The dust hasn?t even settled on the 2014 NFL draft and some pundits already are looking ahead to the 2015 draft. Oh, brother. Needless to say, a lot can change between now and next May. But, take a gander at a few of the early, early, early 2015 mock drafts in this post.

From the look of things, the 2015 NFL draft could be good to the Big Ten, which had 30 players taken in 2014 (four first-rounders) after having just 22 drafted in 2013 (one first-rounder). In fact, the SBNation.com draft has Nebraska DE Randy Gregory going No. 1 overall. The CBSSports.com draft has Gregory No. 3. AthlonSports.com has him No. 8.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller? He isn?t projected to go in the first round. Not a shock.
