Below is a list of my completed 2018 NFL Draft Scouting Reports as we slowly creek to the start of the college football season.

We are just getting past the excitement of the 2017 NFL Draft and it’s already time to get prepared for 2018. It’s never too early to start evaluating the talent that could be available in an upcoming draft.

This year’s draft has a lot of big-name prospects that could change the face of the NFL. It’s loaded with offensive weapons and should offer more offensive line talent than the 2017 draft. This article shows a current list of my 2018 NFL Draft Scouting Reports.

All the information in these reports are my own opinion based on watching several game tapes.

More from With the First Pick

The grouping below are prospects I see as 1st-rounders and among the most talented available in the draft class. This year’s draft will have another 1st round with several quarterbacks coming off the board.

Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming

Sam Darnold, QB, USC

Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

Luke Falk, QB, Washington State

Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Trey Adams, OT, Washington

Arden Key, Edge, LSU

Sam Hubbard, Edge, Ohio State

These prospects have plenty of talent and could easily work their way into the 1st round mix. It’s a long season with plenty of opportunities for prospects to improve their draft stock. However, they also come with more question marks than the prospects listed above.

Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville

Myles Gaskin, RB, Washington

Kamryn Pettway, RB, Auburn

Deondre Francois, QB, Florida State

Azeem Victor, LB, Washington

Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State
