2015 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Combine Edition

Teddy Bridgewater is another young quarterback who played pretty well in his first year, and like David Carr in Oakland, it’s time to get him some receivers. Parker is someone Bridgewater is familiar with, and at 6 foot 2, provides a nice target who will fight for the ball when it is in the air. The Vikings could use some help on the O-Line, but everybody but the Cowboys could use another guy in the trenches. I’m sure Teddy Bridgewater would do a little more scrambling if he can get a target like Parker.. Wide Receiver. Louisville. Devante Parker. 11. player. 60

12. player. 53. The Browns need some help on the Defensive Line, and I think someone like the 6 foot 3, 315 pounder could fill a lot of holes on the D-Line. He can play Nose Tackle, and move out to the DE position in the 3-4. Goldman is a run-stopper, and won’t provide much of a pass-rush, but he is physical, and strong. He would be a good fit with Cleveland unless they look up the board to find a quarterback.. Defensive Tackle. Florida State. Eddie Goldman

15. The former Gator played on the D-Line, and provided an edge pass rush in Florida, but would need to put on some weight to play in the NFL. Fowler played through the SEC, but even as big as players are in that conference, I don’t see him playing in the trenches at the NFL level without growing a little. He will fit perfectly in Rob Ryan’s defense, and provide a quality pass rush in the Big Easy.  . Linebacker. Florida. Dante Fowler Jr.. 13. player

14. player. 59. Marcus Peters, from Washington might be a better fit here, but he comes with baggage and the Fins don’t need this kind of problem after the problems with Ritchie Cognito. They need some help at inside linebacker, or safety, but would take a talented Cornerback with the kind of skills Waynes has. Waynes has great ball skills, has long arms, and has the potential to become agreat cover corner in the NFL.. Cornerback. Michigan State. Trae Waynes

Kevin White. 15. player. 42. Most are saying Kevin White will go to Minnesota with the 11th pick, but I thought Devante Parker made a better pick there because of the Bridgewater connection in Louisville. That still leaves the 49ers needing a wide receiver, and from what I saw at the Scouting Combine, they won’t get cheated. The West Virginia standout would be a nice addition to the stable of wide outs in the City by the Bay. He’s big, and has tremendous ball skills. What more could you want for a wide receiver?. Wide Receiver. West Virginia

Ereck Flowers. 16. player. 10. The biggest need in Houston, is a quarterback, but the good ones are already taken. Who can’t use a 6 foot 6, 325 pound Offensive Tackle? Ereck Flowers needs some coaching, but he will make a nice fit in Texas’ other big city, and in time, be good protection for who ever ends up under center with the Texans. Flowers played on both sides of the quarterback in Miami, but I think good coaching will find the right spot for him, but could be a fill-in on either side.. Offensive Tackle. Miami (Fla.)

Carl Davis. 17. player. 13. The Bolts could use another big body on the Defensive Line to light a fire under incumbents, Sean Lissemore, and Ryan Carrethers. At 6 foor 4 and 318 the former Hawkeye has some speed off the ball, and redirects quickly. He had been up and down during his time in Iowa, and played well at the Senior Bowl. Stats show us he penetrates quickly, with 94 career tackles, 14.5 were for a loss, and he had 3.5 sacks. He could play the nose in San Diego’s 3-4 Defense.. Defensive Tackle. Iowa

124. The Chiefs had trouble scoring through the air in 2014, and although the Ohio State standout is not the top receiver on the board, he is probably the best deep-threat guy remaining. He could provide Alex Smith with a down-the-field option the Chiefs haven’t had in a while. The 6-1 Senior came on in the second half of the season, once the Buckeyes settled the QB position, and was a big reason they were able to win the National Championship. In four years at Columbus, Smith had 121 receptions with 2507 yards, and  found the end-zone 30 times.. Wide Receiver. Ohio State. Devin Smith. 18. player

Wide Receiver. Michigan. Devin Funchess. 19. player. 53. The Browns get a second bite of the apple after their trade last year when the Bills moved up to take Sammy Watkins. With the uncertainty that continually surrounds Josh Gordon, it’s time to get a Wide Receiver on board. At 6-4 and 235, this kid is a proto-typical NFL receiver, who played Tight End, and on the outside. In the NFL, he will be able to play the X wide. He had to deal with an unsettled QB situation in Ann Arbor last year, but has a passion for the game, and has an excellent football mind. Unfortunately, he may be dealing with the same quarterback problem in Cleveland.

54. I’m not convinced that Chip Kelly will not put some kind of deal on the table that would bring Marcus Mariota to Philly, but this Mock is a no-trade Mock, and we will go ahead and plan for the Eagles to make a regular pick here. The general consensus has the Eagles looking for a Defensive Back, and in particular, a Safety. At 6 foot, 190, Peters can play both DB positions. The Washinton Junior has excellent cover skills, to go along with good ball skills, and he’s tough. In three years in the Pac-12, he had 129 tackles, with 11 interceptions.  Peters comes with some baggage, he was kicked off the the team last year for behavioral issues. Chip Kelly has experience in the college ranks, and may be able to handle this kid.. Cornerback. Washington. Marcus Peters. 20. player
