NFL Mock Draft 2018: Seven-round projections (2024)

The top pick in the NFL Draft is usually known by now.

Consensus says the Browns are still deciding between Sam Darnold or Josh Allen.

Normally, the smoke would have cleared thanks to a team’s affinity for an obvious top prospect or the news would have simply leaked by now.

But it hasn’t. There are strange things afoot at the Circle-K.

Could a third option like Baker Mayfield shock the world? At very least, it would be in concert with this topsy-turvy draft process.

The NFL Draft has become a nice appetizer before our main course in September. A mock version of said draft is meant to educate, and even entertain. At very least, it helps you pass the time.

What follows is an attempt at figuring out the best players available in this season’s draft class, and which teams they’d match up well with considering the current draft order according to NFL.com.

Here’s the final version of my 2018 NFL Mock Draft, now through seven rounds: 

FIRST ROUND

1. Cleveland (0-16) — Sam Darnold, QB, USC, So.

It’s clear new GM John Dorsey will not favor the analytical approach like the previous regime and likely wants a fresh start at quarterback (Tyrod Taylor is a placeholder). Darnold isn’t a flawless prospect — his elongated throwing motion concerns me — but he possesses everything most scouts look for in a franchise quarterback. Top needs: QB, OT, Edge, CB

2. N.Y. Giants (3-13) — Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn St., Jr.

This is the Giants’ highest selection in 37 years. They took a North Carolina linebacker named Lawrence Taylor with the second overall selection in 1981 — not bad. I firmly believe Darnold is the only signal-caller the G-Men would take this high. He’s gone, so they go with a generational talent and most dynamic player in this draft. Top needs: QB, OG, CB, RB

3. N.Y. Jets from Indianapolis (4-12) — Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma, Sr.

I guess $30 million per season wasn’t enough to land Kirk Cousins. That’s OK, a trade up has them in perfect position to land a quarterback-of-the-future. The comparisons to Drew Brees make sense here. If the Heisman winner were three or four inches taller, he’d likely be the top overall pick. Top needs: QB, OT, OG, LB

4. Cleveland from Houston (4-12) — Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State, Sr.

Imagine the terror the Nagurski Award winner (top defender) and last year’s top draft pick, Myles Garrett, would bring to opposing quarterbacks. Top needs: QB, OT, Edge, CB

5. Denver (5-11) — Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio St., Jr.

The Case Keenum signing tells me GM John Elway is in win-now mode. The Buckeyes have produced four first-rounders at cornerback the past four years. Ward is likely to make it 5-for-5. He’s an impressive athlete whose only real weakness is his slight frame. Top needs: OL, Edge, TE, CB

6. Indianapolis from N.Y. Jets (5-11) — Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech, Jr.

The Butkus Award finalist — and combine standout — anchored one of the best defenses in college football (first in shutouts and third in scoring defense). His size, speed and athleticism are off the charts. Top needs: Edge, OL, WR, LB

7. Tampa Bay (5-11) — Derwin James, SS, Florida St., So.

Here’s a faster version of Kam Chancellor, a defensive chess piece. Much like the Seminoles themselves, James had a disappointing season, but few defensive backs can match his dynamic combination of speed, size, instincts and hitting ability. Top needs: RB, CB, S, OG

8. Chicago (5-11) — Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame, Sr.

This is a dream scenario for the Bears. The unanimous All-American from South Bend is better than over 95 percent of the NFL’s guards right now. Top needs: Edge, CB, LB, OG

9. San Francisco (6-10) — Harold Landry, OLB, Boston College, Sr.

Landry played defensive end for the Eagles, but is athletic enough to stand up and play outside linebacker in the NFL — critics will certainly hush after his combine performance. Like Chubb, he’s capable of being an elite pass rusher and effective run defender, but will likely be had at a discount on draft day. Top needs: WR, Edge, CB, OG

10. Oakland (6-10) — Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia, Jr.

The former Bulldog linebacker is built more like a strong safety — he’s 6-1, 225 pounds. The modern NFL prefers its linebackers speedy and is willing to sacrifice size if the prospect features athleticism, physicality and football intelligence. The Bednarik finalist and Butkus Award winner (best linebacker) is blessed with all three. Top needs: CB, OT, LB, WR

11. Miami (6-10) — Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA, Jr.

The Dolphins beat their division-rival (the Pats) to Rosen. There are questions (durability is the only one that worries me), but there’s no questioning his polished pro-ready skill-set. Top needs: LB, DB, TE, QB

12. Buffalo from Cincinnati (7-9) — Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming, Jr.

I like the A.J. McCarron signing, but the Bills have made it clear they will select a quarterback in the first round of this draft. They will likely have to trade up to make this selection. Plenty of people jumped off the Allen bandwagon during the season, but he still possesses the arm talent — check out the tape of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the Senior Bowl or the combine — and athletic ability that caused most scouts to fall head over heals last season. He’s the biggest boom-bust selection in this draft class. Top needs: QB, OL, WR, ILB

13. Washington (7-9) — Vita Vea, DT, Washington, Jr.

The Redskins moved on from Cousins with the trade (and contract extension) for Alex Smith. With quarterback out of the way, the Skins are free to address other needs. The 6-foot-5, 340-pound Pac-12 defensive player of the year might be the strongest prospect in the entire draft class and would have likely been a first-round selection had he left school a year ago. Top needs: ILB, DT, CB, OL

14. Green Bay (7-9) — Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama, Jr.

After losing out on Kyle Fuller in free agency, the Packers will prioritize their secondary early in this draft. The unanimous All-American is capable of playing both safety and cornerback at a high level, and is such a detail-oriented person, his Crimson Tide teammates called him “Coach Saban’s son.” Top needs: Edge, SS, CB, WR

15. Arizona (8-8) — Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville, Jr.

The Cardinals had an opportunity to address the quarterback position last season with an aging Carson Palmer still on the roster. They failed to take advantage. They don’t pass on the opportunity this time around. Jackson is a bigger, right-handed version of Michael Vick. Top needs: QB, WR, OL, FS

16. Baltimore (9-7) — Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame, Sr.

The AP first-team All-American is versatile — he has started double-digit games at both right and left tackle — and athletic in a massive package (6-foot-8, 315 pounds). His strength (run blocking) will suit the Ravens’ scheme perfectly. Top needs: OL, TE, ILB, WR

17. L.A. Chargers (9-7) — Rashaan Evans, OLB, Alabama, Sr.

The Chargers had the second-worst run defense in the NFL last season and have been relatively quiet in free agency. GM Tom Telesco has shown an affinity for drafting the position — Denzel Perryman is the only one locked in as a starter and he has injury issues — and Evans’ versatility fits perfectly into defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s scheme. Top needs: OT, DT, ILB, S

18. Seattle (9-7) — Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio, Sr.

The Seahawks have no selections in the second or third round, which means GM John Schneider will likely trade down this round or completely out of it — something he has done four times since 2010. If they stay put, Davenport would be a solid replacement for Michael Bennett. Top needs: Edge, DB, RB, OL

19. Dallas (9-7) — Leighton Vander Esch, OLB, Boise St., Jr.

Vander Esch had 141 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, three interceptions, five passes defended and four forced fumbles in 2017 en route to earning Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors. Top needs: DT, LB, WR, OG

20. Detroit (9-7) — Derrius Guice, RB, LSU, Jr.

Signing LeGarrette Blount won’t prohibit the Lions from drafting Guice. The former Tiger runs angry and features a size/speed combination Detroit hasn’t had in its backfield since the days of Billy Sims. Top needs: Edge, RB, OL, CB

21. Cincinnati from Buffalo (9-7) — James Daniels, C, Iowa, Jr.

The Bengals offensive line is in need of an epic overhaul. Trading for tackle Cordy Glenn was only the beginning. Daniels is an absolute mauler in the run game. Top needs: CB, LB, OL, Edge

22. Buffalo from Kansas City (10-6) — Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas, Sr.

The Bills have lost three starting offensive linemen in the off-season due to retirement, early retirement or trade. Ragnow’s draft stock is skyrocketing. Top needs: QB, OL, WR, ILB

23. New England from L.A. Rams (11-5) — Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA, Jr.

Losing franchise tackle Nate Solder makes this a necessity. Miller is large (6-foot-9, 310 pounds) and proved his athletic prowess at the combine. Top needs: OL, DB, LB, QB

24. Carolina (11-5) — D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland, Jr.

Moore’s run-after-the-catch capabilities will add a dimension to the Panthers offense they’ve lacked. Top needs: OG, FS, CB, WR

25. Tennessee (9-7) — Sam Hubbard, DE, Ohio St., Jr.

Hubbard has the size and motor Bill Belichick covets in his edge rushers. Wouldn’t shock me if new Titans head coach Mike Vrabel mimics his mentor. Top needs: Edge, SS, OG, LB

26. Atlanta (10-6) — Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama, Jr.

The defensive MVP of the national title game is a dominant force in the middle who will draw blocks away from Vic Beasley and Takkarist McKinley. Top needs: DT, DE, WR, DB

27. New Orleans (11-5) — Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina, Jr.

Drew Brees hasn’t had a threat at tight end since the Saints traded Jimmy Graham, and they missed out on Graham in free agency. Hurst plays fearless and has showcased the versatility to line up all over the field. Yet another chess piece for offensive guru Sean Payton. Top needs: TE, OG, WR, LB

28. Pittsburgh (13-3) — Justin Reid, FS, Stanford, Jr.

It was clear the Steelers secondary was missing some pieces against the Jaguars in the playoffs. Former Packer safety Morgan Burnett was a solid signing, and Reid would be a nice compliment to him. He is athletic enough to help in man coverage, but has the instincts and ball skills to play center field as well. Top needs: ILB, RB, SS, WR

29. Jacksonville (10-6) — Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU, So.

It makes sense to surround Blake Bortles with as many offensive weapons as possible. Sutton has the size and ball skills the Jaguars current wide receivers are lacking. Top needs: QB, OT, LB, WR

30. Minnesota (13-3) — Will Hernandez, OG, Texas-El Paso, Sr.

The Vikings invested heavily in Kirk Cousins, now it’s time to provide him some protection and Dalvin Cook a road grader to clear a path. Hernandez is an instant upgrade and starter from day one. Top needs: OG, DL, OT, CB

31. New England (13-3) — Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville, Jr.

Here’s a solid replacement for Malcolm Butler. Alexander is an athletic corner who has elite ball skills and plays with the physicality of a safety. Top needs: OL, DB, LB, QB

32. Philadelphia (13-3) — Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama, Jr.

After trading Torrey Smith and Marcus Johnson, it’s easy to imagine the Eagles targeting a receiver who can stretch the field. Ridley features explosive speed and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better route runner in college football. A rare combination. Top needs: TE, WR, DB, OT

SECOND ROUND

33. Cleveland — Connor Williams, OT, Texas, Jr.

34. N.Y. Giants — Isaiah Wynn, OG, Georgia, Sr.

35. Cleveland from Houston — Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa, Jr.

36. Indianapolis — Taven Bryan, DT, Florida, Jr.

37. Indianapolis from N.Y. Jets — Sony Michel, RB, Georgia, Sr.

38. Tampa Bay — Kerryon Johnson, RB, Auburn, Jr.

39. Chicago — Lorenzo Carter, OLB, Georgia, Sr.

40. Denver — Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego St., Sr.

41. Oakland — Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan, Sr.

42. Miami — Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota St., Sr.

43. New England from San Francisco — Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn St., Sr.

44. Washington — Billy Price, C, Ohio St., Sr.

45. Green Bay — Josh Sweat, DE, Florida St., Jr.

46. Cincinnati — Arden Key, DE, LSU, Jr.

47. Arizona — Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon, Sr.

48. L.A. Chargers — Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford, Sr.

If the Chargers want to improve their run defense — should be a top priority — taking Evans and Phillips would go a long way in achieving that goal. He’s unorthodox — he looks more like an offensive guard than nose tackle — but there are few in this draft class who are a better asset against the run. Top needs: OT, DT, ILB, S

49. Indianapolis from N.Y. Jets via Seattle — Brian O’Neill, OT, Pittsburgh, Jr.

50. Dallas — Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M, Jr.

51. Detroit — Mike Hughes, CB, Central Florida, Jr.

52. Baltimore — Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana, Sr.

53. Buffalo — D.J. Chark, WR, LSU, Sr.

54. Kansas City — Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado, Jr.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Chiefs trade up into the back-half of the first round. Otherwise, Oliver has elite size (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) and speed — state champ in 110 and 300-meter hurdles, 4×400 relay in high school. Top needs: CB, DE, S, OG

55. Carolina — Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada, Sr.

56. Buffalo from L.A. Rams — Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma, Jr.

57. Tennessee — Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama, Jr.

58. Atlanta — Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis, Sr.

59. San Francisco from New Orleans — Malik Jefferson, ILB, Texas, Jr.

60. Pittsburgh — Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma St., Sr.

61. Jacksonville — Fred Warner, OLB, BYU, Sr.

62. Minnesota — Donte Jackson, CB, LSU, Jr.

63. New England — Ronald Jones, RB, USC, Jr.

64. Cleveland from Philadelphia — Dante Pettis, WR, Washington, Sr.

THIRD ROUND

65. Buffalo from Cleveland — Braden Smith, OG, Auburn, Sr.

66. N.Y. Giants — Rasheem Green, DE, USC, Jr.

67. Indianapolis — Kemoko Turay, DE, Rutgers, Sr.

68. Houston — Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan, Sr.

The priority going forward is to protect Deshaun Watson at all costs. Okorafor is a technician who features good size, athleticism and long arms. He’s equally adept in pass protection and run-blocking. Top needs: OL, TE, RB, CB

69. N.Y. Giants from Tampa Bay — Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn, Jr.

70. San Francisco from Chicago — Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi St., Sr.

71. Denver — Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma, Jr.

72. N.Y. Jets — Joseph Noteboom, OT, Texas Christian, Sr.

73. Miami — Josey Jewell, ILB, Iowa, Sr.

74. San Francisco — Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame, Jr.

75. Oakland — Duke Dawson, CB, Florida, Sr.

76. Green Bay — James Washington, WR, Oklahoma St., Sr.

77. Cincinnati — Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE, Oklahoma, Sr.

78. Kansas City from Washington — Rashaan Gaulden, FS, Tennessee, Jr.

79. Arizona — Jessie Bates, FS, Wake Forest, Jr.

80. Houston from Seattle — Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon, Sr.

82. Detroit — Nathan Shepherd, DT, Fort Hays State, Sr.

83. Baltimore — Darius Leonard, OLB, South Carolina St., Sr.

84. L.A. Chargers — Nyheim Hines, RB, N.C. State, Jr.

The Chargers find themselves a poor man’s Alvin Kamara to help keep Melvin Gordon fresh. Top needs: OT, DT, ILB, S

85. Carolina from Buffalo — Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama, Sr.

86. Kansas City — Da’Shawn Hand, DE, Alabama, Sr.

87. L.A. Rams — Scott Quessenberry, C, UCLA, Sr.

Quessenberry has guard flexibility, which means he could provide solid depth before eventually replacing John Sullivan at center. Top needs: OT, C, SS, ILB

88. Carolina — Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia, Sr.

89. Tennessee — Genard Avery, ILB, Memphis, Sr.

90. Atlanta — Terrell Edmunds, SS, Virginia Tech, Jr.

91. New Orleans — Shaquem Griffin, OLB, Central Florida, Sr.

95. New England — Kyle Lauletta, QB, Richmond, Sr.

96. Buffalo from Philadelphia — Uchenna Nwosu, OLB, USC, Sr.

97. Arizona — Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado St., Sr.

98. Houston — M.J. Stewart, CB, North Carolina, Sr.

99. Denver — Alex Cappa, OT, Humboldt St., Sr.

100. Cincinnati — Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College, Sr.

107. N.Y. Jets — P.J. Hall, DT, Sam Houston St., Sr.

108. N.Y. Giants from Tampa Bay — Dorian O’Daniel, OLB, Clemson, Sr.

109. Washington from Denver through San Francisco — Kevin Toliver, CB, LSU, Jr.

117. Detroit — Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio St., Sr.

118. Baltimore — TreQuan Smith, WR, Central Florida, Jr.

119. L.A. Chargers — Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford, Jr.

121. Buffalo — Deadrin Senat, DT, South Florida, Sr.

153. Detroit — Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech, So.

154. Baltimore — Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida St., Jr.

155. L.A. Chargers — Hercules Mata’afa, DE, Washington St., Jr.

Mata’afa’s versatility and play-making ability will be an asset. He’s capable of being a special teams star from day one. Top needs: OT, DT, ILB, S

156. Seattle from Philadelphia through Seattle — Durham Smythe, TE, Notre Dame, Sr.

157. N.Y. Jets from Dallas — J’Mon Moore, WR, Missouri, Sr.
