Tony Mario's 2018 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds
Round 7
Tony Mario Last Updated: April 25, 2018.
New England Patriots: Toby Weathersby, RT, LSU
- New England gets a right tackle for depth to push Tobin for a roster spot. Toby Weathersby may be worth a flyer here in the seventh round.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Cam Phillips, WR, Virginia Tech
- The Steelers add Cam Phillips for depth. One more receiving weapon for Big Ben this late in the draft wouldn't hurt.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Indianapolis Colts: Troy Apke, FS, Penn State
- Indianapolis gets another safety late in the draft. Troy Apke is fast and can be used on special teams too.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
Houston Texans: Foley Fatukasi, 3-4 RE, Connecticut
- Houston gets a backup in the 5-technique in case J.J. Watt gets injured again. Foley Fatukasi is a great late round pick here.
- Other Houston Texans Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Aikeem Coleman, RE, Idaho
- San Francisco gets a defensive end. Aikeem Coleman is a 6-3 275 lbs. Coleman had 14 tackles for a loss and 7 sacks in 2017. Chris thinks Coleman would be a good depth player here. I'll go one further and say he's the suprise player in the seventh round that ends up starting some point as a rookie and doing really well next to Solomon Thomas.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Chicago Bears: Genard Avery, 3-4 MLB, Memphis
- Chicago selects another 3-4 middle linebacker late in the draft. Genard Avery is a great bargain at this point in the seventh round.
- Other Chicago Bears Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Tre Flowers, SS, Oklahoma State
- Minnesota gets a strong safety for depth here. Tre Flowers can push Minnesota's current strong safety and Jayron Kearse the backup for a roster spot.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Riley Fertguson, QB, Memphis
- The Seahawks get Russell Wilson a backup here. Riley Ferguson was the last quarterback to throw an incompletion at the 2018 NFL Combine. He wll get drafted at some point on day 3 in the sixth or seventh round.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Miami Dolphins: Chucky Williams, FS, Louisville
- Miami gets a safety for depth. Chucky Williams can play nickel cornerback or free safety. Miami gets him as a backup here.
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
Oakland Raiders: Johnny Townsend, P, Florida
- The Oakland Raiders get a punter here since they are the only NFL team without a punter on their active roster. Johnny Townsend out of Florida is my top ranked punter.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Miami Dolphins: Eddy Pineiro, K, Florida
- Miami grabs another in state player to wrap up their draft. Florida kicker Eddy Pinheiro would fix the Dolphins woes at kicker.
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Christian Sam, MLB, Arizona State
- Christian Sam gives Jacksonville linebacker depth here. Sam seems like he's going to get picked at some point in the late rounds.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
Washington Redskins: Brian Allen, LG, Michigan State
- Washington moves Brian Allen back to the position he played at Michigan State when his older brother Jack Allen was there in left guard. Washington already drafted Mason Cole so in tis scenario Allen gets drafted as a left guard.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Green Bay Packers: Zachary Crabtree, RT, Oklahoma State
- The Packers take the best player on my board. The Packers are already loaded at offensive tackle so there is a chance Crabtree isn't on thier opening day roster.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Devron Davis, CB, UTSA
- Kansas City gets a second cornerback for depth here. Devron Davis is a nice addition here in the seventh round.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
Carolina Panthers: Brad Lunblade, C, Oklahoma State
- The Panthers draft a center for depth late in the draft. Brad Lunblade out of Oklahoma State gave Mason Rudolph a lot of time in the pocket.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
New York Jets: Maea Teuhema, RG, Southeastern Louisiana
- Teuhema played left guard and right guard at LSU before being kicked off campus, but made the switch to left tackle at Southeastern Louisiana. He projects as a guard in the NFL though and the Jets take him for depth here.
- Other New York Jets Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Heath Harding, CB, Miami Ohio
- Dallas grabs the top player on the board for depth. Heath Harding is still one of my favorite players to watch on tape even after his bad 2017 campaign.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Detroit Lions: Cole Reyes, SS, North Dakota
- Detroit gets a safety for depth. I really like Cole Reyes for depth here late in the seventh round.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Arizona Cardinals: Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama
- Arizona grabs a center here in the seventh round. Bradley Bozeman provides great depth at center behind A.Q. Shipley.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
Green Bay Packers: Justin Watson, WR, Penn
- Green Bay gets a wide receiver for depth here. Justin Watson was the only big target with a good 40-time. The thing is that 40-time came at Penn's Pro Day not the 2018 NFL Combine.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Rashard Fant, CB, Indiana
- The 49ers get a cornerback here at 240. Rashard Fant has much better tape then he gets credit for.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Washington Redskins: Auggie Sanchez, 3-4 MLB, South Florida
- The Redskins get my top player on the board to wrap up the seventh round. Auggie Sanchez has great tape and can be a serviceable depth player in the nations capital.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Carolina Panthers: Tremon Smith, CB, Central Arkansas
- Carolina gets a cornerback for depth here. Tremon Smith is one of these sleeper cornerbacks that isn't getting talked about enough.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Devin Abraham, SS, South Florida
- Kansas City takes a safety for depth here. Devin Abraham is the top safety on the board.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
Atlanta Falcons: Darius Williams, CB, UAB
- Atlanta adds a cornerback for depth here. Darius Williams is another under the radar cornerback that could be a sleeper to get picked in the seventh round.
- Other Atlanta Falcons Selections
New Orleans Saints: Marcus Epps, SS, Wyoming
- The Saints get a safety for depth here. Marcus Epps could be a late round pick and possibly the only prospect on Wyoming with a draftable grade besides their highly touted quarterback Josh Allen.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinton Flowers, QB, South Florida
- Pittsburgh brings in Quinton Flowers to compete with Landry Jones and Josh Dobbs for a roster spot. I'm not sure if any of those three can be Roethlisberger's successor, but in this scenario this is the best route for the Steelers to take.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: K.J. Malone, RT, LSU
- Jacksonville gets an offensive tackle depth. Karl Malone's son K.J. Malone may be an intriguing project player for the Jaguars to develop late here.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Cole Madison, RT, Washington State
- Seattle grabs a right tackle here with this pick. Competition for Ifedi at right tackle is needed.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Will Dissly, TE, Washington
- The Bengals get a tight end here. Will Dissly gets picked here. Dissly had the highest wonderlic score among tight ends with 30.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Devonte Boyd, WR, UNLV
- Seattle gets Devonte Boyd for depth here. I really believe he's a top 250 player in this draft despite the lack of exposure by most in the media.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Daniel Carlsson, K, Auburn
- Los Angeles got this compensation pick at 251 thanks to Manti Te'o signing with New Orleans. The Chargers bring in a kicker for competition. This team used five kickers last year.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Darren Carrington II, WR, Utah
- Cincinnati got this compensation pick at 252 thanks to Margus Hunt singing with Indianapolis. Darren Carrington has enough talent to beat out last years first round pick John Ross for a receiver spot.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Ito Smith, RB, Southern Mississippi
- Cincinnati got this compensation pick at 253 thanks to Karlos Dansby singing with Arizona. Ito Smith would be an awesome depth player for the Bengals to bring in.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Arizona Cardinals: James King, 3-4 LE, Shepherd
- Arizona got this compensation pick at 254 thanks to Alex Okafor signing with New Orleans. Arizona gets a 5-technique player for depth. The 6-2 304 lb James King can play 3-4 right end, 3-4 left end, or 4-3 defensive tackle with his versatility.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bruce Hector, DT, South Florida
- Tampa Bay got this compensation pick at 255 thanks to Bradley McDougald signing with Chicago. The Buccaneers lost both starting defensive tackle Chris Baker and backup defensive tackle Clinton McDonald. They still got Gerald McCoy, but nobody really next to McCoy that can step up. Bruce Hector a local who plays in Raymond James Stadium at South Florida is the pick here.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Atlanta Falcons: Tanner Lee, QB, Nebraska
- Atlanta got this compensation pick at 256 thanks to Tom Compton signing with Minnesota. Atlanta gets Matt Ryan's backup with this Mr. Irrelevant pick.
- Other Atlanta Falcons Selections
