CBSSports Projects 8 NC State Players Drafted in 7-round Mock Draft

CBSSports just dropped a monster 7-Round 2018 NFL Mock Draft with the real draft coming next week. They have 8 NC State players getting drafted. The most Wolfpack players that have ever been drafted in a single year is 6, which has been done twice (2012 & 2006).

1st Round, 5th Pick – Bradley Chubb to the Broncos

With four QBs off the board, the Broncos have a decision to make: Bradley Chubb or Saquon Barkley? I’ve mocked Barkley to them in the past, but ultimately the pull of pairing Chubb with Von Miller may be too much to go in another direction. Shaquil Barrett’s a free agent after 2018, and Shane Ray’s option shouldn’t be picked up. Chubb also gives the team a premier pass-rusher on the off chance Miller becomes too expensive to keep down the road. But for however long Chubb and Miller play together, they should be a dynamic pass-rushing duo.

3rd round, 84th pick – Will Richardson to the Chargers (“Richardson can compete to start at right tackle, where the team needs an upgrade”)

4th round, 108th pick – Tony Adams to the Giants (“In the fourth round, the Giants pick up an interior lineman who can battle for a starting spot with a strong showing in camp”)

4th round, 119th pick – Nyheim Hines to the Chargers (“Hines is a scatback who could be lethal in small doses”)

4th round, 126th pick – BJ Hill to the Falcons

4th round, 132nd pick – Jaylen Samuels to the Eagles (“Samuels is an intriguing chess piece for Doug Pederson to move around the formation“)

6th round, 201st pick – Justin Jones to the Giants

6th round, 203rd pick – Kentavius Street to the Jaguars (“worthy of an IR stash”)
