Early predictions for NFL’s 2015 first-round draft picks

23. Shane Ray, outside linebacker, Denver Broncos

Ray currently sits behind veteran outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware in depth. However he is making a case for more play time this season after a successful preseason, recording sacks in his final two games.
