2015 NFL Mock Draft Round 2: Full List of Predictions Following Day 1 Results

Matt FitzgeraldMay 1, 2015

The 2015 NFL draft is only 32 picks in, and teams can find even greater value as the action from Auditorium Theatre in Chicago continues over the next two days.

After taking quarterback Marcus Mariota No. 2 overall in the opening round, the Tennessee Titans will look to add another big piece to start Round 2 on Friday.

Mariota was the second QB off the board behind top pick Jameis Winston, who will stay in Florida to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston's new team next chooses 34th overall, so the Bucs have a great chance at a big turnaround if they can nail their next selection.

2015 NFL Draft Round 2 Analysis

Two transcendent talents remain on the board in wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham and Nebraska pass-rusher Randy Gregory.

Both have off-field concerns—they'd otherwise be unquestionable first-round picks, perhaps even the first off the board at their respective positions.

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson suggests Green-Beckham's fate would have been different just a year ago:

Two destinations make a lot of sense for Green-Beckham, but in the mock scenario above, he goes to the St. Louis Rams. It's hard to think of a better place for him to land.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher has a past of taking on players with character concerns and fostering their success; cornerback Janoris Jenkins comes to mind as a recent example.

In St. Louis, Green-Beckham would have a mentor who never quite overcame his off-field troubles to fulfill his immense potential in Kenny Britt. Talk about a textbook example to learn from. The future would be bright for the Rams with Green-Beckham and Brian Quick on the outside, headlining the passing game with Todd Gurley now in the fold.

Gregory, meanwhile, is keen to prove himself after being passed over in the top 32:

Should the Chicago Bears land Gregory, there's a strong chance he will back up his words. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had to deal with Aldon Smith in San Francisco, so he has proved capable of getting edge-rushing dynamos to produce at extraordinary levels.

To briefly delve into a few other notable mock selections, Tennessee starts Day 2 by selecting Florida State CB Ronald Darby. With elite speed and lockdown coverage skills in both zone and man-to-man, the Titans could have an immediate starter on their hands to add to the secondary.

Circling back to Jenkins, check out this pro comparison made by Pro Football Focus' Neil Hornsby:

Another notable situation involves the Buffalo Bills. Loaded on defense and with plenty of skill players on offense, the glaring weakness on the team is at the all-important quarterback position.

The good news is the Bills have plenty of bodies to occupy the depth chart. Whether any of them can help Buffalo win in 2015 is another matter. Maybe Garrett Grayson can't as a rookie, but he at least deserves to be in the conversation when the Bills go on the clock.

Grayson hails from a pro-style offense at Colorado State, is mobile enough to make and extend plays with his feet and can make all the NFL throws. One league executive even told USA Today's Tom Pelissero that Grayson could wind up being the best QB in this draft class.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Grayson was better than all of them," said the executive. "I just think he's got the intangibles. He's got a good presence about himself in the pocket. He's got the physical traits. His arm's strong enough, and I think he's got the right temperament."

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole named Buffalo as one of the teams interested in Grayson:

New Bills head coach Rex Ryan inherits quite a loaded roster that's only hole is at the most vital position. Any combination of Matt Cassel, EJ Manuel and Tyrod Taylor doesn't seem likely to get the job done.

Ryan was held back during his tenure with the New York Jets because he didn't have a viable answer under center the entire time he was there. Manuel might still be that guy, yet the team has already brought in multiple alternatives since drafting him in the first round in 2013.

Among the second tier of quarterbacks, Grayson may not get as much play as prospects from bigger schools such as Bryce Petty or Brett Hundley. Where those players lack in terms of grasping NFL-centric schemes and feel for the pocket, however, is where Grayson shines most.

Without many other needs, choosing a quarterback would make a lot of sense if the Bills are serious about winning soon, and Grayson seems like the ideal choice.
