Some takeaways:
1) Despite originally being slated as one of the 27 prospects at the draft, LSU OL La'el Collins opted to not attend due to an ongoing investigation.
LSU offensive lineman La'el Collins was expected to be taken in the first round, but on Thursday morning, his agent attempted to pull him out of the draft. Chase Goodbread of College Football 24/7 has more on the reasoning behind that.

Collins was not taken in the first round.
2) There was a general lack of trading last night.
On Thursday morning, we wrote about how typically, the first round is filled with trades and you can never really be exactly sure of what can happen. Well, we were only partly right. The first round last night went away from the 14-trade average, as there were only four that involved first round.
3) Chiefs OT Brandon Scherff to Washington was the first surprise of the draft.
Washington was up with the fifth overall pick and defensive tackle Leonard Williams was still available. Even though Williams is regarded by most analysts as the most talented player in the draft, Washington decided to take Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff with the next pick to help bolster their line instead.
The New York Jets took Williams next with the sixth overall pick.
4) After all the hoopla, QB Marcus Mariota went second overall to the Tennessee Titans.
There was no shortage of rumors surrounding Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota prior to the draft, as he was linked to the Eagles, Browns, Chargers and Jets, among others. After months of speculation, the Titans kept the No. 2 pick and drafted Mariota as their next franchise quarterback.
It will be interesting to see the battle between Mariota and current starter Zach Mettenberger come training camp.
5) The St. Louis Rams say they picked the top player on their board, and that was RB Todd Gurley.
The pessimists regarding the future of the running back position were quieted in the first round of the 2015 draft when Georgia running back Todd Gurley was taken by the St. Louis Rams 10th overall.
NFL Media's Albert Breer reported that Gurley was the top player on their draft board.
Five picks later, the Chiefs' division rival, the San Diego Chargers, traded up to get Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon. Gordon has been frequently compared to Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles among NFL executives.
That's two running backs in the first round and two in the top 15 draft selections.
6) Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said he got one of his "impact players."
John Dorsey said that there were 10 to 12 impact players in the 2015 NFL draft last week at his pre-draft press conference.
Last night, he confirmed that one of them was the Chiefs' first-round selection, defensive back Marcus Peters.

7) Speaking of that, the Chiefs defensive back draft picks have historically been good to them.
Marcus Peters is the 6th DB to be drafted by the #Chiefs in the first round since 1967. All of the other 5 all made at least one Pro Bowl. — BJ Kissel (@ChiefsReporter) May 1, 2015
8) A division rival drafted a local favorite.
The Denver Broncos traded up in the draft to take defensive end Shane Ray, who played at the University of Missouri and is actually from Kansas City, Mo.
Ray was named the SEC's Defensive Player of the Year in 2014.
9) DE Randy Gregory was not selected in the first round.
Nebraska's Randy Gregory, who once wrote that he was worthy of the No. 1 overall selection, was not taken in the first round and is still available for Friday night.
Gregory failed a drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this year.
That noted, NFL analyst Mike Mayock is still calling him one of the draft's best remaining prospects.
