The NFL Draft is one of the most anticipated events in sports, and here at FanSided, we like to sometimes over-anticipate. While the draft is still eight months away, a lot has happened in the first four weeks of NFL football and we’ve learned a lot about the nation’s top prospects in the first five weeks of college football.

We already know the NFL teams that definitely need quarterbacks. In wake of serious scandals, we know some teams that also may be looking for running backs in the first round.

The 2015 draft may be the best running back draft class ever between Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, Ameer Abdullah, Mike Davis, TJ Yeldon and more. You can almost certainly anticipate some of those guys going in the first round.

Quarterbacks Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley are all dual-threat quarterbacks that look to make a splash. Teams that will most likely draft a first-round quarterback include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, St. Louis Rams and Houston Texans. You know these teams already have their eyes on the top quarterback prospects.

The incoming draft class also has some fantastic pass rushers that could make an impact in the NFL right away between Leonard Williams, Randy Gregory, Shilique Calhoun, Dante Fowler Jr., Vic Beasley and more.

In this mock draft, many things are taken into consideration. First, draft order. Ranked on predictions on how NFL teams will finish this season. As well as team needs and prospect ranks based on their 2013 performance and their performance so far in 2014.

This draft class is already starting to make some noise, so without further ado, here’s your way too early 2015 NFL Mock Draft.
