2015 NFL Mock Draft: Final Competition Version

Here is my Pre-Draft 2015 NFL Mock Draft. It will be followed by a my updates heading into the NFL Draft on April 30th.

This is not a mock draft where I substitute my judgement for that of the teams. Instead, I research the opinions of those who most closely know teams, NFL scouts, insiders and beat writers from all of the NFL cities, and try to make the most educated prediction as to which way each team will go in the draft.

My mock draft has been linked by DC Pro Sports Report, Walter Football, FF Toolbox, The Huddle Report, EDS Football, NFL Pro Zach and Boyds Bets in their Mock Draft Databases, so check out all of their fantastic draft related materials and content.
