About 2015 NFL Draft in brief

Summary 2015 NFL DraftThe 2015 NFL Draft was the 80th annual meeting of National Football League franchises to select newly eligible football players. It took place in Chicago at the Auditorium Theatre and in Grant Park, from April 30 to May 2. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers held the right to select first because they had the league’s worst record in the previous season. The Arizona Cardinals made the final pick in the draft, commonly called Mr. Irrelevant. It was the first time that two Heisman trophy winners were selected with the first two overall picks.

This draft has been debated on whether it is one of the worst, as both Mariota and Winston no longer play for their respective teams, all 22 running backs no longer playing for their original team, although many stars and Pro-bowlers came from this draft. A supplemental draft was held on July 9, 2015. Seven players were available, but only one was selected.
