2015 NFL Draft: Stripe Hype’s Final First Round Mock
Could Melvin Gordon help reverse the trend of running backs being devalued during the NFL Draft? Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
17. San Diego Chargers
Wisconsin. Melvin Gordon. 17. player. 13. Todd Gurley is gone and Melvin Gordon is up. Ryan Mathews left in free agency, which leaves a huge void at running back for the Chargers, and as long as they can fix his fumbling problem, they may have upgraded with Gordon.. Running Back
18. Kansas City Chiefs
124. If not for his foot injury, Strong might go a bit earlier than 18. The Chiefs need help at wide receiver, and once healthy, Strong will step right in and contribute.. Wide Receiver. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong. 18. player
19. Tennessee Titans (from Browns)
19. player. 35. Having a very good night thus far in the NFL draft, the Titans decide to go BPA, and right now that Armstead. He needs to get a more consistent motor, but a very good value pick at this point in the draft.. Defensive End. Oregon. Arik Armstead
20. Philadelphia Eagles
54. Everyone and there sister knew that Chip was going to try and trade for Winston…..Just kidding. He wanted Mariota, but he came to his senses on not trading everything the Eagles’ own and he selects some help for Sam Bradford.. Wide Receiver. UCF. Breshad Perriman. 20. player
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Wide Receiver. Oklahoma. Dorial Green-Beckham. 21. player. 56. As seen in the playoffs, we need help at receiver. Yes, there was a lot of injuries last year and Jones never touched the field, but you also have to worry about contracts next year. The Bengals are going to lose at least one, if not two, of their starting three.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers
player. 55. The Steelers must come out of Day One with help in the secondary. The entire secondary was covered my medicare last year and with recent retirements this is a must pick.. Safety. Alabama. Landon Collins. 22
23. Detroit Lions
50. Easiest pick in this entire draft, the Lions draft the best defensive tackle available.. Defensive Tackle. Texas. Malcom Brown. 23. player
24. Arizona Cardinals
24. player. 32. The Cardinals are another team that has a few needs, but the value of drafting Cameron Erving this late is to great to pass up. He can play center or either of the guard spot and not only play them, but be one the best at them.. Center. Florida State. Cameron Erving
