Round One Mock Draft ~~ By Tom Shane

[Maxman]

Our friend Tom Shane was kind enough to look into his crystal ball and put together a mock draft for round one of the 2015 NFL draft.

 

1.      TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State—Whereby we get to experience what it would be like to watch JR Smith as the quarterback of an NFL team.

 

2.      TENNESSEE TITANS: Leonard Williams, DT, USC—True story: the creepy shut-in who “won over $68,000 playing FanDuel last year” did so exclusively by starting running backs against the Titans defense. A drunk Ken Whisenhunt texts Matt Leinart to, you know, ask him how he’s doing and stuff.

 

3.      JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson—Dante Fowler was quoted as saying he wanted to be picked by the Jaguars, which completely eliminates Fowler from consideration for this pick.

 

4.      TRADE/ ATLANTA FALCONS (fr. Oakland Raiders): Dante Fowler Jr.—Dan Quinn coached Fowler at Florida, so he already knows about his sh*tty explosion scores.

 

5.      WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama—They’re going to have to pry RGIII’s puny, brittle ankles out of Daniel Snyder’s cold, dead hands.

 

6.      TRADE: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (fr. New York Jets): Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon.

 

If you’re at a bar when this trade goes down, buy shots for the first three fake Jets fans that start screaming about passing up on the future Hall of Fame quarterback that they’ll immediately refer to as “Michael Marioti.” As desperate as the Jets are for a QB, they don’t need to draft one whose most ardent admirers concede will need to spend a year in an incubator to re-learn the game. Why would Philly make this move with the Jets at six if it already looked like Mariota was about to slide? Because Mike Maccagnan, sly hustler that he is, works some game on Chip Kelly by getting Mike Pettine and the Cleveland Browns to act like they’re desperate to trade up for Mariota themselves. After a series of bluffs and Chip Kelly mini-strokes, the Browns are able to acquire Sam Bradford from the Eagles for the 19^th overall selection. The Eagles then package picks 19, 20, 170 (third round), and their 2016 first round pick and trade them to the Jets for pick #6. This is a relatively cheap package for the Eagles considering that they had no real plans to hang on to Bradford in the first place, but it works out wonderfully for both the Browns and the Jets. Everybody wins except the Eagles, who get burned when Chip Kelly takes the Notre Dame job in 2016.

 

7.      CHICAGO BEARS: Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky—New GM Ryan Pace fails in his attempt to trade this pick (along with Jay Cutler) for bitcoins.

 

8.      OAKLAND RAIDERS: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia—Promising young QB Derek Carr averaged a measly five yards per pass attempt as a rookie, so White (who put up an amazing time in the five-yard dash) is the logical pick here.

 

9.      NEW YORK GIANTS: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford—An attempt to keep the o/u on Eli sacks and interceptions in the double-digit range.

 

10.  ST. LOUIS RAMS: La’el Collins, OT, LSU—Jeff Fisher emerges from his Career Lazarus Pit to select Collins, who (as of this writing) isn’t guilty of murder, but ends up in purgatory anyway.

 

11.  TRADE: MIAMI DOLPHINS (fr. Minnesota Vikings): Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia—In case you forgot how clever and smart Mike Tannenbaum is, check out his full-page spread in this Friday’sThe Miami Herald where he explains to the layman how trading seventeen future draft picks to move up three spots in the first round is both clever and smart.

 

12.  CLEVELAND BROWNS: Randy Gregory, OLB, Nebraska—History has shown Mike Pettine’s tough love and stern stewardship can put even the most troubled substance abuser on the straight and narrow.

 

13.  NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Devante Parker, WR, Louisville—An anonymous source (Rob Ryan) is quoted as saying that the Saints were going to draft Marcus Peters (Rob Ryan), but Drew Brees threw a hissy fit (Rob Ryan) and demanded yet another useless receiver who won’t even help put the run defense in the top five (Rob Ryan).

 

14.  MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Brandon Scherff, OG, Iowa—Scherff fills the role left behind by Vlad Ducasse as Teddy Bridgewater’s night terrors are cut in half.

 

15.  SAN FRANCISCO 49ers: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington—Now that Trent Baalke got rid of all that uptight dead weight in Jim Harbaugh, it’s time for the real stars of the organization to come out and shine.

 

16.  HOUSTON TEXANS: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest—Bill O’Brien’s long wait for Christian Hackenberg becomes the central plot of the next three Nicholas Sparks screenplays.

 

17.  SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington—The Chargers continue the process of convincing Philip Rivers that Boyz n the Hood was not, in fact, a documentary about life in every part Los Angeles.

 

18.  KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF—Perriman’s fantasy stock, will to live, plummet.

 

19.  NEW YORK JETS (fr. Eagles via Browns): Cameron Erving, OG, FSU—The Jets offensive line is possibly one player away from being dominant, but is also one injury away from being a dumpster fire. With Ndamukong Suh coming into the division, beefing up the interior of the line with a moose has to be a priority. Erving may be the best pure mauler in this draft class, and he offers the flexibility to play anywhere on the interior from Day One. One of Mike Maccagnan’s initial comments on roster-building concerned the priority he placed on building from the inside-out. There’s no better time than the present to bring in the beefcake.

 

20.  NEW YORK JETS (fr. Eagles): Preston Smith, DE-OLB, Mississippi State—There’s been a lot of discussion about what type of edge player Todd Bowles’ scheme requires and the consensus (based on his personnel in Arizona), has been that Bowles (like Rex Ryan) requires his OLBs to be huge, stand-up DEs. Smith is 6’5”, 271 lbs., with a 4.7/40, stellar 3-cone time (7.07), and a 121-inch broad jump. For comparison’s sake, acknowledged superfreak Jadeveon Clowney produced a 4.53/40 with a 124-inch broad jump, and a 7.27 second three-cone score. Certainly, the workout numbers are there, and the fit is obvious, but asking him to stand up on most downs could be a risk. Smith wasn’t asked to make many plays in space, but his agility numbers lead you to believe that the potential is there to do so. It should be noted that Smith’s agility and explosion scores all outperformed those of Dante Fowler Jr., whom the Jets were allegedly targeting at pick #6 to play OLB.

 

21.  CINCINNATI BENGALS: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma—When AJ Green went down last year, Andy Dalton went from “regular crappy” to “Hey Has Anyone Seen Greg McElroy Around crappy.” If Green-Beckham can keep his cartel activities to a minimum, he’d be an excellent complement/insurance policy.

 

22.  PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State—Ike Taylor retired, which saddened every non-Steelers receiver in the division, and Waynes gets the chance to replace him in the toaster.

 

23.  DETROIT LIONS: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin—Of the three plays in the Lions playbook that don’t call for Matt Stafford to throw it at Calvin Johnson’s face, one of them will require a really slick running back to pick up a few yards every now and again. Teaming with Joique Bell could set the Lions up for a strong post-season push to their usual first round ouster.

 

24.  ARIZONA CARDINALS: Owa Odighizuwa, OLB, UCLA—As exciting and fruitful as the imminent Logan Thomas Era will be for both America and the NFL, Bruce Arians is still going to have to try and keep the opponent from scoring every now and again. “Dig” is a wild card prospect who, if his surgically-repaired hips stay in one piece, can make a major impact on an already loaded defense.

 

25.  CAROLINA PANTHERS: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC—There were times last season, when Cam Newton was throwing it to a healthy Kelvin Benjamin, that Cam’s smile looked just a little less fake. Not totally un-fake, mind you, but just not-fake enough. Pseudo-unfake.

 

26.  BALTIMORE RAVENS: Danielle Hunter, OLB, LSU—Ozzie Newsome doesn’t reach. You reach. Other people reach. When Ozzie Newsome picks a guy, it’s because that’s where God willed that guy to be picked. Except for Sergio Kindle. That guy sucked.

 

27.  TRADE: MINNESOTA VIKINGS (fr. Dallas Cowboys): TJ Clemmings, OT, Pitt—The story here is that the Vikings finally get the Cowboys to blink and trade their first round pick for Adrian Peterson. Jerry Jones, wearing a torn, blood-soaked $5,000 shirt, appears with Rich Eisen to discuss the trade and, also, to express how sad it is that Stephen Jones’ battered body was found stuffed in a bathroom stall only minutes before, his necrotic hand gripping a flashcard that reads “Shaq Thompson.”

 

28.  DENVER BRONCOS: Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota—This is the season we get to hear Phil Simms and Jim Nantz explain to us how Peyton Manning has developed the best knuckle curveball in the history of modern professional sport.

 

29.  INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: DJ Humphries, OT, Florida—The Colts need about 20 different things but they have Andrew Luck so it doesn’t matter who they draft, I guess, so, hey, take an offensive tackle who can bust and it won’t matter because Andrew Luck. Football sucks.

 

30.  GREEN BAY PACKERS: Bernardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State—If the Packers look weak anywhere, it’s at whatever linebacker spot Clay Matthews isn’t playing.

 

31.  NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: PJ Williams, CB, FSU—The Saints let Rob Ryan have his choice at this pick and he asks if he can be a head coach instead. He is told no. Sean Payton injects 500 cc’s of Ativan into his eye socket.

 

32.  NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Hau’oli Kikaha, OLB, Washington—Does this pick make any sense? No. Does Belichick care what we think? No. Has Belichick made a career out of picking third rounders in the first round, turning them into halfway decent contributors, and by doing so simultaneously mocking every human alive? Yes. Kikaha goes on to average 23 sacks per season for twelve years and then retires to star in his own sitcom (described as “like Seinfeld, but with Polynesians”). The show airs to critical scorn, but is a ratings hit and, through syndication, has an episode airing somewhere in the world at all times, forever.

[SayNoToDMC]

Tom Shane?!? That guys an a$$hole. I hope he's also a visionary cause I'd love Mariota to fall to us for a trade.

 

 

I think Bud Dupree is going to be a disaster if he goes top 10. Him and Armstead of the hyped defenseman look the most like hot garbage to me from the little game tape I've watched

[Il Mostro]

Well thought out T0m.  Bravo!  This is one of your infrequent moments of lucidity and alacrity.  Great rationale for each pick.  #6 is especially tasty.  Who would have thunk it?

[SenorGato]

I got two picks In before T0mShane's cutesy, light humor started to sicken me.

[RutgersJetFan]

Wait, he really did have an upcoming mock draft? This makes that line so much less funny now.

[SenorGato]

Wait, he really did have an upcoming mock draft? This makes that line so much less funny now.

I think deep down you knew he was serious.

[brian101193]

I dont hate the trade, dont love the picks though

[SenorGato]

I dont hate the trade, dont love the picks though

Same. Erving and Smith aren't necessarily bad prospects, especially Smith, but they're weird fits here. A LG/C prospect to start would be a bit of a gut punch.

[BurnleyJet]

Don't love the guard with the trade down pick.

[SayNoToDMC]

Same. Erving and Smith aren't necessarily bad prospects, especially Smith, but they're weird fits here. A LG/C prospect to start would be a bit of a gut punch.

 

 

I don't like the idea of taking a guard high but I could live with it if we trade down. I've already threatened to burn my house down if we take Scherff at 6 so I hope that doesn't happen cause I'm not about to look like a liar

[SenorGato]

It'd be so much simpler to just take Dupree.

[Gas2No99]

I actually LOVE the Erving pick. @ #19 he's Damien Woody all over again: A PRO BOWL lineman. Not ProBowl C, or ProBowl Right/Left Guard, or ProBowl RT, he'll excel anywhere like Woody did. 

 

If those crazy trades come to fruition & the Jets come out w/#19, I think the Erving pick is GENIUS. 

 

Don't like the #20 pick. I'd swing for the fences w/DGB who could learn well under solid veteran WRs Decker, Marshall, & Kerley.

 

I LOLed at the DAllas trade. I truly envision that happening. THanks Tom!

[SenorGato]

If he's a Woody, buy him when he hits FA like everyone but Woody's first team did.

[Greenseed4]

Erving at 19, Melvin Gordon at 20, would make this draft for me.

[Clementi49]

Let's hope that doesn't happen for the Jets sake.

[Raideraholic]

If the draft were to break that way. The Raiders would pick Dante Fowler( not trading back) . The Raiders defense coordinator is Ex Seattle lb coach Ken Norton Jr . ( If they play defense similiar to Seattle) Dante Fowler would be the perfect Leo in that defense.

Khalil Mack ( Sam) and Dante Fowler( Leo ) would be a nightmare for offensive coordinators to deal with.

The Raiders aren't going Wr in the first round.( kills me because I love Amari Cooper )

[T0mShane]

Wait, he really did have an upcoming mock draft? This makes that line so much less funny now.

In my mind, I always have a mock draft cookin' up.

[T0mShane]

It'd be so much simpler to just take Dupree.

Oghodupree*

[slats]

If Mariota falls that far, and I'm the Native American Slurs, I either go out of my way to trade him to somebody else, or I do everything I can to fleece my division rival - before the Jets are on the clock.

[afosomf]

The Jets need to draft a stud, not settle for 2 average players. If board flows this way and they pass on White, Mac will be off to a rocky start and he also better pray that M&M will turn out to be a wet fart or else 2nd billboard will be up quickly.

 

I think Mac will go the Stud route and take White

[GREENBEAN]

I dont hate the trade, dont love the picks though

I felt the same way. Such thunder with the trade only to fail with the selections. Booooooooooooooo!

do you still play with your Barbies too?

[Integrity28]

Self-importance is a terrible thing to waste.

[SouthernJet]

Probably end up w/Cooper/White or Gurley. Add a weapon. If Gurley we might get him by trading down 2-4 spots and picking up a extra pick to boot.

[Dcat]

Probably end up w/Cooper/White or Gurley. Add a weapon. If Gurley we might get him by trading down 2-4 spots and picking up a extra pick to boot.

 

 

No want Gurley with a top 10 pick.  No no no.  RB class is just too damned good to throw a precious 1st rounder for Gurley.  In this RBBC league, you are just not getting good value by investing such a high pick in a RB.  I'd be more happy with Duke or Abdullah in rd 3 and spend our round 1 on something with greater separation from the rest of the field.  This year, I think the 2 WRs, Cooper and White  + Parker to a degree are miles ahead of the rest.  

[Obrien2Toon]

This is great stuff. You need to start a blog. Maybe for fantasy football or something, reminds me of Razzball for fantasy baseball

[SouthernJet]

why I said only via a trade down..

[Obrien2Toon]

I'd go Erving, Gordon there. And hope Smith fell to 37. Or there are a whole bunch of Olb/de that will be there

[afosomf]

Cheats are taking either Gregory or Ray in rd 1 and will take Aaron Hernandez's cousin in rd 2, jeff dahmer's nephew in rd 3.......

 

 

Bank on it

[afosomf]

From what I hear Jax is taking Cooper, poor Coop stuck with terrible Bortles

[YankeeJet22]

If Mariota is at 6, he's a Jet.

[section314]

Tom...love the comment on the Vikings/Cowboys at #27. Classic!

[JiFtheOracle]

Probably the worst mock I've ever seen.

[CTM]

Probably the worst mock I've ever seen.

 

i mock this mock!

[Pcola]

I would have to admit that if some how Mariota slipped to 6 (no possible way in hell) and we didn't take him, I would lose a lot of faith in our front office.

I could almost understand taking White over moving down and drafting 2 marginally talented players like Erving and Smith over elite talent.
