2018 First-pick.com mock draft thread

[shopson67]

Latest try. Giants wouldn't trade down, got #4 for #12 and #22 from Cleveland. If you don't like Allen, could be Mayfield or Jackson (Rosen and Darnold went 1 and 3). Traded down a few times late to add some 7th rounders.

Your score is: 20880 (GRADE: B+)

Round 1 Pick 4 (CLE): Allen, Josh, QB, Wyoming (A)
Round 2 Pick 21: Sutton, Courtland, WR, Southern Methodist (A-)

Probably going to take more than your #12 and #22 pick to trade up to #4, especially if only 1 QB has left the board by pick #4. Going to take 2019 2nd round pick, maybe even 1st round pick.

No way is Sutton making it to the 2nd round, or Orlando Brown making it to the 3rd. Both will be selected in the 1st round would be my best estimation.

All I can do is work with what the simulator gives me. Browns accepted that trade (and it works with the value chart) and those players were still there. Brown's AWFUL work out will hurt his value a little, but probably not that much.

I think he's going early 2nd now

but dropping to the 3rd is not out of the question, won't be the end of the 3rd though

I honestly think Giants are holding pat to see if they can get Barkley. If Browns take Barkley Giants will trade down. Honestly I think the best thing that can happen is the Browns take Darnold. If that happens it goes Darnold Barkley Rosen and Both Browns and Broncos I think will be willing to trade down.

Gotta think the Browns are going QB at #1, especially with the Jets trading up. Browns need to hit that QB position right this time, and waiting to #4 is a huge gamble. I really think that Darnold is the choice, especially after working out well in the rain.

Giants would then choose between QB, Barkley, and Chubb (just traded JPP). I really don't have a feel for what the Giants will do, and don't know if the lack of a trade down is their doing or if everyone isn't just waiting until closer to the draft. Giants can't wait too much longer to get a QB in play behind Eli, but passing on Barkley or Chubb would be equally tough. Trading with the Bills (unless they make another incremental trade up first) will take them out of the running for all of those guys (plus Nelson) and probably match them up with Davenport (the second best DE prospect). Giants will likely stay put unless blown away with an offer, but will it be Rosen, Barkley, or Chubb?

Your score is: 20311 (GRADE: B)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 12: Mayfield, Baker, QB, Oklahoma (A)
Round 1 Pick 22: Vander Esch, Leighton, OLB/ILB, Boise State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 21: Jones II, Ronald, RB, Southern California (A)
Round 2 Pick 24: Miller, Anthony, WR, Memphis (A-)
Round 3 Pick 1: Brown, Orlando, OT, Oklahoma (B+)
Round 3 Pick 32: Teller, Wyatt, OG, Virginia Tech (A)
Round 4 Pick 21: Hall, PJ, DT/DE, Sam Houston State (A+)
Round 5 Pick 29: Scales, Tegray, ILB, Indiana (A)
Round 6 Pick 13: Reed, DJ, CB, Kansas State (A+)

1.12 - self explanatory (both elite LBs already off the board), chose between Baker and Lamar
1.22 - 3rd best ILB in the draft IMO
2.21 - potential Shady replacement
2.24 - immediate starter in the slot (or outside, if Zay is in the slot)
3.1 - upgrade at RT (if not eventual LT)
3.32 - immediate starter at LG (if Richie does retire) or upgrade at RG
4.21 - replacement in training for Kyle, key rotational player at minimum
5.29 - backup at SAM LB, eventual replacement for Zo
6.13 - complete for "starting" nickel CB and kick/punt returner

I like this draft more than the grade they gave, fills a lot of needs with solid talent. Not sold on Baker personally, but didn't want to pick Lamar every time lol.

Round 6 Pick 13: ODaniel, Dorian, OLB, Clemson (A)

Mayfield, Allen, and Lamar all still available at #12 in this mock. However Vander Esch was off the board before #22.

Vander will definitely not make it to 22. I think the probability of one of the four QB falling is high. Seriously, who is gonna move ahead of us? Cards the only maybe...Pats a long shot. Chargers an even longer shot. That's it. I find it hard to believe anyone from 6-11 will move back due to the talent available. Denver is the only spot I see a possible trade happening...and that is slim, I think, due to falling back into the mid-to-late teens won't be worth a 2019 1st from a good team like Cards/Pats/Chargers.

Evans is a good fall back LB option at 22.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Can't see Michel, Miller and Jackson falling like that. Would be nice....however taking an RB in round two is a terrible idea. Terrible. We have Shady, Ivory and Cadet. Finding RB is not a difficult task and should not be a priority at all this season.

Horrible rumor going around with the Bills trading a #1 and Shady for Foles.

Regardless, all 3 current RBs are 29-30 years old. None of them can be counted on beyond this season to perform at a high level, if even this season. If the Bills have a top RB talent fall into their laps during the draft, they should jump all over it.

Just finished watching some Wyatt Teller tape. Looks like a mauler and great value!
