Draft Preview #1

So here it is, my first draft preview for the 2015 NFL draft coming up in late April. I have to say that the NFL draft is one of my favorite sports events. Teams in the league are giving these athletes the potential to be great players in the most prolific sports league in the world. I can't imagine what it would be like to get your name called by the NFL commissioner at the podium, and have you walk up to officially be named a player in the National Football League. So today I am going to talk about the top draft picks in the 2015 draft and what the teams need safe around the league. So lets get into it!

First of all, Lets talk about the 49ers draft options this year. So because of the free agent loses like Michael Crabtree and Stevie Johnson, The Niners are bound to pick a wide receiver early in the draft. There are some crazy receiver options in this years draft, which names include Amari Cooper, Kevin White, Devante Parker, etc. I think that the Niners have a very good chance of getting Devante Parker. Although it would be really nice to get the very physical, 6 foot 3 inch, 215 pound wide receiver that also has some blazing speed. Unfortunately, Kevin White is bound to be taken much earlier than the Niners will be able to pick. Another option that the 49ers can take would be to get a linebacker in the draft. Because of the recent word of Patrick Willis retiring, the Niners are really going to need another linebacker to be able to stop the run and cover in the passing game. Patrick Willis was an extremely versatile player that will be very hard to replace, but with Borland behind him, there is still potential to have another great linebacker by the side of Navarro Bowman.

A big question going on around the league, is who will be the number one draft pick? I believe that Jameis Winston is going to be the top pick in the draft. He is an amazing quarterback with great arm strength and the ability to roll out of the pocket. Although he ran just under a 5 flat 40 yard dash, he has the in game speed and quickness to compete at the next level. Plus, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in desperate need of a franchise quarterback that will take them to big places in the future. Another option would be for the Bucs to pick Leonard Williams. Williams is a giant in the gaps and has the quickness of a linebacker. His strength is unmatchable and he is a beast all over the field. His presence on the football field is one that all teams would like to have.
