2018 NFL Draft Guide: 2018 Draft Impact

As OTA’s and mini-camps get underway, the 2018 NFL Draft seems like it took place ages ago. All the pomp and circumstance of who’s taking who and when is now a distant memory as we focus our efforts on each team’s current personnel. But while everyone continues to look ahead, we believe that it’s important to examine how each team drafted at the time as it gives us a much clearer understanding of what each of the coaches and general managers believed to be their team’s strengths and weaknesses.

The Rookie Report will break down the top players drafted individually, but here we will look at the round-by round direction each team took, why they made the picks they made and whether or not they were actually able to fill their holes properly.

We’ll start with Dom Murtha’s first-round pick-by-pick analysis and from there we’ll examine each subsequent round. We will update the status of key selections regularly as they work their way towards joining their team’s 53-man roster.
