The 2018 NFL regular season has concluded, so it’s time to briefly examine the state of each team’s skill positions for fantasy purposes with an eye towards next season and/or beyond. I will be reviewing each team in the reverse order of the final standings. Next up.. the Green Bay Packers.

From an Individual Defensive Player (IDP) perspective, Nasir Adderley’s a hard prospect to peg.. As we saw with Mathieu, Jackson and even Bates in 2018 (all of whom finished as Top 15 fantasy defensive backs in Fantasy Sharks Default IDP Scoring in 2018), deep safeties and “hybrid” types can make plenty of IDP hay.

Very fast foot speed to run away from defenders vertically. Marginal play speed when running routes over the middle due to his marginal quickness and lack of desire to make plays over the middle. Has a tendency to slow down even more through the traffic over the middle as he tries to avoid contact.

The general belief is that Mack Wilson is going to be a Day 2 pick — more likely than not a second-rounder. But there are those who think that Wilson might slip his way into the back end of the first round.

Both Pittsburgh and Oakland would be close to best-case scenarios IDP-wise—teams with a void at linebacker that could afford Terrill Hanks a path to significant snaps as a rookie. It was a similar opportunity—the chance to start from the get-go—that got Darius Leonard started last season.

The lead up to the NFL Draft can be filled with ups and downs—especially for first-round prospects. In 2019, there hasn’t been a player who has had more of a roller-coaster ride than Mississippi State edge-rusher, a 6’6″, 260-pound edge-rusher ...

Kyler Murray was a one year starter at Oklahoma after transferring from Texas A&M after his freshman season. Started 17-of-29 career games at the two schools without missing any time due to injuries... Has elite athleticism for the position and was arguably the best athlete on the field in every game in 2018.

The Raiders have been attracted to Haskins and Kyler Murray, but with Kyler Murray gone, they would have to go get Haskins. This pick could potentially change if the Giants trade up as they are apparently big on Haskins too.

As with most rookie IDPs, landing spot will play a huge part in Abram's value early in his career. How his new team plans to use him will be massively important. Will they imagine him as a full-time safety? A "hybrid" type? Does that team have a defensive coordinator savvy enough to play to his strengths while concealing his weaknesses?

The NFL Scouting Combine just wrapped up in Indianapolis recently where a lot of prospects helped, and some hurt, their draft stock. Also, the new league year starts this week along with free agency. So there is no better time for another Mock Draft.
