Patriots Go With Isaiah Wynn At No. 23 Overall

The New England Patriots selected Georgia offensive guard Isaiah Wynn at No. 23 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He's an offensive guard, but he has the potential to play left tackle in the NFL. He was a stud in the Senior Bowl and his pass protection in college was spectacular. He's also tough, as […]

Titans Select Rashaan Evans In First Round

The Tennessee Titans selected Alabama linebacker Rashaan Evans at No. 22 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Linebacker was a big need for the Titans, and Evans grew up as a defensive end.

Bengals Pick Billy Price At 21st Overall

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Ohio State center Billy Price at No. 21 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Price will stay in state. It was a big area of need for the Bengals, and Price can play both center and guard, although it is probably a bit of a reach. Cincy was a weak overall […]

Lions Draft Frank Ragnow At No. 20

The Detroit Lions selected Arkansas center Frank Ragnow at No. 20 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Ragnow is a hole-filler and will definitely make life easier on quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Cowboys Select Leighton Vander Esch At No. 19 Overall

The Dallas Cowboys selected Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Vander Esch brings speed and athleticism to a Cowboys defense that was sorely lacking it. He also played basketball in his youth and had a 40-inch vertical at the combine. He'll bring size, length, […]

Packers Make Trade To Select Jaire Alexander

The Green Bay Packers traded up to select Louisville cornerback Jaire Alexander at No. 18 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He plays with an edge on an island on the outside and is very fast. Alexander loves the big stage and steps up in big games. Green Bay's pass defense has really fallen apart […]

Chargers Go With Derwin James At No. 17 Overall

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Florida State safety Derwin James with the No. 17 pick of the 2018 NFL draft. James was certainly the best player left on the draft board, and he will immediately upgrade LA's secondary. He's extremely versatile and has great instincts. He can also play up in the running game and […]

Bills Trade Up To Select Tremaine Edmunds At No. 16

The Buffalo Bills traded up to select Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds at No. 16 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He has a rare combination of size and speed for a linebacker, so he's certainly a specimen. He also has nice versatility for his size, and he can rush the passer or play in […]

Raiders Draft Kolton Miller At No. 15 Overall

The Oakland Raiders selected UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller at No. 15 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He's a freakish athlete at 6-foot-9 and has great feet as a left tackle.

Saints Trade Up And Take Marcus Davenport At No. 14

The New Orleans Saints traded up to select Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport at No. 14 overall in the 2018 NFL draft.

Redskins Take Da'Ron Payne At No. 13 Overall

The Washington Redskins selected Alabama defensive tackle Da'Ron Payne at No. 13 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Payne is a disruptive force on the defensive line and is really athletic. He can get into the backfield with ease and quickness as a hole-filler. He should start immediately on Washington's D-line. Payne didn't have a […]

Buccaneers Select Vita Vea At No. 12 Overall

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Washington defensive tackle Vita Vea at No. 12 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Vea will combine with Gerald McCoy on the defensive line in Tampa to help seriously upgrade their pass rush and run defense. Vea has tremendous speed and power on the line and is able to shoot […]

Dolphins Go With Minkah Fitzpatrick At No. 11

The Miami Dolphins selected Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick at No. 11 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Fitzpatrick is very versatile in the secondary and has a very high football IQ.

Cardinals Trade Up And Take Josh Rosen At No. 10

The Arizona Cardinals traded up to select UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen at No. 10 overall in the 2018 NFL draft.

49ers Take Mike McGlinchey Ninth Overall

The San Francisco 49ers selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey ninth overall in the 2018 NFL draft.

Bears Draft Roquan Smith Eighth Overall

The Chicago Bears selected Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith with the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Smith is a highly skilled player that is extremely versatile in the middle of the defense. He's a skilled blitzer as well and has excellent awareness in the passing game as well. He should step in right […]

Bills Trade Up And Take Josh Allen At Seventh Overall

The Buffalo Bills traded up to select Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen at seventh overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Allen is probably the biggest project quarterback in this year's draft, but he could be starting immediately in Buffalo, as A.J. McCarron is at the top of their current depth chart. Expect both Allen and McCarron […]

Colts Go With Quenton Nelson Sixth Overall

The Indianapolis Colts selected Notre Dame offensive guard Quenton Nelson with the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Nelson will certainly help Indy's ground game, and more importantly will help Andrew Luck stay upright if he's able to come back from his shoulder injury this season.

Broncos Select Bradley Chubb Fifth Overall

The Denver Broncos selected North Carolina State defensive end Bradley Chubb with the fifth overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft. Chubb may be the second most talented overall player in this year's draft class. He's a beast off the end and can also defend the run excellently. He'll pair nicely with Von Miller rushing […]

Browns Take Denzel Ward Fourth Overall

The Cleveland Browns selected Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward with the fourth overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft. The Browns definitely needed to shore up their secondary. Ward can both cover deep and defend the run with great skill.

Jets Go With Sam Darnold At Third Overall

The New York Jets selected USC quarterback Sam Darnold with the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. The Jets were definitely going to go with a signal caller after trading up to third overall.

Giants Draft Saquon Barkley Second Overall

The New York Giants selected Penn State running back Saquon Barkley second overall in the 2018 NFL draft. The Giants weren't about to let Barkley get past them at No. 2. With Eli Manning aging and declining rapidly, the G-Men want to upgrade their backfield to make it easier on him. Barkley is arguably the […]

Browns Select Baker Mayfield First Overall

The Cleveland Browns selected Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft. It was expected all along that the Browns would choose a franchise quarterback with the first overall pick, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise. Mayfield has height and off-field questions, but his intangibles on the […]

Jose Abreu Still Out With Flu

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (flu) remains out of the lineup Thursday against Royals starter Jacob Junis due to the flu.

Buccaneers Re-Sign Charles Sims

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing running back Charles Sims to a one-year deal Thursday. Sims ran just 21 times for 95 yards and no touchdowns in 2017, but he also added 35 receptions for 249 yards and a score. He's merely running back depth behind Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber in Tampa, and the […]

Dolphins Make It Clear That Ryan Tannehill Is Their Starter

Even though the Miami Dolphins haven't ruled out trading up in the first round to take a quarterback on Thursday, they have made it clear that quarterback Ryan Tannehill is their starter for the 2018 season. Tannehill missed all of 2017 with a knee injury he suffered late in 2016. He had a career year […]

Greg Olsen Signs Two-Year Extension

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen signed a two-year extension worth $8.55 million on Thursday, according to a source. The deal has a max value of $10.05 million, which could make him the highest paid tight end in the league. A broken foot limited Olsen to a career-low seven games last season, and he wasn't […]
