Official 2018: NTNFL Mock Draft

And with the 16th Pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select:

VITA VEA, DT, WASHINGTON

STRENGTHS
NFL-worthy size with thick hips and powerful upper body. Can be very intimidating at point of attack. Able to overpower lighter guards and usually pummels centers when isolated on them. Has power to press blockers off of his frame and the hip rotation and flexibility to dislodge them. Also utilizes booming hump move that can topple blockers off their base as a pass rush counter. Able to grow roots and own his grass when pad level is right. Two-gap defender. Can punch, lock out, and locate the ball. Above average pursuit quickness for a big man. Able to shed blockers and range to down the line of scrimmage to squeeze running lanes and make tackles. Violent hands can clear hands from his frame or soften the blocker's edge when he's rushing the passer. Has serious bull-rush ability once he gains momentum early in rush. Still very raw with much more talent to unlock.


Bruh. I was literally about to pick Vea. :{
 
We need a lot :frown:

and Roquan and Tremaine been gone...would like some inside presence on that line to help Mack and Irvin on the edge.

Coulda waited and got ... my bad guys :smh:

I actually like this for both sides.

The Seattle Seahawks select:

Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa

Bottom Line
Long-armed ball-hawk who understands how to maximize his length to disrupt the catch and take it away. Jackson could be labeled a "one-year wonder", but 27 passes defensed in a single season isn't random. He's talented but inexperienced and he has coverage holes that could be exploited early in his career. His draft stock could hinge on his forty time, but he is armed with route anticipation, ball skills, and NFL length. It may take time, but the tools are there to be an early starter as a play-making, press cover corner. -Lance Zierlein
