Final NFL Mock Draft

1.    Tampa Bay                    Jameis Winston (QB, Florida State)

Famous Jameis is the most pro-style ready QB in this draft. He’s bright, he’s big, and he’s accurate. Does he possess the work ethic (it appears so) and character (still sketchy) to be the face of a franchise? The Bucs take a gamble and say yes. 

2.   Tennessee                     Marcus Mariota (QB, Oregon)

Many have the Titans taking defensive lineman supreme in Leonard Williams. All that athletic ability at 6-5, 300-plus pound is definitely intriguing. But the Titans are running a pure 3-4 defense and already have a jumbo athlete on the d-line in Jurell Casey. Maybe the Titans trade the pick but Mariota is the guy that appears to be going number 2. And if the Titans keep it, Mettenberger isn’t the answer so Mariota could be their choice.

3.   Jacksonville                   Dante Fowler, Jr. (EDGE, Florida)

Fowler is a stocky-built, powerful defender. He has plenty of speed off the edge to play the “Leo” position in Gus Bradley’s hybrid 4-3 defense. He's still somewhat raw as a pass rusher as he relies on pure speed, power and motor to get in the backfield. If he is to be a team's feature pass rusher, he will need improve his technique. Also, one of his greatest strengths, his aggressiveness, is sometimes a weakness. He is undisciplined in both the run and pass game because he is in such a haste to overwhelem his opponent. Have to respect that, but don't have to love it. He's still one of the most talented players in this draft and the Jags should feel strongly about the possibility of Fowler at number 3.

2015 NFL Free Agent Rankings: Safeties

USA Today Sports

**Each list will be continually updated as players are signed and released throughout the offseason.**

1.   Tashaun Gipson, Cleveland, 25 (RFA - second round tender)

Gipson is unhappy with the tender but has little leverage in terms of getting a long term deal. He'll be a Brown in 2015, but this messy situation may not leave him Cleveland for any longer than that.

2.   Bernard Pollard, Tennessee, 30

Pollard ended 2014 on IR and started his offseason by asking for a release from the Titans. Obviously, it was granted. Tennessee has since moved on by snagging Da'Norris Searcy as his replacement. Pollard, at 30, is going to be considered an old man by NFL standards now, but he still provides strong play as a box safety. The suspicion is that he gets signed.

3.   Jeromy Miles, Baltimore, 28

Ummm... The market is bare...

2015 NFL Free Agent Rankings: Cornerbacks

**Each list will be continually updated as players are signed and released throughout the offseason.**

1.  Tarell Brown, Oakland, 30

Brown has been a Bay Area guy. He played for the Niners before signing with Oakland last offseason. His play was decent, but was perhaps hampered by injuries.  He ended the season on the injured reserve.

2.  Aaron Ross, Baltimore, 32 

The 6-1 defensive back is no spring chicken. He could still be capable of contributing to an NFL team in the right scheme.

3. Javier Arenas, Atlanta, 27

Arenas not is a capable slot corner that doubles as a punt returner. He's exceptionally smart and relies on anticipation and quickness in both spots.
