The2015 NFL draft was the 80th annual meeting ofNational Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligiblefootball players. It took place inChicago at theAuditorium Theatre and inGrant Park, from April 30 to May 2.[1][2] This was the firstNFL draft held outside New York City in fifty years (since the1965 NFL draft).[3] The 2015 NFL draft was the first to feature a companion outdoor fair, where fans would be able to see theCommissioner during the selection on the Auditorium Theatre stage from across the street in the park; this area was called Draft Town.[4] TheTampa Bay Buccaneers held the right to select first because they had the league's worst record in theprevious season. TheArizona Cardinals made the final pick in the draft, commonly calledMr. Irrelevant.
One of the major storylines approaching the NFL draft was the competition between the previous twoHeisman Trophy winners,Jameis Winston winning the award in 2013 andMarcus Mariota in 2014. Both were considered excellent prospects and had the potential to become the first overall draft selection. Winston was considered to be a more polishedpocket passer andpro-style quarterback, but had several off-the-field issues while playing atFlorida State, ranging from a sexual assault allegation to shoplifting incidents. Mariota was considered a better athlete, the fastest quarterback in the draft, and had a better off-the-field reputation. However, Mariota ran aspread offense atOregon which typically had not transitioned well from college to the NFL.[5] Although neither was considered a perfectly safe pick, the two quarterbacks were selected first and second overall. This was only the sixth time in NFL history that this has occurred (1971,1993,1998,1999,2012, and subsequently2016,2021,2023, and2024).[6] It was also the first time that two Heisman trophy winners were selected with the first two overall picks.[7] All 22running backs selected no longer play for their original team or have already retired.
Shortly before the draft, the NFL shortened the amount of time for certain selections to be made.[8] The time for seventh-round selections was reduced from five minutes to four minutes; similarly, the time for all compensatory selections, which cannot be traded, was reduced from seven minutes to four minutes.
Seventy-four underclassmen announced their intention to forgo their remainingNCAA eligibility and declare themselves available to be selected in the draft. An additional ten players who graduated but were still eligible to play college football chose to enter the draft, bringing to 84 the total number of players who chose to forgo college eligibility to enter the draft.[9]
The following is the breakdown of the 256 players selected byposition:[10]
The draft order is based generally on each team'srecord from the previous season, with teams which qualified for thepostseason selecting after those which failed to make the playoffs.[11] TheTampa Bay Buccaneers andTennessee Titans each finished2014 with league-worst2–14 records. The Buccaneers were awarded the first pick in round one due to having a worse strength of schedule.[12] The selection order for subsequent rounds follows the order of the first round, except that teams with the similar records (and the same playoff result for playoff teams) rotate selections round-by-round (e.g. the Titans picked first in the second round).
In addition to the seven picks each team is given (one in each round), the league allocated thirty-two (32) supplemental picks at the ends of round 3 through 7, for a total of 256 picks. The supplemental picks are awarded to teams who had net losses of free agent talent from the previous year.
