2015 NFL Mock Draft: Three Rounds
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
I kicked off draft season here at BGO with my first Bears mock draft this week. For those of you who care about other teams besides our beloved Bears I have a recap of my first three rounds below. Eventually I will expand the mock to all seven rounds like last year, but I am going to wait until the compensatory picks are announced since they will impact which players are available in the later rounds.
For accuracy purposes I have taken an average of the players draft slots on multiple mock drafts¹ to get an idea which players are going to be available in certain rounds. If you have any issues with my picks this year or notice any mistakes, please let me know in the comments or on Twitter.
