2018 NFL Mock Draft: Fictional Character Edition

2018 NFL Mock Draft: Fictional Character Edition

It's NFL Mock Draft season and hardworking NFL Draft analysts are working their tails off breaking down film and grading out prospects for their next mock draft. I'm no draft analyst, but I do watch a lot of football movies and TV shows. Where would the best movie and TV football players head to in this year's NFL Draft?

[divider]2018 NFL DRAFT:
Draft Home | Compare Draft Prospects | Prospect Rankings
Compare NFL Teams | Compare NFL Players[divider]

Here we send out the best the big (and small) screen has to offer to NFL homes. 

There are a few players on this list who are fictionalized versions of real athletes, but let's be serious — Friday Night Lights and Remember the Titans were loose adaptations, so we'll let it slide. 

Now, on to the draft! (If teams don't have a first-round pick, their first pick of the draft is mocked at the end).

[divider]

1. Cleveland Browns
Vince Howard, QB
Friday Night Lights (TV)

Arguably the fictional football character with the highest upside, Howard could be the QB who breaks the mold in Cleveland. The Browns can ease him into the system with Tyrod Taylor as the starter and let him continue to grow as a player.

Plus, Eric Taylor has a new job like every year anyway, who's to say he won't end up as Cleveland's QB coach in the future?

[divider]

2. New York Giants
Bobby Boucher, DE
The Waterboy

Would The Waterboy be able to survive in New York City? I don't know, but put this dude on the field, point him at the quarterback, and say "go."

[divider]

3. New York Jets
Willie Beaman, QB
Any Given Sunday

Willie Beaman was made for the spotlight. 

[divider]

4. Cleveland Browns
Earl Megget, RB
The Longest Yard (2005)

The Browns already grabbed their quarterback, now they add the best running back on the board in Earl Megget. 

[divider]

5. Denver Broncos
Julius Campbell, DE
Remember the Titans

Imagine lining this guy up opposite Von Miller.

[divider]

6. Indianapolis Colts
Alvin Mack, LB
The Program

The Colts have plenty of holes to fill, and they grab one of the best defenders in the draft.

[divider]

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Brian "Smash" Williams
Friday Night Lights (TV)

He might be a little undersized, but you can't fake heart.

[divider]

8. Chicago Bears
Charles Jefferson, DE
Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Mess with his car and see what happens.

[divider]

9. San Francisco 49ers
​​Deacon Moss, WR
The Longest Yard (2005)

Rejoice, Jimmy Garoppolo, help is on the way.

[divider]

10. Oakland Raiders
Danny Bateman, LB
The Replacements

He might need some fine tuning, but this guy's a freak. 

[divider]

11. Miami Dolphins
Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass, QB
Remember the Titans

Spotted: Sunshine in his natural habitat.

[divider]

12. Buffalo Bills
Joe Kane, QB
The Program

The Bills need an arm. Joe Kane has a good one.

[divider]

13. Washington Redskins
Ivory Christian, DT
Friday Night Lights (Movie)

Soft-spoken until the moment calls for it, Christian brings the pain from the defensive line.

[divider]

14. Green Bay Packers
Petey Jones, CB
Remember the Titans

The converted running back gives Green Bay's depleted secondary a boost.

[divider]

15. Arizona Cardinals
Shane Falco, QB
The Replacements

The Cardinals grabbing an old quarterback and trying to revive his career? Sounds familiar.

[divider]

16. Baltimore Ravens
Ricky Jarrett, WR
Ballers

Show him the love, Baltimore.

[divider]

17. Los Angeles Chargers
Luther "Shark" Lavay
Any Given Sunday

This defense needs some "Shark."

[divider]

18. Seattle Seahawks
Spike Hammersmith, S/LB
Little Giants

You just know the Seahawks will turn this machine into a big-hitting defensive back/linebacker hybrid.

[divider]

19. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Tinker, DT/OT
Friday Night Lights (TV)

I mean, it just makes sense. Plus, he's eager to lend a hand and help fix a fence.

[divider]

20. Detroit Lions
Andre Krimm, DT
Necessary Roughness

The Lions could use some comic relief. Enter Sinbad.

[divider]

21. Cincinnati Bengals
Billy Bob, OT
Varsity Blues

Maybe Andy Dalton just needs some offensive line help. Hope they have a good team doctor, too.

[divider]

22. Buffalo Bills
Greg Jenko, WR
22 Jump Street

The Bills grabbed a QB already, now they get some size and speed on the outside. 

[divider]

23. New England Patriots
Becky "Icebox" O'Shea, S/LB
Little Giants

Bill Belichick would figure out how to get the most out of the Icebox.

[divider]

24. Carolina Panthers
Rod Tidwell, WR
Jerry McGuire

Cam Newton needs a target. Rod Tidwell just needs you to show him the money.

[divider]

25. Tennessee Titans
Thad Castle, LB
Blue Mountain State

He's a little eccentric (OK, he's crazy), but the Titans could use another 'backer.

[divider]

26. Atlanta Falcons
Louie Lastik, OG
Remember the Titans

Keeping Matt Ryan on his feet is priority No. 1, and Lastik is enormous.

[divider]

27. New Orleans Saints
Brian Murphy, TE
The Replacements

It doesn't matter he's deaf, Brian Murphy with Drew Brees would be a match made in The Good Place.

[divider]

28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Joey Battle, LB
The Longest Yard (2005)

Do you think they'll let him have the number "X" in the NFL, too?

[divider]

29. Jacksonville Jaguars
Cheeseburger Eddie, TE/WR
The Longest Yard (2005)

I honestly have no idea if this guy can play football. But he's definitely going to help Blake Bortles perfect the dad-bod look. 

[divider]

30. Minnesota Vikings
Jumbo Fumiko, OT
The Replacements

The Vikings need more beef on the offensive line, and this former Sumo wrestler brings it.

[divider]

31. New England Patriots
Luke Cafferty, S/LB
Friday Night Lights (TV)

He's not the best or biggest athlete, but the Patriots have made this work in the past.

[divider]

32. Philadelphia Eagles
Charlie Tweeder, WR
Varsity Blues

The champs add some help on the outside.

[divider]

Kansas City Chiefs (First Pick: 2.54)
Darnell Jefferson, RB
The Program

Kansas City traded away their first round pick to grab a QB last season, but they get a steal with their first pick this year. Though it's not really a position of need, Jefferson could pair with Kareem Hunt to create a formidable backfield for years to come.

[divider]

Houston Texans (First Pick: 3.68)
Tim Riggins, FB
Friday Night Lights (TV)

Texas Forever.

[divider]

Los Angeles Rams (First Pick: 3.87)
Switowski, DL
The Longest Yard (2005)

The Rams finally get to draft in the third round, and they beef up their defensive line with Switowski. Hopefully their equipment is a little bit higher quality than what "Longest Yard" prisoners had to work with.
