Dorf’s 2018 NFL Mock Draft – All Seven Rounds

Round 1: Picks 9-16

Termaine Edmunds is the prototype linebacker of the future across the NFL. Even though the 49ers took a linebacker in round one last season they could still use the talent at the position.

I personally like Derwin James more than Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Raiders need help almost everywhere and will take the best player available.

I don’t agree with the talking heads in this industry that the Dolphins have a big need at QB. They will use their first selection to replace Ndamukong Suh with essentially the same player, for 1/5th the cost.

I don’t get the hype surrounding Baker Mayfield, but the Bills need a QB. He’s the best left at this spot of if the Bills don’t trade up.

After selecting Jonathan Allen early in last years draft, the Redskins still need a massive investment in the defensive line. Da’Ron Payne can play all across a 3-4 defensive line and will be an every down player for Washington from day one.

Denzel Ward is a top five talent in this draft class in my mind, but due to bigger positional needs of the teams ahead of them, the Packers will come away with a steal with the 14th overall selection.

The Arizona Cardinals need their Quarterback of the future, but the ones worthy of selection at this point are gone. They will address their next biggest offensive need by selecting the top Wide Receiver on the board.

Marcus Davenport is very raw, but has a very high ceiling as an edge rusher. The Ravens are very old at that position and will get younger and more talented by selecting Davenport at this spot.
