2015 NFL Mock Draft: Latest Picks 2 Weeks into Free Agency

Every team in the NFL is looking forward to the talent boost the comes from the NFL draft. 2015's draft isn't as deep as past drafts in terms of instant contributors, but it might have more long-term potential out of any draft in the past decade.

The teams that need the most help should get instant-impact players throughout it easily, while the teams farther down in the draft should be able to get players who fill roles early before developing into better long-term starters for their new teams.

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Jameis Winston, Florida State

Tampa's obvious need is a quarterback, and Jameis Winston is the best one in the draft. Winston fits new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's scheme well and should be an instant impact for the Buccaneers. They would have to address offensive line later in the draft, but Winston would be set up well with solid targets in wide receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins early on.

2. Tennessee Titans: QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon

Marcus Mariota is the second-best quarterback in the draft and a true franchise-caliber quarterback. In February, the Titans appeared noncommittal on starting Zach Mettenberger, and no one in their right mind would start him if they had the shot at Mariota. The Titans addressing quarterback after Jake Locker failed to become the long-term starter is essential for their success.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: "Leo" Dante Fowler, Florida

The biggest need for the Jaguars is easily their Leo pass-rushing defensive end. Dante Fowler is a perfect fit for the role and was recruited to Florida specifically to play a similar role to that Leo spot. Fowler is arguably the best player in the entire class, and his ability to rush the passer with his hand in the dirt or standing up makes him look comparable to Justin Houston or Terrell Suggs.

4. Oakland Raiders: DT Leonard Williams, USC

Another pick where the team could say that they got arguably the best player in the draft would be Leonard Williams to the Raiders. Williams is a perfect fit for the 3-technique defensive tackle next to new Raider Dan Williams. By having their own version of the Williams Wall, the Raiders defense could protect Curtis Lofton in the middle and have a much-improved defensive front seven.

5. Washington: OLB Randy Gregory, Nebraska

Washington lost Brian Orakpo to free agency and needs to replace him with a similar talent at outside linebacker. Randy Gregory is athletically similar to the former Washington linebacker and could develop into an even better pass-rusher. His long-term fit is closer to that of Simeon Rice or John Abraham, and should he realize his potential, that could be scary coming off the edge.

6. New York Jets: OL Brandon Scherff, Iowa

The Jets need some help to keep Geno Smith upright after they went out and got him some new targets. Willie Colon is getting older, and so is D'Brickashaw Ferguson. On top of that, the Jets have a pair of mediocre guards competing for the right guard spot in Brian Winters and James Carpenter. Scherff could start out as a guard and then move out to tackle once Ferguson retires.

7. Chicago Bears: WR Amari Cooper, Alabama

After trading away Brandon Marshall to the Jets, the Bears need another receiver to help take their offense to another level. Since Jay Cutler has a cannon, why not get one of the fastest receivers in the draft to give Cutler that ideal deep option in Amari Cooper. Cooper isn't just a deep threat. He's one of the most complete receivers in this year's draft and could be a true No. 1 for years to come.

8. Atlanta Falcons: Leo Vic Beasley, Clemson

The Falcons don't have a true Leo defensive end on their roster at all. Vic Beasley is a ridiculously good athlete and could be a 12- to 15-sack guy on a regular basis within the confines of new head coach Dan Quinn's defense. Add in the local ties, and Beasley could be arguably the best fit for the Falcons in the entire 2015 NFL draft.

9. New York Giants: OT T.J. Clemmings, Pittsburgh

The Giants have to get better along the offensive line for the long term. While they don't have an opening along the offensive line outside of left guard due to John Jerry's mediocrity, they would be smart to draft T.J. Clemmings to compete for a starting job at guard as a rookie while they develop him to play left tackle long term. They could also move Justin Pugh to guard and have Clemmings play right tackle.

10. St. Louis Rams: OT La'El Collins, LSU

The Rams need to develop true talent along their offensive line and protect new quarterback Nick Foles if they want to have any sort of success in 2015 and beyond. La'El Collins is a great fit for their left tackle role and could allow last year's No. 2 overall pick, Greg Robinson, play right tackle. With Rodger Saffold and Barrett Jones also penciled in at starters, the only remaining need up front would be right guard.

11. Minnesota Vikings: DE Alvin "Bud" Dupree, Kentucky

Despite taking Anthony Barr in 2014, the Vikings still need a long-term solution at defensive end. Barr is more of a linebacker in head coach Mike Zimmer's scheme. Zimmer needs defensive ends who fit for him for the long term, and Bud Dupree is definitely that tall, long pass-rusher who fills that need for him. With Brian Robison and Everson Griffen starting, Dupree could take a backseat while still having a role in 2015.

12. Cleveland Browns: WR Kevin White, West Virginia

With Josh Gordon continuing to be an unreliable component in the offense due to his multiple suspensions, the Browns need someone who can be their long-term No. 1 wide receiver. Kevin White is the best athlete at receiver in the draft but is extremely unpolished. Should the Browns take him, they would understand that he's limited right now but has the room to develop into a great one.

13. New Orleans Saints: WR DeVante Parker, Louisville

The Saints traded away their best offensive weapon on the first day of free agency when they sent Jimmy Graham to Seattle. They have to make up for his loss by bringing in a true No. 1 to complement Brandin Cooks within their offense, and DeVante Parker would be the best fit for that role. He was a No. 1 for Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville and looked like a top-10 pick up until he had an injury his senior year.

14. Miami Dolphins: LB Shaq Thompson, Washington

Jelani Jenkins. Koa Misi. Chris McCain/Jordan Tripp/Kelvin Sheppard. One of these things is not like the other. Jenkins and Misi are legitimate NFL linebackers. The other group isn't worthy of starting. Shaq Thompson can play a perfect Spur-style linebacker for the Dolphins where he would be an ideal coverage linebacker who matches up on tight ends and running backs.

15. San Francisco 49ers: LB Eric Kendricks, UCLA

After losing Patrick Willis and Chris Borland to retirements and with NaVorro Bowman coming off a major injury, the 49ers need to add a true talent at inside linebacker. Eric Kendricks is a great coverage linebacker who is aggressive against the run and fits the 3-4 scheme that the 49ers will run under new head coach Jim Tomsula and defensive coordinator Eric Mangini.

16. Houston Texans: DL Arik Armstead, Oregon

Houston was a tough team to project. However, Arik Armstead would be way too much for them to pass up. Sure, Jared Crick is a talented edge-setter, but Armstead has the potential to be a Richard Seymour type in the 3-4. He can eat blockers but also attack the passer when he needs to. He also does well when he lines up in the A-gap on certain sets and could be a scary good interior rusher next to Jadeveon Clowney.

17. San Diego Chargers: DL Malcom Brown, Texas

San Diego needs a three-down defensive lineman who can attack the inside the same way that Dontari Poe does for the Chiefs. Malcom Brown isn't the same kind of physical specimen that Poe is, but few guys are that. He is someone who can start at nose tackle for the Chargers, though, while still playing an A-gap penetrator on third downs to force some double teams.

18. Kansas City Chiefs: CB Trae Waynes, Michigan State

Kansas City's biggest need is cornerback. Phillip Gaines might be talented, but they need to put someone across from him who could be the long-term answer as a left cornerback. Trae Waynes from Michigan State is arguably the best cornerback in the draft this year. He could be the guy, as he's an amazing athlete. He needs to improve technique a bit, though.

19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo): DE Preston Smith, Mississippi State

Cleveland needs a starting-caliber defensive end for their 3-4 sets to line up across from Desmond Bryant. Preston Smith is a great fit for a 5-technique role that would have him slide inside to 3-technique or even 1-technique when the Browns slide to a nickel formation. The Mississippi State player has shown an ability to attack the passer from the interior of the line better than any Brown did in 2014.

20. Philadelphia Eagles: QB Brett Hundley, UCLA

The Eagles don't have a franchise quarterback under contract past 2015 and may not even consider Sam Bradford that guy. Normally, Brett Hundley would fall out of the first round, but his best fit is for the Eagles to take him. He would be great in Chip Kelly's scheme and is still that malleable ball of clay with great tools. His strong arm, prototypical size and above-average football intelligence are assets to work with.

21. Cincinnati Bengals: OT Andrus Peat, Stanford

Andrew Whitworth is entering his 10th NFL season and turns 34 by the end of the 2015 season. He's nearing the end of his career, and the Bengals need to be smart about it and bring in someone who can step right up and replace him on the left side, if need be. Andrus Peat has the tools to be an ideal left tackle and should fit in with the Bengals line well. He wouldn't start in 2015 but could in 2016 easily.

22. Pittsburgh Steelers: OLB Shane Ray, Missouri

The Steelers don't tend to care about combine or pro-day numbers. They seem to only care about college production and projection into their pro scheme. Shane Ray was productive in college and projects well as a linebacker within the Steelers' scheme. With Jarvis Jones potentially being a bust and James Harrison coming back to potentially start, Ray would be some much needed talent at outside linebacker.

23. Detroit Lions: DT Danny Shelton, Washington

The Lions lost Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley in free agency. They did trade for Haloti Ngata, but they need someone who is quick and can play the 1-technique so that Ngata can do his damage in his more comfortable 3-technique role. Danny Shelton could be that guy, as he's a big-bodied player in a similar mold to Vince Wilfork. With Shelton and Ngata inside, the Lions might have upgraded from Suh and Fairley.

24. Arizona Cardinals: OLB Eli Harold, Virginia

The Arizona Cardinals have one edge-rusher worth writing home about, and that's the inconsistent Alex Okafor. Taking Eli Harold in the first round to be their starter at weak-outside linebacker would be the best move for them to make. Harold is an athletic talent who needs to get his technique up before he makes his absolute best impact. But if he develops, he's a regular 10-sack guy every year.

25. Carolina Panthers: OT Jake Fisher, Oregon

Nate Chandler has no business starting at left tackle for any team in the NFL. Michael Oher doesn't either. The Panthers need to protect the top talent on their team in Cam Newton. Jake Fisher is an excellent left tackle with quick feet and nearly perfect technique. He is an excellent zone-style blocker in the run game. However, the best aspect of his game is his pass blocking—something the Panthers have lacked.

26. Baltimore Ravens: WR Jaelen Strong, Arizona State

After losing Torrey Smith to the 49ers, the Ravens need to bring in someone who can start opposite Steve Smith and learn how to play the No. 1 role by the time Smith retires. Jaelen Strong is a great fit for that, as he's very similar to the Bears' Alshon Jeffery. He's a big-bodied receiver who isn't afraid to go up and get the ball in traffic and should be a long-term starter for the Ravens.

27. Dallas Cowboys: DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa, UCLA

After seeing Justin Tuck across from them for years, the Dallas Cowboys should look into bringing in their own version of him. Owa Odighizuwa, or Diggie, is one of the best base defensive ends in the draft. He can set the edge well and is a talented interior pass-rusher. By putting Diggie out there at left defensive end and letting Demarcus Lawrence play right end, the Cowboys could improve pass rush drastically.

28. Denver Broncos: C Cam Erving, Florida State

Manny Ramirez is playing out of position at center, and the Broncos could fix that error by taking Cam Ervin and plugging him into the lineup there. This would allow Ramirez to move back to his more natural left guard position and would make the Broncos line stronger as a whole. By allowing Peyton Manning to be even more protected, the Broncos could finally take the next step.

29. Indianapolis Colts: CB Marcus Peters, Washington

The Colts need someone to be a long-term option as their No. 1 corner. However, they could also use some help right now, as their No. 2 corner is the mediocre Greg Toler. Marcus Peters has had some issues off the field, but on the field, he's arguably the best coverage cornerback in the draft. Peters should be able to fit in well with a Colts defense that attacks the ball.

30. Green Bay Packers: NT Eddie Goldman, Florida State

Green Bay had a competent nose tackle in 2014 when Letroy Guion finally stepped up. But he isn't currently under contract with the Packers, and they could improve from him. Eddie Goldman is a great fit for a nose tackle in the 3-4 scheme that the Packers have been running for the past decade. He can two-gap effectively and should be able to help free up Datone Jones and Mike Daniels for single teams on the outside.

31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle): OL Ereck Flowers, Miami (FL)

The Saints traded away Ben Grubbs after he underperformed in the 2014 season. They need to replace him with someone who could be at least average for the 2015 season and dominating beyond that. The 6'6", 329-pound Ereck Flowers out of Miami is a great fit for the left guard spot in New Orleans and should be able to shore up the left side of an offensive line also featuring Terron Armstead and Max Unger.

32. New England Patriots: RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin

The New England Patriots don't have a feature back at all. And while this might be a bit of a nit-picky thing to point out about the defending Super Bowl champ, Bill Belichick seems to want to find the next market inefficiency at all times. Right now, that's zone-style running backs like Melvin Gordon. Gordon is an ideal fit for the Patriots scheme and could complement the already-excellent passing offense.
