2015 NFL Draft Results: Complete Overview and Grades of Rounds 1-3

The first three rounds of the 2015 NFL draft are in the books, and numerous fanbases have to be pleased with the haul their teams brought in.

Among those who made the biggest splash on Day 2 were the Tennessee Titans. They boldly chose wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham to be a potential No. 1 weapon for the quarterback they chose second overall in Marcus Mariota.

What follows is a complete list of picks for all three rounds, followed by letter grades and analysis for every team, and a closer look at Tennessee and the other biggest winners from the first two days of the draft.

Team	Picks	Grade	Analysis
Arizona Cardinals	(24) D.J. Humphries, OT; (58) Markus Golden, DE; (86) David Johnson, RB	A-	A great athlete in Humphries, a relentless motor from Golden and patience paid off to get Northern Iowa star David Johnson as a potential starting running back.
Atlanta Falcons	(8) Vic Beasley, DE/OLB; (42) Jalen Collins, CB; (73) Tevin Coleman, RB	A	Hard to knock any of these picks. Three players who will push for starting jobs amid a promising new era in Atlanta.
Baltimore Ravens	(26) Breshad Perriman, WR; (55) Maxx Williams, TE; (90) Carl Davis, DT	C	GM Ozzie Newsome made the call on two bold picks. Both fit the strengths of strong-armed franchise QB Joe Flacco.
Buffalo Bills	(50) Ronald Darby, CB; (81) John Miller, G	A-	World-class speed from Darby gives Buffalo a dynamic added dimension to the secondary. Coach Rex Ryan has to like his loaded roster even more after Day 2 of the draft.
Carolina Panthers	(25) Shaq Thompson, OLB; (41) Devin Funchess, WR/TE	B+	Thompson's position still to be determined. The same could be said for Funchess. If they pan out, watch out—especially the massive Funchess split out wide opposite Kelvin Benjamin.
Chicago Bears	(7) Kevin White, WR; (39) Eddie Goldman, DT; (71) Hroniss Granu, C	A+	GM Ryan Pace hits home runs with White and Goldman to start his first draft, and adds depth on the offensive line with Granu.
Cincinnati Bengals	(21) Cedric Ogbuehi, OT; (53) Jake Fisher, OT; (85) Tyler Kroft, TE; (99) Paul Dawson, ILB	C-	Perplexing draft strategy by Cincinnati, especially since Ogbuehi tore his ACL this last year. Dawson was a bright spot.
Cleveland Browns	(12) Danny Shelton, NT; (19) Cameron Erving, OL; (51) Nate Orchard, DE/OLB; (77) Duke Johnson, RB; (96) Xavier Cooper, DT, Washington State	A	Shelton is the run-stopper Cleveland needed. Erving is insurance for Alex Mack and also a starter at guard. It seemed Orchard was a luxury pick but he does add depth as an edge-rusher. Johnson was a necessary playmaker.
Dallas Cowboys	(27) Byron Jones, CB; (60) Randy Gregory, DE/OLB; (91) Chaz Green, OT	A	Jones has experience at safety and corner, and serves as an ideal classmate for Gregory, a tremendously talented pass-rusher with off-field concerns.
Denver Broncos	(23) Shane Ray, OLB; (59) Ty Sambrailo, OT; (92) Jeff Heuerman, TE	B-	Made a splash with Ray, who should see one-on-one situations with Von Miller flying in off the other edge.
Detroit Lions	(28) Laken Tomlinson, G; (54) Ameer Abdullah, RB; (80) Alex Carter, CB	B	A necessary emphasis was placed on getting more balance on offense. Finally addressed cornerback with Carter.
Green Bay Packers	(30) Damarious Randall, FS; (62) Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami Ohio; (94) Ty Montgomery, WR	C+	Viable contributors added to the secondary, but what about that front seven?
Houston Texans	(16) Kevin Johnson, CB; (43) Benardrick McKinney, ILB; (70) Jaelen Strong, WR	A	Not the splashiest draft to start, yet the Texans improved their complementary defensive pieces around superstar J.J. Watt. Strong was an amazing third-round get.
Indianapolis Colts	(29) Phillip Dorsett, WR; (65) D'Joun Smith, CB; (93) Henry Anderson, DL	C+	Dorsett was an unnecessary luxury pick, and there were more talented cornerbacks than Smith on the board. Anderson was a redemptive late pick.
Jacksonville Jaguars	(3) Dante Fowler Jr., DE/OLB; (36) T.J. Yeldon, RB; (67) A.J. Cann, G	B	Fowler should be an instant stud; Yeldon needs help from Blake Bortles and the line to succeed right away.
Kansas City Chiefs	(18) Marcus Peters, CB; (49) Mitch Morse, G; (76) Chris Conley, WR; (98) Steven Nelson, CB	A	Peters may well prove to be the best cornerback in this class, while Morse brings necessary help to the offensive line. Conley is a freak athlete at a position of need.
Miami Dolphins	(14) DeVante Parker, WR; (52) Jordan Phillips, DT	A	Wonderful moves to land Parker in a strong receiving corps and add Phillips to a line already featuring Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake.
Minnesota Vikings	(11) Trae Waynes, CB; (45) Eric Kendricks, ILB; (88) Danielle Hunter, DE	B+	A bit of a ding for the Waynes pick, but coach Mike Zimmer figures to position the touted cornerback for success. The same goes for Kendricks and Hunter.
New England Patriots	(32) Malcom Brown, DT; (64) Jordan Richards, S; (97) Geneo Grissom, DE	A	Tremendous value on Brown, and filled out needs the rest of the way with smart players.
New Orleans Saints	(13) Andrus Peat, OT; (31) Stephone Anthony, ILB; (44) Hau'oli Kikaha, DE; (75) Garrett Grayson, QB; (80) P.J. Williams, CB	B	A nice run by New Orleans after a questionable first-round haul. The Saints also found their successor to Drew Brees.
New York Giants	(9) Ereck Flowers, OL; (33) Landon Collins, SS; (74) Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE	B-	Trading up for Collins was bold but worth it, though Flowers seemed like a bit of a reach at No. 9.
New York Jets	(6) Leonard Williams, DL; (37) Devin Smith, WR; (82) Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB	A+	GM Mike Maccagnan is crushing his first draft, landing perhaps the best overall player in Williams and a rare deep threat in Smith.
Oakland Raiders	(4) Amari Cooper, WR; (35) Mario Edwards Jr., DE; (68) Clive Walford, TE	A+	Cooper is a No. 1 option for young QB Derek Carr, and Walford is an intriguing addition to go with Mychal Rivera at tight end. Edwards fills out a nice-looking defensive front four.
Philadelphia Eagles	(20) Nelson Agholor, WR; (47) Eric Rowe, CB; (84) Jordan Hicks, OLB	B-	The move up for Rowe was the most excitement Chip Kelly generated.
Pittsburgh Steelers	(22) Bud Dupree, DE/OLB; (56) Senquez Golson, CB; (87) Sammie Coates, WR	A-	Panic ensued when Dupree was the choice with such a glaring need in the secondary. The Steelers still landed a great cornerback option in Golson and padded the receiving corps with Coates.
San Diego Chargers	(15) Melvin Gordon, RB; (48) Denzel Perryman, ILB; (83) Craig Mager, CB	B+	Trading up to take Gordon had better be worth it based on how diminished the value is at the running back position. It should be, since Gordon is special and has a top-tier QB in Philip Rivers to complement him.
San Francisco 49ers	(17) Arik Armstead, DE; (46) Jaquiski Tartt, SS; (79) Eli Harold, OLB	B	Armstead may be a bit of a project and is a boom-or-bust, and Tartt probably will play sparingly in 2015 with Antoine Bethea on the roster. A good long-term outlook for this 49ers class.
Seattle Seahawks	(63) Frank Clark, DE; (69) Tyler Lockett, WR	B	Clark has some character concerns, but must have checked out fine with Seattle. The Lockett pick figures to be a steal.
St. Louis Rams	(10) Todd Gurley, RB; (57) Rob Havenstein, OT; (72) Jamon Brown, OT; (89) Sean Mannion, QB	B+	An obvious emphasis placed on a physical rushing attack, triggered by a talented ball-carrier in Gurley, who is coming off an ACL tear.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	(1) Jameis Winston, QB; (34) Donovan Smith, OT; (61) Ali Marpet, G, Hobart	A-	If Winston lives up to the hype, this whole draft can be considered a success for the QB-starved Bucs. They did a lot to protect him.
Tennessee Titans	(2) Marcus Mariota, QB; (40) Dorial Green-Beckham, WR; (66) Jeremiah Poutasi, G	A+	Holy upside. Between Mariota and DGB, the Titans may have landed tomorrow's most explosive passing game tandem in the NFL.
Washington Redskins	(5) Brandon Scherff, OL; (38) Preston Smith, DE; (95) Matt Jones, RB	B	Snagging Smith was the right move after boldly passing on Leonard Williams in the first round.

Breaking Down Biggest Winners

Tennessee Titans

General manager Ruston Webster assembled mostly uninspiring draft classes during his previous years on the job. In what should be a make-or-break season for him, Webster is taking the Titans to unforeseen heights.

Not only did Webster manage to maneuver out of the first pick in Round 2 to acquire more assets, but he also landed arguably the most talented wide receiver in the draft, in Green-Beckham at No. 40 overall.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport described what happened in the war room:

If not for off-field issues, Green-Beckham may have been off the board before Alabama star Amari Cooper. This is the type of elite prospect Green-Beckham is from a pure football standpoint.

Green-Beckham can run away from any secondary with his top-end speed and has a massive frame to ward off defenders. When the play breaks down, Mariota can improvise and extend the action, making it all the more difficult to cover his new offensive weapon.

Bleacher Report draft guru Matt Miller also passed along some noteworthy information:

"

Talked to a few non-QB needy teams last night. They laughed at my thought Mariota needed time to develop. Most think he's ready Day 1

— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) May 1, 2015"

The Titans already have the likes of Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter and even acquired Hakeem Nicks this offseason to upgrade their receiving corps. This won't stop Green-Beckham from starting and forming a tremendously explosive combination with Mariota from the beginning.

Don't be surprised if Tennessee turns things around rather quickly in an AFC South division that feels like it's up for grabs.

Oakland Raiders

Cooper almost doesn't need an explanation. Widely viewed as the best receiver in this class with 124 receptions in 2014 at a big-time program in Tuscaloosa, the fourth pick overall was a bit of a no-brainer.

Second-year quarterback Derek Carr now has a No. 1 option to count on for years to come. With precise route-running ability and the versatility to line up at any receiver spot, Cooper is an instant starter who shouldn't have trouble notching a 1,000-yard season.

ESPN draft expert Todd McShay approved of Oakland's first selection:

The Raiders' roll continued in Day 2 when they snagged defensive edge prospect Mario Edwards Jr. with the 35th pick.

One good sign is Edwards' willingness to play anywhere along the Raiders' front seven, which he expressed after being drafted, per the team's official Twitter account:

Pro Football Focus rates Edwards well in terms of run defense:

That's great news for a Raiders team that ranked last in the league in points allowed last season. This can be partially attributed to the defunct offense, which should have more spunk in 2015.

And now for Clive Walford, an intriguing second tight end taken in the third round (No. 68) to throw into the mix with capable pass-catcher Mychal Rivera. Walford will argue he's a more complete player, which he hinted at in his post-draft comments, per CSNCalifornia.com's Scott Bair:

The self assessment by the former Miami standout is quite accurate. Rivera is a bit of a liability as a blocker, so it's feasible Walford will be atop the depth chart come Week 1.

Edwards is an intriguing addition to join promising Oakland linebackers Khalil Mack and Sio Moore, not to mention a veteran defensive line headlined by Justin Tuck.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie has given new head coach Jack Del Rio plenty to work with. There's no question Oakland got considerably better through the first two days of the draft, earning an A+ grade for its hard work. The trick is translating it to the gridiron.

New York Jets

A lot of attention surrounded Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan and how he'd handle his first go at the draft. When he went on the clock at No. 6 overall, his choice became rather simple.

Somehow freakish USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams had fallen into New York's lap. All Maccagnan had to do was make the call and take the player many considered to be the best prospect in the entire draft.

Buffalo Bills GM Doug Whaley, whose team didn't have a first-round pick this year, was willing to admit as much, per ESPN's Adam Schefter:

Williams is not only almost impossible to block, but he also gives the Jets an escape in the event they can't pay Muhammad Wilkerson the money he desires.

Instead of holding out and demanding top dollar in the Big Apple, perhaps Wilkerson will realize he can team with Williams and Sheldon Richardson to create arguably the most terrifying young defensive front in the NFL.

Let's move on to other picks before the Williams tangent goes too long—and he's deserving of it, to be sure.

Further insurance was added to the front seven to compensate for Wilkerson's potential departure in the form of third-round edge-rusher Lorenzo Mauldin out of Louisville with the 82nd overall pick.

ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini gave context to Mauldin and the type of player New York is getting:

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News logged a notable quote from Mauldin's conference call:

Prior to the heartwarming and football-smart choice of Mauldin, Maccagnan opted to spend his second-rounder on Ohio State wideout Devin Smith at No. 37 overall.

Despite coming from a spread system, Smith has rare breakaway speed and an uncanny knack for tracking deep passes, which is why he averaged 28.2 yards per catch in his last year with the Buckeyes.

New York offensive coordinator Chan Gailey mixes in spread elements to his offense as is. This benefits Smith as he tries to adjust to a more diversified NFL route tree, and it also helps young QB Geno Smith as he vies to prove himself as the answer under center.

Geno Smith—or whoever throws passes for the Jets in 2015—already has bigger targets on the outside in Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall, to go with Jeremy Kerley in the slot.

No matter where Devin Smith lines up, he's a home-run threat who can take it to the house in the blink of an eye. The Jets needed someone to blow the top off the opposing secondary. Smith does that and also increases the margin for error for deep passes because of his unique skills.

A great start to the draft to go with a massive free agency haul have made the beginning of Maccagnan's tenure quite exciting. Maccagnan and his front-office associates have definitely made the Jets' 2015 draft as strong as any thus far.
