2018 NFL Draft: Final Position Rankings and Top 50 Players

NFL Draft week is finally upon us. We can finally get over the rumors flying around a million miles an hour and just do the damn thing. The Eagles obviously have the thirty second pick, because they won the Super Bowl, but don’t have many picks after that due to various trades. Luckily, the draft is very heavy in terms of mid round value and the Eagles could do well on the third day of the draft with some steals. While this draft is not as flashy as previous ones, besides the bevy of quarterbacks, there is a lot to like in terms of interior offensive linemen, running backs, linebackers and defensive backs. With a lot of those needs speaking directly to what the Eagles are looking for, the team could be in luck. Here is how the players shake out for me and what the top crop of the draft looks like. Disagree? Let me know in the comments!
