NFL Draft: Five years later, grading the 2015 first-round picks

Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and others from the 2015 first round have left a lot to be desired.

The 2015 NFL Draft produced many players who were considered expendable by their teams long before the 2020 season. It is the classic example of how much of a guessing game the draft process can be. This first round will go down as forgettable as opposed to memorable.

John Elway, Bill Russell, Eli Manning, Dominique Wilkins are among the players never to suit up for the teams that drafted them.

The draft is a crapshoot. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. And sometimes, you trade players who go on to be great for other teams.

LaMarcus Aldridge

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports

The best big men in 2006 were Texas forward LaMarcus Aldridge and LSU forward Tyrus Thomas. The Chicago Bulls, with the second pick, took Aldridge. The Portland Trail Blazers, with the fourth pick, took Thomas. But wound up sending Thomas and Viktor Khyrapa to the Bulls for Aldridge and a second-round pick. Instead of having Aldridge, who has been a long-time star, the Bulls had Thomas, who only played for the team for two-and-a-half seasons before being shipped to Charlotte.
