2018 NFL Draft Big Board: Matt Miller's Best Remaining Players After Day 1
Matt Miller@nfldraftscoutNFL Draft Lead WriterApril 27, 20182018 NFL Draft Big Board: Matt Miller's Best Remaining Players After Day 1

Baker Mayfield, Saquon Barkley, Sam Darnold, Denzel Ward, Bradley Chubb and Quenton Nelson, along with 26 others, heard their names called in the 2018 NFL draft from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday night.
Day 2 packs a punch of depth, potential stars and sleepers alike.
Harold Landry of Boston College, Josh Jackson and James Daniels of Iowa, and Isaiah Oliver of Colorado stand atop the Big Board as we enter Rounds 2 and 3. Day 1 may get all the flash, but these rounds are vital for contending teams.
The Colts have three selections in the next 17 picks, and the Browns have three picks in the next 32 selections. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, have three selections in the next 24 picks.
We can also expect to see trades aplenty as teams jockey to snag coveted players.
Top 50 Overall Players

Boston College's Harold Landry has slipped into Round 2 along with Iowa's Josh Jackson and James Daniels. LSU's Derrius Guice is arguably the "sexiest" player available, while wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Christian Kirk shouldn't last much longer.
The 2018 draft might be underway, but there are players with game-changing potential still on the board. Our numbers in the top 50 are Matt's top players still available.
15. Harold Landry EDGE Boston College
17. Josh Jackson CB Iowa

Quarterbacks

Mason Rudolph was one of the most productive QBs in college football over the last three years and is the top remaining signal-caller available. With several teams still needing a future quarterback, he should hear his name called early on Day 2.
The same could go for the likes of Luke Falk and Kyle Lauletta. Falk has the big-school pedigree, while Lauletta is someone who has the chops to star.
6. Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
7. Luke Falk, Washington State
8. Kyle Lauletta, Richmond
9. Mike White, Western Kentucky
10. Kurt Benkert, Virginia
11. Riley Ferguson, Memphis

The fullback position is a dying breed. Will any FBs get drafted? We think so, but not many.
1. Dimitri Flowers, Oklahoma
2. Nick Bawden, San Diego State
3. Donnie Ernsberger, Western Michigan
4. Daythan Davis, Southern Miss
5. Garrett Dickerson, Northwestern
Wide Receivers

The 2018 wide receiver class was never well-received, but with only two players off the board after Day 1, we could see some steals now in Day 2. Courtland Sutton has the makings of a No. 1 guy, but he needs to overcome a few issues, primarily separating from defenders.
Christian Kirk, D.J. Chark and James Washington all possess game-changing ability. Expect them all to hear their names called on Day 2.
2. Courtland Sutton, SMU
3. Christian Kirk, Texas A&M
5. D.J. Chark, LSU
6. James Washington, Oklahoma State
7. Deon Cain, Clemson

52. Justin Watson, Pennsylvania
53. Steven Dunbar, Houston
54. Austin Proehl, North Carolina
Tight Ends

Hayden Hurst was the only tight end to find a home on Day 1...that's good news for the rest of the class.
Day 2 should be heavy on the guys who can block and catch. Mike Gesicki, Dallas Goedert and Mark Andrews should hear their names called early Friday night. Each possesses the talent to be a difference-maker.
1. Mike Gesicki, Penn State
2. Dallas Goedert, South Dakota State
4. Mark Andrews, Oklahoma
5. Ian Thomas, Indiana
6. Dalton Schultz, Stanford
7. Chris Herndon, Miami

19. David Wells, San Diego State
20. Damon Gibson, Moorhead
21. Andrew Vollert, Weber State
22. Blake Mack, Arkansas State
23. DeAndre Goolsby, Florida
Offensive Tackles

With the draft's top tackle still on the board in Connor Williams, one has to wonder if teams view him as a guard. Beyond that, there are several prospects with LT potential but no guarantees.
This is a group with a lot of upside and questions.
1. Connor Williams, Texas
4. Jamarco Jones, Ohio State
5. Tyrell Crosby, Oregon
6. Geron Christian, Louisville
7. Brian O'Neill, Pittsburgh
8. Martinas Rankin, Mississippi State

26. Rick Leonard, Florida State
27. Rod Taylor, Ole Miss
28. Aaron Evans, Central Florida
29. Austin Golson, Auburn
30. Jamar McGloster, Syracuse
Guards

This is one of the best interior linemen classes in quite a while. Expect a few of these names to fly off the board early and be referred to as "steals" down the road.
3. Will Hernandez, UTEP
4. Austin Corbett, Nevada
5. Braden Smith, Auburn
6. Wyatt Teller, Virginia Tech
7. Jaryd Jones-Smith, Pittsburgh

23. Cory Helms, South Carolina
24. Maea Teuhema, SE Louisiana
25. Tyrone Crowder, Clemson
Centers

Interior linemen don't usually overtake the draft, but that is the case this year. The top two guards are off the board, as are two of the top three centers.
James Daniels is a versatile fixture on the line, Mason Cole comes from an O-line factory and Scott Quessenberry has experience blocking for arguably the draft's best QB.
Expect this group to hear its name called early on Day 2.
2. James Daniels, Iowa
4. Mason Cole, Michigan
5. Scott Quessenberry, UCLA
6. William Clapp, LSU
7. Brian Allen, Michigan State
8. Bradley Bozeman, Alabama

12. Jake Bennett, Colorado State
13. Austin Kuhnert, North Dakota State
14. Jacob Ohnesorge, South Dakota State
Defensive Linemen

Maurice Hurst is a first-round talent who fell to Day 2 for medical reasons. He could be a steal in Round 2.
Players like Harrison Phillips, Tim Settle and Rasheem Green should be next off the board as teams look to bolster the trenches for 2018.
Expect this group to have many names called Friday.
4. Maurice Hurst, Michigan
5. Harrison Phillips, Stanford
6. Tim Settle, Virginia Tech
8. Nathan Shepherd, Fort Hays State
7. Rasheem Green, USC
9. Derrick Nnadi, Florida State

Linebackers

Malik Jefferson is a potential game-changer still available in Round 2. He's not the only one, though, as there are plenty of other talented linebackers still on the board.
Jerome Baker, Darius Leonard and Josey Jewell all have the potential to be selected early Friday as well.
And don't forget about Shaquem Griffin, either.

Cornerbacks

After only three cornerbacks were taken in the first round, this position has arguably the most Day 2 talent available. Expect Josh Jackson, Isaiah Oliver and Donte Jackson to be among the first DBs to hear their names called Friday.
This is a group filled with talent.
2. Josh Jackson, Iowa
4. Isaiah Oliver, Colorado
6. Carlton Davis, Auburn

Safeties

Safeties in today's NFL are asked to do a lot.
Ronnie Harrison is the best remaining player, but Justin Reid, Kyzir White and Jessie Bates could all hear their names called before him.
The safeties are anyone's guess, but know that this group isn't lacking talent.
