Predicting the 2018 NFL Draft Order: Week 14 Update
By Jon Dove
25. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers are put themselves in great position to win the AFC West. They are playing the best football out of any team in the division and have a proven quarterback in Philip Rivers.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville continues to pull off wins thanks to their defense and solid running game. However, Blake Bortles has shown some improvements and is starting to play within the offensive attack. It’ll be interesting if he can make good decisions when the pressure is at its highest.
27. Seattle Seahawks
This past weekend was a huge win for the Seahawks in that it helps their confidence and puts them closer to earning a playoff berth. However, so much of their success depends on Russell Wilson that their long-term success looks fragile.
28. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are a really fun team to watch and are a realistic Super Bowl contender. They have a combination of a highly effective offense and a defense that has enough talent to show up during the playoffs.
29. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh was able to squeak out a win against the Bengals, but the loss of Ryan Shazier could have long-term implications. He has played very well this year and is the leader on that side of the ball. Hopefully, Shazier is able to make a full recovery.
30. Minnesota Vikings
It’s past time to believe in Case Keenum as the long-term answer for the Minnesota Vikings. He is not only making good decisions, but also adding an explosive element to the offense. However, this Vikings team’s success relies on the defense continuing to play at an elite level.
31. Philadelphia Eagles
Losing on the road to the Seattle Seahawks is something that can be expected. It’s absolutely not a reason to jump off the Eagles bandwagon. This team still has all the pieces needed to make a trip to the Super Bowl.
32. New England Patriots
Tom Brady is on a rampage even willing to upstage his offensive coordinator on the sideline. However, it seems like the narrative continues to be that Brady is a fiery competitor. He’s one of the few players who can look good in that type of situation. It’s why he’s the GOAT.
