Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2015 (Continual Updates)
Here is our BGO members-centric mock for this week as we get closer to the draft. On Mondays, we will post mocks that have no trades. Wednesdays will feature mocks that have minimal trades. Thursdays will showcase a mock that centers on BGO member preferences. Fridays will feature mocks that have multiple trades.
Feel free to offer your own ideas about the draft, free agency, team cuts, and anything else related to these subjects. Too, we’d like to see your mocks if you are so inclined.
Without any further delays, let’s take a look at this BGO special mock for 2015.
Mock Draft, 2015
Round One: Leonard Williams, DE/DT, Southern Cal
Here is your choice for the first round pick. Williams is, quite possibly, the best overall prospect in the draft. Due to other teams needing players at certain positions, the PAC 12 standout conveniently falls to the fifth pick. He is able to play any position on the defensive line, but will most likely be slotted as a DE. Williams is incredibly gifted with elite power, strength, explosiveness, and athleticism.

Other Possible Targets:
Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
Dante Fowler, OLB, Florida
Round Two: Cameron Erving, OG/OT/C, Florida State
Here is your choice for the second round pick. The Redskins add a stud to the offensive line. Erving is versatile and can play several positions along the line, but is seen as a guard or center for his new team. The ACC product is one of the best-rounded offensive linemen in the draft and could relegate Kory Lichtensteiger to a reserve role at guard or center.

Other Possible Targets:
Byron Jones, CB, Connecticut
Arik Armstead, DE/DT, Oregon
Eric Rowe, CB, Utah
D.J. Humphries, OG, Florida
Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon
Round Three: Tre Jackson, OG, Florida St.
Here is your choice for the third round pick. The massively sized ACC lineman is a force on the offensive line. He is another player who engages defensive linemen with a nasty attitude and with great leverage against defenders. Jackson holds his ground against the best defensive tackles and struggles a bit against pass rushing DEs. Thus, he is better on the inside and not projected to be an OT.

Other Possible Targets:
Donovan Smith, OT, Penn St.
Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB, Louisville
Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
Devin Funchess, TE/WR, Michigan
Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State
Round 4: Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan St.
Here is your choice for the fourth round pick. The Redskins add a talented free safety from one of the better teams in the nation. The Big Ten Defensive Back Of The Year has good coverage skills and closes on receivers quickly. Drummond can cheat up a bit and disrupt the short passing game and cover tight ends with ease. He will have the luxury of sitting/learning in his first year, but could get some experience along the way.

Other Possible Targets:
Durell Eskridge, FS, Syracuse
Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
Jacoby Glenn, CB, Central Florida
Jaquiski Tartt, SS, Samford
Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke
Round Five: Kaleb Eulls, DE, Mississippi St.
Here is your choice for the fifth round pick. Looking to add depth at the defensive end position, the Redskins select an underrated player from the SEC. Eulls is the epitome of a hard worker and boasts excellent size for a 3-4 DE. Often takes on double teams to free up linemen and linebackers with a great degree of success. He is not the most talented of defensive linemen, just a consistent player who plays selflessly. The following video speaks not to his football skills, but his heart and dedication as a man.

Other Possible Targets:
Adrian Amos, FS, Penn St.
Robert Myers, G, Tennessee State
Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon St.
Taiwan Jones, ILB, Michigan St.
Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio St.
Round Six: Max Garcia, C, Florida
Here is your choice for the sixth round pick. The Redskins go back to back with SEC players and this time they add to the offensive line. Coming from Gator Nation, Garcia is a team favorite and leader who visits the weight room regularly. He more than held his own at the Senior Bowl against highly rated prospects Danny Shelton and Carl Davis. He could be a day one starter.

Other Possible Targets:
Joey Mbu, DT, Houston
Darren Waller, WR, Georgia Tech
Jarvis Harrison, G, Texas A&M
Julian Wilson, CB/FS, Oklahoma
Rakeem Nunez-Roches, DT, Southern Miss
Round Seven: Nick Boyle, TE, Delaware
Here is your choice for the first of two seventh round picks. Boyle comes from the Colonial Athletic Conference and can snag his share of receptions, but blocking is his forte. In fact, his superior blocking skillset is better than that of Logan Paulsen’s. Boyle could easily end the stay of the UCLA product.

Other Possible Targets:
Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma
Austin Hill, WR, Arizona
Zachary Zenner, FB, South Dakota St.
Chris Bonner, QB, Colorado-Pueblo
John Crockett, RB, North Dakota St.
Round Seven: Connor Halliday, QB, Washington St.
Here is your choice for the second of two seventh round picks. Halliday would be rated higher, but suffered a grueling ankle injury last season. Only recently has he fully healed and was able to impress at his pro day. The Redskins GM was at the workout to see the PAC 12 record setter perform in cold, rainy, raw conditions. Some would say that Halliday has the “it” factor that McCloughan covets and could be an absolute steal at this point in the draft.
