The 2015 NFL Draft will be held in Chicago from Thursday through Saturday. Here is a mock draft with each team’s beat writer making a selection, and with Dolphins beat writer Omar Kelly making Miami’s pick:
Trading down is a good possibility for the Titans here, but Williams would be a good fit for their defense as a bookend to fellow USC Trojan Jurrell Casey. -- John Glennon, The Tennessean (Ezra Shaw / Getty Images)
Beasley is the best pure edge rusher in the draft, a guy who can make an impact on both passing and rushing downs. -- D. Orlando Ledbetter, Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Mark Crammer / AP)
The biggest hole on the roster is at left guard. Scherff could play there immediately, and eventually could wind up at left tackle. -- Mark Craig, Minneapolis Star Tribune (Matthew Holst / Getty Images)

Jones is an athletic press corner who should start from Day 1. He could be a fit to play opposite the newly acquired Byron Maxwell. -- Jeff McLane, Philadelphia Inquirer (Julio Cortez / AP)
The Steelers are desperate for players who can rush the passer. At 37, the re-signed James Harrison might be the team’s best outside linebacker. -- Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Michael Spomer / AP)
The Panthers desperately need help protecting Cam Newton. Humphries, who played high school football in Charlotte, would be a fit. -- Joe Person, Charlotte Observer (Stacy Revere / Getty Images)
After losing

The Cowboys need help at cornerback, and many people believe Peters is the best all-around corner in this class. They feel they can deal with his off-the-field issues. -- Clarence Hill, Ft. Worth Star Telegram (David Zalubowski / AP)
With defensive tackle Terrance Knighton now in Washington, the Broncos will look to fill that vacancy. They could also use help on the offensive line. -- Mike Klis, Denver Post (Mark LoMoglio / AP)
GM Ryan Grigson addresses his biggest need. It’s the thinnest position, with the only proven player being 34-year-old Mike Adams. Collins is widely viewed as the best safety in the draft. -- Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Star (Aaron M. Sprecher / AP)
The top cornerbacks are gone in this mock, so the Packers will turn their attention to another area of need. With A.J. Hawk and Brad Jones gone, the Butkus Award winner can make an immediate impact. -- Pete Dougherty, Green Bay Press-Gazette (Julio Cortez / AP)
