Re-grading the 2018 NFl Draft (4 years later)

---

Being the first overall pick Mayfield had high expectations. While he had a few solid games, the Browns have decided to move on from Mayfield, and his future in the NFL is in doubt. 

One of the most hyped prospects in NFL Draft history, Barkley has been plagued with injuries throughout his career, and has ultimately underperformed.  

Darnold never played like a top 3 NFL Draft pick and has struggled on multiple teams. 

Being one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, Ward was rewarded by the Browns with the largest contract for a cornerback in the NFL. 

Chubb has been a nearly dominant edge rusher, but his knee injuries have held him back from being truly elite. 

Nelson is one of the best, if not the best, offensive lineman in the NFL right now. He has elevated the play of all Colts quarterbacks and running backs. 

Debatably the best pick in this whole draft, Allen has blossomed into a true star, and is an elite NFL quarterback. 

A dominate middle linebacker, Smith has become a feared defender throughout the league. The sky is the limit for this Chicago Bears linebacker. 

McGlinchey has been an underrated, yet essential piece to the 49ers recent success. 

Rosen has completely flopped in the NFL. While he was a promising prospect coming out of UCLA, a lack of opportunity in the NFL hurt his development. 

One of the best safeties in the NFL, Fitzpatrick was a true steal for the Dolphins. Unfortunately, the Dolphins traded away Fitzpatrick before he truly broke out on the Steelers. 

While Vea does not get recognition on a very talented Buccaneers roster, his dominance cannot be understated.  

The Commanders selected a solid defender, someone who will not dominate games but will help your team. 

It took Davenport sone time to finally become a solid defender, but in the 2021 season he sacked the quarterback 9 times, a very solid number. 

One of the most underrated players in the NFL, Miller deserves to be in the discussion of elite offensive lineman. 

A very consistent player, Edmunds has been one of the leaders of the dominant Bills defense for a few years. 

When James plays, he is one of the best safeties in the NFL. Unfortunately, he has been plagued with injuries throughout his career. 

While he missed most of the 2021 season with a shoulder injury, Alexander was a truly lockdown cornerback in the 2020 season. He will be one of the faces of the NFL for years to come. 

While Vander Esch had a strong rookie season, he has not been able to fully develop. Esch has become a solid, but not elite defender. 

Ragnow has become a solid offensive lineman throughout his NFL career but has yet to truly excel. 

Price has played for 2 teams and has yet to truly succeed on either team. 

Evans has turned into a solid NFL middle linebacker. 

Wynn missed a whole season with an injury, and under the coaching of Belichick, he has become a solid offensive lineman. 

Without strong quarterback play Moore has been able to excel as the top wide receiver in Carolina. 

Hurst has turned into a solid, but not exceptional tight end. He has bounced around a few teams and is still trying to find his role. 

While he took a leave of absence last season, he has still been a dominant NFL wide receiver throughout his NFL career. 

Penny has been plagued with injuries and has been a backup throughout his career. 

Edmunds has become a solid, yet not exceptional safety throughout his career. 

Bryan never found his fitting in the NFL and has bounced around a few teams so far. 

Bryan never found his fitting in the NFL and has bounced around a few teams so far. 

Michel played a key role in the Patriots Super Bowl win but was unable to replicate his success until this season, where he played another key role in the Rams Super Bowl Win. 

Debatably the best player in this whole draft, Jackson has proved all his doubters wrong, becoming a true dual threat quarterback. With an MVP to his name, Jackson is in the conversation for best quarterbacks in the NFL.
