2015 NFL Draft: 1st Round Mock Draft 1.0

With the 11th pick, the Minesota Vikings select: La’el Collins, Offensive Tackle, LSU

The Vikings are a team on the upswing. Rookie of year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had a great first year in charge. He also got sacked 8 times in one game which leads one to believe he needs some protection. Collins is a great grab here at 11.

with the 12th pick, the Cleveland Browns select, Davante Parker, Wide Receiver, Louisville.

With the loss of Josh Gordon, the Browns are left without a stand out, clear-cut number 1 receiver despite the sgning of Dwayne Bowe. Parker comes in and gives the Browns a chance to mesh him together with presumably Johnny Manziel next season. The Browns have another pick later in the 1st round but can’t afford to hope Parker falls.

With the 13th pick, the New Orleans Saints select: Trae Waynes, Cornerback, Michigan State

Despite signing Jarius Byrd and having Keenan Lewis, the Saints secondary was one of the worst in the league. The saints appear to be beginning a rebuilding period. This could be a logical first step for them. It doesn’t win championships, but it helps keep the Saints in play by having quality secondary work.

With the 14th pick, the Miami Dolphins select: Randy Gregory, Outside linebacker, Nebraska.

The Dolphins are that team now. By that I mean they are the team that is squeezing everything into 4 year period of trying to win championships. They will spend all their money on one guy and they will take the star player who failed the drug test. If this works out like Mathieu, then the Dolphins will get a steal.

With the 15th pick, the San Francisco 49ers select, Eric Kendricks, Linebacker, UCLA

The 49ers took a lot of unexpected blows at the linebacker position this offseason after Chris Borland and Patrick Willis decided to retire. Taking Kendricks starts the rebuilding process at that position.

With the 16th pick, the Houston Texans select: Brett Hundley, Quarterback, UCLA

The Houston Texans are in need of a quarterback. Hundley could be the surprise story of the year at quarterback. He would be a day 1 starter. Houston will still likely struggle on offense next year. But Hundley is a guy they can build upon.

With the 17th pick, the San Diego Chargers select: Andrus Peat, Offensive Tackle, Nebraska

Assuming they select Mariotta at 2 and keep this pick, the Chargers would be wise to bolster the offensive line that allowed Phillip Rivers to get sacked 36 times last year. Wouldn’t want to hurt that shiny new rookie quarterback.

With the 18th pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select: Kevin White, Wide Receiver, West Virgina

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off an odd season that included zero touchdowns thrown to a wide receiver. The Chiefs are very unlikely to repeat that feat this year. Now that Dwayne Bowe is gone, The Chiefs are in need of a guy that can come in and put the ball in the end zone.

With the 19th pick, the Cleveland Browns select: Benardrick McKinney, Linebacker, Mississippi State

The middling Browns need a guy that can come in and improve the defense. McKinney can be that guy. He lacks in edge speed but can stop running backs. Which is good in a division with Le’veon Bell, Justin Forsett and Giovani Bernard.

With the 20th pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select: Marcus Peters, Cornerback, Washington

The Eagles were the 31st ranked passing defense last year. In a division with Dez Bryant and ODell Beckham Jr, the Eagles can’t survive without stopping these guys. Marcus Peters is the first step to correcting that issue.

Next: 21-32
