2018 7-Round Mock Draft
Round 1
1. Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold – QB – USC
John Dorsey was brought in to turn this franchise around. He takes Darnold first overall to lead the Browns to glory.
2. New York Giants: Saquon Barkley – HB – Penn State
The Giants add the best running back in the draft to take the pressure off of their aging quarterback.
3. New York Jets (From IND): Baker Mayfield – QB – Oklahoma
The Jets paid a hefty price to move into the third spot and get the reigning Heisman winner and hopefully the new face of their franchise.
4. Cleveland Browns (From HOU): Bradley Chubb – EDGE – North Carolina State
Chubb and Myles Garrett? Gregg Williams defense will be scary good with those two coming off the edge.
5. Denver Broncos: Josh Rosen – QB – UCLA
John Elway brought in Case Keenum but competition breeds success and Rosen is a top prospect with some things to prove.
6. Indianapolis Colts (From NYJ): Quenton Nelson – OG – Notre Dame
The offensive line has to improve if they want to keep Andrew Luck healthy. Nelson is the best lineman here and will transform this line.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Minkah Fitzpatrick – DB – Alabama
Safety or corner, it doesn’t matter. Fitzpatrick has starting potential at either one and Tampa has a need at both.
8. Chicago Bears: Tremaine Edmunds – LB – Virginia Tech
They picked the franchise quarterback last year and take Edmunds to lead the defense this year. Perfect fit for the Bears defense.
9. San Francisco 49ers: Calvin Ridley – WR – Alabama
They really need to build around Jimmy Garroppolo. The former Crimson Tide receiver gives Jimmy G a nice weapon for the next decade.
10. Oakland Raiders: Denzel Ward – CB – Ohio State
Ward and Gareon Conley will create a solid tandem in the secondary to try and slow down those AFC West passing attacks.
11. Miami Dolphins: Roquan Smith – LB – Georgia
Miami had one of the worst linebacking groups in the league. With Raekwon McMillan returning from injury and now Smith, things could be very different in 2018.
12. Buffalo Bills (from CIN): Josh Allen – QB – Wyoming
The Bills take the quarterback everyone seems to disagree on. If he reaches the potential that some are anticipating, then getting him at 12 is good value.
13. Washington Redskins: Vita Vea – DT – Washington
The Redskins defense has a lot of holes that need to be filled. Vea can plug the hole in the middle.
14. Green Bay Packers: Jaire Alexander – CB – Louisville
Green Bay can stand to add a few playmakers on their defense. They add one at cornerback with their first pick.
15. Arizona Cardinals: Derwin James – S – Florida State
I know that quarterback is being thrown around as the number one priority for Arizona but I think Sam Bradford can get them through a year or two. James replaces the recently released Tyrann Mathieu.
16. Baltimore Ravens: Mike McGlinchey – OT – Notre Dame
The offensive line needs help and putting McGlinchey opposite of Ronnie Stanley is too good to pass up.
17. Los Angeles Chargers: Da’Ron Payne – DT – Alabama
Adding Payne to an already impressive defensive line will give the Bolts one of the best front fours in the league.
18. Seattle Seahawks: Taven Bryan – DT – Florida
Jarran Reed and Taven Bryan will lay the foundation of a rebuilding defense in Seattle.
19. Dallas Cowboys: D.J. Moore – WR – Maryland
Dez Bryant was shown the door in Dallas so the Cowboys must find some new blood. Allen Hurns was brought in from Jacksonville but more reinforcements are required.
20. Detroit Lions: Isaiah Wynn – OG – Georgia
The offensive line is an issue in the Motor City. Wynn is a talented interior lineman who can help open lanes for the Lions running game.
21. Cincinnati Bengals (From BUF): Billy Price – OC – Ohio State
The Bengals offensive line got better when they traded for Cordy Glenn but there is still a ways to go. Price gives them stability at the center or guard position for years to come.
22. Buffalo Bills (From KC): Leighton Vander Esch – LB – Boise State
Buffalo needs to replace Preston Brown in the middle of their defense. Vander Esch is built to play middle linebacker in the NFL and luckily for him, he has the skills to play there also.
23. New England Patriots (From LAR): Mason Rudolph – QB – Oklahoma State
Rudolph is a big quarterback with a big arm. He can learn a lot from Tom Brady before he is given the reigns.
24. Carolina Panthers: Marcus Davenport – EDGE – UTSA
Carolina’s pass rush needs an injection of youth in a big way. Davenport provides youth and ability for the Panthers.
25. Tennessee Titans: Harold Landry – EDGE – Boston College
Landry can give new head coach Mike Vrabel a stud edge rusher who can get after the AFC South quarterbacks.
26. Atlanta Falcons: Maurice Hurst – DT – Michigan
Dontari Poe was not brought back but even if he was Atlanta needs to add a defensive tackle. Hurst had a medical scare earlier in the draft process but seems to be good to go.
27. New Orleans Saints: Dallas Goedert – TE – South Dakota State
I really thought Jimmy Graham would return to New Orleans but that was not the case. The Saints address one of their few voids with the former Jackrabbit.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Ronnie Harrison – S – Alabama
Pittsburgh needs help at linebacker but Harrison is one of the more underrated prospects in this draft. Harrison is an upgrade from Sean Davis and can fit nicely with newly acquired Morgan Burnett.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Lamar Jackson – QB – Louisville
The Jaguars were one game away from the Super Bowl. Bringing in Jackson to either push Blake Bortles or replace him may put them over the hump.
30. Minnesota Vikings: Will Hernandez – OG – UTEP
Minnesota is one of the more complete teams in the league. Adding Hernandez to their offensive improves one of their only “weaknesses”.
31. New England Patriots: Connor Williams – OT – Texas
The Patriots lost Nate Solder to free agency so they must find a new anchor. Williams can step right in and be that anchor.
32. Philadelphia Eagles: Derrius Guice – HB – LSU
The Eagles have Jay Ajayi but they made it clear they prefer to use multiple running backs. Guice is a heck of a steal at the 32 spot.
Round 2
33. Cleveland Browns: Kolton Miller – OT – UCLA
34. New York Giants: Rashaan Evans – LB – Alabama
