2018 NFL Mock Draft: Mike Tanier's Final Predictions

The following 2018 NFL mock draft contains analysis, speculation, informed opinion, guesswork, a few stabs at humor, some obvious picks, some surprising picks, one or two pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey picks, risers, fallers, reaches, sleepers and trades.

Yes, trades! We peer into the crystal ball and make some teams wheel and deal in the first round. Because if you're going to guess, guess like there's no tomorrow. So stay on your toes, scrollers: Your favorite team may not be where you expect it to be!

This may be the toughest first round to predict in my 16 years of draft coverage.
