10 Overrated NFL 2015 Draft Picks

Head-scratching picks from the 2015 NFL Draft.

Every year, the NFL Draft offers huge opportunities for players to change their lives, colleges to get their names on the map, and NFL teams to shape their future by snapping up the next crop of outstanding talent. But while the draft is the ideal time for a team to patch up holes and invest in a brighter future, the opportunities are finely balanced with risk. Every single player in the draft represents a risk, whether they are the overall first pick star quarterback or Mr Irrelevant picked at the very end, NFL teams must painstakingly research each player to ensure they don't miss out on a potential bargain at any point throughout proceedings. QB Jameis Winston was this year's first pick, and while he is expected to thrive as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers playmaker, there are no 100% guarantees that he will fully adapt to the step up from college football to the NFL. Some valuable players were taken a long way into the draft, potentially shrewd moves, but there's also a cluster of players who went higher than many expected. Of course they could do well, but as things stand, a lot of players are looking overrated in terms of talent, how highly they were picked, and whether they were even required by the team that chose them. Taking all of those factors into account, let's look at 10 of the most overrated players from the 2015 Draft.
