2018 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Buffalo Bills pull off a blockbuster deal
Alabama. Calvin Ridley. 16. player. 26. . Wide Receiver
Despite signing Michael Crabtree and John Brown in free agency, Baltimore needs some help at receiver. Crabtree is not getting any younger and Brown is only on a one-year deal, so taking Ridley here is the move. Ridley runs good routes and has speed to get behind defenders, so he would be a good pairing with Joe Flacco’s arm and Crabtree’s abilities. Courtland Sutton and DJ Moore could also be targets here, but Ridley fits the Ravens deep ball mentality on offense. (Stephen)

17
VITA VEA
Defensive Tackle, Washington
The Chargers have built something special along their defensive line. Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram are elite at getting to the quarterback, while Denzel Perryman has demonstrated the ability to fly to the ball. Vita Vea will be the plug in the middle that the Chargers are missing. Vea will be a luxury pick at No. 17 overall and I believe it is needed.
Philip Rivers will make plays with whoever is with him on offense. Focusing on the defense will allow the organization to build a dominant force that will be around when Rivers retires. (Justin)

Mike Hughes. 18. player. 36. . Cornerback. UCF
The Seahawks are going through a rebuild on the fly. Once the famed Legion of Boom, the secondary in Seattle is progressively falling apart. Richard Sherman is now in San Fran, Jeremy Lane is gone, Earl Thomas is on the trading block and Kam Chancellor is coming off a neck injury. Hughes fits the mold of a Seattle corner as he is tough and a good tackler. He could lead the next wave of young, talented Seahawk defensive backs. (Stephen)
