Seven teams that improved on offense in the 2015 NFL Draft from seestyle's blog

The and were two of only six NFL teams to spend their first two picks in the on offensive players, but they didn't stop there. The and went on to turn in seven cards each for the offensive side of the ball, tied for most in the league. Led by those two, here is a look at seven NFL teams that helped themselves most on offense in the draft:1. Tenne see Titans Nobody made a bigger offensive splash in the NFL draft than Tenne see, which put its franchise largely in the hands of quarterback with Kelly Olynyk Jersey the No. 2 overall pick, then spent a second-rounder (No. 40 overall) on a prolific receiving talent for Mariota to throw to -- . Mariota-to-DGB production will be a significant factor in Tenne see's offensive improvement this fall. But the ' investment on offense didn't nearly stop there. The club picked an offensive player in every round of the draft, seven of nine total picks. Guard , the third-rounder, will be counted on to solidify the line. Fullback of Alabama (fourth round) and Minnesota running back (fifth round) could invigorate the backfield, and the wrapped up with Boston College center and William & Mary receiver .2. St. Louis RamsIn taking Georgia running back at No. 10 overall and then ma sive offensive linemen and in the second and third rounds, respectively, the left no doubt about the direction their offense will go in 2015. A power rushing attack to take pre sure off newly acquired quarterback is in the works. And as long as Gurley's rehabilitated knee has no setbacks, Foles should be able to stay out of too many third-and-long situations. The added a young arm behind Foles in quarterback , who went higher than expected (Round 3), Mi souri wide receiver in the sixth round, and two more offensive linemen ( and ) for a total of seven offensive picks.3. Tampa Bay BuccaneersWhile the quickly matched Mariota with a high-profile receiver, the turned to their offensive line to support No. 1 overall pick . The Paul Eboua Jersey Bucs had two second-round picks and used them on Penn State offensive tackle and Hobart guard . And why not? The club already has and in place as Alonzo Mourning Jersey Winston's receiving targets, so it could afford to wait until the fifth and sixth rounds to add another receiver in Nebraska's and Utah's . Hawaii fullback was Tampa Bay's final pick in the seventh, rounding out six offensive additions, including three of the first 61 overall picks.4. Baltimore RavensHaving made a long-term investment in quarterback , it only makes sense for the to further invest in his receiving targets. UCF's will bring freakish athleticism to the perimeter of the Baltimore offense as the No. 26 overall pick. Although Perriman still has to learn the finer points of the position, a quick development on his part could make a major impact in short order. Minnesota tight end , the No. 55 overall pick (second round), will give Flacco an athletic target over the middle who can line up beside a tackle or in the slot. USC running back Buck Allen and Georgia Tech receiver gave the team two more skill-position players on offense, and tight end and lineman made it six offensive picks within six rounds for the .5. Cincinnati BengalsThere wasn't much flash in the ' choice of two offensive tackles in the first two rounds (Texas A&M's at No. 21, Oregon's at No. 53), but there is no denying the club's commitment to maintaining its offensive line. Veteran tackles and are e sentially playing for their futures with the club in 2015. of Rutgers and of Auburn add to depth at tight end, and the added a blazing fast receiver in the seventh round in . The Robin to 's Batman at West Virginia, Alford has a better chance to make an NFL roster than most seventh-rounders.6. Oakland RaidersLike the , the also took a wide receiver in the first round and added a tight end on Day 2, giving second-year quarterback two dynamic new weapons. Alabama's was the draft's most pro- Derrick Jones Jr. Jersey ready player and should make an instant impact. Miami (Fla.) tight end has the athleticism to get behind linebackers and make a difference downfield, which could draw enough safety attention to keep Cooper in more single coverage. Although the ' decision not to add a running back to its cast of unproven rushers was curious, the club did add linemen and up front. Count receiver (seventh round) as purely a special-teams add.7. Detroit LionsDetroit should get an immediate starter in Duke guard , whom the club took with the No. 28 overall pick after a trade with the . Behind Tomlinson, general manager Martin Mayhew added , the small-but-explosive star running back from Nebraska who can make big plays through the smallest of holes. If Abdullah can be coached out of his reputation as a fumbler, quarterback will have a dangerous new weapon with which to work. Fullback went KZ Okpala Jersey to Detroit in the fifth round, and seventh-round pick of South Carolina is a ma sive right tackle prospect who could surprise in fall camp as a run blocker.Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter .
