2015 NFL Draft Order: List of Picks and Selections for All 7 Rounds

After an elongated wait period filled with the pageantry that so typically defines the predraft process, we're nearly here. Three days separate us from the 2015 NFL draft, a day that will almost certainly see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Florida State's Jameis Winston.

After that, though? It's anyone's guess. The Tennessee Titans appear to be relishing in their status as a swing pick, with no one quite sure whether they'll take Oregon's Marcus Mariota, trade back so someone else can take the Heisman Trophy winner or go with another position entirely.

Tennessee's decision-making will likely inform the remainder of the first round, with trade scenarios opening wide if the Titans decide to pass on Mariota. All of this makes for what should be a wildly intriguing kickoff to three days of action in Chicago.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the complete selection order and go over some of the biggest storylines lingering as we head into Thursday night.

Lingering Questions

Will Jameis Winston Become a Franchise Quarterback?

Mark Wallheiser/Associated Press

Notice the phrasing. The question is not can he become a franchise signal-caller. We all know he has the ability. Winston is the most physically gifted passer in this class and is a vastly underrated football mind, far superior to Mariota (right now) at diagramming plays and understanding the intricacies of a pro-style offense.

At issue is whether he will actually make the transition. Winston took one step forward and two steps back as a passer last season. He was far better at getting the ball out quickly and understanding his progressions but far worse at actually making the correct read.

Quarterbacks with interception rates like Winston had as a sophomore tend to wind up with those gunslinger tendencies early in their careers. Remember, it wasn't long ago that we were talking about Andrew Luck's bouts with questionable accuracy.

The Buccaneers coaching staff also has little reputation in developing young quarterbacks. Lovie Smith won in Chicago despite near-constant incompetence at the position. Dirk Koetter did a fine job as Atlanta's offensive coordinator the last few seasons but got an already developed Matt Ryan. Koetter didn't do much development-wise during his previous stop in Jacksonville.

It's fair to wonder whether Winston is getting an ideal fit.

Can Todd Gurley Really Continue Ascending?

The last two seasons have seen running backs fail to get drafted on opening night. It's the first two such instances in NFL history and the latest sign of the position's decreasing importance. Running backs are increasingly seen as fungible commodities to be used aggressively when costs are low and then sold high.

So it's almost incomprehensible to think a running back coming off major reconstructive knee surgery would sniff the first round. Yet here we are with Gurley somehow re-establishing himself as the draft's top back despite not setting foot on a field since November. The Georgia product has passed Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon and has been rocketing up draft boards for reasons that remain entirely unclear.

When the 2014 season ended, one could have made a reasonable argument Gurley was more likely to be a third-rounder than a first. Now we're talking about him possibly moving his way into the top 15 if a running back-needy team gets desperate.

“I feel like this class is definitely deep for the running back position, and we have a lot of talented guys,” Gurley told reporters. “I want to be a No. 1 pick. We’ll see how everything goes.”

John Bazemore/Associated Press

Momentum has certainly shifted in Gurley's favor, but it's hard to determine exactly why. We have film that shows Gurley is a superhuman freak of nature with soft hands and a Marshawn Lynch level of toughness. We also have no evidence he can be the same player after his knee injury, and there's a player with equally impressive film waiting in the wings in Melvin Gordon.

Maybe there is something NFL teams know that I don't, and Gurley will be the superstar we all expected pre-injury. Given the direction running back evaluations have headed in recent years, though, the whole thing strikes me as weird. At the very least, I wouldn't want my favorite team in the Gurley running if it means giving up a first-rounder.

Where Does Marcus Mariota Wind Up?

Because no one's quite sure at the moment. The Tennessee Titans have the No. 2 pick but don't appear particularly enamored with the concept of selecting the former Oregon star. It's essentially become a question of not whether Tennessee will trade the pick but where and for how much.

Peter King of SI.com's The MMQB does not believe the oft-rumored Philip Rivers trade will go down as rumored. The Chargers have done more than their due diligence on Mariota and have to be spooked about Rivers' trepidation about a long-term contract, but King makes a salient point: Neither team is going to want to budge off its demands.

Ryan Kang/Associated Press

It's more likely Tennessee finds an acceptable haul in a boatload of draft picks, a la the St. Louis Rams in 2012. The easiest teams to link in that direction are the Jets, Browns and Eagles. New York and Cleveland desperately need a fix at the quarterback position, and the Browns even have an extra first-rounder after trading back in 2014. The Eagles have Mariota's obvious Chip Kelly ties, and this offseason has proved Kelly is anything but predictable when it comes to personnel moves.

Ultimately—and this is just one gent's opinion—I think this winds up being much ado about nothing, and Mariota winds up in Tennessee. The organization may not be 100 percent sold on the idea, but Ken Whisenhunt needs to take a long look at the coaching landscape. This is his second NFL job; his Super Bowl past in Arizona is getting far, far off into the distance.

Would he rather bank his future employment on Mariota, one of the best college quarterbacks in history, or Zach Mettenberger?

Yes, that was—or, at least should be—rhetorical.
