Here we go, my final mock draft for the 2018 NFL draft. There's a change at the top -- it's no longer Josh Allen, who is in the news on draft day for all the wrong reasons.
A reminder: This is not a reflection of where I have players ranked. My final Big Board is here. This mock is a projection of where I think guys can come off the board based on what I'm hearing. And remember, these are the picks right now, and so trades could blow up everything. I'm not including any trades below.
Quick links: Full draft order | Kiper's final Big Board | McShay's final mock draft
1. Cleveland Browns
Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
You heard it from ESPN's Adam Schefter this morning. Baker to Cleveland is all the talk. Josh Allen isn't helped by the offensive tweets that surfaced overnight. Mayfield could be ready to compete with Tyrod Taylor immediately.
2. New York Giants
Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
We can't ignore the Barkley buzz. The Giants love him.
3. New York Jets (from Indianapolis Colts)
Sam Darnold, QB, USC
I don't think the Jets will pass on Darnold here, and they also like Mayfield.
4. Cleveland Browns (from Houston Texans)
Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State
That makes elite pass-rushers in back-to-back drafts for the Browns, who got Myles Garrett at No. 1 last year.
5. Denver Broncos
Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
I don't think Allen will fall far, and this is a logical trade-up spot. Don't rule out Denver trying to add a few more premium picks. Since I'm not doing trades in my mock, I'll give Allen to the Broncos. Buffalo and Arizona are both trying to move up to get a quarterback.
6. Indianapolis Colts (from New York Jets)
Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia
Smith would be an impact defender for new coach Frank Reich. If Chubb falls, this could be the spot for him.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Derwin James, S, Florida State
The Bucs need playmakers in the secondary. That's James, who is likely to be the first defensive back off the board.
8. Chicago Bears
Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
As we discussed on the First Draft podcast, Nelson to the Bears makes perfect sense.
9. San Francisco 49ers
Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
San Francisco also would be a great fit for Roquan Smith, if he makes it here. Ward is the draft's top true corner.
10. Oakland Raiders
Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
McGlinchey has gotten a ton of buzz in the past week. He's rising. Teams think he can play left tackle.
11. Miami Dolphins
Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech
Could Miami go quarterback here? Edmunds makes sense as a fallback option -- the Dolphins' linebacker group isn't very good.
12. Buffalo Bills (from Cincinnati Bengals)
Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
Buffalo absolutely could move up. In fact, a trade might even be likely. I'll give them a quarterback, and Rosen could start there quickly.
13. Washington Redskins
Vita Vea, DT, Washington
It was Vea or Da'Ron Payne -- Washington needs a nose tackle.
14. Green Bay Packers
Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
Fitzpatrick has dropped a little bit because teams don't know exactly what position he'll play. He's a tweener. He's a really good player, and this could be the steal of the draft.
15. Arizona Cardinals
Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
I don't think Jackson is getting past Arizona here. Keep an eye on trades, though.
16. Baltimore Ravens
Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
Baltimore has to help Joe Flacco, and Ridley is the best route runner in the class.
17. Los Angeles Chargers
Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama
Like Washington, the Chargers have a glaring hole at nose tackle.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Marcus Davenport, OLB, Texas-San Antonio
Davenport is raw, but he's a physical specimen with elite traits, and those are the types of players Pete Carroll loves.
19. Dallas Cowboys
Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
I keep hearing the Cowboys like Sutton, though I'd go with Maryland wideout D.J. Moore. Linebacker also could be in play.
20. Detroit Lions
Taven Bryan, DT, Florida
Bryan underperformed in college, but he has the tools to be a star. New Lions coach Matt Patricia adds a piece to a defense that must get better.
21. Cincinnati Bengals (from Buffalo Bills)
Frank Ragnow, C/G, Arkansas
Ragnow is likely going to be the first center off the board, but Iowa's James Daniels might not be far behind.
22. Buffalo Bills (from Kansas City Chiefs)
Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville
Buffalo could grab another first-round corner to play opposite Tre'Davious White, who was great as a rookie last season.
23. New England Patriots
Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA
My comp for Miller over the past few months has been Nate Solder, who just left New England for the Giants in free agency. If Bill Belichick doesn't trade down, offensive tackle, defensive back or linebacker make the most sense.
24. Carolina Panthers
D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland
Carolina could go with a guard like UTEP's Will Hernandez here, but I'm a big fan of Moore.
25. Tennessee Titans
Harold Landry, OLB, Boston College
Landry is a perfect fit in the Titans' 3-4 defense.
26. Atlanta Falcons
Will Hernandez, G, UTEP
This is another great fit for a team that could have one of the best rushing offenses in the league in 2018.
27. New Orleans Saints
Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
Dallas Goedert could be in play here too, but Hurst might be more ready to contribute right away. And the Saints think they're Super Bowl contenders.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama
Love Evans' fit for Pittsburgh, which needs to replace Ryan Shazier in the middle of the defense.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State
Goedert is a better receiving threat than Hurst, and Blake Bortles needs a security blanket.
30. Minnesota Vikings
James Daniels, C/G, Iowa
I thought about cornerback for Minnesota's already-loaded defense, but Daniels fits a need as a plug-and-play guard.
31. New England Patriots
Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa
Jackson is a bigger corner who started only one year in college, but he was fantastic in 2017, snagging eight interceptions. Could he fill in for Malcolm Butler immediately?
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Sony Michel, RB, Georgia
The Super Bowl champs have zero pressing needs. It's good to be king. This is also a perfect spot for a team trying to trade up to draft a player to retain his fifth-year option.
