The 2015 NFL Draft class has been picked, packaged, delivered and now have their repective homes. Going through minicamps and OTA’s some 1st-round picks have made huge first impressions. They’ve been talked about and monitored a lot already as they are expected to make big, immediate impacts on their respective organizations.

That’s what 1st-round picks do right?

Okay, maybe not all of them but some of them will and it isn’t always the best player that makes the biggest immediate impact. The player’s talent has something to do with it but scheme-fit, need and the situation the player goes into are huge. For example, Andrew Luck went to a good team, especially on offense, the was a quarterback away from being a contender.

It also helps that he went to a bad division so he was set up to look like a savior and he delivered. So of the 32 1st-round picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, I wanted to see who would make the biggest immediate impact. And I came up with five extremely talented players that have the right circumstances to make that type of impact and ranked them accordingly.
