2018 NFL Mock Draft: Trades spark action in top 10
By Tylor Walden
Pick by Cameron Parker
Courtland Sutton might be the best wide receiver in this draft when all is said and done. Jacksonville lost Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns opening a wide open door to address offense. Jaguars could’ve targeted tight end. Not a bad idea. Since Sutton fell to the Jaguars, it was time to pounce.
30. Kolton Miller – Minnesota Vikings

Pick by Ty Walden
The Vikings were looking to go guard in the first round. But the belief is that they can still find it without reaching. However, protecting Kirk Cousins will be important. So, they go ahead and draft a tackle that can protect from the edge rushers. If Kolton Miller can keep Cousins upright, this team can go far in 2018.
31. Josh Jackson – New England Patriots
Pick by Andrew Wade
New England’s pass defense got off to a rocky start early last year, and it ended even worse with the benching of Malcom Butler in the Super Bowl. Josh Jackson is a hard-working playmaker who can step in immediately in and start. He is most effective in off-man, but given some coaching, I believe he can play in a variety of schemes.
32. Justin Reid – Philadelphia Eagles
Pick by Sayre Bedinger
The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles close out the first round by picking up one of the draft’s most athletic safeties who can play in the box or roam on the back end. The Eagles need some more weapons for their secondary, players who can take advantage of their elite front seven. I think Reid contributes immediately.
