Our rundown on the five best players in the 2015 NFL Draft. Beast mode starts with the ability to make things happen. From the quarterback position to the defensive line post, here is the breakdown in our Top 5 NFL Draft picks:
1. Jameis Winston, Florida State, quarterback.
This is the guy I want running the show. Just give him the keys, and Tampa Bay should be a better team immediately with the best Florida State quarterback since Charlie Ward did his thing back in the day.
2. Leonard Williams, USC, defensive lineman
The dominant one. Williams is going to make a team real happy and make the lives of future quarterbacks like Winston, Brett Hundley and Marcus Mariota, miserable. When you say, ” He’s coming,” that would be a direct reference to Williams. It doesn’t matter if you double or triple team this guy, Williams will get in the backfield and come with a memo stamped on his head that says “mean intentions.”
3. Marcus Mariota, Oregon, quarterback
Mr. Heisman Trophy winner can run and jump, and throw. My only question about Mariota is can he make throws under pressure the way Winston did the entire time he was at Florida State. There won’t be guys 30 yards running down the field past a defensive back in the NFL like he saw in Oregon. Mariota will discover that hitting that tight window in traffic with bodies flying around him trying to cause mayhem to him, is a lot different than the college game. Still, you have to like what he brings to the table as a new generation quarterback.
4. Brett Hundley, UCLA, quarterback
Came on the scene with a bang for UCLA. Brett Hundley could be the steal of the draft. As a lot of the experts are shying away from other QBs as elite prospects outside of Winston and Mariota, Hundley is virtually a hybrid of the two signal-callers. His game will translate into success for a team looking to develop and bring along the future. In next few years, Hundley’s name is going to be heard about a lot-in a good way. He is just as elusive as Mariota and can stand tall in the pocket like Winston. In this writer’s opinion, Hundley is prime-time for the NFL.
5. Ameer Abdullah, Nebraska, running back
I love the way this guy runs the football. Built like a tank, swift as a deer and instincts like a cat, Abdullah is the real deal. While others are circling the wagon on other running backs, Abdullah is the best of them all. When Sunday come in the fall, Abdullah will begin leaving his imprint on the league.
