Following Sunday’s Super Bowl, the order for the first round of the 2015 NFL draft has officially been set, with the Buccaneers kicking things off at No. 1, and the Patriots wrapping things up at No. 32.
The first-round order will dictate how the order for the remaining rounds plays out, with teams that finished with the same records rotating choices in subsequent rounds — for instance, while the 2-14 Buccaneers pick ahead of the Titans in the first round, the Titans will get the first selection in the second round. This provision doesn’t apply to some playoff teams, however. For example, despite both finishing 12-4, the Packers and Patriots are locked into the 30th and 32nd picks, respectively, based on how far they advanced in the postseason.
So far, only one first-round pick has been traded. The Browns acquired the Bills’ first-rounder in last year’s Sammy Watkins deal. When the NFL officially releases the full draft order later in the offseason, it will include all compensatory picks, and every traded pick. In the meantime, our round-up of 2015’s traded picks can be found right here.

love that it says Washington alone. well done.
Beat me there. I saw that and immediately noticed every teams moniker was listed but theirs.
at 15 49ers can go many ways, i would think WRs might be one of the top needs with all the free agents we have at wr or maybe someone on defense like a DT or CB. maybe they surprise us and get a RB since gore a question mark.
