****OFFICIAL 2018 Saccopoo NFL Mock Draft Thread****

Also, may as well help out kccrow. He PM'd me the first pick in case he couldn't be around to post it. I know he already made it, but this includes the rationale for his pick:

With the first selection of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select Sam Darnold, QB, USC.

6'3" 221 4.85 40-yard 26 1/2" Vertical 6.96 3-cone

When I think about a QB that can play in the AFC North and that can play in Todd Haley's offense, I think about a guy that has good vision, can push the ball down-field, can throw into tight windows, and can move in the pocket. Darnold definitely checks those boxes. There are some issues, particularly with Darnold carrying the ball at half-mast, which leads to fumbling and a delayed delivery. An NFL team will be able to clean that up rather quickly. All the positives for Darnold though, you can't fix those with other QBs. I think about accuracy, poise in the pocket, and keeping his eye's down-field. You also can't fix guys who have an injury history. After trading for Tyrod Taylor, the Browns have the ability to sit Darnold for a year and let him work on his craft.
