Every year around this time, I think to myself that it is crazy for me to do this because I have no contacts in NFL front offices, I have no scouting background, and I don’t know enough about football to make a realistic mock draft. But then I remember that the people who supposedly have these things going on their favor will also not accurately predict the draft either so why shouldn’t I give it a shot after reading a few mocks and a few rumors online.
So, here’s my shot at predicting the first round of tomorrow night’s NFL Draft.
1. Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold, QB, USC
2. New York Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
3. New York Jets: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
4. Cleveland Browns: Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State
5. Buffalo Bills (Projected Trade with Denver): Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
6. Miami Dolphins (Projected Trade with Indianapolis): Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Minkah Fitzpatrick, S, Alabama
8. Chicago Bears: Roquan Smith, LB, Alabama
9. San Francisco 49ers: Derwin James, S, Florida State
10. Oakland Raiders: Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
11. Indianapolis Colts (Projected Trade with Miami): Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech
12. Denver Broncos (Projected Trade with Buffalo): Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
13. Washington Redskins: Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
14. Green Bay Packers: Derrius Guice, RB, LSU
15. Arizona Cardinals: Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
16. Baltimore Ravens: Harold Landry, LB, Boston College
17. Los Angeles Chargers: Vita Vea, DT, Washington
18. Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA
