Every Mock Draft Monday you can expect to see at least a two round mock draft from one, some, or all of the Whole Nine Sports crew. This week, the mock draft is brought to you by Justin Rochat, taking you through the first 64 picks of the 2019 NFL Draft.
1.1 Arizona Cardinals
The pick: Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
Kliff Kingsbury has a love affair with the Oklahoma QB so this seems like a forgone conclusion. Look for the Cards to trade Rosen during the Draft.
1.2 San Francisco 49ers
The pick: Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama
I originally had Bosa going here, but recent talk has Williams as the top player in this draft and with the old tweets found by Nick Bosa the mini fall looks real.
TRADE: NYJ trades pick #3 to DEN for picks #10, #41, and 2020 1st.
1.3 Denver Broncos (NYJ)
The pick: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
With Nick Bosa available it will take a haul for the Jets to trade out of this spot. John Elway gives up a first second and third round picks to swap from 10 to 3 and he gets his guy. Lock has a big arm and doesn’t have to start from day 1 with the acquisition of Flacco.
1.4 Oakland Raiders
The pick: Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State
A little bit of a draft day slide, originally believed to be the consensus #1 pick, Bosa falls to the Oakland Raiders who are seeking an elite edge rusher since trading Khalil Mack.
1.5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The pick: Devin White, LB, LSU
The Bucs could’ve went pass rusher here but having White and David on the field together is very intriguing.
1.6 New York Giants
The pick: Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky
WOW. The Giants get lucky with Allen falling down to 6.With Jets trading down we see the two top edge rushers fall a little bit so Gettleman better not pass up this opportunity.
1.7 Jacksonville Jaguars
The pick: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
Jags bought their QB, now they have to keep him clean in the pocket.
1.8 Detroit Lions
The pick: Ed Oliver, DL, Houston
Ed Oliver is an animal. Plain and Simple. Matt Patricia gets a nice toy who can develop into a dominant interior pass rusher.
1.9 Buffalo Bills
The pick: Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan
The Bills could take an offensive lineman here, but they tend to go for the more athletically gifted players and Rashan Gary is an athletic freak. Needs to work on his pass rushing skills though.
1.10 New York Jets (DEN)
The pick: Jonah Williams, OL, Alabama
The Jets received a haul to pass up Nick Bosa which they received next years 1st and 3rd rounders including a 2nd rounder this year. So, here they select a very versatile lineman who can play anywhere on the line, but with this pick most likely being an interior lineman.
1.11 Cincinnati Bengals
The pick: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
This is a no brainer right here. The top LB on the board here for the Bengals.
1.12 Green Bay Packers
The pick: Jeffery Simmons, DL, Mississippi State
Although he suffered a torn ACL Simmons is a top 5 player in this draft. His injury May cause some pause but the cheeseheads should pull the trigger.
1.13 Miami Dolphins
The pick: Dwayne Haskins Jr, QB, Ohio State
Haskins was once the consensus #1 QB in this draft, but things change throughout the draft process and he falls down into Miami’s lap.
1.14 Atlanta Falcons
The pick: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma
The Falcons have some issues on the offensive line so they grab the top one remaining.
1.15 Washington
The pick: Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
The Redskins need a QB but there aren’t any worth drafting here so they take the top remaining edge rusher.
1.16 Carolina Panthers
The pick: Brian Burns, EDGE, Florida State
Burns is an underrated player in this draft and could be a double digit sack guy for the Panthers.
1.17 New York Giants (CLE)
The pick: Andre Dillard, OL, Washington State
The Giants could go defense here, but they shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to take Dilliard here.
1.18 Minnesota Vikings
The pick: Garrett Bradbury, IOL, NC State
The Vikings need any interior offensive line help they could get and Bradbury is the best one available here.
1.19 Tennessee Titans
The pick: TJ Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Hockenson is a beast. He can block, he can catch, he can do it all. The Titans need some weapons for Mariota.
1.20 Pittsburgh Steelers
The pick: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
The Steelers need to bring in some defensive game changers to the secondary and Byron Murphy is the top Corner in this draft (IMO)
1.21 Seattle Seahawks
The pick: Taylor Rapp, S, Washington
With Earl Thomas no longer in Seattle they need to find his replacement. Taylor Rapp is a phenomenal safety and shouldn’t have much trouble replacing ETIII.
1.22 Baltimore Ravens
The pick: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
Harry is a playmaker. Baltimore needs more playmakers to make Lamar Jacksons job easier.
1.23 Houston Texans
The pick: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Greedy is a ballhawk to say the least. Named after his ball hawking tendencies, Greedy is a great player to have in the secondary and has the skill to give the ball back to Deshaun Watson.
1.24 Oakland Raiders (CHI)
The pick: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
The Raiders continue to address defense in the first round and take a rising star in Ya-Sin who showed the scouting world what he can do starting in the Senior Bowl. His stock continues to rise leading into the NFL Draft.
1.25 Philadelphia Eagles
The pick: Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama
Josh Jacobs is a top 10 talent, but he’s a running back. So unless you’re a talent like Zeke running backs won’t go in the top 5. Jacobs will make the Eagles offense much more dynamic with Carson Wentz expected to be healthy.
1.26 Indianapolis Colts
The pick: Clelin Ferrell, EDGE, Clemson
Ferrell’s stock has been falling, however, I am still a big fan of his and believe he could be a double digit sack guy for the Colts.
1.27 Oakland Raiders (DAL)
The pick: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
The Raiders take a pass catching tight end that could help take away the double team away from Antonio Brown.
1.28 Los Angeles Chargers
The pick: Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson
The Bolts need some help along the D line and Wilkins is arguably the top lineman left on the board.
1.29 Kansas City Chiefs
The pick: Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
Baker is another player that has taken a drop in his stock. The Chiefs grab a physical Corner who could start right away in the secondary.
1.30 Green Bay Packers (NO)
The pick: Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State
Green Bay continues to load up on defense taking the physical safety who compared himself to the Jets’ dynamic safety Jamal Adams.
1.31 Los Angeles Rams
The pick: Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware
I would LOVE to see Adderly and Weddle play together. Safety is not their biggest need but Adderley and Weddle together? WOW.
TRADE: NE trades #32 to JAX for #38 and #110
1.32 Jacksonville Jaguars (NE)
The pick: DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
Jacksonville takes the physical freak after trading up a few spots from the second round.
