2015 NFL Draft Re-Mock: Round 1 – Picks 17-32

This is a 2015 NFL Draft Re-Mock. I’m going back to 2015 and re-distributing all of the 2015 NFL Draft prospects to all of the teams in the 2015 NFL Draft order. This 2015 NFL Draft Re-Mock is based on how these players have performed in their careers, as well as the needs each team had back in 2015.

Posted Feb. X, 2019. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

  1. San Diego Chargers: Frank Clark, DE/OLB, Michigan
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Melvin Gordon, RB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Andrus Peat, OT

    Considering that Melvin Gordon held out in 2019 and helped derail the Chargers’ season, I don’t think he’d be the pick again. I could see them targeting an edge rusher instead. They ended up drafting Joey Bosa the following year, after all!

  2. Kansas City Chiefs: Anthony Harris, S, Virginia
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Marcus Peters, CB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Cameron Erving, OT

    The cornerbacks have dried up, but the Chiefs could’ve opted to address the other position in the secondary. They didn’t have very good safety play at the time of the 2015 NFL Draft, so Anthony Harris would’ve offered a huge upgrade.

    Pick change; previously La’el Collins, OT/G

  3. Cleveland Browns: Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Cameron Erving, OT
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: D.J. Humphries, OT

    The Browns selected Danny Shelton with their other first-round pick. It’s amazing that they squandered both opening-round choices, but here’s their chance to make amends for the Shelton pick, as Eddie Goldman turned out to be a far better nose tackle.



  4. Philadelphia Eagles: Leonard Williams, DE/DT, USC
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Nelson Agholor, WR
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Byron Jones, CB

    Nelson Agholor. Wow. Way to go, Chip Kelly.

    Anyway, the Eagles ran a 3-4 at the time of the 2015 NFL Draft, so Leonard Williams would’ve been a terrific second five-technique to go along with Fletcher Cox.

  5. Cincinnati Bengals: Mitch Morse, C/G, Missouri
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Cedric Ogbuehi, OT
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR

    I had been calling for the Bengals to upgrade center Russell Bodine for years, so this pick would have saved me lots of grief!

  6. Pittsburgh Steelers: Adrian Amos, S, Penn State
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Bud Dupree, DE/OLB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Shane Ray, DE/OLB

    I considered re-slotting Bud Dupree to the Steelers, but he was a late bloomer and didn’t always play very well for them. Adrian Amos is the better player, and Pittsburgh needed a safety in the wake of Troy Polamalu’s retirement.



  7. Detroit Lions: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Laken Tomlinson, G
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Melvin Gordon, RB

    “Reggie Bush was released earlier in the offseason, so the Lions will need to find someone to split the load with Joique Bell. Detroit’s front office typically likes picking the top player available, and Melvin Gordon could fit that description, as he has drawn comparisons to Jamaal Charles.”

    This was my write-up for the prediction Gordon pick to Detroit. Gordon didn’t last to No. 23 in real life, but he did in this redo version.

  8. Arizona Cardinals: Kwon Alexander, LB, LSU
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: D.J. Humphries, OT
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Eric Kendricks, ILB

    The Lions had a big need for a linebacker, as they would eventually pick Hasaan Reddick in another draft class. They could avoid that bust by choosing a better linebacker.

  9. Carolina Panthers: Shaq Thompson, LB/S, Washington
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Shaq Thompson, LB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jake Fisher, OT

    I mocked Shaq Thompson to the Panthers in the second round. I thought they could obtain him later, but they wisely made sure to secure him at this juncture. I think they would pick Thompson again under these circumstances.



  10. Baltimore Ravens: Bryce Callahan, CB, Rice
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Breshad Perriman, WR
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Marcus Peters, CB

    I mocked Marcus Peters to the Ravens in my final 2015 mock, but he didn’t make it to their pick. That was once again the case in the re-mock, but Baltimore could still obtain a talented cornerback with this choice.

  11. Dallas Cowboys: Arik Armstead, DE/DT, Oregon
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Byron Jones, CB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Randy Gregory, DE

    I mocked Randy Gregory to the Cowboys. They passed on him in the first round because Byron Jones dropped to No. 27, but they still managed to obtain Gregory in the second frame. The Cowboys could go with another pass rusher in the re-mock. Arik Armstead was outstanding in 2019, but struggled beforehand, so it was difficult to place him.

  12. Denver Broncos: Bud Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Shane Ray, DE/OLB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Malcolm Brown, DT

    The Broncos thought they were getting DeMarcus Ware’s heir apparent when they selected Shane Ray. He turned out to be a bust, so perhaps they’d opt for another solution at edge rusher.



  13. Indianapolis Colts: Ali Marpet, C/OT/G, Hobart
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Phillip Dorsett, WR
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Landon Collins, S

    Former general manager Ryan Grigson ruined Andrew Luck’s career by neglecting the offensive line. Luck was hit so much he was forced into early retirement. The Phillip Dorsett pick should’ve been Ali Marpet or another talented offensive lineman.

  14. Green Bay Packers: Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Damarious Randall, S
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Denzel Perryman, LB

    The Packers paid lots of money for Preston Smith in the 2019 offseason. They could’ve just cut to the chase and selected him in the 2015 NFL Draft.

  15. New Orleans Saints: Darren Waller, TE, Georgia Tech
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Stephone Anthony, LB
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Phillip Dorsett, WR

    I considered mocking Maxx Williams to the Saints back in 2015 because they had just lost Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks. Given what we saw in 2019, New Orleans would’ve been much better off with the physically gifted Darren Waller.

  16. New England Patriots: Rob Havenstein, OT, Wisconsin
    Actual 2015 NFL Draft Pick: Malcolm Brown, DT
    My 2015 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Eli Harold, DE/OLB

    The 2015 season would be the final one for Sebastian Vollmer. The former Patriot right tackle was very talented, but frequently injured, so perhaps Bill Belichick would’ve drafted an insurance policy if he knew what sort of player Rob Havenstein would become.
