Doug & Wolf’s 2018 NFL mock draft: Who goes in the top 15 picks?

Apr 19, 2018, 2:17 PM | Updated: 2:36 pm

It ain’t easy being an NFL general manager.

Putting together a big board and drafting the best player who’s the best fit for a team is painstaking work.

In the spirit of that, 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s Doug & Wolf got together for an impromptu power poll session, put on their GM caps and mocked the first 15 picks of the 2018 NFL Draft.

You can do the same in our On The Clock For Cash contest, but unlike our hosts, you have a chance to win $50,000 if you pick the first 15 players selected in the draft in the right order. If you need a little help — and trust Doug Franz, Ron Wolfley and Paul Calvisi — here’s what the Doug & Wolf crew selected on their top-15 mock drafts.
