The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans tied for the NFL's worst record in 2014, with both teams finishing at 2-14. Thanks to a weaker strength of schedule, due mostly to the struggles of the NFC South, the Buccaneers were awarded the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
2015 NFL Draft order: Buccaneers, Titans start first round with top 2 picks
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to kick off the 2015 NFL Draft followed by the Titans with the second pick.
From there, the teams are in order from the NFL's worst records to the Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots, with the 32nd pick.
The Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks are the two teams that begin Thursday night without a first-round pick after previously trading away the picks. The Bills packaged their first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft to move up five spots in 2014 to select Sammy Watkins, while the Seahawks lost their first-rounder in a trade to acquire tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints.
Those trades supplied the Cleveland Browns and the Saints with a pair of first-round picks each on Thursday night. Buffalo’s trade to acquire Watkins was one of five trades that occurred during the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, which is the same number that took place in the 2013 NFL Draft.
