Mark Sciubba's 2018 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds
Round 2
Mark Sciubba follow @MarkSciubbaDoe Last Updated: April 24, 2018.
Cleveland Browns: Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa 
- Browns fielded one of the worst secondaries in the NFL last year. Jackson is a first round talent who could slip to the second. No brainer.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
New York Giants: James Daniels, C/G, Iowa
- After getting the best playmaker in the draft in Saquan Barkely, the Giants should go best offensive lineman available with their next two picks. James Daniels gives you insurance behind Brett Jones and I think he's talented enough to beat out Jones for the center job in his rookie season.
- Other New York Giants Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Sony Michel, RB, Georgia
- Sony Michel is really good at football. He would be a first round pick if the NFL was still a run first league. He can be a plug and play guy for Cleveland who all of a sudden might have the best stable of RBs in the NFL.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Indianapolis Colts: Ronald Jones, RB, USC 
- I’m not too high on Ronald Jones, but the NFL is. The Colts lack of run game is pathetic. A guy like Rojo would be their new lead back. Maybe he can prove me wrong and succeed in this situation with someone as touted as Nelson blocking for him.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
-
Indianapolis Colts: Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn
- After Ryan Grigson cemented his place as the worst GM in history Colts need help all over. Davis is another borderline first round talent and at a huge position of need.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA 
- Lots of first round buzz is building for Miller. Which is why the Bucs will be jumping for joy to get him here in the early second.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Chicago Bears: Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville 
- Chicago needs corners. Alexander looked like a top ten pick at one point and should plug right in opposite of Fuller.
- Other Chicago Bears Selections
Denver Broncos: Braden Smith, G, Auburn
- Braden Smith is the forgotten man in a great guard class. He should come in and be a long time pro bowl type starter for an NFL team.
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
Oakland Raiders: Malik Jefferson, LB, Texas 
- The Raiders desperately need to fix the middle of their defense. An athletic middle linebacker is a good place to start.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Miami Dolphins: Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado 
- The Dolphins get a great player a good value here as they continue their roster overhaul. Oliver is the top player on the board.
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
New England Patriots: Donte Jackson, CB, LSU 
- The Patriots get a corner who can play outside and inside and do it well. Donte Jackson could get picked in the first round just like Josh Jackson, Carlton Davis, Jaire Alexander, and Isaiah Oliver who all fell to the second round in this mock.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Washington Redskins: Justin Reid, S, Stanford 
- The Redskins need to improve their defense as a whole. A great safety is a way to do that.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Green Bay Packers: Austin Corbett, G, Nevada 
- The Packers need to get this overhaul of their roster right or Mike McCarthy is gone and Aaron Rodgers prime is gone. They've let too many quality offensive lineman leave in free agency.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State 
- Cincinnati addresses their biggest need here and gets a plug and play tackle. Jamarco Jones is my second best offensive tackle in this draft even though I expect him to fall to day 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Arizona Cardinals: Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State 
- Arizona gets their franchise QB here in the second. Rudolph might take some time to adjust to the NFL but he will be worth the wait.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Taven Bryan, DL, Florida 
- Chargers need to capitalize on their edge rushing duo by adding a young DT with great potential. Taven Bryan's pass rushing and athleticism compliment Ingram and Bosa perfectly plus with Corey Liuget suspended for the first four games, they will need an immediate starter at defensive tackle.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
-
Indianapolis Colts: Arden Key, EDGE, LSU
- Key finally comes off the board. Maybe the biggest disappointment of the season. A guy that had first pick of the draft buzz had a pedestrian season and is very light for a pass rusher. Colts take a risk on the boom or bust prospect here.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Jessie Bates III, S, Wake Forest 
- Dallas gets a safety to complete the good young core they've built in the secondary. Now they just need to let them grow.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Detroit Lions: Mark Walton, RB, Miami FL 
- One of my favorite players in the draft. Walton and Blount would be a perfect RB Duo and help take pressure off of Matthew Stafford.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State 
- Like I stated before, Joe Flacco has been bad. He's had no real help. He hasn't has a Quality TE since Pitta. We fix that problem here.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Buffalo Bills: Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas 
- Ragnow would be way too good to pass up on here for the Bills. Ragnow is another guy who will start for a long time for someone.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Billy Price, C, Ohio State
- Billy Price is the best center in a loaded class. His injury will drop down some boards though so Chiefs get a steal here.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
Carolina Panthers: Marcus Allen, S, Penn State
- Panthers get a game changer in the secondary which has held the team back since losing Josh Norman two years ago. Adding a number one cornerback who can have an impact like Norman, and a free safety who can be a game changer are the top two priorities for Carolina's anemic secondary.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
-
Buffalo Bills: D.J. Chark, WR, LSU
- Bills need to add talent at the receiver position to support whoever their QB will be. Benjamin is the Bills best receiver at the moment and even he needs someone to push him for that number one spot. Chark can be that receiver for Buffalo.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
Tennessee Titans: Josh Sweat, EDGE, Florida State 
- Titans need to get a pass rush going. Josh Sweat is a boom or bust player. His skill and upside should still make him a day 2 pick.
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
Atlanta Falcons: Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M 
- Christian Kirk would be too good to pass up on here. Falcons should look to add another receiver to take attention off of Julio and Kirk can fill that role year one.
- Other Atlanta Falcons Selections
San Francisco 49ers: James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State
- Surrounding their new Franchise QB with weapons will be a huge priority for the 49ers. At one point Washington looked like a first round pick.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Lorenzo Carter, LB, Georgia
- Steelers need to add some speed to their front 7 to make up from what they lost with Shazier. Carter can play all 4 linebacker spots for the Steelers.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Jerome Baker, LB, Ohio State
- Jaguars get their new starting linebacker here in the underrated Baker. Baker can play outside linebacker on either side with his versatility to compliment an already strong core led by veterans Telvin Smith and Myles Jack.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Harrison Phillips, DL, Stanford
- Minnesota continues to make sure they win the line of scrimmage for years to come and gets a future starter in the second. Sheldon Richardson only signed a one-year deal so Phillips can start next to Linval Joseph in 2019 and beyond. If one of Minnesota's defensive tackles gets injured, Phillips will claim that starting spot and never look back.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
-
New England Patriots: Kyle Lauletta, QB, Richmond
- Patriots get their future QB with the small school prospect. Lauletta lit up the Senior Bowl and could fit into just about any offense. There will be a ton of pressure on whoever the Patriots pick at QB.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon
- Cleveland will be looking to add a tackle early in the draft and they get a good one here. Crosby should come in and win a starting job at one of the offensive tackle spots right away.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
