1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Southern California. Leonard Williams. 1. player. 48. Pairing Leonard Williams with Gerald McCoy is too good to pass up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams is the best player in the 2015 NFL Draft and the Bucs wisely pick based on value and not need. Defensive Tackle
2. Tennessee Titans
Florida State. Jameis Winston. 2. player. 35. With Winston slipping to number two, the Titans immediately pounce on the best quarterback prospect in this year’s draft class. Zach Mettenberger is almost an afterthought with Winston available.. Quarterback
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Beasley is an explosive player with plenty of upside. The Jaguars like what he can bring to their pass rush and he immediately comes in to help.. Linebacker. Clemson. Vic Beasley. 3. player. 52
4. Oakland Raiders
4. player. 28. White may have the highest potential at wide receiver in this year’s draft class. The Raiders, true to tradition, won’t pass on an explosive receiver. It’s the smart move as they look to add pieces for Derek Carr to use.. Wide Receiver. West Virginia. Kevin White
5. Washington Redskins
6. New York Jets
Dante Fowler Jr.. 6. player. 30. The New York Jets bring in a gifted pass rusher and athlete, bolstering a defense that is suddenly looking very formidable.. Linebacker. Florida
7. Chicago Bears
Alabama. Amari Cooper. 7. player. 57. The Chicago Bears bring in another impressive receiver to work with Jay Cutler. Hopefully he brings some more wins with him, too.. Wide Receiver
8. Atlanta Falcons
The best pass rusher available goes to the Falcons who could use some pass rush help. Ray is an excellent player who can come in and contribute immediately.. Defensive End. Missouri. Shane Ray. 8. player. 44
9. New York Giants
Brandon Scherff. 9. player. 31. Shoring up the offensive line may be the best thing to help “Elite Eli” turn from a turnover machine into a Super Bowl winning quarterback again. Scherff is the best available in the 2015 NFL Draft.. Offensive Tackle. Iowa
10. St. Louis Rams
51. Todd Gurley and Nick Foles give the St. Louis Rams the best quarterback and running back combo they’ve had since Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner.. Running Back. Georgia. Todd Gurley. 10. player
