2018 NFL Mock Draft - Half Season Edition: Picks 11-20

Derick E. Hingle / USA TODAY Sports

Every month for the remainder of the 2017 season, theScore's Dane Belbeck and Mitch Sanderson will project the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft using the current standings to predict the order. Strength of schedule will be used as the first tiebreaker and theScore's weekly power rankings will be used as the second.

Picks
1-10 | 11-20 | 21-32

11. Cincinnati Bengals - Trey Adams, OT, Washington

The hulking tackle out of Washington tore his ACL earlier this season but should be fully recovered in time for the NFL campaign. Adams will immediately help shore up a Bengals line that's already given up 22 sacks this season. - Belbeck

12. Denver Broncos - Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

The Broncos need help offensively - there's no doubting that. With four potential starting quarterbacks in the fold, adding another won't help things, but injecting some youth into an aging receiver corps will. - Sanderson

13. Cleveland Browns (via Houston Texans) - Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU

After grabbing Rosen with the No. 1 pick, the Browns get him a massive wideout in Sutton. The 6-foot-4, 216-pounder is a touchdown machine with nine on the season already, and gives Cleveland a red-zone threat it's been sorely lacking. - Belbeck

14. Detroit Lions - Harold Landry, OLB/DE, Boston College

Ranked 24th in sacks midway through the season, the days of the terrifying Ndamukong Suh-led pass rush in Detroit seem like forever ago. Landry can be the versatile force that puts fear back in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks. - Sanderson

15. Washington Redskins - Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Saquon Barkley gets most of the hype, but Guice is just as dangerous out of the backfield. The LSU star will immediately give Washington excellent rushing depth alongside Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine. - Belbeck

16. Baltimore Ravens - Quenten Nelson, G, Notre Dame

Marshal Yanda is getting up in age and the Ravens' line looks to have lost the consistency that once defined it. Grabbing Nelson, a former teammate of left tackle Ronnie Stanley, can help get the team back to old-school Ravens football. - Sanderson

17. Dallas Cowboys - Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson

The Cowboys' defensive line has been a pleasant surprise in 2017, and adding Wilkins will only make the unit more formidable. The Clemson star has shown he's comfortable on the big stage - something that will work out very well in Dallas. - Belbeck

18. Miami Dolphins - Tarvarus McFadden, CB, FSU

The Dolphins' cornerbacks are among the youngest in the league after cutting overpaid veteran Byron Maxwell, but they can still get younger by keeping McFadden in the state of Florida. - Sanderson

19. Atlanta Falcons - Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama

While the Falcons' offense has struggled of late, the young defense remains strong and Payne will give the interior line some added pop. His versatility should be fun to watch in Dan Quinn and Marquand Manuel's defensive system. - Belbeck

20. Green Bay Packers - Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

Ward has followed in the footsteps of other outstanding defensive backs out of Ohio State. His ability to make plays in colder temperatures will be a welcome addition to the Packers' defense. - Sanderson
