Driving ADC with opamp with large rails

In the image below is an opamp buffer with +/- 15v rails connected to a 3.3v ADC. The input to the opamp is limited to 0-3v. There is no protection circuitry for the ADC.

Is the risk of the opamp overdriving the ADC too great for no input protection to be used?
