The 2015 NFL Combine wraps up in Indy on Monday with defensive backs hoping to catch the eye of their future NFL team. Using observations and stats gathered over the past few days, Dan Kadar over at Mocking the Draft has updated his 2015 NFL mock draft.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
2. Tennessee Titans: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Leonard Williams, DT, Southern California
4. Oakland Raiders: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
5. Washington Redskins: Randy Gregory, DE/OLB, Nebraska
6. New York Jets: Dante Fowler, DE/OLB, Florida
7. Chicago Bears: Bud Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky
8. Atlanta Falcons: Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
9. New York Giants: La’el Collins, OT, LSU
And, barring an unforeseen trade, the St. Louis Rams select...
10. St. Louis Rams: Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
"At the Combine, some fears about Scherff were put to rest when his arms measured more than 33 inches. His 10-yard split times in the 40-yard dash, an indicator of explosiveness for an offensive lineman, were also a positive indicator."
Scherff is, and has been, a popular name amongst Rams’ fans. And rightfully so. The team may be in need of three new offensive lineman in 2015, and Scherff - 2014’s Outland Trophy Winner - could very well be the first lineman off the board...
NFL Network’s draft expert Mike Mayock
thinks so.

Scherff is scheduled to have a formal meeting with the Rams at some point in the near future. Other teams are sure to follow.
