Projected 2018 NFL Draft Order: Week 2 Update
By Jon Dove
13. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings looked like a Super Bowl contender this past week against the New Orleans Saints. Sam Bradford looked really comfortable working in this offense. However, they did face a Saints defense breaking in a lot of new players.
Minnesota has a strong enough defense to be a legitimate threat, but the offense could be a problem as they face tougher competition.

14. Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia is in a similar boat as the Minnesota Vikings. They had an impressive Week 1 win against the Washington Redskins, but it’s tough to tell how much of that was based on their talent or the Redskins issues.
One thing is certain, Carson Wentz looks like a guy who belongs in the NFL. He may be a little erratic at times but he is a gamer and fights to win games.
15. Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins begin a stretch of 16-straigth games after postponing their Week 1 matchup due to Hurricane Irma. This decision was the right one, but that doesn’t make the task ahead any easier. It will be interesting to see how the Dolphins manage this situation.
Another interesting situation to monitor in Miami is the play of Jay Cutler. Can the veteran have a successful season working with Adam Gase again?
16. Cleveland Browns (via Hous)
This is Cleveland’s second 1st round pick thanks to the trade that netted the Houston Texans DeShaun Watson. It will be really fun to monitor the outcome of this trade as it basically pits Watson against Cleveland’s 2nd round pick DeShone Kizer.
