2018 NFL Mock Draft: Predicting the 2nd Round of the Draft

This is a follow up to my 2018 NFL Mock Draft of the 1st round which posted a few hours ago.

Please be sure to check out the 1st round of this 2018 NFL Mock Draft that appeared on the site earlier in the afternoon. This is the 2nd round of that mock draft which builds off the players added in the 1st round.

The 2nd round of the 2018 NFL Draft has plenty of talent and will give teams a chance to add some immediate starters.

33. Cleveland Browns– Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

The Browns need secondary help and grab a potential No. 1 corner here with Ward.

34. New York Giants– Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

Jones is a fluid athlete with the size needed to play left tackle in the NFL.

35. Cleveland Browns (via Hou)– Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU

Sutton features a rare combo of size and athleticism.

36. Indianapolis Colts– Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State

McFadden is a ball-hawking cornerback who has a knack for creating turnovers.

37. New York Jets– Marcus Davenport, Edge, UTSA

The small school defender has a chance to be a special pass rusher.

38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers– Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP

Hernandez is a road-grader who will immediately improve the Buccaneers running game.

39. Chicago Bears– Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado State

Gallup has the size, speed and aggressiveness to quickly develop into a No. 1 receiver.

40. Denver Broncos– Derrick Nnadi, DT, Florida State

Nnadi is a load to move off the line of scrimmage and has upside as a pass rusher.

41. Oakland Raiders– Taven Bryan, DL, Florida

Bryan is a bit raw, but he  has as much talent as any defensive lineman in this draft.

42. Miami Dolphins– Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State

Goedert is a mismatch in the passing game and a potential game changer.

43. New England Patriots (via SF)– Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College

Landry has the burst needed to generate pressure off the edge.

Cain has speed for days and is a major deep threat.

Andrews has shown big-time potential as a pass catching tight end.

Daniels is a day-1 starter and should have a long career in the NFL.

49. New York Jets (via Sea)– Isaiah Wynn, OL, Georgia

Wynn is an underrated prospect who could hear his name called much earlier than this spot.

50. Dallas Cowboys– D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland

Moore would give the Cowboys the speed they are lacking at the wide receiver position.

Michel is a versatile runner who can also help as a pass catcher.

Oliver is still raw as a player, but his size and ball skills make him a high upside prospect.

53. Buffalo Bills– Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa

Jackson has great ball skills, but I have questions about the rest of his skill set.

54. Kansas City Chiefs– Harrison Phillips, DL, Stanford

Phillips is a hard-nosed defender who is a load in the trenches.

55. Carolina Panthers– Auden Tate, WR, Florida State

Tate’s size and body control make him a great contested catch receiver.

Price will be a nice fill in for the recently retired Eric Wood.

Cole has experience at all spots along the offensive line.

Brown is a dynamic athlete who also features great size.

Wadley has home-run ability while also being able to grind out the tough yards.

64. New England Patriots– Nick DeLuca, LB, North Dakota State

DeLuca would fit as a versatile linebacker in Bill Belichick’s stysem.
