This year’s draft is pretty deep which can be seen here with the different talent ranked deeper on my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board.

The late 1st round and 2nd round is going to be a prime spot to land starting caliber players in this year’s draft. This updated look at my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board shows some of the different players that could be available in that range.

26. Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA

Miller is an excellent athlete who is developing into top-notch pass protector.

27. Uchenna Nwosu, LB/Edge, USC

Nwosu is a versatile player who will give defensive coordinators plenty of options.

28. Marcus Davenport, Edge, UTSA

Davenport is working to hone his skill set, but this is a kid with tons of upside.

29. D.J. Chark, WR, LSU

Chark is a quick-twitch athlete who can take the top off the defense. He’ll provide an immediate big-play threat.

30. James Daniels, C, Iowa

Daniels is NFL ready and should hold down a starting center job for the next 10 years.

31. Mike Hughes, CB, UCF

Hughes is an aggressive defender who will take risks in coverage.

32. Orlando Brown Jr., OT, Oklahoma

Brown’s combine performance absolutely hurt his draft stock, but his on-field play still warrants this type of ranking.

33. Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Rudolph could be one of the bigger surprises of this draft class. His a polished passer who isn’t getting enough hype.

34. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

Mayfield’s accuracy is what makes him standout, but his arm strength has surprised some throughout the draft process.

35. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Edge, Oklahoma

Okoronkwo might be a little undersized, but he’s someone who can routinely generate pressure on the quarterback.

36. Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State

Goedert is a mismatch working out of the tight end spot and should hear his name called earlier than expected.

37. Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn

Davis is a bigger cornerback who wins because of his physicality. However, there are some questions regarding his fluidity.

38. Deon Cain, WR, Clemson

Cain is a burner who can easily take the top off a defense. The key for Cain is that he needs to continue developing as a route runner.

39. Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama

Payne has tremendous upside as a run defender, but his college tape is highly inconsistent.

40. Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford

Phillips is a powerful defender who can eat up blockers and hold at the point of attack.

41. Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado State

Gallup features a good combination of size, speed and route running ability.

42. Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College

Landry’s has proven pass rush skills, but needs to be a more consistent performer.

43. Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

Jones is a smooth athlete who can hold up in pass protection.

44. Isaiah Wynn, OL, Georiga

Wynn is a physical player at the point of attack and someone capable of being an immediate starter.

45. Sony Michel, RB, Georgia

Michel is a versatile runner who can work between the tackles and attack the edge. His health is the only concern.

46. Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan

Phillips is an underrated cornerback who has the upside to develop into a No. 1 cornerback.

47. Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU

You can’t teach Sutton’s combination of size and speed. The problem is that he needs to improve his route running.

48. Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State

Gesicki is a physical freak who can be a major red zone threat.

49. Mason Cole, OL, Michigan

Cole has played left tackle, guard and center at Michigan. However, center appears to be his best fit at the next level.

50. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

Chubb tested better than expected at the combine which will help his draft stock. This is a well-rounded runner who could be the bell-cow for a team.
