Who SHOULD be the #1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft? (Poll)

[Swagnificent]

This is not about who you think WILL be the #1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. But rather who you think SHOULD be the #1 pick. You can either go with the best player available theory or the team needs theory. I don't care. Just make sure to support your choice with some reasoning.

IMO there are only 3 players this year worth taking #1 overall in the NFL Draft: (1) Saquon Barkley, (2) Lamar Jackson, and (3) Josh Allen.

As much as I love Saquon Barkley, you can't take a RB #1 overall when there are 2 elite franchise caliber QBs available. And IMO Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are elite franchise caliber NFL QBs. Its close between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen for me. I believe Lamar Jackson will be the bigger difference-maker early on. His athleticism will be too much for the NFL next year. Josh Allen needs a little more time to develop but I believe he has the higher ceiling long term.

If the Cleveland Browns are smart, they'll take Josh Allen with the #1 overall pick this year. He's a true franchise QB with an extremely high ceiling. His skill set as a passer is similar to Dan Marino. However, unlike Marino, Allen is a top notch athlete with great mobility.

Just look at this throw:



Cleveland cannot pass on a talent like Josh Allen. He should be the #1 pick in the NFL Draft.

Where's Minkah Fitzpatrick and Derwin James?

All I know is that the isn't is NOT Josh Allen, who will be a bust yet play in the league as a backup until he's like 37 years old.

The way you feel about Lamar in your OP is pretty much how I feel about Fitzpatrick. Dude can play multiple positions and still get good results. Makes plays when the team most needs it.

Josh Allen and #1 pick don't belong in the same sentence let alone same paragraph. The kid is a 3rd Round talent the most. I'd take Mason Rudolph before I'd touch Allen.

Unbelievable how Rosen who's clearly the best QB and #1 pick in this draft but, no wants to take him due to his mouth. Any team that passes on him deserves to lose every game this season.

Outside of the QB's, Quenton Nelson will be the best player from this draft
