The 2015 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. On Thursday, April 30th, all 32 NFL teams will assemble in Chicago, Illinois to pick from the crop of this year’s draft class.

The draft class this season appears to be a little top-heavy, with a lot of impact players being available at the very beginning of the draft. General consensus seems to be that the prospects who are expected to be available from the later stages of the first round are about the same as the prospects who are expected to be available in the second round.

After the top eight or so picks are off the board, the sweet spot in the draft is in the 25-70 range, at least according to general consensus around the industry. Because of that, I have decided to not only include all of the first round picks in this mock draft, but the entire second round as well.

While it may not get as much attention, each year the second round is loaded with NFL prospects who can make an immediate impact on the field. This year seems to be no different, so including the second round in my mock draft was a no-brainer.

Tampa Bay holds the first overall pick in this year’s draft, and like most years, it is fairly obvious who they will select. That being said, as soon as the Titans are on the clock with the second pick, things could get interesting.

Do they keep it simple and take one of the two expected NFL starting quarterbacks? Will one of the dominant defensive players in this class be under consideration? Will they entertain trade offers? Everything seems to be on the table at this point.

One thing is for sure, the draft will once again be an entertaining affair. It is always interesting to see who our favorite teams select to be the future faces of the franchise.

If you’re like me, then you cannot wait until the draft to try to figure out who your favorite team will select. While predicting what will happen in the draft is an incredibly difficult thing to do, based on team needs and the players who are deemed to be the best in the class, we can give it our best shot with educated guesses.

Without further ado, here is a two-round 2015 NFL Mock Draft complete with trades throughout.
