2018 NFL Mock Draft: Predictions for Updated 1st-Round Order

The national spotlight has shifted away from the NFL draft process for now, but teams are still working vigorously behind the scenes to properly grade each prospect.

As of Sunday, all 32 coaching staffs in the NFL are put together following the hiring of Frank Reich as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

How the Colts approach the draft with Reich in charge could alter the shape of the first round, especially if he makes a bold move with his first-ever selection as head coach.

Here's a look at how the first round could play out, along with a few scenarios that would change the course of the selections on April 26.

Will Reich's Hiring Change Colts' Draft Strategy?

After being spurned by Josh McDaniels, the Indianapolis Colts finally found their head coach in Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

The former quarterback, who most famously played for the Buffalo Bills, helped guide the Eagles to the Super Bowl with backup Nick Foles at the helm.

Now Reich has a chance to make his imprint on the Colts, and since he's an offensive mind, he could look to improve the offense before choosing one of the top defensive players in the talent pool.

The pick for the Colts should still be NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb, but Penn State running back Saquon Barkley wouldn't be a bad choice as Reich looks to stamp an identity on his team.

Then there's the most shocking option in which Reich selects a quarterback of his own to work with, a move that would wreak all sorts of havoc beneath the No. 3 pick as teams try to lock up their future franchise quarterbacks.

Of course, the Colts could always listen to offers from teams interested in the No. 3 pick and make a deal as well.

Regardless of what Indianapolis ends up doing, it sits in an advantageous position and should only benefit from whatever occurs.

Would Buffalo Consider Packaging Its Pair of 1st-Round Picks in a Trade?

The Buffalo Bills are in an interesting position with the No. 21 and No. 22 picks. 

The easy path for the Bills to take with their picks is to fill needs on the interior and possibly go after a quarterback in the later rounds.

However, the Bills are one of the few teams that would be capable of trading into the top 10 because of their pair of first-round picks.

If Buffalo believes one of the four top quarterback prospects fit their scheme, and Tyrod Taylor is officially not the answer, a trade could occur with a variety of teams.

The Colts seem like the obvious trade partner given their position at No. 3, which would guarantee Buffalo a shot at at least two of the quartet including Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield.

As we all know, anything can happen in the first round on the day of the draft, and an unlikely selection or two could occur, which could lead to a potential Bills trade into the bottom half of the top 10, a deal that may come at a cheaper price.

Buccaneers In Ideal Position to Take Impact Defender

Regardless of who gets drafted with the first six picks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should get to pick from a group of talented defenders at No. 7.

If the top of the first round leans toward offensive players, the Buccaneers could get fortunate and land Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick is a versatile defensive back who brings an extra element to any defense, as he's not afraid to creep up in the box and make an impact on the blitz.

If one of the six teams ahead of Tampa Bay swoops Fitzpatrick, is swooped up by one of the six teams ahead of it, Tampa Bay will get to choose from a large corps of linebackers led by Georgia's Roquan Smith, or it could go after a pass-rusher in Texas-San Antonio defensive end Marcus Davenport.

With a need for defensive backs, the Buccaneers could also go after Ohio State's Denzel Ward, or one of the other top corner prospects if Fitzpatrick is off the board.

However, if Fitzpatrick is available, the decision to select him is an easy one, as he's one of the few players in the draft who can make an impact in Week 1.
