There's time for one final mock draft before the real 2018 NFL Draft on Thursday night.
Sure, we expect plenty of trading and surprise picks that will shake up the board. But given the limited accuracy of projections based on teams picking where they currently are, this mock draft is more about our predicting what they'll be thinking.
Once more with feeling, here are the results of SN's final mock draft.

NFL Mock Draft 2018 (final)
1. Cleveland Browns: Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
Allen vs. USC's Sam Darnold has become the question, and you have to credit John Dorsey and Hue Jackson for hiding their cards with no true consensus top quarterback. But if the Browns are looking for the kind of big-armed, pocket QB that fits Todd Haley's schemes best, that player is Allen. And with Tyrod Taylor, the Browns can have the patience to refine Allen's raw skills.
2. New York Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
Dave Gettleman will explore every trade option, given both the Browns and 49ers were able to move this pick in the past two drafts. But if he's looking for his gold-jacket type player who also fills a big need, he should have the Giants run to the podium for Barkley, a special all-around back.

3. New York Jets (from Colts): Sam Darnold, QB, USC
Remember when the Jets were looking like the worst team in the NFL going into 2017, and Darnold was locked in as a surefire top overall pick? No matter how much things have changed, they end up the same. It's a great fit because the Jets need the QB who checks the most boxes now. Darnold's ceiling might be a little lower than that of the other QBs in this class, but his arm, accuracy and athleticism form the closest thing to a polished product.
4. Cleveland Browns (from Texans): Bradley Chubb, DE, N.C. State
After the Browns select their QB for their near future, they can focus on getting more immediate impact for their defense with their second first-round pick. Chubb and last year's No. 1 overall selection Myles Garrett can form scary bookends rushing the passer.
5. Denver Broncos: Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
John Elway turned into Captain Obvious in saying the Broncos are listening to all offers to trade down. If they stay put, they will land the player who can help the organization best. Ward keeps sliding up the board to make him the best available player here, and Denver could use his services after splitting up with Aqib Talib.
6. Indianapolis Colts (from Jets): Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
Chris Ballard stays in state for Frank Reich's and Andrew Luck's offense, giving them the draft's most dominant offensive lineman. Indianapolis needs an athletic guard with some mauling ability to help keep improving its run-blocking. Nelson is also a smooth pass protector and will make a big difference from Day 1.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Derwin James, S, Florida State
The Bucs have a mild affinity for Seminoles players, but besides that, they've been missing a true playmaker at safety. James can stuff the stat sheet, filling a key void in coverage in the middle of the field while also providing an extra linebacker against the run.

8. Chicago Bears: Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech
Vic Fangio could use a hammer for the middle of a defense that has a pretty good three-man front, edge pass-rush upside and solid returning cornerbacks. Edmunds is explosive enough to fly all over the field with the natural ability to also get after the quarterback.
9. San Francisco 49ers: Roquan Smith, OLB, Georgia
John Lynch and defensive coordinator Robert Saleh should be worried about the future of Reuben Foster, their first-round pick from just a year ago who has run into massive off-field trouble. Foster was a key factor in turning around the run defense. Smith is a fine read-and-react linebacker with good range who can help outside and/or inside.
10. Oakland Raiders: Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
Jon Gruden and Reggie McKenzie should be ecstatic if everything develops for Fitzpatrick to fall into their laps. They need a little help at safety, at cornerback and in the nickel. Where Fitzpatrick fits best as a versatile prospect is hard to pinpoint, which makes him difficult for some teams to take early. But not for Oakland, which could use his natural leadership qualities, too.
11. Miami Dolphins: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
It has come full circle for the Dolphins to join the fun of pulling off a QB surprise. They've become more lukewarm on Ryan Tannehill and how far he can take them, especially coming off a major knee injury. Mayfield brings the moxie and winning energy Miami could use more of as it transitions offensively.
12. Buffalo Bills (from Bengals): Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
The Bills might think they need to trade up to get Rosen, either between the Browns and Jets or right after. But regardless of where they get him, Rosen's fearless gunslinging and bright personality would give the Bills something they've been missing in their pursuit of a longtime franchise QB.
13. Washington Redskins: Vita Vea, DT, Washington
The Redskins will be thrilled to get Vea into their defensive line rotation. He's the best player at his position in this draft and also has the high motor to please their coaches.
14. Green Bay Packers: Marcus Davenport, OLB, Texas-San Antonio
The Packers could think about cornerback here, but ultimately, the best-pass rusher not named Chubb makes sense to add another key weapon for new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. Davenport can maximize his freakish skill set in Green Bay's revamped 3-4.
15. Arizona Cardinals: D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland
The Cardinals might not force quarterback early and instead look a little later for their answer, perhaps Oklahoma's Mason Rudolph in Round 2. But they have a need at wide receiver with Larry Fitzgerald possibly entering his last season and losing both John Brown and Jaron Brown in free agency. Moore's explosiveness and big-play knack will allow him to edge Alabama's Calvin Ridley and SMU's Courtland Sutton for the honor of first receiver drafted.
NFL DRAFT BIG BOARD:
Final ranking of top 100 prospects
16. Baltimore Ravens: Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
"Wide receiver run!" Ozzie Newsome rolls back into the Crimson Tide and first-round receiver well for Ridley to help reshape the Ravens' passing game with free-agent addition Michael Crabtree. Ridley and Crabtree can be the next Amari Cooper (the good version) and Crabtree.
17. Los Angeles Chargers: Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama
The Chargers' defense can be awesome if it shores up some things in the middle to match what it has outside with Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram and Casey Hayward. Payne has Bosa-like burst on the inside, making up for his lack of ideal beef. He will make a ton of plays in the backfield.
18. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa
The Seahawks will think about offensive line but instead go after Richard Sherman's replacement in another big, rangy corner who fits their zone coverage concepts. Jackson has seen his stock rise to the point where he's firmly planted in the middle of the first round after Ward.
19. Dallas Cowboys: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
With Moore and Ridley gone, the Cowboys shouldn't hesitate to look a few miles away and take Sutton as their Dez Bryant replacement. He has the frame to finish in the red zone and the hands and leaping ability to help him make big plays downfield. In essence, it's Dallas getting an Alshon Jeffery-type of receiver for Dak Prescott.
20. Detroit Lions: Harold Landry, DE, Boston College
The Lions need to go defense in their first draft with Matt Patricia. Landry is the kind of versatile pass-rusher who would be coveted by Patricia's former team, the Patriots. Detroit needs more pop opposite Ziggy Ansah in a division that now has Kirk Cousins and Mitchell Trubisky on the rise behind Aaron Rodgers.
21. Cincinnati Bengals (from Bills): Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas
The Bengals will explore other interior offensive line prospects, but Ragnow is emerging as the next guy to grab once Nelson is gone. Cincinnati has a growing void at center as tackle became less pressing after the trade for Cordy Glenn. Ragnow can be a long-time anchor who can help both the passing and running games.
22. Buffalo Bills (from Chiefs): Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
Once the Bills get their quarterback, they can be a little more flexible. Based on the wide receivers flying off the board, defensive line makes sense over offensive line here. Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott got Star Lotulelei from the Panthers, and now they need their version of Kawaan Short. Hurst can be that kind of disruptive force.
23. New England Patriots (from Rams): Rashaan Evans, ILB, Alabama
The Patriots will start thinking about their immediate offensive tackle need and their future QB consideration, but ultimately, they can add to the offseason theme of reworking their defense. It doesn't hurt to go back to the place they got Dont'a Hightower in order to get stronger in the middle behind new nose tackle Danny Shelton. Evans can do it all and will produce as an active tackler from any spot on the second level.
24. Carolina Panthers: Will Hernandez, G, UTEP
Hernandez has had a late push up the draft board, and the Panthers could use his services after losing left guard Andrew Norwell in free agency. Cornerback and wide receiver will be considerations, too, but this is an easy pick in the event Moore, Ridley and Jackson are all gone.
25. Tennessee Titans: Leighton Vander Esch, ILB, Boise State
Vander Esch has the playing profile a lot like that of new Titans coach Mike Vrabel. Jon Robinson and the team will wait to find their pass rush and interior offensive line help later and go for the can't-miss, rangy tackler for Dean Pees, who should also love the fact that Vander Esch can stay on the field for all three downs.

26. Atlanta Falcons: Taven Bryan, DT, Florida
The Falcons have long been tied to defensive line help, and it's hard to see them not taking Bryan for Dan Quinn and Marquand Manuel. He could help rush the passer from different spots on their line. Bryan has the ceiling of Michael Bennett, strictly on-field speaking.
27. New Orleans Saints: Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State
The Saints did not create the reunion with Jimmy Graham in free agency, and so far, their offseason has been about immediate help to put them over the top one last time with Drew Brees as a Super Bowl contender. Goedert is an athletic pass-catcher, and New Orleans doesn't need to worry about the fact that he needs some blocking work.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
The Steelers throw their own curve ball here in part because, in our mock, their targets at linebacker are off the board. Their interest in Jackson as Ben Roethlisberger's successor isn't cursory. Although Jackson needs some refinement, he would be best off learning on a team with elite skill players at his developmental disposal. After the initial shock of the pick, there's a lot of logic behind it.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville
The Jaguars have Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye but lost ace nickel Aaron Colvin in free agency. Alexander is a well-rounded cover corner who can play outside in time, but he can help Jacksonville now by keeping them from having a void in the slot.
30. Minnesota Vikings: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
The Vikings have had some major Fighting Irish hits in recent years with Kyle Rudolph and Harrison Smith. McGlinchey has a varied value in the first round depending on whom you ask, but Minnesota is not as set on the offensive line as much as you think. McGlinchey could start right away at right tackle and allow the team to put Mike Remmers in a more comfortable position at guard.

31. New England Patriots: Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA
The Patriots get their tackle to replace Nate Solder in Miller, a massive player who also has smooth footwork for his size. Quarterback ends up being tabled by Bill Belichick, a luxury they have with plenty of pick power on Day 2.
32. Philadelphia Eagles: Derrius Guice, RB, LSU
The Eagles let LeGarrette Blount go in free agency and now can go for a younger, more explosive version of a finishing power back to keep their rushing attack as deep and dangerous as it was during their Super Bowl 52 run. Guice would be a nice get to close out the first round.
