The 2018 NFL Draft has an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback position and that’s where our Mock Draft is going to start off because at the end of things, quarterbacks rule the draft order when the clock starts ticking.
The interior defensive linemen group is the deepest it has been in years, it’s another year of great depth at the tight end position and this year’s off the ball linebackers are all pushing to get into the first round with guys like Tremaine Edmunds, Rashaan Evans and Roquan Smith.
While there’s a better group of offensive tackles this draft season, the best lineman in the draft is going to be a guard in Notre Dame’s Quenton Nelson and while this isn’t the best corner class of all time, there’s definitely great depth available for teams in need of a corner this year.
