	Regardless of position what player not now expected to go in the 1st round is your darkhorse for 2018? Take one or even two if you like. No cover all bases multiple picks allowed.

	For me this year it will be Sony Michel RB Georgia. I may add one more after combine/pro days. I would put WR Kirk as well, but he is in the 1st round according to some mocks.

	Gip-I defined darkhorse as anyone not now (currently) rated in most of the mocks as a 1st rounder. 
</p>

<p>
	Sometimes scouts get it right and by draft time they rise right into it. That can't be helped so just go with that initial definition i.e. not currently 1st round.

</p>

<h1>
	LOSER | Kurt Benkert | QB | Virginia
</h1>

<p>
	To be fair, none of the South quarterbacks flashed anything terribly impressive on the first day of practice, but Benkert seemed to have the most struggles. With the North roster looking stacked with players such as Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and Wyoming’s Josh Allen, Benkert has an opportunity to take command of the South squad. Instead, inconsistency was the theme of his Tuesday. Missing the mark multiple times throughout the day, his lack of accuracy reared its head on multiple occasions. While he did have some positive moments, his overall roller-coaster performance will leave scouts wanting more the rest of the week.
</p>

<h1>
	WINNER | M.J. Stewart | CB | North Carolina
</h1>

<p>
	Physical at the line of scrimmage, this former Tar Heel easily looked like the best corner on the whole South squad Tuesday. Giving fits to receivers in press coverage, Stewart was an island on which quarterbacks struggled to find any space to work.
</p>

<p>
	The star of 1-on-1 drills, Stewart was able to win every snap against his target. Easily overpowering his counterparts, Stewart’s 31-inch arms allowed him to minimize separation over the top and consistently bat the ball out of the air. If he keeps this up all week, Stewart will be climbing the corner rankings.

	Ditto... Benkert will rise to end up going in the first set of Compensatory Picks.

	Hey Ag, thanks for doing this. Should be fun..

<p>
	I’ve got 2:
</p>

<p>
	DJ Moore, WR, Maryland 5’11, 215
</p>

<p>
	(Projected Rds 4-6)
</p>

<p>
	Built like Alvin Kamara, but can certainly play receiver. Strong, fast, and shifty. I think he will be a solid slot receiver in the league. 
</p>



<p>
	Jake Wieneke, WR, South Dakota St 6’4 205
</p>

<p>
	Only got one D1 offer out of HS. Smooth route runner, solid hands. Not the fastest but knows his routes make up for it. Put up insane numbers his junior season. Plays like a 6’4 Adam Thielen.
</p>

<p>
	8 catches, 196 yds, 2 TDS vs TCU
