If you want to know why the Rams trade first round picks for proven studs

look no further then the 2015 NFL draft 1st round. What an absolute mess.



1 Jameis Winston QB Tampa Bay Buccaneers - free agent, looking like bust material
2 Marcus Mariota QB Tennessee Titans - free agent looking like bust material
3 Dante Fowler Jr. OLB Jacksonville Jaguars - got paid, but on his 3rd team in 5 years
4 Amari Cooper WR Oakland Raiders - got paid, but on his 2nd team
5 Brandon Scherff OG Washington Redskins - good pick
6 Leonard Williams DT New York Jets - meh, on 2nd team
7 Kevin White WR Chicago Bears - injuries have basically ruined him
8 Vic Beasley OLB Atlanta Falcons - still looking to get back to his rookie year
9 Ereck Flowers OG New York Giants - nope
10 Todd Gurley RB St. Louis Rams - broken
11 Trae Waynes CB Minnesota Vikings - OK, not a top 10 draft pick
12 Danny Shelton NT Cleveland Browns - OK but on his 3rd team
13 Andrus Peat OT New Orleans Saints - good, but as an OG, not a OT
14 DeVante Parker WR Miami Dolphins - Nope, not really
15 Melvin Gordon RB San Diego Chargers - on 2nd team
16 Kevin Johnson CB Houston Texans - on second team and started 1 game last year, no picks
17 Arik Armstead ILB San Francisco 49ers - good pick
18 Marcus Peters CB Kansas City Chiefs - Finally found a home after 2 previous tries?
19 Cameron Erving C Cleveland Browns - Not sure he's even in the league
20 Nelson Agholor WR Philadelphia Eagles - definition of a JAG
21 Cedric Ogbuehi OT Cincinnati Bengals - a backup on his 2nd team
22 Alvin Dupree OLB Pittsburgh Steelers - good pick, was franchised
23 Shane Ray DE Denver Broncos - out of the league
24 D.J. Humphries OT Arizona Cardinals - still starting...for the Cardinals
25 Shaq Thompson OLB Carolina Panthers - good pick
26 Breshad Perriman WR Baltimore Ravens - on third team, never had 700 yards in a year...nope
27 Byron Jones CB Dallas Cowboys - good pick. Got paid
28 Laken Tomlinson OG Detroit Lions -on 2nd team, found his groove with the niners
29 Phillip Dorsett WR Indianapolis Colts - on 2nd team, nothing special
30 Damarious Randall FS Green Bay Packers - currently unemployed after his 2nd team cut him
31 Stephone Anthony ILB New Orleans Saints - he's been OK, played for 2 teams Saints, Dolphins back to Saints...
32 Malcom Brown DT New England Patriots - On his 2nd team, but a good player as a plugger in the middle.

So how many decent players came out of the 1st round? less then a handful IMO. And this is 5 years later. And the 2nd round is full of guys whose names I can hardly recall. Just horrid.
