<<< Iowa Hawkeyes 2018 NFL Draft Summary and Analysis >>>

[Harbinger273]

Starting a thread in anticipation of what should make up a fairly strong Hawkeye Football draft class for 2018. The long awaited and much discussed 2018 draft arrives tomorrow and most expect to see 2 Hawks drafted in the first round. KF will be in Dallas for the draft and how fitting is it that Josh Jackson will likely be drafted in the first round of the draft in his own back yard of Dallas Texas. After Daniels and Jackson come of the board I expect to see Jewell go in the 3rd to 4th round, Wadley in the 4th to 6th round and Welsh in the 5th to 7th. I Would love to see Boettger and Niemann get picked late, but if not they will just add to a strong UDFA class as well. BEST of luck to all Hawkeye Football players seeking their shot at the big time in the NFL this year! Can't wait to see my twitter feed light up with draft updates tomorrow!

Still pulling for a Hawkeye to go to the Packers.

Great post though. I imagine it'll be quiet here until Jackson gets drafted and then this thread will ignite.

I hope its Jackson to the Pack!

It would be awesome to see JJ and Daniels go at the end of the first round to great teams. Id take the Outlaw to KC to play behind Hitchens then alongside eachother.

 

[DaCDiggity]

I still feel Daniels is more of a sure bet to go in the 1st over jackson

 

[Bro D]

Would love for Daniels to slip to bears in 2nd rd

Rivals front page (Final Mock Draft) has JJ joining Des' on the Chargers at No. 17.

 

[TKingpin]

Jackson to the Chargers would shock me because the Chargers already have one of the best secondaries in the NFL. I have seen multiple mock drafts of Josh going to Seattle at the 18th pick. Sherman is gone and they need a replacement.

Bengals need a center at 21. Patriots could use a center at 23 or 31. By the 46th pick, all 3 of the upper tier centers will be picked up between Ragnow, Price and Daniels.

Josey’s Measurables just aren’t prototypical for the NFL, but we all know that by the time the first game rolls around, the Outlaw will be a starter (barring injury) in September. I am seeing only 1 mock draft having him in the 2nd round. Most of them show Josey in the 3rd or 4th. I have seen Akrum as early as the 3rd and as far back as the 6th. I have seen Welsh mostly between the 5th and 7th round.

 

[StormHawk42]

My Patriots need some help at LB. Hope they can get JJ with their extra second round pick. I don’t think he’ll last to the end of the 3rd round.

 

[Dick Rambone]

Bills need a Center as well .

 

[nu2u]

I haven't been able to conclusively verify yet but I if James Daniels is selected in the 1st Rd, he will become the second youngest 1sr Rd draftee in NFL history. Daniels is 20 years old. If he wins a starting spot at 20 that would be quite an accomplishment .....I'm pretty sure Iowa has had redshirt freshman in their program at that age.

"shock me" I get it. Bahahahahaha!

Wow was I off on the whole time frame of when the draft takes place. Of course its a primetime event that drags out over a couple days. My bad. Anyway. Lets see where the chips fall!

 

[YODAHAWKII]

Go hawks!

 

[WildTurk]

Draft has started. Hope my Colts get their shit together this draft

 

[MepoDawg#]

I’m going to die laughing if the Browns take Mayfield.

 

[WildTurk]

Its Mayfield!

 

[MepoDawg#]

WTF!!!! Losers. And the bad drafting continues for Cleveland.

 

[uh_yes]

Classic Browns

 

[nu2u]

I’m going to die laughing if the Browns take Mayfield.

Unbelievable. 1st team to record back to back 0-16 seasons?

 

[MepoDawg#]

Now that’s a good pick up for the NY Giants.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Classic Browns

Just amazing.

 

[WildTurk]

Colts up next. Protection for Andrew Luck or defense?

 

[unoHawkeye]

Love or hate Mayfield, think he’s going to be a star or bust, walk-on to first pick in the draft is a pretty cool story. Good for him.

Good on the Giants for taking Barkley though. Great pick

[biggreydogs]

How the heck did Notre Dame get 2 OL. They blow a$$

 

[unoHawkeye]

Fitzpatrick off the board and things are setting up perfectly for the Pack to get Jackson at 14. Love it

 

[unoHawkeye]

And the Packers trade back to the 27th pick -___-

 

[DaCDiggity]

And the Packers trade back to the 27th pick -___-

Still in play for Jackson dude

 

[unoHawkeye]

Still in play for Jackson dude

I hope you’re right, but think he probably goes before 27. Having Derwin James still on the board helps

 

[biggreydogs]

Pack up

 

[biggreydogs]

No josh

 

[unoHawkeye]

Bummer. Still like the pick

Edit: and still got a first rounder in next year’s draft which is cool too

 

[Hawktagonapus]

They blew it

 

[biggreydogs]

Wow Ragnow over Daniels

 

[biggreydogs]

Now price wtf

 

[brokenarrow73]

It would be awesome to see JJ and Daniels go at the end of the first round to great teams. Id take the Outlaw to KC to play behind Hitchens then alongside eachother.

I'm tired of the Hawkeyes going to teams I don't like like the Packers and Lions I would just love to see a Hawkeye in a Bear uniform for once

 

[chodehawk]

We're seeing a lot of non-super bowl contenders screwing the pooch, here.

And that's why they aren't Super Bowl contenders.

 

[StormHawk42]

Wtf was James Daniels wearing? Lol
