NFL Draft 2015: Updated Selection Order Following Divisional Round

All but four NFL franchises will begin focusing more exclusively on the 2015 draft that commences on April 30 following Sunday's conclusion of the divisional-round playoffs.

Those who didn't reach the postseason have already hit the ground running. There are still multiple coaching and general manager vacancies to fill and the frenzy that is free agency, which will reshape organizational philosophies and likely have major draft implications.

Among predraft workouts, interviews and plenty of time overall to analyze every detail, there is a ton of uncertainty as to how the draft will shake out until it starts.

What is almost fully crystallized is the first-round order, making it a bit easier to figure out how teams might choose. Below is a look at the updated list of picks for the opening round after the conclusion of Sunday's divisional-round action. 

Pick	Team
1	Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2	Tennessee Titans
3	Jacksonville Jaguars
4	Oakland Raiders
5	Washington Redskins
6	New York Jets
7	Chicago Bears
8	Atlanta Falcons
9	New York Giants
10	St. Louis Rams
11	Minnesota Vikings
12	Cleveland Browns
13	New Orleans Saints
14	Miami Dolphins
15	San Francisco 49ers
16	Houston Texans
17	San Diego Chargers
18	Kansas City Chiefs
19	Cleveland Browns (via Buffalo)
20	Philadelphia Eagles
21	Cincinnati Bengals
22	Pittsburgh Steelers
23	Detroit Lions
24	Arizona Cardinals
25	Carolina Panthers
26	Baltimore Ravens

Teams with Most at Stake in 2015 Draft

Cleveland Browns

Armed with two first-round picks in the previous draft, Browns general manager Ray Farmer wheeled and dealed his way around to land cornerback Justin Gilbert and quarterback Johnny Manziel. 

Undrafted rookie K'Waun Williams outplayed Gilbert by a mile and created little need for him, and Gilbert wasn't even the next man up when Williams was hurt. Manziel played a game and a little less than a half and looked like he didn't belong in the NFL.

That didn't stop Farmer from publicly defending Manziel in late December, via Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot: "I do think he can develop into a solid starter in this league, yes. I think the sample size that's available is small, and to that end we all got to be patient. I think there is an opportunity for the guy, it's up to him to make those changes, but I think the talent is in his body to accomplish that."

ESPN Cleveland's Tony Grossi weighed in on how the supremely talented Gilbert has some promise, as opposed to Manziel's repeated features in the tabloids:

Farmer has done a commendable job building the Browns roster, but he can't miss as badly as he may have in his first draft on Day 1. Glaring needs exist on the defensive line and in the receiving corps.

With clear-cut chances to grab Sammy Watkins and Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014, Cleveland acquired Buffalo's first-round pick instead of taking Watkins and chose Gilbert over Beckham. Josh Gordon's future is very much in question, and diminutive slot wideout Andrew Hawkins is the only other viable receiver.

The departure of offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan also creates more reason to worry about Manziel.

Years of ineptitude, losing and dysfunction preceded Farmer, coach Mike Pettine and the Browns' current regime. They will be under the microscope as much as any team due to the potential purchasing power they possess and the possibility to land two blue-chip players who could be instant contributors.

An unclear QB situation threatens to cause Cleveland to take a step back in 2015. It's on Farmer to stock Pettine with better personnel, and his two first-round choices will be extremely critical to achieving that objective.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The biggest decision of the draft is the first that Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht and Co. will make. Oregon's Marcus Mariota is an intriguing dual-threat playmaker, but Florida State star Jameis Winston has a Heisman Trophy of his own and has been groomed as a pro-style passer.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller raises a strong point about the futures of Mariota and Winston:

Mariota was instrumental in defeating Winston's Seminoles 59-20 in the Rose Bowl, so that has to weigh a lot on evaluators' minds.

The transition to the pros may be bumpier for Mariota. However, his elite mobility, improvisation, quick decision-making and release are assets that should help him overcome the pitfalls the adjustment will bring.

Missing on a top draft choice at the game's most important position can be devastating and set a franchise back for years to come. Winston has a lot of off-field red flags to be worried about, while Mariota will have a much more complicated playbook to master.

All factors considered, Licht should pull the trigger on Mariota due to his high ceiling and cleaner public image.

The NFC South has Drew Brees, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan as opposing QBs, and the Bucs' current depth chart of Josh McCown and Mike Glennon pales in comparison. With weapons like Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson at his disposal, Mariota could be a top-15 player at his position sooner rather than later.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Entering the third year of the Gus Bradley-David Caldwell era in Jacksonville, the team has won just seven total games under their leadership.

A big step forward in arguably the weakest division, the AFC South, is needed for the Jaguars to avoid a potential authoritative overhaul. After investing heavily on offense in the last draft, it's up to Caldwell to give Bradley better defenders.

Depending on whether the Bucs or Titans decide to choose Mariota or Winston, it's possible Jacksonville winds up with the best defensive player on its draft board.

That could be either USC star defensive tackle Leonard Williams or Nebraska pass-rusher Randy Gregory.

The overarching concern is with regard to Blake Bortles, whom Caldwell chose No. 3 overall in 2014. After a stupendous preseason, Bortles' mechanical flaws resurfaced, and his limited arm talent was exposed.

It's still a bit early to pull the plug on Bortles, and everyone in the Jags organization appears to be on board with him as the future face of the franchise. However, Caldwell needs to do all he can to improve Bortles' supporting cast in addition to bolstering the NFL's 26th-ranked scoring defense.

Caldwell has a tall task ahead of him, which he may have exacerbated by reaching a bit for Bortles last year.

Significant progress is necessary if Caldwell and Bradley want to have any type of job security entering the 2015 offseason, though. Due to the myriad of needs Jacksonville has, Caldwell must lock down a top-tier prospect like Williams or Gregory to get the Jags on track to building a more physical identity.
