2015 NFL Mock Draft: Mariota Outside of Top 10

With quarterback Ryan Mallet coming back, the Houston Texans don’t have any pressing needs. But they could use an upgrade at right tackle to protect him when he gets back. So the Texans take the highest rated offensive lineman and player left on many draft boards.. OT. LSU. La'el Collins. 16. player. 10

Melvin Gordon. 17. player. 13. The San Diego Chargers need to help quarterback Philip Rivers by running the ball. And if free agent Ryan Mathews comes back to the team, he’s often injured anyway. So the Chargers address the running back position and become dangerous for 2015.. RB. Wisconsin

18. player. 124. The Kansas City Chiefs need a receiver so they can throw a touchdown to a receiver. So they get a weapon for quarterback Alex Smith to break that that streak with. The rest of their team looks really good so they may be able to do something.. WR. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong
