lichtie23 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The 2018 NFL Draft will be the 83rd annual meeting of NFL franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft will be held from April 26–28. It will be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The narrative of the 2018 draft is the Quarterback with a possible 4 going in the 1st round. Josh Rosen (UCLA), Josh Darnold (USC), Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) & Josh Allen (Wyoming) have all declared and there is a possibility that Louisville’s Lamar Jackson could also decide to declare before the January 15th deadline for underclassmen. Penn States Saquon Barkley is head and shoulders the best Running Back (and possibly best player) in this year’s draft. Other players to watch include Derwin James, S, Florida State Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama Mike McGlinchey, OL, Notre Dame The Cleveland Browns have the number 1 and number 4 pick. I can see them going Barkley at 1 and one of Darnold, Rosen, Allen or Mayfield at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Expect the Bears to go for a WR, quite probably the first one to go in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I presume players drafted have no options here? They are essentially commodities? If some absolutely gash bottom feeders sign you up, that's it?At least they must be able to negotiate contract length, remuneration etc?Or is all that set centrally too.

Manning and his father both said that he would not play for the Chargers so the Chargers picked him anyway, after making a deal with the Giants that a Trade for Manning for Rivers plus 2 draft picks. Elway told the Colts if he wasn't traded he would sign for I think the Yankees and play pro-Baseball instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lamar Jackson has declared. A year too early IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It looks to potentially a really strong draft class, but the potential for busts is very high, especially at QB. That said, there could be 3 or 4 teams who could absolutely pick up a franchise running back even fairly deep into the draft. I might also request the Friday off, I do enjoy the first round.

lichtie23 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Il just request a late start on the Friday I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I’ve booked the Friday off for the Draft. Might just watch the first round when I wake up on Friday. Nearly choked when we moved up a place and drafted Trubisky last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Lamar Jackson in the second round please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I'd take him at 6. He's a much better pocket passer than he's given credit for, he sees openings in the defense and is the most athletic QB I've ever seen.

Still very early but with his talent, he should be a first round pick. I'll be very angry if Josh Allen is picked ahead of him and/or in the first round.

Marshmallo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Jackson will be great fun, tough to project how he'll do given no team will let him do what he got away with in Louisville though. Too slight to run that much against NFL defences as well imo.Didn't realise Darnold had already declared, he's a clear bust I reckon.Baker Mayfield will be 2018's DeShaun Watson. Better athlete than he gets given credit for, big arm, good decision maker, self belief through the roof and, most importantly, plenty experience leading a huge programme in key games.Kerryon Johnson has declared as well I saw, he'll be a great take for anyone in the second round, which is where he's projected. Absolute tank and dat patient stutter step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think Jackson should wait another year. He needs more development plus I think he is guaranteed to be a 1st rounder in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
