NFL Mock Draft 2018: Predictions for Top 10 Best Players

No. 9 Detroit Lions: Penn State RB Saquon Barkley


School: Penn State


Position: Running Back


Class: Junior


Outlook: Barkley is exactly the kind of running back the NFL covets. He's a versatile player who can be used in both the passing and running game. Last season, Barkley rushed for 1,496 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also had an additional 402 receiving yards and four touchdowns in the passing game. Barkley and LSU's Derrius Guice have the early lead in terms of 2018 running back prospects. The Lions have tried to plug a number of different running backs into their offense and have not had a lot of success. Barkley uses his quickness to get away from defenders but also has no problem going through tacklers. (Getty)
