Todd McShay delivers his final NFL mock draft of the 2018 year before the first round begins. How do you think it will pan out?

The 2018 NFL draft is slowly approaching and pundits are beginning to finalize their mock drafts. It’s an annual exercise that keeps us busy and talkative during a slow offseason. But with Thursday night approaching, the excitement is beginning to build.

Among the draft elites of Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper, ESPN’s Todd McShay is still very well respected around the league and media world. The 41-year old works side-by-side with Kiper providing top NFL draft coverage for ESPN.

It’s come that time where McShay has released his final mock draft and here’s a look at the first round picks for all 32 teams

  1. Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold QB, USC
  2. New York Giants: Saquon Barkley RB, Penn State
  3. New York Jets: Baker Mayfield QB, Oklahoma
  4. Cleveland Browns: Bradley Chubb DE, NC State
  5. Buffalo Bills (Trade with Denver Broncos): Josh Allen QB, Wyoming
  6. Indianapolis Colts: Quenton Nelson OG, Notre Dame
  7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Derwin James S, Florida State
  8. Chicago Bears: Roquan Smith ILB, Georgia
  9. San Francisco 49ers: Minkah Fitzpatrick S, Alabama
  10. Arizona Cardinals (Trade with Oakland Raiders): Josh Rosen QB, UCLA
  11. Miami Dolphins: Tremaine Edmunds LB, Virginia Tech
  12. Denver Broncos (Trade with Buffalo Bills): Denzel Ward CB, Ohio State
  13. Washington Redskins: Vita Vea DT, Washington
  14. Green Bay Packers: Jaire Alexander CB, Louisville
  15. Oakland Raiders (Trade with Arizona Cardinals): Mike McGlinchey OT, Notre Dame
  16. Baltimore Ravens: Calvin Ridley WR, Alabama
  17. Los Angeles Chargers: Da’Ron Payne DL, Alabama
  18. Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Davenport DE, UTSA
  19. Dallas Cowboys: D.J. Moore WR, Maryland
  20. Detroit Lions: Rashaan Evans ILB, Alabama
  21. Cincinnati Bengals: James Daniels C, Iowa
  22. Buffalo Bills: Isaiah Wynn OT, Georgia
  23. New England Patriots: Lamar Jackson QB, Louisville
  24. Carolina Panthers: Will Hernandez OG, UTEP
  25. Tennessee Titans: Harold Landry OLB, Boston College
  26. Atlanta Falcons: Taven Bryan DT, Florida
  27. New Orleans Saints: Hayden Hurst TE, South Carolina
  28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Hughes CB, UCF
  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Courtland Sutton WR, SMU
  30. Minnesota Vikings: Frank Ragnow C/G, Arkansas
  31. New England Patriots: Kolton Miller OT, UCLA
  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Sony Michel RB, Georgia

The drama over the No. 1 overall pick in Cleveland is coming down to the wire and leaving everyone guessing exactly what John Dorsey and the Browns will do. McShay seems to be in consensus with most draft pundits that the Bills will make a move into the top 10 picks to select a quarterback. It will be interesting to see if that costs both of their first rounds picks in the process.
