The NFL Draft is about as unpredictable as sports get. Last year, draft experts couldn’t even nail the first pick.
In our survey of 97 mock drafts ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft, the majority projected the Cleveland Browns would take Sam Darnold at No. 1 overall. Josh Allen got the second-most votes pairing him with the Browns. Instead, Baker Mayfield was the pick — something only three of the experts surveyed predicted would happen.
Still, there’s power and a little more accuracy that comes with numbers. Saquon Barkley to the Giants, Quenton Nelson to the Colts, Allen to the Bills, Leighton Vander Esch to the Cowboys, D.J. Moore to the Panthers, and Rashaan Evans to the Titans were all the most popular predictions before they became realities.
So stick around here to see the direction that experts are predicting each team will go in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Methodology
- This database will be updated consistently until draft day.
- Players selected less than eight percent of the time fall into the “others” category. That threshold may change as more mock drafts are added.
- Mock drafts that include trades are not included.
- All of the mock drafts used are listed at the bottom.
