2018 NFL Mock Draft: 2nd Round Predictions
By Jon Dove
As we move into the second day of the draft here’s a look at an updated 2018 NFL Mock Draft features the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
There’s still plenty of work for NFL teams to do in the NFL Draft. This 2018 NFL Mock Draft shows the type of talent still on the board. We could see several high impact players emerge from this portion of the draft.
33. Cleveland Browns- Connor Williams, OL, Texas
Williams would come in and compete right away for one of the tackle spots.
34. New York Giants- James Daniels, C, Iowa
Daniels is a day-1 starter for the Giants and would fill a major hole at the center spot.
35. Cleveland Browns (Hou)- Derrius Guice, RB, LSU
Guice is a powerful runner who could quickly emerge as the Browns every-down back.
36. Indianapolis Colts- Sam Hubbard, Edge, Ohio State
Hubbard’s ability to generate pressure off the edge would fill a major need for the Colts.
37. Indianapolis Colts (NYJ)- Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama
Pairing Harrison with Malik Hooker would give the Colts an extremely talented safety duo.
38. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Donte Jackson, CB, LSU
Jackson would likely start out as the Buccaneers nickleback with a chance to earn reps on the outside.
39. Chicago Bears- Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP
Hernandez should be able to seize the starting guard spot opposite Kyle Long.
40. Denver Broncos- Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State
Goedert would represent an upgrade at the tight end position in Denver. He would also give Case Keenum a reliable target.
41. Oakland Raiders- Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa
Jackson’s stiff movement skills are why he’s available in the 2nd round. However, his ball skills are something every defensive coordinator covets in a defensive back.

43. New England Patriots (SF)- Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
Rudolph would be a great choice as the backup and eventual successor for Tom Brady.

Nwosu is a well-rounded player who will help as a pass rusher, run defender and in coverage.
46. Cincinnati Bengals- Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
Okorafor is a big-bodied offensive line prospect who has good movement skills. He has a chance to earn reps at left tackle early in his rookie year.

Kirk is a shifty athlete who does a great job creating separation. He would be a welcome addition to the Cardinals depleted wide receiver group.

Carter features a great blend of size, length and quickness. He has a chance to be a very effective pass rusher at the next level.

The Cowboys need help at the wide receiver position and Sutton comes with tremendous raw skills.
51. Detroit Lions- Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College
Landry has to develop more pass rush moves, but he has the burst off the edge to create pressure.

Chubb is a steady performer who would give the Eagles a nice complement to Jay Ajayi.

54. Kansas City Chiefs- Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada
Corbett is an NFL ready guard prospect who could step in and immediately help the Chiefs.

Jones would serve as a nice swing tackle for the Vikings.
63. New England Patriots- Hercules Mata’afa, Edge, Washington State
Mata’afa’s versatility is something that will be very attractive to Bill Belichick.
