Mark Sciubba's 2018 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds
Round 5
Mark Sciubba follow @MarkSciubbaDoe Last Updated: April 24, 2018.
Green Bay Packers: Uchenna Nwosu, EDGE/LB, USC
- Green Bay would be estatic to get Nwosu here. He would be a perfect fit in Mike Pettineās 3-4 defense.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
New York Giants: Sam Jones, G, Arizona State
- Giants get another War Daddy to block for their new RB and Eli Manning. Sam Jones makes a nice addition at guard in the fifth round.
- Other New York Giants Selections
Indianapolis Colts: R.J. McIntosh, DL, Miami FL
- Indy continues to build up the trenches on both side of the ball with this pick. McIntosh gives the Colts a quality defensive tackle.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Mike White, QB, Western Kentucky
- Seattle is in the market for a backup QB. White could be a steal this late.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Washington Redskins: Jeff Holand, EDGE, Auburn
- The Redskins add Jeff Holland. He's a highly productive pass rusher who always finds a way to the QB.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Nick Gates, OT, Nebraska
- The 49ers get a potential starter or key backup here in Gates. John Theus was supposed to be Joe Staley's successor and that didn't work out. Maybe adding Nick Gates will.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Skai Moore, LB, South Carolina
- Skai Moore is the classic highly productive, more athletic than anyone thinks linebacker who goes late in the draft and ends up playing for a decade. Tampa Bay may have three quality starters, but if one gets injured, Moore will claim a starting spot and won't look back.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Chicago Bears: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Mississippi
- Bears add another weapon for Trubisky with Robertson. Robertson looks like he has the ability to be a playmaker year one in the NFL from watching his tape.
- Other Chicago Bears Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Christian Campbell, CB, Penn State
- The Seahawks grab a corner to compete for the starting spot opposite of Shaquille Griffin. The Legion Of Boom needs to be rebranded with Richard Sherman no longer in Seattle.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
New Orleans Saints: TeGray Scales, LB, Indiana
- The Saints add on to the front 7 that looked like a quality unit for the first time in a long time last season. Some have Scales going as early as the second round. I'm not that high on Scales, the point is he's a bargain at this point in the fifth round.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike McCray, LB, Michigan
- Steelers grab another linebacker that could step in and compete for the giant hole in the middle of the defense. Mike McCra is a plug and play linebacker.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Denver Broncos: Christian Sam, LB, Airzona State
- The Broncos get some key depth and special teams help here. Sam can be utilized as another inside linebacker for depth while providing help on special teams.
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
Cleveland Browns: Devron Davis, CB, UTSA
- Davis is one of the least talked about players in the draft for some reason. Luckily for the Browns they get a potential starting corner here in the little known UTSA prospect.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Auden Tate, WR, Florida State
- Auden Tate is perfect for the Bengals. He fits a mold of receiver they don't really have and can be a go to red zone threat if Eifert goes down again.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Arizona Caridnals: Jester Weah, WR, Pittsburgh
- Larry Fitzgerald lobbies to get a long fast Pitt receiver to Arizona to be his understudy. Weah is a bargain at this point and can learn a lot from the greatest receiver in Pitt's history as well as the greatest receiver in Cardinals history.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
Detroit Lions: Kentavius Street, EDGE, North Carolina State
- The Lions are gonna build that defensive line up for new head coach Matt Patricia. Street can play on the edge or inside on 3-4 plays for Detroit's hybrid defense.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
- Ravens get a steal here with the best returning specialist in the draft and a big okay receiving threat. Pettis is capable of pushing Free Agent signing John Brown for the slot receiver job.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama
- Anthony Lynn gets a big back to come in and plow defensive players over after Melvin Gordon tires them out. Bo Scarbrough provides the Chargers with a nice change of pace running back for depth behind Melvin Gordon.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Marcel Frazier, EDGE, Missouri
- Philadelphia already has three effective edges with Brandon Graham, Chris Long, and Derek Barnett. One more to replace Vinny Curry for depth is added here.
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
New York Jets: Ogbonnina Okoronkwo, EDGE, Oklahoma
- The Jets grab a quality player from a winning program as they continue their culture change. Now that New York has multiple edge rushers this pass rush should be ready to take off.
- Other New York Jets Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma
- Tyler Eifert is great when healthy, but Bengals can no longer count on that. Getting a quality backup Tight End is a good idea for them here in the 5th.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Oakland Raiders: Simmie Cobbs Jr., WR, Indiana
- The Raiders grab the wide receiver who terrorized their first round pick week 1. Go back and watch Cobbs destroy Denzel Ward on tape if you don't believe me.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Denver Broncos: Joseph Noteboom, OT, TCU
- Denver gets a tough hard working lineman to help bring some life to the run game. Depth behind Jared Veldheer at right tackle is needed.
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
Carolina Panthers: Tre'Quan Smith, WR, Central Florida
- Panthers have needed to do a better job of putting talent around Cam Newton for a while. Taking a shot on a WR at some point in this draft is a must.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
Tennessee Titans: Matthew Thomas, LB, Florida State
- Titans grab a ultra athletic linebacker who can play all around the front seven. Thomas provides depth behind LVE too if the medical concerns about Vander Esch turn out ot be true.
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
Washington Redskins: Nic Shimonek, QB, Texas Tech
- The Redskins get a possible QB of the future here late. Alex Smith signed a four year contract, but does anyone believe he plays all four years on that deal.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
New Orleans Saints: Kurt Benkert, QB, Virginia
- The Saints need to add a QB at some point. Kurt Benkert is the best QB available.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Zachary Crabtree, OT, Oklahoma State
- The Steelers have shown they can make tall long tackles work perfectly in their offense. They get another one here after losing Hubbard to the Browns.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Buffalo Bills: Aaron Evans, G/OT, Central Florida
- The Buffalo Bills lost so much in their offensive line. They have to add multiple offensive linemen in this draft.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Quadree Henderson, WR/RB, Pittsburgh
- Minnesota gets some depth at receiver, running back, and a return specialist here. The Vikings address three needs with one pick here.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
- Seattle grabs another quality prospect to throw his hat into the CB competition. Many consider Meeks to be the top cornerback on Stanford and have him going a lot higher than this.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Reginald McKenzie Jr., DL, Tennessee
- Philadelphia gets a defensive tackle for depth. Reginald McKenzie Jr. also known as Khalil McKenzie is the pick here.
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama
- The Bengals grab Bozeman who can come in and start at center if they need him to. Bengals get one of the better centers with Bozmean this late.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Ade Aruna, EDGE, Tulane
- When you watch Tulane on tape Ade Aruna jumps off it with his speed. Dallas gets him here an at worst gets a core special teams player.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Green Bay Packers: Daurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa
- Packers give Aaron Rodgers another weapon after releasing his favorite this off-season. Daurice Fountain was one of the stars from the 2018 East West Shrine Game.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Oakland Raiders: Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana
- Ian Thomas could end up being the best tight end in the draft. If he went 2nd or 3rd round that wouldn't shock me, so getting him here is a steal for the Raiders.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Green Bay Packers: Kemoko Turay, EDGE, Rutgers
- I've probably typed this 100 times over now but, Green Bay. Defense. Rebuild.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
