A Quick NFL Mock Draft for 2018 Draft

This updated version of my NFL Mock Draft again features plenty of changes and interesting scenarios.

One of the biggest storylines of the NFL season has been the struggles of the New York Giants. Their 0-5 start has them projected to earn a top-5 draft pick and have them at No. 2 overall in my updated NFL Mock Draft.

This situation creates plenty of intrigue as the Giants would need to seriously consider drafting a quarterback at that spot. Would that mean the end of Eli Manning’s run in New York? It’s definitely something nobody thought we would be discussing at the beginning of the year.

The draft order below was developed using ESPN’s Power Ranking with a playoff scenario involved.

1. Cleveland Browns- Sam Darnold, QB, USC

2. New York Giants- Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

3. Chicago Bears- Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama

4. San Francisco 49ers- Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
