2018 NFL mock draft: Damien mock 2.0 with trades

It’s draft week. It’s been some time since I put out my first and only mock draft and with the draft now approaching, it’s time for my second and final first round NFL mock draft.

I heard someone say recently they probably never overthink anything so much as they do a mock draft. And oh how true that statement can be. Especially with this draft. It’s part of the reason I put out just two first round mock drafts this year.

That being said, here is what I came to. Commence tearing it to shreds and telling me how there ‘no way (player X) will fall that far’ etc etc.
