2018 NFL Mock Draft
2018 NFL Mock Draft Round One (1-20) | Round One (21-32) | Round Two | Round Three | Round Four | Round Five | Round Six | Round Seven
Cleveland Browns
Tyrell Crosby, OT/OG, Oregon
The Browns are building a strong roster, and can afford to go about the draft with a best player available strategy. They lost their star left tackle and will have to address that position in this draft early.
New York Giants
Lorenzo Carter, OLB/DE, Georgia
The Giants have made some big moves in free agency, shoring up some major deficiencies. Now they can move ahead and starting balancing out their roster.
Cleveland Browns (from Houston)
Derrius Guice, RB, LSU
The Browns are building an aggressive, attacking defense. If they don’t get Saquon Barkley in the first, they can still get an excellent RB here.
Indianapolis Colts
Isaiah Wynn, OG, Georgia
Indy has to keep their QB healthy, and adding more talent to the offensive line seems like a major priority.
Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ)
Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M
The Colts need playmakers on offense, and this draft could be the time to go all in on skill position players. Christian Kirk was caught on a Texas A&M team in turmoil, but can play all over the offense and is an excellent return man as well.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sam Hubbard, DE, Ohio State
The Bucs joined free agency late, but have added some help to their defensive line. This team needs help in the heart of their defense.
Chicago Bears
Taven Bryan, DT, Florida
The Bears signed WR Allen Robinson, and other weapons on offense, and will probably add more skill position players throughout the draft, but they have needs all around.
Denver Broncos
Sony Michel, RB, Georgia
The Broncos have got their QB and need to give him some shiny new toys. A playmaking RB would go a long way.
Oakland Raiders
D.J. Chark, WR, LSU
The Raiders did not get consistent play out of their wide receivers last year, and with a new offensive minded head coach, will put a premium on skill position players. Wide receivers are simply not taught the skills needed to succeed at the next level, but D.J. Chark seems to have all of the tools to step in right away and make a difference.
Miami Dolphins
Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
Miami is in the middle of a self imposed rebuild to some degree, and need some more talent on the interior of the defensive line.
New England Patriots (from San Francisco)
Kyle Lauletta, QB, Richmond
The Patriots will be drafting a QB in the first few rounds, and Lauletta is a perfect fit for their offense.
Washington Redskins
Uchenna Nwosu, DE/OLB, USC
The Redskins lost some linebackers in free agency, and have a big need there they need to address immediately.
Green Bay Packers
Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado
Green Bay has a new defensive coordinator, and need to do a better job against the pass. They have some talented young players in the secondary, and could use a defensive back that can stay with X receivers.
Cincinnati Bengals
Josey Jewell, ILB, Iowa
The Bengals have a lot of talent at various positions on their team, and very lacking in others. They need help at multiple linebacker spots to help complement their loaded defensive line.
Arizona Cardinals
Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
Courtland Sutton did not play on a team that got a lot of attention this year, and may very well be the only true “X” receiver in this draft.
Los Angeles Chargers
Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford
The Chargers’s have quietly been putting together one of the most complete rosters in the league, but could use a little help on the interior of the defensive line.
Indianapolis Colts (from Seattle and NYJ)
Desmond Harrison, OT, West Georgia
The Colts need talent everywhere, and have a number of picks to try to fill roster deficiencies. Adding another talented tight end will allow the offense to operate more efficiently on all levels.
Dallas Cowboys
Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma
Jason Witten will be retiring soon, and the Cowboys would like to not have a tremendous hole at that position when he does. If they can do it now, they might be able to get a year or two of crossover to groom the next possible great Cowboys TE.
Detroit Lions
Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama
The Lions will be in nickel and dime a lot in the new defense. They have some nice safeties, but need to add more talent to that core, as three will be on the field most of the time.
Baltimore Ravens
Justin Reid, S, Stanford
The Ravens have a lot of good, young defensive players, but couldn’t pass up an opportunity to add a safety, especially with teams going more and more nickel.
Buffalo Bills
Jeremy Reaves, S, South Alabama
If The Bills are in year two of rebuilding their defense, and finding ways to stop the Patriots.
Kansas City Chiefs
Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi State
The Chiefs have added a talented corner in the Alex Smith trade, which should help against their propensity in giving up big plays. They need to add more talent in the interior of their offensive line, allowing them to pound the rock and close out games while controlling the clock.
Carolina Panthers
Arden Key, OLB/DE, LSU
The Panthers will need to address WR and TE, but more than anything are built around their front seven getting pressure.
Buffalo Bills (from Los Angeles Rams)
Donte Jackson, CB, LSU
The Bills have been slowly rebuilding their team, and they are going to be one of the key players in the draft. They need speedy outside corners to run with some of the big, fast receivers they face in the division.
Tennessee Titans
Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn
The Titans have done a great job in the last few drafts with a very thoughtful and deliberate acquisition of talent. More help in the secondary is still needed.
Atlanta Falcons
Jessie Bates, S, Wake Forest
As the Falcons remember that they have Julio Jones, and try to find chemistry between their QB and OC, their defense needs to do a better job in the secondary, and a rangy safety would be ideal.
San Francisco 49ers (from New Orleans)
Billy Price, OG/C, Ohio State
The 49ers are doing a great job of building their roster with a mix of the draft and veterans. Their offensive line is an area that should get immediate attention, however, as they need to keep their QB safe.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
Pittsburgh, once again, has one of the most well rounded, talented rosters in the league. They have shown interest in Rudolph during the draft process, and would love if he fell to them here, so they can start grooming him for the future.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
Once the Jags settle on their QB of the future, they are still going to be a defense-centered team that will want to run the ball and control time of possession.
Minnesota Vikings
Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama
The Vikings built a dominant secondary by knowing that you can never have too many good players there. They simply don’t allow themselves to have a weak link.
New England Patriots
Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada
The Patriots don’t love drafting offensive linemen early, but they will need to shift that philosophy as it hasn’t been working.
Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia)
James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State
The Browns have an excellent possession receiver in Landry, and a potential star at the position, that could be a star, but could use a dependable vertical option on the other side.
