Official 2018 NFL Draft Thread (April 26th, 2018)

The Dion Jordan comparisons are scary close but I don't think Jordan was a bust because he couldn't play I think Dolphins couldn't use him right and he kept getting suspended. He went to Seattle and had 4 sacks in 5 games before getting injured. I think Seattle will be the team that takes Key too. Dave Aranda and O has been spending the offseason with Pete Carrol a lot and I think Seattle will take a LsU player or two this year. Key speed off the edge is unreal he's truly a top 5 talent in the draft, he's goin to have to answer questions in the combine but if he does well with that I see him goin top 20. Seattle at 18 most likely.

Here's how I rank LSU players right now

1. Arden Key
2. Derrius Guice
3.DJ Chark
4. Donte Jackson
5 Will Clapp
6 Kevin Tolliver
7 Darrel Williams
8. Toby weatherby
9. Greg Gilmore
10. Christian Lacatoure
11. Frank Herron

I'm prolly higher on Darrel Williams than others but I think people need to watch tape dude can play in the NFL he doesn't wow you with speed but he's faster than you think and he does everything well

Wussup with Arden tho..

did he not go as hard this season to save himself or what?...That nikka looked really some timey... If he kept that switch on, he a certified killer..

He took sometime off during fall practice for "personal issues" (weed), then When he came back in had surgery right before the season started which was weird. Then he had to get back to game shape during the season. He was at 265 and looked no where near as fast. While all that was goin on he dealt with nagging injures. It was a disaster year when you look at the expectation goin into the season.

Who do yall see going to the combine surprising people and shooting up the ranks? Who do you see dropping?

I'm interested in Leighton Vander Esch of Boise St and Darius Leonard of South Carolina State. I think Vander Esch could sneak into the first with a good showing
Taven Bryan as well

 

[STAN JONES]

all year they been saying we're gonna get a 3rd round pick for losing Ricky Wagner and we end up getting a 6th

this some bullshyt

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

he's going to be a steal for somebody. tackling machine

 

[STAN JONES]

getting compensatory picks isnt necessarily a good thing

you have to let good players walk in order to get them

 

[PortCityProphet]

We never get compensatory picks smh

weren't we sposed to get one for somebody this year?

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

weren't we sposed to get one for somebody this year?

No it just feels like we should but most of our draft pick prior to this year were so bad they prolly didn't make it till their final year or got traded like Akeem Hicks

2018 NFL Draft has a chance to be one of the best in NFL history. So much talent at almost every position.

QB, RB, and LB are especially loaded. Also the top-end talent is ELITE.

Lotta superstars for the next 5-10 years in the NFL are gonna come out of this draft.

 

[South Paw]

we only avoided swag hot takes for so long

Peep Brady in the comments heated

How's that a hot take? This class is LOADED.

There are 4 Franchise QBs: Sam Darnold (USC), Josh Allen (Wyoming), Josh Rosen (UCLA), Lamar Jackson (Louisville).

5 All-Pro/Pro-Bowl RBs: Saquon Barkley (Penn St.), Rashaad Penny (San Diego St.), Ronald Jones II (USC), John Kelly (Tennessee), Mark Walton (Miami).

6 All-Pro/Pro-Bowl WRs: Antonio Callaway (Florida), Equanimeous St. Brown (Notre Dame), Anthony Miller (Memphis), Michael Gallup (Colorado St.), DJ Moore (Maryland), Deon Cain (Clemson).

5 All-Pro/Pro-Bowl OL/DL: G Quenton Nelson (Notre Dame), G Isaiah Wynn (Georgia), DT Vita Vea (Washington), DT Da'Ron Payne (Alabama), Harrison Phillips (Stanford)

5 All-Pro/Pro-Bowl DE/LB: DE Marcus Davenport (UTSA), DE Arden Key (LSU), DE Bradley Chubb (NC State), LB Leighton Vander Esch (Boise St.), Darius Leonard (South Carolina St.)

5 All-Pro/Pro-Bowl DBs: S Derwin James (Florida St.), S Justin Reid (Stanford), CB/S Rashaan Gaulden (Tennessee), CB/S Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama), CB Tavarus McFadden (Florida St.)

Not many drafts produce this much elite talent. 30 guys with All-Pro or Pro-Bowl potential is INSANE.

The 2017 and 2018 NFL Drafts will go down as two of the best drafts in NFL history and will define the NFL for the next 8 years.

Thanks to all the talent coming into the NFL this year and last year, the NFL will become watchable once again in 2018.

NFL has suffered from the talent drain the last few years.
