Round 1
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State: Though questions still remain about Winston's maturity, from a purely football perspective, he is an excellent match in Tampa Bay as he has the awareness, accuracy, and arm strength to take full advantage of the Bucs' massive pass-catchers. Winston has Pro Bowl talent and makes Tampa Bay instantly competitive in a very winnable NFC South.
2. Tennessee Titans -- Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon: Whether the Titans select Mariota or trade this pick to another team (the Browns or Eagles appear most likely), sources throughout the league expect the reigning Heisman Trophy winner to come off the board at No. 2. Mariota isn't as pro-ready as Winston but he has all of the traits to be a franchise quarterback.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama: Giving second-year quarterback Blake Bortles the most pro-ready receiver in the draft helps Jacksonville more than adding another pass rusher to a squad that already finished sixth in the NFL in sacks a season ago.
4. Oakland Raiders -- Leonard Williams, DT, Southern California: Arguably the best defender in the draft fell into the Raiders' lap a year ago with Khalil Mack. Williams has said he would like to play for the Raiders and would complement Mack, giving Oakland its first fearsome defensive front in a long time.
5. Washington Redskins -- Dante Fowler Jr., DE/OLB, Florida: With the draft's most pro-ready pass rusher still available, Washington is able to quickly replace free-agent departure Brian Orakpo -- who the club attempted to keep.
6. New York Jets -- Kevin White, WR, West Virginia: New general manager Mike Macaggnan and head coach Todd Bowles have no ties to incumbent quarterback Geno Smith and could make a bold play for Mariota. If standing pat, adding arguably the most gifted receiver in the draft could give Smith the trio of receivers (along with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker) necessary to knock the CB-needy Patriots off their perch in the AFC East.
7. Chicago Bears -- Danny Shelton, DT, Washington: Any debate as to the direction of Chicago's pick could be answered if both of the top receivers are off the board. John Fox's allegiance lies on the defensive line anyway and he and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio may see Shelton as the ideal building block at nose guard.
8. Atlanta Falcons -- Vic Beasley, DE, Clemson: The Falcons brought in former Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as head coach to bring some intensity and pass rush to Atlanta. Pound for pound, Beasley is the most explosive edge rusher in the draft.
9. New York Giants -- Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa: The Giants could be intrigued by some of the edge rushers still on the board but if Scherff -- the draft's best offensive lineman -- is available, he would make too much sense to pass up.
10. St. Louis Rams -- Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami: The Rams developed a fearsome defensive line with the picks gained in the 2012 Robert Griffin III trade but reinforcements are still needed on the opposite side. Like 2014 No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson, Flowers is a mauler in the running game.
11. Minnesota Vikings -- Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State: Given the receivers Minnesota faces each year in the NFC North, it wouldn't be a surprise to see defensive-minded head coach Mike Zimmer push for another long-lanky corner for his scheme, especially should the top talent at the position fall in his lap.
12. Cleveland Browns -- Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida: If the Browns are unable (or unwilling) to trade up for Mariota, filling holes at wide receiver and along the line of scrimmage would become the priority. Perriman has the explosiveness to replace Josh Gordon as a vertical threat and could emerge as a true No. 1 target if he eliminated some of the drops. Watch out for this pick (or No. 19 overall) going to Philadelphia in a deal for veteran quarterback Sam Bradford.
13. New Orleans Saints -- Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky: With two first-round picks but multiple needs after jettisoning Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Ben Grubbs, the Saints could go in a variety of directions here. Providing defensive coordinator Rob Ryan with an explosive rusher like Dupree could provide the greatest immediate impact.
14. Miami Dolphins -- Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia: With his surgically repaired knee reportedly earning positive reviews from NFL doctors on April 17, Gurley is likely to get a late bump up draft boards. By already investigating a trade into the top 10 for a receiver, Miami appears committed to making a big splash on draft day, similar to the aggressive move made in free agency with the signing of Ndamukong Suh.
