Six Things You Shouldn’t Be Shocked To See In First Round Of 2018 NFL Draft

6.) Edge Rushers Will Get Overdrafted

This is a weak class for edge rushers. Elite edge rushers are now probably the most sought-after position on defense. Everyone wants the Von Miller, JJ Watt, Joey Bosa, or Khalil Mack that can disrupt an offensive line and wreak havoc on the QB. This draft is not going to have it so much. Bradley Chubb, Marcus Davenport, and Harold Landry are the only three first-round worthy talents, then it gets thin and the bust potential is pretty high among them. With the precedent on the position and lack of talent later on, I would not be surprised to see some of these names go earlier than expected as the need outweighs the best player available approach.
