Solid pick, and we'll probably go Oline. If Melvin Gordon is available at #23 will our front office pass on him for another RB in the later rounds? I've always been a huge Joique Bell fan and Theo Riddick has a lot of potential to be a Darren Sproles esque back but what if one of them goes down? We still need to address the depth at RB IMO.

Coleman's from Indiana, but I think they're going to be a little risk-averse on RBs at the end of R1. Not a good track history for this team and RBs there.
It's fine, thanks for filling in. Collins is a better physical fit that Kevin Johnson. I don't think Johnson has the size and strength to play the run forcefully. If I was around, I would've gone off the board and taken Shaq Thompson.
I was talking to Jak on Twitter about his pick and had that name typed in to send to him and thought it would Piss you off if I suggested it and he selected him. lol
Thompson has been pretty clear that he is a linebacker and doesn't want to play safety. Would you guys use him as a linebacker?

Indians are somehow making me more depressed than the Browns.
He's not a good linebacker. Can't take on blockers, gets washed out. He's better in coverage and playing in space. So, yes, at safety.
Collins can be good if we teach him obviously a reach .
non football my sister has baby fever at 24. im not ready to be a uncle. ffs. where is life leading me.
I mean I went to college in Rhode Island so I can't root for Providence.
No sane GM address depth at RB in the first round. If you truly need a talent at the position, maybe you take one in the first, but even then I consider it a highly sketchy proposition.

With the 24th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals draft OLB Randy Gregory out of Nebraska. Considered by some pundits to be a top 5 pick in this year's draft and most others a top 10, this is outstanding value for one of the better prospect rushers in the draft and one with lots of upside and room for growth. The Cardinals have successfully managed both Michael Floyd and Tyrann Mathieu after their problems with alcohol and weed, respectfully and so Gregory's pot issues are less of a concern here with the type of role models and coaching staff present to ensure he doesn't take a misstep. The kid has explosive hips, speedy hands and multiple gears he can shift into to go after the QB or catch receivers that try to break away in the backfield. He hits the line hard with much aggression and continues to develop his rushing skills each season. He has all the tools to turn into a premier pass rusher in this league under the tutelage of the plethora of talented coaches that fall under Arians staff.
I had to rush the explanation so apologies if it's a little sloppy, a bit tied up at the moment but didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Panthers, your on the clock!

The 2015 NFL-GAF Mock Draft is now open for business.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State.
Yes, there are some maturity questions with Jameis Winston and he is (probably) a rapist shit. But the simple fact of the matter is that the Bucs are absolutely desperate for a franchise QB and Winston seems to be the guy Licht and Lovie like most. Winston has a solid arm and reportedly has a football IQ that is off the charts, and was very impressive at both the combine and FSU's pro day.
He has every chance to become a great QB in this league. But the Bucs are taking a risk here by going with a guy with his baggage. However, when you need a QB as badly as the Bucs do, that baggage seems a lot more manageable.
2. Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The Titans are confident that their young offense with Mettenberger at the helm will continue to grow with another year in the system and so will pass on the consensus second-best QB in the draft and select the best defensive player in the draft in Williams. The Titans' defense desperately needs a shake up and Williams will be a disruptive force along the defensive line which should help to improve the rest of the unit.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler Jr, OLB/DE, Florida
I'm saying Dante Fowler for the Jags. A lot of hub-bub about that pick for them and they continue to need to address pass rush on their line. They've got their QB in Bortles. You could argue he needs weapons so a Cooper or White could go here but a premium pass rusher at #3 makes more sense for me.
4. Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Outstanding work ethic with extremely polished route running skills for a college WR. Has the ability to make people miss after the catch. Has the ability to line up all over the field (Also been a knock on him because of Lame Kiffin's ability to get productively out of WRs). He had three years of productively in Alabama and should be able to step in and produce at a high level as a rookie.
5. Washington Redskins - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Mariotta to DC for the lulz (and so Gruden can help ruin another young QB) but the real pick should probably be Vic Beasley to give the Skins a potentially elite edge rusher to pair with Ryan Kerrigan and replace the departed Brian Orakpo. It's not a need pick but taking someone at a position of need (CB, WR) at this point would probably be a reach with the 5th pick.
6. New York Jets - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Jets select Marcus Mariota. The Jets have had a productive off-season thus far, making moves to shore up weaknesses in the secondary by bringing back Revis and Cromartie and their receiver core with their pick-up of Brandon Marshall. Their one glaring weakness remains the QB position. Geno Smith has proven that he cannot reach a level of maintainable consistency, an issue Chan Gailey is unlikely to be able to rectify. Ryan Fitzpatrick, another off-season signing for the Jets, is not a long term solution but will hopefully be able to take reps while Mariota adjusts to life at the professional level. (Shadyspace)
7. Chicago Bears - Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
With the 7th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Bears select WR Kevin White. Bears make the right choice by drafting BPA and not for need by reaching for Shane Ray, Dupree or Shelton. However, once again the Bears miss out by one pick yet again after Aaron Donald was picked right before them last year. Bears would have loved Mariota to sit behind Jay Cutler until Bears fans call for his head (so only a few games). White has the ability and talent to be a true #1 WR with elite speed to compliment Jeffrey after the Bears created a need trading Marshall. Bears have met with most of the first round WRs as well so I see this as a realistic choice.(minx88)
8. Atlanta Falcons - Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE Kentucky
As a Falcons fan our immediate need is a pass rusher. I don't know much about college players but from what I've been hearing and based on who's left, I would guess we would pick either Ray or Dupree whichever one is the better rusher.
9. New York Giants - Danny Shelton, DT/NT Washington
Offensive line is a need and Brandon Sherff is who *I* want and the possibility of a tackle like La'El Collins or Andrus Peat were discussed but if Shelton is there at 9, I think Jerry Reese pounces. The Giants haven't had the ability to defend the run consistently since perhaps 2010. They hit big with Big Hank from Ohio who came on big time last year but next to him is an aging Cullen Jenkins, a second year player in Bromley who could develop and little else. They signed Kenrick Ellis to be a run stuffer but if you have the opportunity to bring in Shelton who has that high ceiling as both a run stuffer and possibly a pass rusher with development, you take it. Especially considering that Spags will constantly be rotating guys in and out of the line and showing different looks/stunts.
10. St. Louis Rams - Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
I haven't followed the draft at all this year, but I can say for the Rams, they will take that top OL if he is still available. After that, all else being equal, they would take a corner since Cooper and White are gone
11. Minnesota Vikings - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) -BRESHAD PERRIMAN, WR, UCF
Thought the Browns weren't gonna go crazy this year in the 1st round after that 1st pick, did ya? Well, since the Browns' original target got snatched right before them with Collins going to the Chiefs, and the Browns unwilling to part ways with several draft picks to move up one spot after the Trent Truck fiasco, they go raw talent and upside with this freak of nature (also the OT pool is pretty deep). After not having drafted a WR in the first round since Braylon Edwards, this pick provides a legitimate deep threat after Gordon seemingly decided to throw his career and life away. With veterans Hartline and Bowe having signed recently aswell, suddenly this receiving corps could become a legitimate threat to defenses. With the right guidance, this kid could become something really special, at least that's what the Browns will be hoping for.
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Jones combines good size and freakish athleticism with sound technique and tops it off by being a high character guy. That ticks all the Chip Kelly boxes so the Eagles are thrilled to scoop him up and add him to a secondary that consists of Byron Maxwell, Brandon Boykin and Malcolm Jenkins. What was once the biggest weakness on the team is now a strength
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Ereck Flowers OT , Miami
Dalton needs someone to protect him while he loses another playoff game.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.
23. Detroit Lions - D.J Humphries, OT, Florida
This is a tough call. There's two big needs for Detroit: DT and OT. But the Lions have been making a buzz about moving Reiff back to RT, so they need someone on the left that can keep their (overpriced) QB upright and make the screen game work for Bell and presumably Tevin Coleman. Humphries has a history of injuries but he's the BPA at a position of need. That's usually how Detroit drafts.
24. Arizona Cardinals - Rnady Gregory, OLB, Nebraska
onsidered by some pundits to be a top 5 pick in this year's draft and most others a top 10, this is outstanding value for one of the better prospect rushers in the draft and one with lots of upside and room for growth. The Cardinals have successfully managed both Michael Floyd and Tyrann Mathieu after their problems with alcohol and weed, respectfully and so Gregory's pot issues are less of a concern here with the type of role models and coaching staff present to ensure he doesn't take a misstep. The kid has explosive hips, speedy hands and multiple gears he can shift into to go after the QB or catch receivers that try to break away in the backfield. He hits the line hard with much aggression and continues to develop his rushing skills each season. He has all the tools to turn into a premier pass rusher in this league under the tutelage of the plethora of talented coaches that fall under Arians staff.
25. Carolina Panthers - Grover Cleveland ON THE CLOCK
26. Baltimore Ravens - Blarry
27. Dallas Cowboys - Farooq, cashman
28. Denver Broncos - Godslay, MetalFearSolid
29. Indianapolis Colts - Spinluck
30. Green Bay Packers - Elfforkusu
31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle) -
32. New England Patriots - Dutch, Gata, Case
Rules:
1. You and your group should come to a consensus on who you genuinely think your team would take. Not who you want.
2. No trades.
3. Each person/group has a 4 hour limit to make their pick. If the pick is not in within that 4 hour time limit, then the remaining NFL-GAF members will make a consensus pick. If no consensus is made, I will make the pick as the person running the draft.
4. Each pick should be accompanied with a short synopsis of why the pick was made. Don't write a book. Just tell me why.
5. Your pick can be PM'd to me directly and I will add it. That can be done before your on the clock. If you don't think you'll be here. You can send me your top three choices as your time draws near. You don't have to post it in the thread if you're going to be away.

Once we have something, I'll let you know. Unless Grover hurries up and gets his damn pick in, in which case we'll just post it.

With the 25th pick in the NFL Draft the Panthers select
Landon Collins, SS, Alabama
Rather than reach for more dire needs, Gettleman takes the best player left on the board overall. Collins brings a physical, aggressive presence to the defensive secondary that will thrive in Sean McDermott's schemes. Collins has the physical tools and the instincts to be a reliable run-stopper and open field tackler from day 1, and has improved in pass coverage as well. Ultimately adding Collins represents great value at 25, and will bolster the young Legion of Whom for many years to come.
This pick would have been more interesting if Gurley was still on the board. I think Getts would legitimately take him no questions asked.

The 2015 NFL-GAF Mock Draft is now open for business.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State.
Yes, there are some maturity questions with Jameis Winston and he is (probably) a rapist shit. But the simple fact of the matter is that the Bucs are absolutely desperate for a franchise QB and Winston seems to be the guy Licht and Lovie like most. Winston has a solid arm and reportedly has a football IQ that is off the charts, and was very impressive at both the combine and FSU's pro day.
He has every chance to become a great QB in this league. But the Bucs are taking a risk here by going with a guy with his baggage. However, when you need a QB as badly as the Bucs do, that baggage seems a lot more manageable.
2. Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The Titans are confident that their young offense with Mettenberger at the helm will continue to grow with another year in the system and so will pass on the consensus second-best QB in the draft and select the best defensive player in the draft in Williams. The Titans' defense desperately needs a shake up and Williams will be a disruptive force along the defensive line which should help to improve the rest of the unit.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler Jr, OLB/DE, Florida
I'm saying Dante Fowler for the Jags. A lot of hub-bub about that pick for them and they continue to need to address pass rush on their line. They've got their QB in Bortles. You could argue he needs weapons so a Cooper or White could go here but a premium pass rusher at #3 makes more sense for me.
4. Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Outstanding work ethic with extremely polished route running skills for a college WR. Has the ability to make people miss after the catch. Has the ability to line up all over the field (Also been a knock on him because of Lame Kiffin's ability to get productively out of WRs). He had three years of productively in Alabama and should be able to step in and produce at a high level as a rookie.
5. Washington Redskins - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Mariotta to DC for the lulz (and so Gruden can help ruin another young QB) but the real pick should probably be Vic Beasley to give the Skins a potentially elite edge rusher to pair with Ryan Kerrigan and replace the departed Brian Orakpo. It's not a need pick but taking someone at a position of need (CB, WR) at this point would probably be a reach with the 5th pick.
6. New York Jets - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Jets select Marcus Mariota. The Jets have had a productive off-season thus far, making moves to shore up weaknesses in the secondary by bringing back Revis and Cromartie and their receiver core with their pick-up of Brandon Marshall. Their one glaring weakness remains the QB position. Geno Smith has proven that he cannot reach a level of maintainable consistency, an issue Chan Gailey is unlikely to be able to rectify. Ryan Fitzpatrick, another off-season signing for the Jets, is not a long term solution but will hopefully be able to take reps while Mariota adjusts to life at the professional level. (Shadyspace)
7. Chicago Bears - Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
With the 7th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Bears select WR Kevin White. Bears make the right choice by drafting BPA and not for need by reaching for Shane Ray, Dupree or Shelton. However, once again the Bears miss out by one pick yet again after Aaron Donald was picked right before them last year. Bears would have loved Mariota to sit behind Jay Cutler until Bears fans call for his head (so only a few games). White has the ability and talent to be a true #1 WR with elite speed to compliment Jeffrey after the Bears created a need trading Marshall. Bears have met with most of the first round WRs as well so I see this as a realistic choice.(minx88)
8. Atlanta Falcons - Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE Kentucky
As a Falcons fan our immediate need is a pass rusher. I don't know much about college players but from what I've been hearing and based on who's left, I would guess we would pick either Ray or Dupree whichever one is the better rusher.
9. New York Giants - Danny Shelton, DT/NT Washington
Offensive line is a need and Brandon Sherff is who *I* want and the possibility of a tackle like La'El Collins or Andrus Peat were discussed but if Shelton is there at 9, I think Jerry Reese pounces. The Giants haven't had the ability to defend the run consistently since perhaps 2010. They hit big with Big Hank from Ohio who came on big time last year but next to him is an aging Cullen Jenkins, a second year player in Bromley who could develop and little else. They signed Kenrick Ellis to be a run stuffer but if you have the opportunity to bring in Shelton who has that high ceiling as both a run stuffer and possibly a pass rusher with development, you take it. Especially considering that Spags will constantly be rotating guys in and out of the line and showing different looks/stunts.
10. St. Louis Rams - Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
I haven't followed the draft at all this year, but I can say for the Rams, they will take that top OL if he is still available. After that, all else being equal, they would take a corner since Cooper and White are gone
11. Minnesota Vikings - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) -BRESHAD PERRIMAN, WR, UCF
Thought the Browns weren't gonna go crazy this year in the 1st round after that 1st pick, did ya? Well, since the Browns' original target got snatched right before them with Collins going to the Chiefs, and the Browns unwilling to part ways with several draft picks to move up one spot after the Trent Truck fiasco, they go raw talent and upside with this freak of nature (also the OT pool is pretty deep). After not having drafted a WR in the first round since Braylon Edwards, this pick provides a legitimate deep threat after Gordon seemingly decided to throw his career and life away. With veterans Hartline and Bowe having signed recently aswell, suddenly this receiving corps could become a legitimate threat to defenses. With the right guidance, this kid could become something really special, at least that's what the Browns will be hoping for.
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Jones combines good size and freakish athleticism with sound technique and tops it off by being a high character guy. That ticks all the Chip Kelly boxes so the Eagles are thrilled to scoop him up and add him to a secondary that consists of Byron Maxwell, Brandon Boykin and Malcolm Jenkins. What was once the biggest weakness on the team is now a strength
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Ereck Flowers OT , Miami
Dalton needs someone to protect him while he loses another playoff game.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.
23. Detroit Lions - D.J Humphries, OT, Florida
This is a tough call. There's two big needs for Detroit: DT and OT. But the Lions have been making a buzz about moving Reiff back to RT, so they need someone on the left that can keep their (overpriced) QB upright and make the screen game work for Bell and presumably Tevin Coleman. Humphries has a history of injuries but he's the BPA at a position of need. That's usually how Detroit drafts.
24. Arizona Cardinals - Randy Gregory, OLB, Nebraska
Considered by some pundits to be a top 5 pick in this year's draft and most others a top 10, this is outstanding value for one of the better prospect rushers in the draft and one with lots of upside and room for growth. The Cardinals have successfully managed both Michael Floyd and Tyrann Mathieu after their problems with alcohol and weed, respectfully and so Gregory's pot issues are less of a concern here with the type of role models and coaching staff present to ensure he doesn't take a misstep. The kid has explosive hips, speedy hands and multiple gears he can shift into to go after the QB or catch receivers that try to break away in the backfield. He hits the line hard with much aggression and continues to develop his rushing skills each season. He has all the tools to turn into a premier pass rusher in this league under the tutelage of the plethora of talented coaches that fall under Arians staff.
25. Carolina Panthers - Landon Collins, SS, Alabama
Rather than reach for more dire needs, Gettleman takes the best player left on the board overall. Collins brings a physical, aggressive presence to the defensive secondary that will thrive in Sean McDermott's schemes. Collins has the physical tools and the instincts to be a reliable run-stopper and open field tackler from day 1, and has improved in pass coverage as well. Ultimately adding Collins represents great value at 25, and will bolster the young Legion of Whom for many years to come.
26. Baltimore Ravens - Blarry ON THE CLOCK
27. Dallas Cowboys - Farooq, cashman
28. Denver Broncos - Godslay, MetalFearSolid
29. Indianapolis Colts - Spinluck
30. Green Bay Packers - Elfforkusu
31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle) -
32. New England Patriots - Dutch, Gata, Case
Rules:
1. You and your group should come to a consensus on who you genuinely think your team would take. Not who you want.
2. No trades.
3. Each person/group has a 4 hour limit to make their pick. If the pick is not in within that 4 hour time limit, then the remaining NFL-GAF members will make a consensus pick. If no consensus is made, I will make the pick as the person running the draft.
4. Each pick should be accompanied with a short synopsis of why the pick was made. Don't write a book. Just tell me why.
5. Your pick can be PM'd to me directly and I will add it. That can be done before your on the clock. If you don't think you'll be here. You can send me your top three choices as your time draws near. You don't have to post it in the thread if you're going to be away.
-------------------------------------------------
Fixes made at squall's request. Ratbirds go
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State.
Yes, there are some maturity questions with Jameis Winston and he is (probably) a rapist shit. But the simple fact of the matter is that the Bucs are absolutely desperate for a franchise QB and Winston seems to be the guy Licht and Lovie like most. Winston has a solid arm and reportedly has a football IQ that is off the charts, and was very impressive at both the combine and FSU's pro day.
He has every chance to become a great QB in this league. But the Bucs are taking a risk here by going with a guy with his baggage. However, when you need a QB as badly as the Bucs do, that baggage seems a lot more manageable.
2. Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams, DT, USC
The Titans are confident that their young offense with Mettenberger at the helm will continue to grow with another year in the system and so will pass on the consensus second-best QB in the draft and select the best defensive player in the draft in Williams. The Titans' defense desperately needs a shake up and Williams will be a disruptive force along the defensive line which should help to improve the rest of the unit.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler Jr, OLB/DE, Florida
I'm saying Dante Fowler for the Jags. A lot of hub-bub about that pick for them and they continue to need to address pass rush on their line. They've got their QB in Bortles. You could argue he needs weapons so a Cooper or White could go here but a premium pass rusher at #3 makes more sense for me.
4. Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Outstanding work ethic with extremely polished route running skills for a college WR. Has the ability to make people miss after the catch. Has the ability to line up all over the field (Also been a knock on him because of Lame Kiffin's ability to get productively out of WRs). He had three years of productively in Alabama and should be able to step in and produce at a high level as a rookie.
5. Washington Redskins - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Mariotta to DC for the lulz (and so Gruden can help ruin another young QB) but the real pick should probably be Vic Beasley to give the Skins a potentially elite edge rusher to pair with Ryan Kerrigan and replace the departed Brian Orakpo. It's not a need pick but taking someone at a position of need (CB, WR) at this point would probably be a reach with the 5th pick.
6. New York Jets - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Jets select Marcus Mariota. The Jets have had a productive off-season thus far, making moves to shore up weaknesses in the secondary by bringing back Revis and Cromartie and their receiver core with their pick-up of Brandon Marshall. Their one glaring weakness remains the QB position. Geno Smith has proven that he cannot reach a level of maintainable consistency, an issue Chan Gailey is unlikely to be able to rectify. Ryan Fitzpatrick, another off-season signing for the Jets, is not a long term solution but will hopefully be able to take reps while Mariota adjusts to life at the professional level. (Shadyspace)

However, once again the Bears miss out by one pick yet again after Aaron Donald was picked right before them last year. Bears would have loved Mariota to sit behind Jay Cutler until Bears fans call for his head (so only a few games).

Bears have met with most of the first round WRs as well so I see this as a realistic choice.(minx88)

With the 26th pick in the 2015 NFL-GAF Mock draft, the Baltimore Ravens select....
Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State
Ravens don't have a great history of taking wide receivers in the first round (Travis Taylor, Mark Clayton), but Jaelen Strong will be the pick. Torrey Smith is gone and Strong won't replace him as a burner, but he'll fill in the need the Ravens have at wide receiver. He's not the fastest, but either was Anquan Boldin. Strong has the physical tools to be Boldin, and versatility to move all over the field. If he can polish up some of his route running skills, with his size and strength, he would make a great #1. If only the Ravens had a competent QB to get him the ball.
Will Strong continue the Ravens success with Arizona State players, following Terrell Suggs and Todd Heap?
Yes. He will. Superbowl, bitches.

cashman is unfortunately unavailable (#freecashman, #greatinjustice, #dezcaugththeball), so I will be making the pick for the Cowboys.
With the 27th pick of the 2015 draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Kevin Johnson CB, Wake Forest.
The Cowboys have uncertainty at cornerback despite heavy investment in the position. Both Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne have been disappointments and in the case of Claiborne, the Cowboys would feel lucky to get any production out of him at all. This is where Kevin Johnson can help address an obvious need. Johnson possesses above average height for the position, has great length, athleticism, and natural cover skills. He has a smooth pedal, is great at anticipating routes, reading and reacting, and excellent plant and drive explosiveness to close on the ball. Has experience in press, off-man, and playing zone coverage. He is a great fit for the Cowboys and what they like to run.

Broncos are on the clock.
So as to not fill the page with giant text blobs, I'll wait to update the last few picks on the draft board until after Denver's selection.
