In a few hours , we will all witness the first round of the NFL 2015 Draft. As we countdown towards tonight, we decided to do a mini mock draft of the top 5 selections. Here is our draft:
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Jameis Winston)
While this is not a given, we believe that the Bucs will go with Winston. He has all of the tools to be a great quarterback in the NFL.He has a high football IQ, he's clutch down the stretch , and he has a powerful arm. In addition, Winston would come in with two solid receivers in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans. He will have more questions about his character off the field than on.
2. Tennessee Titans (Marcus Mariota)
With Winston off of the board, and the Titans in need of a quarterback, they will most likely go with Oregon product Marcus Mariota. Mariota can throw, run, and has a lot of upside with his 6'4 frame. Although the Titans have many other holes, Mariota does not seem like someone to pass on.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (Dante Fowler Jr.)
While Jaguars are continuing to work on offense, they are trying to put together a better defense. As of now , Fowler could be a key piece in turning that defense around.
4. Oakland Raiders (Amari Cooper)
I'm sure this selection isn't the popular one, but I can definitely see this happening for a number of reasons. 1.) The Raiders have been known to make surprising picks in the past. Since they do feel good about Derrick Carr, and picked linebacker Khalil Mack last year, why not provide Carr with an explosive weapon like Cooper?
5. Washington Redskins (Leonard Williams)
With a horrible defense, things could turn around for the Skins starting in the middle. Williams started football later than most in his life, and is still projected to be a top 5 pick. This is an important note because some players tend to burn out at some point. He will more than likely work harder to become better because of his high passion to learn more about the game. If Cooper is taken at 4 , look for the Redskins to quickly select Williams.
