The 2018 NFL Draft is just under two weeks away. On a daily basis, there are draft rumors running rampant. The Browns seem to be deciding between Josh Allen and Sam Darnold. The Giants are trying to decide between drafting their next franchise quarterback or their next star positional player. The Bills and Dolphins are two divisional rivals that seem to be trying to put deals together to move up for a quarterback. The Colts seem to be taking a closer look at the draft’s top two linebackers: Tremaine Edmunds and Roquan Smith. Could Barkley really fall past pick 6? Is Lamar Jackson going to go higher than many expect simply because quarterbacks will be going so early? There are so many rumors being thrown out there that it is difficult for draft analysts to decipher.
I continued utilizing trades in my mock draft 3.0. I think there will be many trades completed on draft night. I also added a second round to this mock draft as well.
Overall, this draft has a ton of intrigue, and we still have a long way to go before draft night.
