Top NFL QB Prospects for 2018

[John from Riverside]

 

Dear Sam,

 

If you have a good year, COME OUT... Don't F%$# people who may be in DIRE need of your talent.

 

-Could come back to haunt you in a big way!

 

Sincerely,

-#34fan

so you WANT him going to the jets

[YoloinOhio]

They may have the deepest WR group ever. That's not even hyperbole. They may.

definitely. Will be hard to project production from a fantasy standpoint.with WRs, TEs and RBs.

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

....from the sounds of you folks that know collegiate ball QB's, this may be THE opportune year for Buffalo to be positioned with two 1sts......

[#34fan]

so you WANT him going to the jets

 

Funny you ask... I was just going over the Jets roster, and saw some things that made me suspicious of their "tanking" plans... The have a decent WR corp... TE isn't good, but that could change during TC...

 

Their D looks bad on paper, but COULD overachieve... I wouldn't be surprised if someone like the Chargers, Vikings, or Cardinals ended up with him.

With regards to QB's Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Luke Falk & Jake Browning.

 

Here are this year's PAC-12 games where they go head-to-head.

 

9/29 USC @ Washington State

 

10/28 UCLA @ Washington

 

11/18 UCLA @ USC

 

11/25 Washington State @ Washington

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

The order is based on the latest Super Bowl LII odds supplied by BookerMaker.eu, so direct your order rage in its direction.

 

1. Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold, QB, Southern California

Selecting DeShone Kizer in the second round this year shouldn’t stop the Browns from taking a first-round quarterback in 2018.

2. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

This is San Francisco’s current quarterback depth chart: Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, and C.J. Beathard. They’re in position to get a franchise quarterback in 2018.

3. New York Jets: Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming

Quarterbacks haven’t been the first three picks in the draft since 1999, but teams showed this year they’ll be aggressive at the position. The Jets can get the player many consider the next Carson Wentz.

4. Los Angeles Rams: Derwin James, S, Florida State

This draft has shown the value of safeties, and James’ talent is off the charts. As a freshman in 201, he had 91 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and five pass breakups. His talent level is extremely high.

5. Chicago Bears: Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB, Alabama

Chicago signed Prince Amukamara to just a one-year deal, and Kyle Fuller hasn’t lived up to his first-round draft placement.

6. Buffalo Bills: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson

Kyle Williams is entering the final year on his contract, and the longtime veteran could need replacing. Wilkins plays on a loaded defensive line but still managed 56 tackles, 13 for loss, and 3.5 sacks last season.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame

After getting Cam Robinson in the second round this year, the Jaguars could double up and finally get bookends. Maybe Blake Bortles can bounce back and get franchised.

8. Washington: Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Kirk Cousins might finally find his way out of Washington, and the team will need a replacement.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sam Hubbard, DE, Ohio State

The Bengals picked Jordan Willis in the third round, but Hubbard can be a star if he continues developing this season as expected. Added bonus: He’s from Cincinnati.

10. Detroit Lions: Arden Key, DE/OLB, LSU

Detroit didn’t address pass rusher early in the 2017 draft and could next year with the speedy Key.

11. Los Angeles Chargers: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville

Jackson is going to be the biggest wild card of draft prospects this college football season. He’s a work in progress in the pocket, but he could sit a year behind Philip Rivers and learn.

12. Miami Dolphins: Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame

Miami didn’t take an offensive lineman in the first two days of the draft, so the Dolphins could be after a player like Nelson next year. He’s a powerful, mauling guard who coaches will love.

13. New Orleans Saints: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State

Lewis considered entering the draft this year and could really assert himself as a top-20 pick with a good senior season.

14. Tennessee Titans: Josh Sweat, DE, Florida State

Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo are both getting up there in age, and Sweat can be a star. If he stays healthy, he might not be around this long in the first round whenever he goes pro.

15. Arizona Cardinals: Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama

This might be Larry Fitzgerald’s final season, and the Cardinals could target his replacement in the first round.

16. Baltimore Ravens: Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma

The mammoth Brown could be the right tackle of the future for Baltimore.

2017 NFL Draft live results

17. Minnesota Vikings: Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama

Hey look, the latest member of the Alabama defensive line factory. Payne started every game for Alabama last season and had 36 tackles, including 3.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks.

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bradley Chubb, DE, North Carolina State

At this time next year, we’ll be talking about Chubb the same way we did about Derek Barnett.

19. Philadelphia Eagles: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

The front-runner to be the draft’s top running back, Barkley gouged several teams last season rushing for nearly 1,500 yards and 18 touchdowns.

20. Indianapolis Colts: Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

With Leonard Fournette off to the NFL, Guice is poised for a superstar season that could see him contend for the Heisman Trophy.

21. Carolina Panthers: Porter Gustin, DE, Southern California

The Panthers didn’t take a pass rusher until the 77th overall pick, so they could be looking for one early in 2018.

22. New York Giants: Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State

Ezekiel Elliott’s replacement at Ohio State could be in for a monster redshirt sophomore season in Columbus.

23. Cleveland Browns (via Texans): Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State

The Browns didn’t get a cornerback in the first three rounds of the draft this year and could go into next year’s draft with that position near the top of the team’s needs.

24. Buffalo Bills (via Chiefs): Luke Falk, QB, Washington State

Surprise, yet another quarterback. The Bills could be after one in the first round in 2018 and just missed in the top 10 earlier in the mock draft.

25. Denver Broncos: Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama

T.J. Ward is entering the final year of his contract, and the Broncos could look to add youth in the secondary if he leaves.

26. Oakland Raiders: Malik Jefferson, LB, Texas

After ignoring linebacker the first two days of the draft, the Raiders would be happy to see Jefferson here. He’ll rate higher, but since he’s not a pass-rushing linebacker, his draft range might be in this area.

27. Atlanta Falcons: Byron Cowart, DT, Auburn

The Falcons may have gotten pass rusher Takk McKinley in the first round, but Dontari Poe is on just a one-year deal and Ra’Shede Hageman is in the final year of his contract. After a difficult first two years at Auburn, Cowart is moving to tackle this season and coaches and teammates are saying he’s a greatly improved player.

28. Green Bay Packers: Harold Landry, OLB, Boston College

The Packers didn’t target an edge rusher early in the draft, and Landry could be brought in to play the position in 2018. As a junior last season, he led the country with seven forced fumbles to go along with 16.5 sacks.

29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Da’Shawn Hand, DL, Alabama

With Jonathan Allen and Dalvin Tomlinson off to the NFL, Hand should see more playing time in 2017 and live up to his blue-chip billing. For Pittsburgh, Stephon Tuitt could be after a big contract soon, so Hand would act as depth or an eventual replacement.

30. Seattle Seahawks: Mitch Hyatt, OT, Clemson

Until the Seahawks really address offensive tackle, expect to see them sent to Seattle in mock drafts.

31. Dallas Cowboys: Quin Blanding, S, Virginia

The Cowboys got two cornerbacks this year but could still use a safety to go with Byron Jones. Blanding is a tackling machine who enters his senior season with 358 career tackles and six interceptions.

32. New England Patriots: Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh

There’s a reason the Patriots reportedly showed a lot of interest in eventual second-round pick Marcus Maye leading up to the draft. After they missed on him, they could find a safety next draft in Whitehead to eventually replace Patrick Chung.

I developed a bit of a man crush on Falk last colllege season. Getting him would make me happy.

I'd love to see Falk clean up his footwork when under pressure and challenge defenses over the top a bit more, but I like the foundation.

This wrong, KC will get the top pick

[#34fan]

FALK THAT!

Gonna take alot to sell me on Luke... First I'd have to study Riley Ferguson from Memphis... Even K-State's Jesse Ertz is intriguing...

 

Like I've said before, after Darnold, the dropoff is significant.

[Blokestradamus]

I've taken a look at Josh Rosen's 2015 games. Colour me intrigued so far.

 

Quite a few parallels between him and Kizer last year. Better than the stats would suggest, capable of doing everything both mentally and technically but the process speed hampers him (Rosen takes sacks as badly as Mahomes did). They're both stuck under coaches that I think are utterly idiotic.

 

I think Rosen's ceiling is ridiculously high. Like I felt with Kizer, I think he can hit that ceiling as well.

I see more upside with Rosen than Kizer...his delivery is more compact and he's a cleaner passer in general IMO.

 

It's the off-field stuff that worries me--I have no idea if he's a football-focused kid

I'm not sure (and don't think) that he is a football-focused kid at the moment. I think that confidence could actually work in our favor though. He's going to take some bumps early and be humbled. He may be better on the back end for it though. Peyton was a jackass in college and so was Manziel. I think that his on field tools are excellent though. He's "pro ready" from a talent standpoint.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as he buys a place with an indoor hot tub...

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

....why with all of this 2018 QB class optimism and the floated positives out there about the Peterman kid coupled with Dennison's ability to hopefully reshape TT, would you yap about spending $25-$30 mil a year on Cousins?.....obviously, I missed the memo..............

It's the off-field stuff that worries me--I have no idea if he's a football-focused kid

 

I'm going to avoid talking in absolutes about him for now. Still got a few games from last year to watch and the early reports on that shoulder sounded career-threatening.

 

I'm still not sure about the off-field stuff. There's been some crap out of UCLA on a few high-profile guys and I'm not convinced it's not coming from Jim Mora. My disdain for him and Brian Kelly knows no bounds
