2015 NFL Mock Draft: St. Louis Rams Go Wide Receiver

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching. With that said, here is our latest 2015 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State

Tampa Bay is obviously going to be taking a quarterback with the first overall pick. Winston had set himself apart from Marcus Mariota at the NFL combine, and is the clear favorite for the Bucs. Winston did nothing but win in his time at Florida State. The quarterback went on to win his first 26 starts, including the 2014 National Championship. Winston threw for nearly 8,000 yards and 65 touchdowns in his two collegiate seasons. Jamies Winston should provide an instant spark in the Tampa Bay locker room, and make them a contender in the NFC south.

2. Tennessee Titans: Leonard Williams, DT/DE, USC

There hasn’t been much of any talk on the Titans possibly trading down in this years draft. It’s clear that this team needs more than a defensive lineman. I’m curious to see if any trade talks with a team looking to move up for Marcus Mariota, heat up as draft day approaches. Assuming Tennessee stays put, Williams is their guy. Only one team gave up more rushing yards than the Titans last season. Williams had 80 tackles, 7 sacks, and even an interception last season at USC. The defensive lineman is very versatile, and will make a Titans defense which ranked 27th overall last season move in the right direction.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dante Fowler Jr., DE/OLB, Florida

Jacksonville seems to have finally found their franchise quarterback in Blake Bortles. They also found a weapon in free agency signing Julius Thomas. As for this years draft, the answer is defense. The Jags ranked just ahead of the Titans in total defense and rushing defense last season. The key to becoming relevant in the AFC South starts with stopping Andrew Luck. Fowler is very athletic, with the ability to get after the quarterback. Fowler recorded 8.5 sacks last season at Florida. Much like Williams for Tennessee, Fowler is a solid step in the right direction for a Jaguars defense that needs it.

4. Oakland Raiders: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia

With Jack Del Rio hired as the Raiders new head coach, it’s hard to believe that this team wont be a threat for too much longer. Derek Carr had a pretty successful rookie season at quarterback for what he was given last season. After missing out on Randall Cobb and Julius Thomas in free agency, their offense is still missing a key target for their young quarterback. Kevin White made a name for himself at the NFL combine, running a 4.35 in the 40 yard dash. At 6’3″ 215lbs, White isn’t just a speed threat though. The West Virginia product put up 23 reps of 225lbs on the bench press at the combine. At this point it’s said that White has separated himself from the other wide receiver prospects in the draft, and Derek Carr will be very happy to have that go to guy for years to come.

5. Washington Redskins: Vic Beasley, DE/OLB, Clemson

After losing Brian Orakpo in free agency, the Redskins have a hole to fill on defense. There are many prospects at the position that could go in this spot. I believe that Beasley is the right guy for Washington. Beasley stuck out during Clemson games. In his four years at Clemson, Beasley was a first team All-American twice, and won the ACC defensive player of the year in 2014. There are some questions on the offensive line for the Redskins, but there is also a crucial task of stopping some powerful offenses in the NFC East.
