NFL Draft Order 2015: Team-By-Team 7-Round Listings
The 2015 NFL draft (finally) gets underway Thursday night. For most fans, this will be a long time coming, a chance to get out of their mock draft-filled bunkers and finally see their favorite team's next foundational piece.
Come Friday, though, things get a whole lot more confusing. It's easy enough for even the most causal observers to keep track of the first 32 picks. We've all had long enough to digest the Saints and Browns having two first-round picks and to mentally be able to keep track of the order.
Things get a whole lot harder when you have to consider compensatory selections, conditional picks traded once over and the basic reality that it's a lot harder to follow along once the "known" players are off the board.

Offensive Sleepers in 2015 NFL Draft
QB Brandon Bridge, South Alabama

Finding a sleeper at quarterback is a near-impossible proposition. Only about a dozen or so get drafted each year, and only about four or five of them wind up with NFL careers worthy of a Wikipedia page. Everyone knows Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley, same as they do the top players at every position. But quarterback is unique: Dudes like Sean Mannion, Shane Carden and Taylor Kelly—third-day picks, if they're selected at all—have a level of recognition.
Bridge is perhaps the only exception to the rule in this class. The South Alabama product is all raw tools, little production. For his career, he threw for 2,325 yards and 16 touchdowns against 10 interceptions, adding another 467 yards and five scores. Comparatively: Cut Mariota's 2014 stats in half, and he still has more total touchdowns and nearly as many yards.
But NFL teams aren't selecting Bridge banking on him being a superstar. They're hoping he could be a late-round diamond in the rough. Listed at 6'4" and 229 pounds, Bridge has a near-perfect combination of size and athleticism for the modern position.
“I was a Patriots fan, just due to the fact that Tom Brady overcame," Bridge said, per Bill O'Hare of Bills.com. “I love the ‘Brady 6’ story, how he was always overlooked and always had that chip on his shoulder. I feel like I’m kind of doing that as well. I’m kind of under-looked in this draft, and hopefully I can just go out there and play this game.”
At the very least, it'll be interesting to see. Bridge could be this year's version of Logan Thomas.
RB David Johnson, Northern Iowa

Discussion has been rampant in recent weeks about Todd Gurley's return to top-15 status for reasons that remain unclear. Gurley was a fantastic player at Georgia, possessing a near-perfect skill set to be a three-down back in this era. But he's also a dude coming off a debilitating injury we haven't seen carry a football in months.
For my money, Gurley is an overpriced talent. I'd much rather take a pass on him Thursday and wait for a talent like Johnson, who has been on the rise for months, a day later.
The Northern Iowa product was a combine superstar, performing among the best at his position in nearly every drill. He was also able to shed some of the small-school label at the Senior Bowl, performing well in practice all week before a solid 43-yard day. Couple that with his 4,682 career yards, soft hands and quick first step, and Johnson projects as someone who can step in right away and make an impact.
"It's just all starting to pay off," Johnson said, per Andrew Logue of The Des Moines Register. "I've been looking on web sites, what people are talking about me. Definitely, it's a blessing."
Johnson doesn't have the ceiling of Gurley or Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon. We've just learned enough about the recent history of first-round running backs to make him the smaller gamble.
WR Tyler Lockett, Kansas State

I'm blurring the line here between "sleeper" and "underappreciated," but whatever. Lockett is going to make a ton of teams in Round 1 and 2 regret not taking him. The Kansas State product compiled 105 receptions for 1,515 yards and 11 touchdowns, breaking nearly every single-season and career record on the books.
Other than concerns about his size—he measured at 5'10" and 182 pounds at the combine—there aren't many legitimate criticisms about Lockett. He runs crisp, smart routes, has the leaping ability and toughness to fight for 50-50 balls against defenders and has the speed to become an instant contributor on special teams.
“A lot of guys only do one thing,” Lockett said, per Ken Corbitt of The Topeka Capital-Journal, “but I did punt return, kickoff return, I did inside in the slot (receiver) and I did outside. With all of those things, it’s like getting five in one. Just from that, I think I bring a lot to the table."
Opinions differ on where Lockett will be drafted, but he looks like a steal regardless of whether it's the third or fourth round. Tyler's father Kevin stuck around in the NFL for seven seasons as a special teams playmaker and wideout. His son should be able to at least match that if he finds the right situation.
TE Jesse James, Penn State

Big Ten standouts Maxx Williams (Minnesota) and Devin Funchess (Michigan)—and, yes, I still consider Funchess a tight end despite the nonsensical insinuation he can play wideout—have received all the attention. Just don't be surprised if James winds up as big of a star (if not bigger) as his counterparts.
James was a major winner at the scouting combine in February, flashing elite athleticism to go along with his 6'7", 261-pound frame. While he doesn't have great top-end speed, his talent at using his leaping ability (37.5 inches) and his strength make him an instant red-zone target. Penn State's offense arguably did not do nearly enough to emphasize James' red-zone potential over the last two seasons.
Luckily, he shouldn't fly under too many NFL radars. He projects as a Jason Witten-type who won't wow with many big plays but puts up numbers with his consistency and ability to create separation in small spaces. Odds are he'll come off the board sometime in Day 2 and make a team awfully happy about its decision.
