THE TAMPA BAY Buccaneers did what was expected and selected Jameis Winston with the first pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, but there were still some surprises in last night’s first round.

Florida State quarterback Winston’s selection by the Buccaneers meant the big question surrounded what the Tennessee Titans would do with the second pick after much talk of a trade down.

Despite all the speculation, the Titans held firm and drafted 2014 Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota.

Mariota and Oregon beat Winston’s Seminoles in the College Football Play-off semi-finals last season and will now likely serve as the franchise quarterback for a Titans team coming off a two-win season in 2014.

The shocks came shortly after as USC defensive end Leonard Williams slipped outside of the top five to the New York Jets, and the St Louis Rams took running back Todd Gurley at 10.

Gurley is the first running back taken in the opening round since 2012 and is something of a risk having torn his ACL in 2014.

A trade did not come until the 15th pick, when the San Diego Chargers moved up two spaces in a deal with the San Francisco 49ers to take another running back, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon.

San Francisco took Oregon defensive end Arik Armstead with the 17th pick received from the Chargers. The night’s second trade came when the Denver Broncos moved up to pick 23rd overall.

Denver switched spots with Detroit in a deal that sent Broncos guard Manny Ramirez to the Lions to choose Missouri defensive end Shane Ray, who was cited for marijuana possession earlier this week.

The Lions made Duke’s Laken Tomlinson the seventh offensive lineman taken with the 28th pick.

And fresh off winning the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots wrapped up a first round that also saw five wide receivers taken by picking Texas defensive tackle Malcom Brown.
