Neal Cavuto on Trump

Is Fox News finally coming to their senses?  Or are they just sensing the inevitable end to the Donald Trump Presidency and wanting to save some credibility before its too late?  Either way, well done Mr. Cavuto.

TPSG 2018 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

The NFL Draft is on April 26-28.  That's a week from today!  Seems like a great time to publish a mock!
  1. Cleveland Browns - Sam Darnold - QB - USC 
  2. New York Giants - Saquon Barkley - RB - Penn State ***
  3. New York Jets - Josh Rosen - QB - UCLA 
  4. Cleveland Browns - Bradley Chubb - DE - North Carolina State
  5. Denver Broncos - Baker Mayfield - QB - Oklahoma 
  6. Indianapolis Colts - Quenton Nelson - OG - Notre Dame ***
  7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Derwin James - DB - Florida State
  8. Chicago Bears - Tremaine Edmunds - LB - Virginia Tech
  9. San Francisco 49ers - Roquan Smith - LB - Georgia 
  10. Oakland Raiders - Denzel Ward - CB - Ohio State
  11. Miami Dolphins - Josh Allen - QB - Wyoming 
  12. Buffalo Bills - Lamar Jackson - QB - Louisville 
  13. Washington Redskins - Vita Vea - DT - Washington 
  14. Green Bay Packers - Minkah Fitzpatrick - DB - Alabama 
  15. Arizona Cardinals - Calvin Ridley - WR - Alabama 
  16. Baltimore Ravens - Mike McGlinchey - OT - Notre Dame
  17. Los Angeles Chargers - Leighton Vander Esch - LB - Boise State
  18. Seattle Seahawks - Isaiah Wynn - OG - Georgia
  19. Dallas Cowboys - D.J. Moore - WR - Maryland 
  20. Detroit Lions - Marcus Davenport - DE - UTSA 
  21. Cincinnati Bengals - James Daniels - C - Iowa
  22. Buffalo Bills - Rashaan Evans - LB - Alabama
  23. New England Patriots - Harold Landry - DE - Boston College 
  24. Carolina Panthers - Justin Reid - DB - Stanford  
  25. Tennessee Titans - Christian Kirk - WR - Texas A&M
  26. Atlanta Falcons - Da'Ron Payne - DT - Alabama 
  27. New Orleans Saints - Hayden Hurst - TE - South Carolina 
  28. Pittsburgh Steelers - Mason Rudolph - QB - Oklahoma State
  29. Jacksonville Jaguars - Connor Williams - OT - Texas 
  30. Minnesota Vikings - Taven Bryan - DT - Florida
  31. New England Patriots - Kolton Miller - OT - UCLA
  32. Philadelphia Eagles - Jaire Alexander - CB - Louisville 
I'm not entirely sure how the top 10 will shake out.   I suspect that there may very well be QB's taken with the first 4 picks, I'm guessing there'd be a few trades to make that happen though.  The Giants would be wise to shop their pick as would the Browns (the number 4 pick, not the number 1 pick) and I could see the Broncos, Bills, Dolphins and Cardinals all moving up to get into position to draft a QB.

The Cardinals have been bringing in QB's to visit, I think if any of the top 5 QB falls to 15 they will pounce, I could see them trading up into the 5-10 area too to get one of them. I doubt that they would be willing to give up enough to move into the top 4 though.  If none of the top 5 QB's are available, I could see them trading down as they have lots of needs.  Otherwise, a WR makes sense, as does a CB or an offensive lineman.

The Vikings are drafting much later than usual.  The consensus seems to be that they will select an offensive lineman in round one.  I'm not sure I'm buying that though, I'm sensing they may feel that with all the depth in offensive lineman in this draft they can find OL help in rounds 2-3.  If that's true, I could see them look at DT, CB or TE

*** = Correct Prediction
Actual Round One results here.
