First 2015 NFL Mock Draft

With the NFL taking the week off before Super Bowl XLIX (the Pro Bowl does not count), it is time for the first Mock Draft of the season.

Believe it or not, all but two teams are looking ahead to the 2015 NFL Draft.  Even with that, New England and Seattle probably have one eye towards it too.

This mock draft is the first of several that will come out.  This first one covers the first 96 picks.  The only picks not definite are the last two, which depend on the outcome of the Super Bowl.  You can take a sneak peek at who I am picking for it too.

Florida State QB Jameis Winston is my number one pick, going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  While his off-the-field behavior is not as great as Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, Winston is better suited to being plugged into a pro-style offense.
