2018 NFL Mock Draft: Week 5 Update
By Jon Dove
25. Philadelphia Eagles- James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State
Alshon Jeffery hasn’t had much of an impact for the Philadelphia Eagles. Especially when you factor in that he wants to be paid like a No. 1 receiver. Chances are the Eagles let him walk in the offseason which will create a hole.
James Washington is a physical receiver who would give the Eagles what they expected to get from Jeffery. Carson Wentz will love targeting someone who routinely wins in contested situations.
26. New England Patriots- Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
At the moment, the New England Patriots defense is one of the worst in the league. They are struggling to stop the run, get after the quarterback while making mental mistakes in the secondary. I don’t expect this to continue, but this defense needs to add another pass rusher.
Clelin Ferrell is a quick developing edge prospect who knows how to create pressure. He also has the versatility Bill Belichick likes in his defensive players.
27. Seattle Seahawks- Trey Adams, OT, Washington
The Seattle Seahawks don’t appear too worried about their struggles along the offensive line. However, it’s those struggles that have hurt the effectiveness of the offense. Trey Adams is a versatile offensive line prospect who could fit at both tackle and guard.
28. Denver Broncos- Vita Vea, DT, Washington
The past couple years everyone has talked about the Denver Broncos pass rush and secondary. However, their run defense has finally caught up making this one of the best overall defenses in the NFL. Domata Peko has been a great addition, but at 32 years old he’s on the backend of his career.
Vita Vea would give the Broncos another physical force on the interior of the defensive line. He excels at occupying blockers, but also has the quickness to make plays behind the line of scrimmage.
