Just an interesting look at who the top college prospects are expected to be.
NFL - Way-too-early 2015 NFL mock draft - ESPN
1. Oakland Raiders (FBO projected record: 4-12): Leonard Williams*, DL, USC
The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Williams can move extremely well for his size, and that translated to him being very disruptive and productive for the Trojans in 2013. He showed impressive awareness, quickness and a good motor.
2. Cleveland Browns (6-10): Amari Cooper*, WR, Alabama
The Browns didn't take a receiver in the 2014 draft, so we'll give them one early here. Cooper was banged up early on last season but by the end of the year he was back to his dominant freshman-year form. He has good savvy and body control to go with his size and speed.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-10): Cedric Ogbuehi*, OL, Texas A&M
The Aggies have had an offensive lineman taken in the top 10 of the draft in back-to-back seasons, and Ogbuehi has flashed the potential to become the third. He has played both guard and tackle at A&M and figures to be one of the top offensive linemen in the nation in 2014.
4. Washington Redskins (6-10): Dante Fowler Jr.*, DE, Florida
Fowler plays with an edge and a high-revving motor, and has maintained his speed to this point in his career even while adding bulk. He has good explosiveness and closing burst, and violent hands. The Gators have played him all along the defensive line and at outside linebacker.
5. New York Jets (6-10): Jameis Winston*, QB, Florida State
If this scenario were to unfold and the Jets went 6-10 next season, chances are they'd be looking for a QB. There's no denying the Heisman-winning Winston's talent -- he shows good arm strength and accuracy to go with very good pocket presence and decision-making -- but his maturity and behavior off the field will be watched closely.
6. Minnesota Vikings (6-10): Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
Ekpre-Olomu should be one of the top cornerbacks in college football this season. He is a fluid and flexible athlete with good ball skills and playmaking ability, and he is also a willing run defender.
7. St. Louis Rams (6-10): Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
The Rams would continue to build their offensive line in this scenario with the selection of Scherff, who brings prototypical size to the left tackle position at 6-5, 320 pounds.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9): Marcus Mariota*, QB, Oregon
Mariota was one of the nation's top quarterbacks last season, and by returning to Oregon he'll have the opportunity to improve upon his mechanics and accuracy and come closer to fulfilling his very high upside. He's a big-time running threat because of his speed and size combo (6-4, 211 pounds).
9. Miami Dolphins (7-9): Mario Edwards Jr.*, DE, Florida State
Edwards was one of the key contributors to the Seminoles' national-title-winning defense last season. The former No. 1 overall recruit, Edwards has good size at 6-3, 277 pounds.
10. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo Bills): Landon Collins*, S, Alabama
As part of the trade that allowed the Bills (projected by Football Outsiders to finish 7-9 next season) to move up from the ninth pick to the fourth pick to draft Sammy Watkins, the Browns now own Buffalo's 2015 first-round pick -- in this case, a top-10 selection. Collins brings great speed and playmaking to the safety position.
11. Dallas Cowboys (7-9): Nelson Agholor*, WR, USC
Agholor is keeping up USC's tradition of talented wide receivers. At 6-foot, 185 pounds, Agholor has good speed and the ability to make defenders miss with the ball in his hands (8 total TDs).
12. Atlanta Falcons (7-9): Shilique Calhoun*, DE/OLB, Michigan State
Calhoun recorded 7.5 sacks last season on a very good Michigan State defense, and he could be one of the best defenders in the country in 2014. He has good size at 6-4, 250 pounds.
13. Detroit Lions (7-9): P.J. Williams*, CB, Florida State
Williams had an impressive 2013 campaign in a very talented Seminoles secondary, including coming up with an interception in FSU's BCS title game victory over Auburn. At 6-foot, 190 pounds, he has good size for a corner.
14. Kansas City Chiefs (7-9): Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State
Greene's teammate Kelvin Benjamin went in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft, but it was actually Greene who was the Seminoles' most prolific receiver (and according to Winston, its most reliable). He hauled in 76 passes for 1,128 yards (both team highs).
