Official 2018 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

@RapSheet
#Giants coach Pat Shurmur told reporters he’s “planning on picking at No. 2.” At this point, it seems like: 1. There isn’t a lot of interest in coming all he way up to 2. 2. The Giants want to make the pick.

A lot of reports saying they've settled on Barkley.

According to Polian with this change back on D the most important player is the 3 tech and second is the WILL not the MLB in this D

My guess is Ballard wants Smith 1st then the 3 Tech even if he needs to make some moves to make that happen. Unless he thinks Ridgeway is up to the task.

Polian also said that no way will the Colts take Nelson if Chubb is gone and Smith is still on the board. He said this after the Colts selection on the ESPN live mock draft show when Mike Wells made the pick for the Colts and selected Nelson.

This is my final prediction:

1. CLE - QB
2. NYG - Barkley
3. NYJ - QB
4. CLE - Chubb
5. DEN - QB
6. IND - TRADE DOWN to 11th, 12th, or 15th.

11. 12. or 15. IND - Go down this list in order, and whoever is the top available, we take him:
1. Nelson
2. Minkah Fitzpatrick
3. Roquan Smith
4. Mike McGlinchey

Gettleman was asking too much I bet. He's not the charmer Ballard is.

Reportedly Hurst is dropping some bc of his size and worries about his heart. And that he is off some teams boards totally. I am hoping we can, and will, take him in the second. I think he would be a monster in our defense. He would give us that Sapp / Tommie Harris like presence.

Gettleman has never traded down in the 1st round. I think it's just his philosophy not to do it.

Yep, I've been hoping for this since the combine.

@nfldraftscout
I know everyone is saying otherwise, but I have a really hard time seeing Cleveland pass on Sam Darnold. Guess we'll know in 5.5 hours

@nfldraftscout
Hearing there are #Jets coaches making a late push for Josh Allen. Buckle up, folks.

@nfldraftscout
Adding onto this: Jeremy Bates is a big Josh Allen fan. He has a lot of influence in that draft room.

Crazy stuff. Dorsey is just messing with everyone and the Jets seem like a mess of an organization. Keep that shit in house!
