2018 NFL Draft Big Board: Week 2 Update
By Jon Dove
9. Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
Josh Rosen’s talent has never been in question. It’s his maturity and off-field decision making that makes some nervous. So far this year nothing has really changed. Rosen is playing at a high level, but also making some questionable comments.
It will only take one team to feel they can curb his outspoken ways for Rosen to be drafted. However, the fact he plays the quarterback position could make more teams hesitant. He is absolutely in the running to be the first quarterback off the board.
10. Derrick Nnadi, DT, Florida State
This might be high for Derrick Nnadi, but I see this as a dominant interior force. He has already established himself as a strong run defender and has flashed pass rush ability. Florida State has such a talented defensive line that they only need Nnadi to stick to his strengths.
11. Orlando Brown Jr, OT, Oklahoma
Orlando Brown Jr. had a very strong performance against Ohio State’s defensive line. His size is what immediately stands out, but he also has surprising athleticism for someone with his size. Brown has all the attributes evaluators look for in a franchise left tackle.
He has put himself in good position to be the first offensive lineman selected in the 2018 NFL Draft.
12. Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
Mason Rudolph is flying under the radar when compared to the other quarterbacks in this draft class. However, he is someone with a ton of talent and has improved each year. Rudolph isn’t just a spread quarterback as he shows the ability to work both sides of the field.
His deep ball is what really stands out as he does a great job delivering it with accuracy. In fact, Rudolph has good ball placement on all his throws. He is also a better athlete than most realize.
