4 Days Until the 2015 NFL Draft-PHIL Gets Mariota In My Mock

4 days to go until the NFL Draft on Thursday night April 30th. 
Here is what I am predicting for the first round picks in the NFL Draft. I have included what I think are the drafting teams needs and who they will pick. 

Note: I think Chip Kelly does a double trade with CLE and TEN to jump to #2 overall. The Eagles send Sam Bradford to the Browns for their 12th overall pick and then turns around and gives it and the PHI 20th pick to TEN for there #2 pick. 



1) TB-QB, DE, OL, LB, WR (Jameis Winston QB FSU)
2) PHI-CB, S, OLB, G, WR (Traded 12th and 20th to TEN, 12th came from Sam Bradford trade to CLE) (Marcus Mariota QB Orgeon)
3) JAX-OL, CB, RB, S, LB Dante Fowler Jr. OLB Florida) 
4) OAK-WR, CB, RB, OT, DL (Leonard Williams DT USC) (Best player on the board here)

5) WAS- S, CB, RT, LB (Vic Beasley-OLB Clemson)
6) NYJ-QB, OLB, OL, WR, RB (Brandon Scherff OT Iowa) Scherff can play any OL position.
7) CHI-OLB, NT, OL, S, WR)(Kevin White-WR WVA) (loss of B. Marshall makes this a no-brainer and Bears added some defensive help in FA
8) ATL-LB, TE, OL, WR, DB Bud Dupree OLB KY Would have been Gregory if not for the failed drug test.
9) NYG-FS, LB, OL, DT, TE (Randy Gregory DE NEB) Gregory falls a bit but teams need a pass rusher.



10) STL-G, WR, CB, OT, RB, QB? Amari Cooper WR ALA 
11) MIN-OT, LB, CB, G, RB? (DeVante Parker WR Lousville) Pairing the WR with his QB
12)  TEN-QB, CB, RT, DL, S Shane Ray DE Missouri
13) NO-CB, OLB, OG, WR, QB?  Andrus Peat OT Stanford
14) MIA-LB, OT, CB, WR, RB Todd Gurley RB Georgia 
15) SF-DL, OL, WR-(Arik Armstead DT Oregon)
16 HOU-QB, WR, OT-Jaelen Strong WR ASU
17 SD-CB, NT, OL  -Melvin Gordon RB WIS (they need a RB)
18 KC-WR, OT, CB-Dorial Green-Beckam WR Oklahoma And the WR class of 2015 is let out of the bottle as 5 of the first 18 are receivers. 9 of first 18 are fantasy worthy players-2 QB, 2 RB and 5 WR.
19 CLE-WR, ILB, OL-La'el Collins OL
20  TEN-QB, CB Malcom Brown DT Texas
21 CIN-CB, S, K Jalen Collins DB LSU

24 AZ-DL, LB (Trae Waynes CB MSU) 
25 CAR-OLB, OT, CB D. J. Humphries OT Florida
26 BAL-RB, OL, OLB T. J. Clemmings T PIT
27 DAL-CB, DL Eddie Goldman DT FSU
28 DEN-DL, LB Cameron Erving C FSU
29 IND-OL, ILB, S Ereck Flowers OT Miami
30 GB-ILB, DL, TE Jordan Phillips NT Oklahoma
31 NO-CB, OLB, QB? Eli Harold OLB UVA
32 NE-WR, RB, DL Breshad Perriman WR Central Florida
