Pivot points in the 2015 NFL draft

NFL, NFL Draft

In previous years, my article on the biggest pivot points in the draft has focused on specific picks and trades that could potentially alter how the rest of the first-round selections could play out. But this year's draft is different, and I believe the pivot points actually come in the form of certain players -- not picks -- for whom teams might move up to draft.

There are two reasons for this:

  1. This is far from the deepest draft class I've seen, and there are fewer outstanding players than in years past.

  2. At some of the most-needed positions for teams drafting in the top half of the first round, there are few prospects -- and in some cases just one prospect -- who project as very good NFL players.
