2018 NFL Draft recap, pick-by-pick: NFC West

May 4, 2018 Neverthere Leave a comment

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals	Campbell (No. 1 pictured) was a big factor for the Nittany Lions on both special teams and at corner during 2017. The former high school safety brings an aggressiveness to the Cardinals secondary. Notable Pick: The choice of Edmonds could provide the Cardinals with a deadly one-two punch in the backfield. This would take pressure off of incumbent Sam Bradford. The team may have gotten one of the steals of the draft in the 6-foot-1, 192-pound Campbell.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (10)	Josh Rosen QB-6’4 226	UCLA	15 (1^st Round)	Rosen’s toughness complements elite anticipation. In order for him to show both, he’ll need to stay available.
2 (47)	Christian Kirk AP-5’11 200	Texas A&M	29 (2^nd Round)	DraftNasty’s top-ranked all-purpose player, Kirk averaged 19 yards per punt return in 2017. A year prior in 2016, he averaged 21.7 yds/PR with three TDs.
3 (97)	Mason Cole OC-6’4 307	Michigan	74 (3^rd Round)	Cole began his career at left tackle and ended it there (2017). In-between, he was a factor at the center spot.
4 (134)	Chase Edmonds RB-5’11 205	Fordham	120 (3^rd Round)	Edmonds- the Patriot League’s all-time leading rusher- was the best running back at the 2018 East-West Shrine game.
6 (182)	Christian Campbell CB-6’1 203	Penn State	82 (3^rd Round)	Campbell was dinged for being a one-year starter despite NFL starting traits (4.5 speed, 41 ½” VJ, 11’2” BJ, 4.18 20-yd SS).
7 (254)	Korey Cunningham OT-6’5 311	Cincinnati	335 (5^th Round)	Cunningham morphed into a starting left tackle in the AAC after putting on 90 pounds while in school. He maintained his athleticism despite the added weight (4.9 40-yd, 35 ½” VJ, 9’11” BJ).

Seattle Seahawks	Penny (No. 20 pictured) returned eight kicks for touchdowns during his career (one punt return TD). In addition, he eclipsed the 2,200-yard mark (2,248) as a rusher in 2017. Notable Pick: Despite getting drafted in the first round, Penny may still be undervalued. He can take the top off the defense as a kickoff returner, catch the ball and run in-between the tackles. His pass blocking will have to improve to get on the field.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (27)	Rashaad Penny RB/KR-5’11 220	San Diego St.	12 (1^st Round)	The three-time MWC Special Teams Player of the Year can affect a game in a number of ways. His experience under former NFL assistant Jeff Horton could ease his professional transition.
3 (79)	Rasheem Green DE-6’4 275	USC	67 (3^rd Round)	Green has the look of New England Patriots 2017 fourth-round pick Deatrich Wise. He can move up-and-down the defensive front as a mismatch player.
4 (120)	Will Dissly TE-6’4 256	Washington	460 (6^th Round)	Dissly may need more repetitions, but he has enough size to become an effective in-line blocker. The Academic All-Pac-12 selection impressed with his hand-eye coordination during the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
5 (141)	Shaquem Griffin LB-6’0 227	UCF	106 (3^rd Round)	The 2016 AAC Defensive Player of the Year and former safety actually looked decent changing directions in defensive back drills prior to the draft. The team will have a plan for his diverse skill-set.
5 (146)	Tre Flowers S-6’3 207	Oklahoma St.	262 (4^th Round)	The All-Big 12 selection can produce positive angles when breaking on routes that go towards the sidelines. His ability to cover ground gives him high special teams upside.
5 (149)	Michael Dickson P-6’2 208	Texas	271 (4^th Round)	His first step goes forward when receiving the snap and he can get balls to travel 70 yards in distance with hang time (70 yards, 4.75 hang, TCU ’17, downed at -10-yd L). He can control field position.
5 (168)	Jamarco Jones OT-6’4 299	Ohio State	326 (5^th Round)	Jones didn’t play with as much venom in 2017 as he had in 2016. He has enough pop to potentially get looks inside at guard.
6 (186)	Jacob Martin OLB/DE-6’2 236	Temple	382 (5th Round)	Martin –a second-team All-AAC selection- lined up at both end spots for the Owls. His reactionary speed (4.59) off the snap helped him produce 8 QB sacks and 11 TFLs in 2017. He has the look of former Seahawk Bruce Irvin (Raiders) when he came out of West Virginia.
7 (220)	Alex McGough QB-6’3 218	FIU	602 (7^th Round)	McGough’s precision was a big reason the team finished first in the nation in Red Zone offense.

San Francisco 49ers	Warner (No. 4 pictured) finished his career with seven interceptions (2 for TDs) while at BYU. Notable Pick: Warner was BYU’s field linebacker for much off his career but was also used off the edge on occasion. He began to overcome his angular build in 2017 with more force at the point of attack. He has a chance to increase the team’s speed in nickel situations and will be a special teams contributor from Day 1.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (9)	Mike McGlinchey OT-6’8 311	Notre Dame	4 (1^st Round)	Finds his spots and angles as both a run and pass blocker. Can bend to be 6-foot-8.
2 (44) Trade from Washington	Dante Pettis AP-6’0 186	Washington	113 (3^rd Round)	Multi-dimensional receiver who may have more to give as a slot option. Arguably the draft’s best return option.
3 (70)	Fred Warner LB-6’3 236	BYU	52 (2^nd Round)	He spent a lot of time in school matching slot WRs. Improved in the briar patch in 2017.
3 (95)	Tarvarius Moore DB-6’1 199	Southern Miss	81 (3^rd Round)	Moore has a unique combination of length and athleticism. Improved his play speed and recognition in 2017.
4 (128)	Kentavius Street DE-6’2 280	NC State	202 (4^th Round)	Street is a bully on the field with his combination of power and strength. He was drafted despite tearing his ACL in pre-draft workouts.
5 (142)	D.J. Reed CB-RET-5’9 188	Kansas State	123 (3^rd Round)	Reed offers major potential in either the punt or kickoff return game (2^nd nationally in both categories). His tenacity at the CB spot was evident vs. Charlotte (2017) in cross-field pursuit.
6 (184)	Marcell Harris S-6’1 208	Florida	601/7^th Round	Harris is yet another player the 49ers drafted that may not be available right away. He was on par with former Gator safeties Marcus Maye and Keanu Neal for a stretch in Gainesville.
7 (223)	Julian Taylor DT-6’4 295	Temple	N/A	Taylor put it all together as a senior with 10 tackles for losses but he did not post a sack. He will be a one-gap penetrator.
7 (240)	Richie James WR-5’10 183	MTSU	157 (3^rd Round)	Despite a disappointing senior year marred by injury, James still produced two 100-catch seasons in school (2015-16). He offers a quickness disposition supported with 4.48 speed.

Los Angeles Rams	Noteboom (No. 68 pictured) started at both left tackle and right tackle during his time at TCU. Notable Pick: Noteboom could eventually develop into a starter and has the ability to be groomed behind one of the NFL’s best in Andrew Whitworth. His 35 ½-inch arms increase his room for error.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
3 (89)	Joseph Noteboom OT-6’5 309	TCU	62 (2^nd Round)	Noteboom can immediately challenge for a starting spot if he gets his technique under control. Compares favorably to Washington OT Morgan Moses.
4 (111)	Brian Allen C-6’1 300	Michigan State	387 (5^th Round)	Allen’s size would make one believe he is a center-only prospect, but some of the former state champion wrestler’s best work in school came at the LG spot in 2016.
4 (135)	John Franklin-Myers DE-6’3 283	Stephen F. Austin	410 (5^th Round)	Franklin-Myers in strong in the upper body and plays with a heavy-handed nature. He controls the action vs. tight ends and has the look of a four-or-five-technique in Wade Phillips’ defenses.
5 (147)	Micah Kiser ILB-6’2 239	Virginia	96 (3^rd Round)	Kiser’s instincts are top-notch. He impresses with his key-and-diagnostic skills. The Walter Camp second-team All-American posted 145 tackles and 5 QB sacks as a senior. 19 QB sacks in his career.
5 (160)	Obo Okoronkwo OLB-6’1 253	Oklahoma	118 (3^rd Round)	Okoronkwo consistently affected the pocket for the Sooners in school. He plays fast and has some similarities to former Denver Broncos first-round pick Shane Ray. He’s longer and more refined as a pass rusher, however.
6 (176)	John Kelly RB-5’10 216	Tennessee	72 (3^rd Round)	Kelly’s late season off the field issues turned off potential suitors. On top of that, he slowed down the second half of 2017. Nevertheless, he has elite balance.
6 (192)	Jamil Demby RB-6’4 319	Maine	166 (4th Round)B	Demby looked the part at both the 2018 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and Senior Bowl. His lack of foot speed caused a precipitous drop, but he plays with significant urgency.
6 (195)	Sebastian Joseph DT-6’4 295	Rutgers	540 (6^th Round)	The 2018 College Gridiron Showcase MVP excelled in the classroom. Rutgers’ 2018 team MVP started at the three-technique and NG. Can crease the pocket vs. centers.
6 (205)	Trevon Young LB-6’4 258	Louisville	194 (4^th Round)	After overcoming a serious injury in 2015, Young began to return to form in 2017 (12.5 TFLs).
7 (231)	Travin Howard S/LB-6’1 213	TCU	424 (5^th Round)	Howard finished his career with 343 tackles, and 18 tackles for losses. He’s already been used quite a bit in coverage and he may rank as a position-flex player in Wade Phillips’ schemes.
7 (244)	Justin Lawler DE-6’4 262	SMU	318 (5^th Round)	Since Lawler’s insertion into the SMU lineup in 2015, he’s lined up in a number of positions. He has stood up as an overhang LB and an inside shade DE. A feisty run defender with a knack for blocking kicks (six blocks in school).
