2018 NFL Draft Preview
The 2018 NFL Draft will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will feature plenty of intrigue surrounding this year's talented NFL prospects. Thursday, April 26, will be the start of a draft loaded with big talent, including four quarterbacks projected to all be selected in the top half of the first round. Those quarterbacks are USC's Sam Darnold, UCLA's Josh Rosen, Wyoming's Josh Allen and Oklahoma's Heisman-winning Baker Mayfield. In addition to the QBs, prospects most likely to hear their name called early in the first round include running back Saquon Barkley, pass rusher Bradley Chubb, defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick, cornerback Denzel Ward, guard Quenton Nelson, wide receive Calvin Ridley and linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and Roquan Smith. The Browns own two of the top four selections (Nos. 1 and 4) in the 2018 NFL Draft, with the Giants and Colts picking second and third, respectively, and the Broncos rounding out the Top 5. With many teams searching for a franchise quarterback, look for movement at the top of the draft from teams looking for a signal-caller, such as the Jets (6), Dolphins (11), Cardinals (15) and Bills (21 and 22).
