2018 NFL Draft Thread

[Riffraft]

Finally set to start my full mock today.  Per usual, I'm no insider, so this is who I would take, not who I think they would take.  Also, any former picks in parenthesis mean it's a mock trade, and not necessarily where the teams are actually picking

TRADES:
49ers trade 1st round (#9) to Bills for 1st round (#12) and 3rd round (#96)
Packers trade 1st round (#14) to Browns for two 2nd rounds (#33 and #35)
Titans trade 1st round (#25) to Lions for 2nd round (#51), 3rd round (#82) and 2019 3rd round pick

As a life long Browns' fan, I would not be happy with this draft. First Lamar (imho) is not a first round pick. Second, I just don't think Barkley is going to be a game changing back. Saw too much of his yard from breakaway combined with many 1 or 2 yard carries. Also I think he bounces outside too much. Won't be able to do that in the NFL. If I was drafting for the Browns, I would probably draft Mayfield at one. Chubb at 4 (to combine him with Garrett). I might consider trading back into the first round if there was someone I absolutely loved that I didn't think would make it to the top of the 2nd.

Is there anyone in the draft that is a good player, but injured?

The Bears like drafting pre-injured players. Feel free to nominate.

I'll go with Jack Cichy.

didn't know where to put it. Seahawks expected to cut Malik McDowell. Wow.

Sounds like the ATV accident may be career ending.  Rumors of it being a brain injury that isn't improving.

[Cincydawg]

Lorenzo Carter (LB) is a pretty good second round pick if he lasts that long.  He played in the shadow of his better known counterpart but was very effective and athletic.  It's interesting that most have Sony Michel higher than Nick Chubb, which does make sense, but Chubb was always the starter ahead of Michel in college.  Different game of course.

I of course would do the "Wisconsin model" and pick linemen on both sides, perhaps late in the first round by trading down, and build a team from the lines out.  But perhaps it's better to draft a QB high and watch him flame out like the Browns do?

He certainly looks the part, I'm just concerned as to why the production never quite matched the skill set.

S Marcel Harris from Florida was out the whole year, but is going into the draft.  Big-hitter, not great at coverage.

Physically he's a beast, and I wondered the same thing you did, but then saw a focus story on him.  He's too nice.  Like he's chill and nice and coaches had a hard time getting him amped up and unleashing the beast.

Florida has a chance at an obscure 'thing' - getting a kicker and punter drafted in the same year.  Hasn't happened since the mid-90s, and not since the draft shortened to 7 rounds.

This will probably be the fewest players UF will have drafted in the last number of years.  Ick.

[Mdot21]

Good to see Hurst is evidently okay.

if he slips into the 2nd round, whoever drafts him is going to get a heck of a deal. wouldn't mind seeing the Browns draft Bradley Chubb in the 1st to team up with Myles Garrett and then take Hurst early in the 2nd rd. Talk about the foundation of a beastly DL.
If I'm the Browns I take Chubb with the 1st pick. If they take Josh Allen with that pick.....omg.
