NFL Draft 2015: Order, Analysis of Best Prospects Still Available

One round has been completed in the 2015 NFL draft, but the majority of picks have yet to be made. Most of the big splashes are over, as is the palpable anticipation that built over a span of months and a multitude of mock drafts.

Teams will still focus on landing quality players that can be immediate contributors during Friday. When the final four rounds play out on Saturday, though, those types of expectations can't be placed on such prospects, as front offices hope to add depth and perhaps a diamond in the rough.

Check out the updating order below for all seven rounds, which will generate the picks as they happen over the next two days, followed by a breakdown of the best prospects still available.

Best Prospects Available

Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State

Ball skills, body control and sure hands pop out when turning on Strong's game film. Six receivers were chosen in the first round, and it was a bit of a shock Strong wasn't among them.

Clay Travis of Fox Sports 1 noted how Strong excelled in 2014 no matter who was throwing him the ball:

Strong had over 1,100 yards receiving in each of the past two seasons, checking off the proverbial box with regard to this college production.

Some had questions about his speed until Strong ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. To top it off, Strong registered a 42-inch vertical leap and measured at 6'2" and 217 pounds in Indianapolis.

That combination of size and speed doesn't come around too often, yet Strong was passed over as so many other pass-catchers came off the board. Don't be surprised if Strong is the very first name called on Friday, should the Tennessee Titans covet a weapon for their new quarterback, Marcus Mariota.

Landon Collins, S, Alabama

Miller compares Collins to Minnesota Vikings free safety Harrison Smith, who has been a revelation as a late first-round pick in the Twin Cities. Rob Rang and Dane Brugler of CBSSports.com are reminded of Denver Broncos Pro Bowler T.J. Ward, who converted to strong safety in the pros.

Wherever Collins plays in the NFL, he figures to be a tremendous value pick in the second round and a likely instant starter.

Collins has plenty of faith in his abilities as a complete safety:

Bleacher Report's Adam Kramer thinks Collins will be drafted quite early on Day 2:

Collins is a huge hitter who has experience in multifaceted, complex defenses at Alabama and faced the best possible competition in the SEC. Serving as a leader for a powerhouse program should help Collins establish himself even as an NFL rookie.

Being passed over in the first round when it seemed almost a certainty that Collins would be chosen in the top 32 should only add fuel to the fire for him to get the next phase of his football career off on the right foot.

Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota

As loaded as this draft is with receivers, Williams is the only pass-catching threat at his position who was getting any type of first-round hype.

Tony Pisano of Pro Football Focus believes Williams may be in for a slide toward the middle of the second round:

But Williams' ability to stretch the field, effectively run routes and serve as a dangerous red-zone target make him too compelling to stay on the board much longer than that.

Last season, the Minnesota Golden Gophers ranked 121st in the country in passing offense.

Williams somehow managed to rack up 569 yards on 36 receptions and find the end zone eight times despite the limited opportunities. Provided he earns the privilege to start in his first year, there's a chance Williams could even come close his career college total of 61 catches.

Master Tesfatsion of the Star Tribune vouches for Williams as a person and player:

Pedigree also helps in that Williams is the son of a former first-round pick (h/t USA Today's Tom Pelissero). Not joining his father as a first-rounder has to sting a bit for Williams, providing incentive for him to make those who passed over him pay.

There are other perhaps more talented players than the three analyzed here. Massive receiver Dorial Green-Beckham and Nebraska pass-rusher Randy Gregory were both first-round talents, but character concerns dropped them out of the top 32.

It's likely that Green-Beckham and Gregory will continue to slide. The question is how long, and the closer they get to the better teams near the end of the second round, the better chance they have to succeed.

With how much trouble the NFL has had recently with regard to player discipline issues being visible in the public eye, Green-Beckham and Gregory are knocked down draft boards more now than in years past. They can still emerge as stars if they stay on the right track.
