Next year’s draft is a long ways away, but it’s never too early to put together a 2018 NFL Mock Draft.

This 2018 NFL Mock Draft gives an early look at how things could shake out next year. It’s important to note that I have not completed the evaluation process on any of these prospects. In fact, I’ve only gotten a good look on a few players.

The order of this 2018 NFL Mock Draft is also going to see major changed. This order was produced using my NFL Power Rankings from last week. You can find the article by clicking this link.

Things are shaping up for an extremely interesting draft process. The 2018 Draft is loaded with quarterback talent which always creates a fluid situation. I have six quarterbacks in this mock draft and a few others are on the radar.

USC’s Sam Darnold, Wyoming’s Josh Allen and UCLA’s Josh Rosen are the top three names at this point. Allen is my top rated quarterback prospect after going through game tape on each of these prospects.

Darnold isn’t far behind and is trending up. He has tons of great tape despite not having a full year as a starter under his belt.

Rosen is super talented but is coming off an injury. His medical checkups and recovery will play an important role in his draft stock.
