NFL Draft Order 2015: Full List of Selections for Entire Draft

Nate LoopFeb 2, 2015

With the completion of Super Bowl 2015, in which the New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in a thriller that will go down in history for one of the craziest finishes of all time, the 2015 NFL draft order is mostly complete.

Indeed, all 32 teams are now officially in offseason mode. The NFL conversation turns immediately to the future, with the looming free-agency period, contract discussions, the combine and the draft dominating the discussion.

It's fairly safe to say only Patriots fans will be spending much time discussing the season that was at this point.

Seattle's Draft Needs

No surprise here, really, but the Seahawks don't have too much in the way of pressing draft needs. The defense is fantastic, Russell Wilson is a stud and Marshawn Lynch is, well, a beast.

The one unit that surely needs a shot in the arm is the pass-catching corps. Seattle's biggest threat after the Percy Harvin trade was Doug Baldwin, a solid wideout who finished 42nd in receiving yards and scored just three touchdowns in the regular season. This team desperately needs a future No. 1 to round out the offense.

Tight end is also a position of need for this team. Luke Willson was held without a catch in the Super Bowl, and Cooper Helfet doesn't show much upside at this position.

Minnesota's Maxx Williams is far and away the best tight end in the 2015 class, but he could be a bit of a reach at the end of the first round. Another intriguing possibility for Seattle is Michigan wideout Devin Funchess, a 6'5" monster of a receiver who has experience as both a tight end and a receiver split out wide. He reeled in 62 catches for 722 yards and four touchdowns as a junior in 2014.

ESPN Insider Mel Kiper Jr. calls him a matchup nightmare:

"

It's not really fair to call Funchess a tight end based on where he typically lines up, but at more than 6-foot-4 and at about 235 pounds with the ability to simply overpower most cornerbacks, he's not exactly a flanker, either. What I'd call him is a perpetual matchup problem, a guy you can move around, with the quickness to run crisp routes and easily create space if linebackers try to cover him and enough size to make cornerbacks have to go through him for the ball.

"

Another area in possible need of an upgrade is the Seahawks pass rush. Michael Bennett is the only player of note in Seattle's pass rush. The 'Hawks sacked Tom Brady just once in the Super Bowl and ranked 20th in the league in sacks during the regular season.

This may sound ludicrous, but the Seahawks could also use help at cornerback. According to ESPN's John Clayton, Richard Sherman played the Super Bowl with torn elbow ligaments and could need Tommy John surgery this offseason.

Couple that with Jeremy Lane's gruesome Super Bowl knock, picked up after a first-quarter interception of Brady and described as a serious left forearm injury, per ESPN.com's Terry Blount, and the 'Hawks could be light at corner heading into 2015.

However, the recovery process of both players is yet to be determined, and it's still highly unlikely the Seahawks will be addressing the secondary early on in the draft. Look for them to draft a wideout or a tight end and provide Wilson with another weapon in the passing game.

Potential first-round picks: Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn; Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan; Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota

New England's Draft Needs

The Patriots' needs are similar to those of the Seahawks. They too could use a deep threat at wide receiver. Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola are fine in a short-passing scheme, but they don't have the ability to make plays downfield. The only player on the current roster who fits that mold is Brandon LaFell, and 46 of his 74 receptions this year came on throws that traveled less than 10 yards downfield, per ESPN.com.

Luckily for the Pats, wide receiver figures to be a deep position group in this year's draft. SB Nation's Dan Kadar noted the 2015 wide receiver class could be nearly as strong as the 2014 group, and he passed along his take on a few wideouts in consideration for late first-round picks:

"

Devin Funchess of Michigan and Jaelen Strong of Arizona State will both be in contention for first-round placement as well.  Dorial Green-Beckham is positioned at No. 6 solely due to potential. He's sitting out the season after being dismissed from Missouri. There are a lot of off-field issues with Green-Beckham, but teams will still be intrigued by his size.

"

Dorial Green-Beckham's off-field issues are well documented, but Bill Belichick is the master of turning problem players into quietly efficient studs. Green-Beckham, a 6'6", 225-pound athletic marvel, practiced all season with Oklahoma, so there shouldn't be a problem with him in terms of fitness.

As a member of Missouri in 2013, he finished with 59 catches for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns. In terms of pure talent, Green-Beckham's the real deal.

With several teams likely to pass on him due to character concerns, he could be a late-first-round steal.

The Patriots, and Seattle for that matter, could use help on the offensive line as well. Depth at offensive tackle is a concern for both teams.

The Patriots could also be looking at a replacement for the mammoth Vince Wilfork in the middle of the defensive line. A longtime anchor for Pats defenses, Wilfork will turn 34 next season and has slowed down with each passing year. New blood at this position would be a smart move for New England.

In addition, the team could use help at running back. A solid complementary back for the likes of LeGarrette Blount would be a nice fit for this team. Running backs hardly get first-round grades these days, but New England has the luxury of sitting back at the end of the first round and seeing how the draft unfolds.

If positions of need are depleted by the end of the first round, the Patriots could go with a tailback. One possibility is Georgia phenom Todd Gurley, a supremely talented athlete who could slip due to injury concerns. Belichick might not be crazy about the value of a pick like Gurley at that spot in the draft, but then again, few have ever been able to accurately forecast the genius coach's decisions.

Potential first-round picks: Jordan Phillips, DT, Oklahoma; Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn; Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia; Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
