2015 NFL Mock Draft 7 Rounds: Projections for Every Pick of This Year's Class

Mere hours separate the globe from the 2015 NFL draft, where the league will march through 256 selections.

There, each team will put years of hard work to bed as front offices attempt to squeeze the most out of each selection, praying for a safe bet or sleeper as opposed to a bust.

Draft success being the barometer between success and failure in the league—just ask the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson, a third-round pick—the next three days are the most important of the entire calendar.

Before things get underway, let's take one final look at a full seven-round mock draft, the picks based on team need first, then prospect stock and value at each slot.

Round 1

Pick	Overall Pick	Team	Pick
1	1	Tampa Bay	Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
2	2	Tennessee	Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
3	3	Jacksonville	Dante Fowler Jr., DE, Florida
4	4	Oakland	Leonard Williams, DL, USC
5	5	Washington	Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
6	6	New York Jets	Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
7	7	Chicago	Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
8	8	Atlanta	Alvin Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky
9	9	New York Giants	La'el Collins, OL, LSU
10	10	St. Louis	Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
11	11	Minnesota	DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
12	12	Cleveland	Arik Armstead, DE/OLB, Oregon
13	13	New Orleans	Randy Gregory, DE, Nebraska
14	14	Miami	Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
15	15	San Francisco	Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
16	16	Houston	Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
17	17	San Diego	Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke
18	18	Kansas City	Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
19	19	Cleveland (from Buffalo)	Eli Harold, OLB, Virginia
20	20	Philadelphia	Landon Collins, SS, Alabama
21	21	Cincinnati	Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
22	22	Pittsburgh	Owamagbe Odighizuwa, OLB, UCLA
23	23	Detroit	Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State
24	24	Arizona	Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
25	25	Carolina	Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
26	26	Baltimore	Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State
27	27	Dallas	Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
28	28	Denver	Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
29	29	Indianapolis	Mario Edwards, DL, Florida State
30	30	Green Bay	Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
31	31	New Orleans (from Seattle)	Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
32	32	New England	Byron Jones, CB, UConn

Notable Pick: No. 24, Arizona Cardinals, Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia

In most years, a running back wouldn't come off the board in the first round.

But this isn't most years thanks to Georgia's Todd Gurley, and it's not most years for the Arizona Cardinals.

Coach Bruce Arians and the Cardinals need to be all-in around veteran quarterback Carson Palmer, especially with the San Francisco 49ers reeling and the Seattle Seahawks needing to reload.

Frank Cooney of CBSSports.com explains why Gurley is such a great fit in the desert:

"

Gurley is recovering from a torn ACL but when healthy boasts a combination of power, balance and acceleration that has earned comparisons to the Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch. His ability to churn out the tough yards inside, break big gainers and haul in passes out of the backfield would nicely complement the Cardinals' downfield passing attack.

"

Going all-in means getting a star back one year removed from Andre Ellington leading the team in rushing with 660 yards and three scores. The Marshawn Lynch comparisons aren't an exaggeration, either, with Gurley being the rarest prospect the league has seen in years.

Round 2

Pick	Overall Pick	Team	Pick
1	33	Tennessee	Jake Fisher, OT,Oregon

30	62	Green Bay	Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
31	63	Seattle	Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
32	64	New England	Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State

Notable Pick: No. 34, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami (Fla.)

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

What a bargain, right? 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got their guy with Jameis Winston in the first round and turn around near the top of the second and get a prototype left tackle if brought along in a proper manner.

It's only natural for first-round talent to fall down the board in a class so deep at wideout and edge defenders, and Ereck Flowers seems a natural fit to take a bit of a tumble thanks to his raw skill set in comparison to some of his more pro-ready counterparts.

Tampa Bay won't complain, as all the Buccaneers have on the right edge at the moment is 2014 fifth-round pick Kevin Pamphile after the failed Anthony Collins experiment.

Round 3

Pick	Overall Pick	Team	Pick
1	65	Tampa Bay	Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
2	66	Tennessee	Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU
3	67	Jacksonville	Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State

34	98	Kansas City (Compensatory Selection)	Christian Covington, DT, Rice
35	99	Cincinnati (Compensatory Selection)	Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon

Notable Pick: No. 81, Buffalo Bills, Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor

Baylor senior quarterback Bryce Petty experienced a late rise the last month or so before the draft, perhaps supplanting UCLA's Brett Hundley as the third quarterback in the class.

It's not hard to understand why considering he looks the part at 6'3" and 230 pounds and touts a great arm. The on-field intelligence is there too after he completed 63.1 percent of his passes for 3,855 yards and 29 touchdowns to seven picks last season.

Buffalo doesn't seem like a team willing to pass on the upside in the third round, especially not after showing so much interest in Petty late in the process.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Albert Breer provide the details:

It's an amazing amount of effort to be a smokescreen.

Buffalo has EJ Manuel to lean on in future years, but there's no such thing as too many potential franchise quarterbacks in today's NFL.

36	135	Cincinnati (Compensatory Selection)	Cody Prewitt, FS, Ole Miss
37	136	Baltimore (Compensatory Selection)	Ibraheim Campbell, SS, Northwestern

Notable Pick: No. 101, New England Patriots, David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

Look at the New England Patriots, the kings of value picks.

Sam Greenwood/Getty Images

Running back may be dead and devalued and all sorts of horrible descriptions, but Minnesota's David Cobb has the look of a surefire every-down contributor right out of the gates.

Cobb was a superstar with the Golden Gophers over the course of his final two seasons, rushing for a minimum of 1,200 yards, seven scores and more than five yards per carry in each.

Just look at what an AFC running back coach told NFL.com's Lance Zierlein: "I'm hoping we get him. He can step right in and play because he runs tough and he knows how to pass protect. His offensive line was bad too. He's a way shiftier runner than he gets credit for."

With Cobb in the fold, New England gets a three-down back and won't have to lean on Travaris Cadet, Jonas Gray or LeGarrette Blount in an awkward rotation.

39	175	Houston (Compensatory Selection)	Shaquille Mason, C, Georgia Tech
40	176	Baltimore (Compensatory Selection)	Anthony Jefferson, SS, UCLA

Notable Pick: No. 146, Atlanta Falcons, Nick O'Leary, TE, Florida State

Joe Robbins/Getty Images

In this scenario, the Atlanta Falcons shored up both sides of the trenches and even grabbed a strong running back prospect to help guide the offense into the future.

There's still a hole at tight end, though, as Levine Toilolo offers upside but caught just 31 passes last season.

Quarterback Matt Ryan needs another weapon at the position, and it's something Florida State's Nick O'Leary provides. As Bleacher Report's Matt Miller notes, his ability to move all over the field will be quite valuable:

Ryan can work wonders with a weapon such as O'Leary, and defenses will be kept guessing thanks to his pre-snap movement and prowess as a blocker and pass-catcher.

Notable Pick: No. 179, Oakland Raiders, Karlos Williams, RB, Florida State

David J. Phillip/Associated Press

The Oakland Raiders are right to exercise caution at running back in this scenario.

At times, Latavius Murray was a major home run threat last season and may have every-down mettle. The front office brought on Trent Richardson just to kick the tires too.

Karlos Williams touts the talent to steal the job outright. RosterWatch, among many others, is high on Williams' pro outlook:

Williams looks every bit the part of an every-down starter at the next level, possessing rare physical traits at 6'1" and 230 pounds that pair with great vision and an elite one-cut style made for the pro level.

The question with Williams is motivation, but if it's there, Oakland might have one of the biggest steals of the class.

Notable Pick: No. 238, Cincinnati Bengals, Zach Vigil, LB, Utah State

The seventh and final round centers on high-upside picks who can round out rosters by putting up a serious fight for a spot. 

Zach Vigil, the Mountain West's defensive player of the year, stands such a chance.

Eugene Tanner/Associated Press

Vigil is a productive, high-effort player who masks a weakness against the rush with strong coverage skills. Zierlein offers a comprehensive conclusion of his pro outlook: "His production and ability in coverage should get him a look. Needs to shine on special teams to land a roster spot as a backup linebacker. Might be worth a look at the SAM 'backer spot in a 4-3."

Vigil fits well in Cincinnati's 4-3 alignment, although he enters quite a battle, with the top three slots on the depth chart secure and other hungry young players, such as Sean Porter and Marquis Flowers, looking to keep their jobs.

Still, for Vigil it beats being Mr. Irrelevant, and if it's any consolation, the Bengals have a habit of picking out great linebackers.
