The 2015 NFL draft is the 80th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible football players. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold the right to select first due to the fact they compiled the league's worst record in the previous season. The Arizona Cardinals will make the final pick in the draft, commonly called Mr. Irrelevant. Because this pick is a supplemental pick and cannot be traded, the Cardinals are assured of picking last.
One of the major story lines approaching the NFL Draft is the competition between the previous two Heisman Trophy winners, Jameis Winston winning the award in 2013 and Marcus Mariota in 2014. Both are considered excellent prospects and have the potential to become the first overall draft selection. Winston is considered to be a more polished pocket passer and pro-style quarterback, but has had several off the field issues while playing at Florida State, ranging from sexual assault allegations to shoplifting incidents. Mariota is considered a better athlete, the fastest quarterback in the draft, and has a better off-the-field reputation. However, Mariota ran a spread offense at Oregon which typically has not transitioned well from college to the NFL. Although both have issues, analysts predict a very large margin between the two in relation to the other quarterbacks of the draft.[5]
