Predicting the 2018 NFL Draft Order: Week 10 Update
By Jon Dove
We are past the halfway point of the season and are getting a good idea of how the 2018 NFL Draft Order could look.
This weeks predicted 2018 NFL Draft Order used ESPN’s Updated Power Rankings as the base. A playoff scenario is played out in order to fill out those spots. These rankings give a good look at the pulse of each team and what direction they are trending.
1. Cleveland Browns
The Browns losing streak continues to roll on and doesn’t look like things are about to change anytime soon. It’s a little confusing because there are talented players on this roster. Maybe we have all overrated Hue Jackson.

2. San Francisco 49ers
It’ll be interesting to see if the 49ers can rattle off a few wins once Jimmy Garoppolo is inserted into the starting lineup. Don’t be fooled, Garoppolo will get his chance to start for the 49ers.
3. New York Giants
Another week and another miserable performance by the New York Giants. This team is a complete disaster and with each loss bringing us closer to the end of the Ben McAdoo era.
4. Indianapolis Colts
With Andrew Luck shutdown for the rest of the season it’s the Jacoby Brissett show. Brissett has played solid football, but the rest of the Colts roster is missing enough talent to compete.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ryan Fitzpatrick is back as a starting quarterback filling in for the injured Jameis Winston. It’s another terrible situation for what has been a disappointing year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They can only hope to gain some momentum once Winston gets back in the lineup.
6. Chicago Bears
Hopefully the Chicago Bears used the bye week to develop a way to open up the passing attack. Mitch Trubisky isn’t going to learn much if he’s only attempting a handful of passes each game. Chicago needs to give him a chance to take some shots down field.
7. Miami Dolphins
Do we really believe that Jay Cutler is going to build off last week’s performance? This is the Cutler that Chicago dealt with for years. He has one great performance followed by several stinkers.
8. Cincinnati Bengals
I was completely shocked to see that A.J. Green wasn’t suspended for his brawl with Jalen Ramsey. This might be the first bit of luck that this year’s Bengals team has gotten all year.
