As with most years, the 2015 NFL Draft will give a handful of schools a chance to tout multiple first-round picks. Using NFL.com's latest mock drafts as a guide, CFB 24/7 has identified nine such schools who are candidates in this year's draft, including three of the four teams that made the College Football Playoff last season. Here is a breakdown of those schools.
One thing to note: Depending on how you look at it, Missouri and Oklahoma also could have two first-rounders. Mizzou DE/OLB Shane Ray is a first-round lock, and Oklahoma DT Jordan Phillips is a possibility to go in the first round. The other first-rounder for each school? That depends on how you classify WR Dorial Green-Beckham. Green-Beckham played two seasons for Missouri, then was dismissed from school; he enrolled at Oklahoma last summer but never played a down for the Sooners, then decided to turn pro.
