2018 NFL Mock Draft: Could the Cleveland Browns pass on a Quarterback?
By Jon Dove
9. Oakland Raiders- Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech
Tremaine Edmunds is a stud linebacker prospect who can play either inside or out. With the Raiders, he would likely man the middle of the field which was a major weak spot for the team. His explosiveness and big hits will help set the tone.
10. San Francisco 49ers- Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
The 49ers have their quarterback of the future in Jimmy Garoppolo and now need to surround him with the talent needed to succeed. Calvin Ridley’s numbers don’t do him justice as he has the upside of a true No. 1 receiver.
Teaming Ridley with veterans Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin would give the 49ers some big-time weapons.
11. Miami Dolphins- Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame
Miami needs help along the offensive line, but mainly in the interior. Quenton Nelson would be a great fit as someone who can bring some physicality to the unit. His ability to open up running lanes fits right in with how Adam Gase wants to run his offense.
12. Cincinnati Bengals- Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
I fully expect Chukwuma Okorafor’s draft stock to rise after the Senior Bowl. This is a fluid athlete with the size and technique to be an immediate starter in the NFL. The fact that he played at Western Michigan has contributed to him flying under the radar.
