Hours before the 2015 NFL Draft begins in Chicago on Thursday night, Twitter is ablaze with football analysts' latest rumors and potential deals. Before the madness begins, here's a look at some of the buzz.
The Tennessee Titans are taking calls, and are willing to trade the second overall pick.

That could mean them either drafting quarterback Marcus Mariota and trading him to a reported interest team such as the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns or New York Jets. Or it could simply, mean trading the pick for extra selections in the draft. Another rumor has Chip Kelly shopping newly acquired QB Sam Bradford?

Chip Kelly is something else, isn't he? After a busy offseason, which already included him trading star running back LeSean McCoy, only to lure DeMarco Murray away from the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles head coach is still exploring all possibilities. One such possibility could be moving Bradford to get a hold of Mariota. More draft buzz has the Chicago Bears listening to trade offers for their Pro Bowl tight end Martellus Bennett. Bears QB Jay Cutler had such a bad season in 2014 that Chicago should send Bennett to a place where he's going to be targeted more.

Could yet another top prospect be in trouble? First there was the news about defensive prospect Shane Ray being cited for marijuana possession. Now comes this shocker of police wanting to question offensive lineman La'el Collins about the murder of a pregnant woman. What's going on?

Final Mock (6.0) is in the books. Remember, it's what I'm hearing, not my rankings. No Gregory or Collins. And Ray falls to final 10 pks — Todd McShay (@McShay13) April 30, 2015
