’, there have been questions
about his height, but he is big enough to play ILB at 242 pounds.
With the Hurricanes, he’s had 180 tackles, with 17.5 of them
being for losses, one interception, with another 6 passes
defended, and 4 forced fumbles. The questions about his
conditioning are a little off, considering the Hurricane defense
has spent a lot more time on the field than off it. All things said,
Perryman looks like a stud on the field that can impact the
Dolphins defense for a long time.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 19/35
18. Arizona Cardinals select Quarterback Brett Hundley from The
University of California, Los Angeles.
With Carson Palmer play in just well enough to miss the playoffs,
the Cardinals will be looking for his successor. There to take his
position is star UCLA signal caller Brett Hundley. Hundley has a
good enough arm to fit with Arizona’s offense and has the
athleticism to move in the pocket while playing with the
Cardinals’ shoddy offensive line. I was surorised that Arizona
didn’t pick a Quarterback last year when they had pick of the
litter, but now is their chance to select a franchise player under-
center. The junior has played with one of the worst offensive
lines in the Top-25, but has had some terrible performances. For
example, he threw 3 interceptions against Cal, one of the worst
offenses in the FBS, and completed 19 passes for 64 yards
against Oregon. In his career, he has 7497 yards and 56 through
the air, and 1177 yards with 21 touchdowns on the ground. He is
an outstanding athlete and would be a nice change of style in
Arizona’s offense.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 20/35
19. Carolina Panthers select Offensive Tackle Andrus Peat from Stanford
University.
After losing many players last year, including franchise Left
Tackle Jordan Gross last year, the Panthers need a new blindside
protector for Cam Newton. Last year they added a playmaker at
Wideout in Kelvin Benjamin, and this year, and now they can
draft an Offensive Lineman. Their best option is the 2nd
-Team
All-Pac-12 Offensive Tackle Andrus Peat. He is one of the top
Offensive Lineman prospects in this year’s draft, with good
merit. As a 3 year starter, Peat has seen action at every
Offensive Line spot, except Center. However, he is best seen as a
Left Tackle. He has been an outstanding pass blocker for Kevin
Hogan, and has also been a great run blocker for Stanford’s
bunch of Running Backs. Peat could very easily take Gross’s spot
as the Panthers’ franchise Left Tackle for many years
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 21/35
20. Baltimore Ravens select Running Back Todd Gurley from The University of
Georgia.
With Ray Rice out of the picture, the Ravens need a Tailback to
pair with Joe Flacco and help balance out the Ravens offense.
Todd Gurley is an extremely athletic ball-carrier from Georgia.
He is this years’ best Running Back prospect and an All-SEC team
member. He stands at 6’1’’ 236, but he has the speed of a
running back who weighs 200 pounds. He is a hard runner with
the swiftness to outrun anyone. He declined to enter last year’sdraft after posting a stellar 2012 campaign and following that
with a great 2013 season. In his 3 year career, he has 3260 total
yards from scrimmage and 37 total touchdowns. He is not only
the best runner in college football, but he may also be the best
receiving back. He will be the first Halfback selected in the 1st
Round since David Wilson in 2013, and may be an All-Pro as a
rookie.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 23/35
22. Detroit Lions select Defensive Back KeiVarae Russell from The University of
Notre Dame.
Sporting a good offense, the Lions should focus more on the
defensive side of the ball, especially the secondary. Notre
Dame’s prized corner KeiVarae Russell would be a good fit. At
5’11’’ 195, Russell has good size and skill. He plays man coverage
quite a bit, but also plays some zone, he does well at both. With
the Irish, he has 109 tackles, 3 picks, 12 passes defended, but
zero forced fumbles. He is good at reading offenses and can
cover anyone you put on him. He would be a big part of the
Lions’ secondary for many years and would help Detroit have a
legit secondary, which would have them be playoff contenders
as long as they have Megatron on offense.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 24/35
23. Green Bay Packers select Inside Linebacker Ramik Wilson from The
University of Georgia.
The Packers have many needs on the defensive side of the ball.
One of those needs is a Middle Linebacker to help fix their
terrible run defense. The Packers have a very tough time
stopping the run, especially quarterback runs/scrambles. A
player who can help fix that is the Georgia Bulldog’s athletic
Linebacker, Ramik Wilson. He makes tackle everywhere on the
field, and at 6’2’’ 237, he has good size. The senior Linebacker
has 143 tackles and 12 tackles for losses with Georgia. The
Packers need to get their defensive playbook up to the times,
and a good start is the selection of Ramik Wilson.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 25/35
24. Cincinnati Bengals select Outside Linebacker Vic Beasley from Clemson
University.
Needing some help with their Outside Linebacker situation, the
Bengals will take Vic Beasley, the pass-rushing Linebacker out of
Clemson. Standing at 6’3’’ 235, Beasley is a complete animal on
the football field. In his junior campaign, he had an incredible 13
sacks with an awe-inspiring 23 tackles for loss. That was
combined with 4 forced fumbles and 6 pass deflections. Over his
career, he has 23 sacks and 31 tackles for losses, 6 forced
fumbles, and 5 passes defended. His outstanding skill on the
field and extensive knowledge of the game can help the Cincy
defense stay in the top 10, and keep the Bengals atop the AFC
North for a long time.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 26/35
25. San Diego Chargers select Wide Receiver Sammie Coates from Auburn
University.
The Chargers need another Wide Receiver to pair with 2013
Draft steal Keenan Allen. Auburn’s Sammie Coates fits their
desires. He stands at 6’2’’ 201 and plays at a high octane level.
He hauled in 49 receptions for 1029 yards, finishing 3rd
in the
nation averaging 21.5 yards per catch. His speed has gotten
better with each passing year and he is an incredible jumper. He
doesn’t have the amount of career receptions you’d want by
now, but his talent is undeniable. If San Diego can have him,
Keenan Allen, Eddie Royal, and Antonio Gates (depending on
how long he sticks around) in an offense directed by Phillip
Rivers, you’re looking at a team that can challenge Denver year
after year.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 27/35
26. Indianapolis Colts select Running Back Melvin Gordon from The University of
Wisconsin.
The Colts need a real runner out of the backfield to help balance
their offense. Even after trading a first rounder for Trent
Richardson last year, the Colts still need a Running Back who can
gain a lot more yards than T-Rich did. Wisconsin’s star Tailback
Melvin Gordon is a good hard-nosed runner who has amassed
over 2500 yards and 17 scores. He would be a good addition as
the Colts try to get a run game going to take some pressure off
of Andrew Luck. However, he does not catch the ball a whole lot,
as he has 7 receptions in 3 years in Wisconsin. Indianapolis
would love to see him receive more, but as it stands, Gordon
would be a great edition to the Colts offense.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 28/35
27. New Orleans Saints select Inside Linebacker Erick Kendricks from The
University of California, Los Angeles.
After cutting longtime Linebacker Jonathan Vilma at the end of
last year, the Saints need a new Middle Linebacker who can
command their defense. There to take that spot is UCLA
superstar Eric Kendricks. Kendricks has great speed and is one of
the best pure tacklers in this draft. He has accounted for 369
tackles in just 29 career games in his career with the Bruins. In
the last 2 seasons alone, he has had 254 tackles, 2 picks, 4 sacks,10 tackles for losses and 2 blocked kicks. He would fit well with
the Saints and would be a great run stopper up the middle as the
Saints try and return to their defensive glory days.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 29/35
28. Philadelphia Eagles select Defensive Back Ronald Darby from Florida State
University.
The Eagles top need is definitely a corner after posting the worst
pass defense in football a year ago. They picked a good pass
rusher last year, and can help their secondary this year. A good
start to the repair process is the Florida State Defensive Back,
Ronald Darby. He’s coming off a year in which he only played 2
games, but compiled 14 tackles and 2 interceptions. Standing at
5’11’ 195, he is good in zone coverage, but he still needs some
polishing. His speed is amazing. He I also a track runner who was
clocked at a 4.37 40 his senior year of high school, and he’s
gotten a lot faster. His tackling isn’t all too impressive, but you
don’t have to tackle to play corner in the NFL, i.e. Patrick
Peterson.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 30/35
29. San Francisco 49ers select Defensive End Dante Fowler from The University
of Florida.
The 49ers may need a Defensive End depending on how the Ray
McDonald situation goes, but as of now, they’ll select the 6’3
261 pound DE from the Gators. Fowler has 6 sacks, 18.5 tackles
for losses, and 3 forced fumbles while playing in the best division
in College Football. He has good quickness of the snap to get to
the Quarterback, and he has the vision to see the cuts of the ball
carrier. He also has the strength to throw away lineman and
make a tackle. Playing in San Francisco, he won’t have to be
rushed into the starting spot, but he can eventually take over
and be a force to be reckoned with. Much like Michael Sam,
Fowler has played Outside Linebacker, but is not seen as one in
today’s NFL.

31. Denver Broncos select Offensive Tackle La’el Collins from Louisiana State
Univeristy.
The Broncos don’t have a lot of needs, but another Offensive
Lineman would be a good idea. With Orlando Franklin’s contract
up at the end of the year, they can choose to not pay him, and
instead draft his replacement, or just replace another position. A
good player to fill in would be LSU’s La’el Collins. Collins has
played both Guard and Tackle, and is an outstanding run
blocker. He stands at 6’5’’ 321, and is improving his pass-
blocking. He was selected to the All-SEC 2nd
team and was a
Freshman All-American. He could play Guard for Denver before
moving to Tackle, or he could just take over a Tackle spot. Either
way, he’d be a good part of that Offensive Line for years to
come.
8/11/2019 2015 Mock Draft Edition 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2015-mock-draft-edition-3 33/35
32. Seattle Seahawks select Offensive Guard AJ Cann from The University of
South Carolina.
The Seahawks biggest need is and interior lineman. After getting
a new Right Tackle, Justin Britt, last year, they can select an
Offensive Guard. The best Guard in the draft is AJ Cann, and
that’s who Seattle will select. Cann is a polished run blocker who
needs to work on his pass blocking, but with Seattle, that might
not be a huge problem. With Running Backs like Marshwan
Lynch, Robert Turbin, and Christine Michael, and also a
Quarterback like Russell Wilson, the Hawks are a run-first team.
Cann has experience blocking for a team with a mobile QB who
hands off a lot and doesn’t take many chances, blocking for
Connor Shaw. He is a very smart football player, in fact, he’s
made the SEC Academic Fall Honor Roll 3 times while at South
Carolina. He would be an immediate upgrade at either Guard
spot and would help solidify the Seahawks offense Line andmake the Seattle offense its own independent force.
