Since everybody else is doing this, I guess I will too.
Every NFL team needs someone to help fill their void…yes even the Eagles! Last night I ‘mocked’ the 1st round-picks that will come in the 2018 NFL Draft. Yes, some of these predictions seem stupid, but honestly, I agree with all my predictions and picks. I’ll explain each one a little more in-depth.
| Draft Team | Player | Pos. | College | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Browns | Lamar Jackson | QB | Louisville | Obviously, DeShone Kizer, isn't having the best career. The Browns were the 6th most sacked team in the NFL. They need a fast, elite QB like Lamar Jackson. |
| Giants | Saquon Barkley | RB | Penn State | Eli Manning could do another year or two. Their main need is at the RB position. The New York Giants only have 6 rushing touchdowns this year. A RB like Saquon Barkley could help lead this team to the Superbowl. |
| Colts | James Washington | WR | Oklahoma State | Once Andrew Luck comes back healthy, the Colts will definitely improve. Especially with the help of T.Y. Hilton, and a player like James Washington. |
| Browns | Derrius Guice | RB | LSU | Now since the Browns filled in the most important position on offense. It's time for them to start fresh with a new RB as well. Guice would be a great addition for them. |
| Broncos | Mason Rudolph | QB | Oklahoma State | Broncos have been searching for a QB for ages ever since Peyton Manning left. It's time for them to get a good QB like Mason Rudolph. |
| Jets | Baker Mayfield | QB | Oklahoma | Without Josh McCrown. The Jets definitely need a new QB. Baker Mayfield would be perfect for them. |
| Buccaneers | Ronald Jones II | RB | Southern California | Doug Martins good days are over. It's time to get another RB to help out Jameis Wisnton. Ronald Jones II would do them good. |
| Bears | Marcel Ateman | WR | Oklahoma State | The Bears newly added QB Mike Trubisky has a lot of potential. Ateman would be a great weapon to grow chemistry with. |
| 49ers | Denzel Ward | CB | Ohio State | Now with Jimmy Garropolo the Niners have been playing fine. Now they just need to fix their defensive passing game. Ward would be awesome for them. |
| Raiders | Courtland Sutton | WR | Southern Methodist | Arguably the Raiders also need a replacement for lately-terrible Derek Carr. But WR Michael Crabtree is getting older and needs a partner to grow a little more with. Coutland Sutton would be cool to see in a Raiders jersey. |
| Dolphins | Josh Rosen | QB | UCLA | Dolphins have agruably the worst NFL team in the past 20 years. It's time for a new QB. |
| Bengals | Mark Andrews | TE | Oklahoma | Andy Dalton needs a new weapon to build off instead of Tyler Kroft. Mark Andrews would do the job. |
| Redskins | Anthony Miller | WR | Memphis | Kirk Cousins doesn't deserve to be on a weaponless team. Miller could definitely help this team get a winning record. |
| Packers | Royce Freeman | RB | Oregon | Packers will be absolute fire for the next upcoming years when Aaron Rodgers comeback, especially with the help of RB Freemen from Oregon. |
| Cardinals | Sam Darnold | QB | Southern California | Some may ague that Lamar Jackson would look better in a Cardinals jersey. But without Carson Palmer helping out the team. Sam Darnold would be a top 10 addition. They can worry about adding wideouts in free-agency. |
| Ravens | Calvin Ridley | WR | Alabama | Calvin Ridley could definitely help out spectacular QB Joe Flacco. Maybe his addition could lead to a new era for the Ravens. |
| Chargers | Rashaan Evins | LB | Alabama | This team looked fairly promising this last year. A defensive addition would definitely help their defense out. |
| Seahawks | Dallas Goedart | TE | Oklahoma State | Jimmy Graham is getting old. It's time to soon get a new TE for Russell Wilson. Dallas Goedart would be good for this steam. |
| Cowboys | Mike Gesicki | TE | Penn State | Gesicki definitely helped Penn State out a lot the past few years. He could do the same for the Cowboys. Give Dak Prescott another year to prove his greatness. |
| Lions | Sony Michel | RB | Georgia | There really is nobody special behind the RB position for the Lions. It's time to get one. Sony Michel should help lead this team to the playoffs. |
| Bills | Michael Gallup | WR | Colorado State | Michael Gallup, would Gallup right along with this team, LOL. Seriously though. |
| Bills | Josh Allen | QB | Wyoming | The River Phillips era can't last forever. Soon time for a new one. Maybe not this year, but the years yet to come, and build upon. |
| Panthers | Auden Tate | WR | Florida State | Without Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers will need a replacement to lead them to another Superbowl. |
| Rams | Ronnnie Harrison | SS | Alabam | It's uncommon to see a SS get drafted in the 1st round. But the Rams SS situation needs some help. |
| Titans | Quenton Nelson | G | Notre Dame | DeMarco Murray needs some help from his line. A new G would be great for this team. |
| Falcons | Ross Pierschbacher | G | Alabama | Same situation here...Devonta Freeman needs some help! |
| Saints | Nick Stevens | QB | Colorado State | Just a backup for Drew Brees...for now 😉 |
| Steelers | Dorian O'Daniel | LB | Clemson | Almost every player that comes out of Clemson is good. So will Dorian O'Daniel. |
| Vikings | Nick Chubb | RB | Georgia | Vikings need a partner for Murray. |
| Patriots | Malik Jefferson | LB | Texas | The Pats have a fairly good offense, they just need a better defense to build off of. Maybe a new QB next year. |
| Eagles | Orlando Brown | OT | Oklahoma | An addition like Orlando Brown will definitely reduce the chance of Carson Wentz getting injured...again. |
| Jaguars | Jaylen Samuels | TE | NC State | The Superbowl champs need some help too! Get a new TE like Jaylen Samuels. |
Some may disagree with many picks, but I don’t.
