2019 NFL Mock Draft: Third Edition

Here is the third edition of my 2019 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Arizona Cardinals- Nick Bosa, Defensive End, Ohio State: Bosa is the best player in this draft and certainly has a chance to be a multi-time All-Pro player. The Cardinals have needs everywhere on their roster other than a quarterback and getting a possible franchise player to lead your pass rush to go with Chandler Jones is very enticing.

2. San Francisco 49ers- Josh Allen, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Kentucky: Allen was the key kog to a Wildcats defense which rode the team to a phenomenal season. His draft stock has risen dramatically throughout the season and the 49ers are a logical fit because they need an edge rusher.

3. New York Jets- Quinnen Williams, Defensive Tackle, Alabama: Williams was an intimidating presence in the middle of the Tide's defensive line the past few seasons. The Jets have a ton of needs so they can build around Sam Darnold and the defensive line is somewhere where they have talent that hasn't panned out yet and putting Williams alongside Leonard Williams would be fun.

4. Oakland Raiders- Rashan Gary, Defensive End, Michigan: The Raiders begin to build their pass rush by selecting Gary, who didn't really live up to his number one overall prospect ranking he was given in high school. If Gary produces in the pros, this will turn out to be a great selection as they would finally replace Khalil Mack.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Jonah Williams, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: Williams was the best lineman perhaps in the country this season and did a great job protecting Tua Tagovailoa. The Bucs bigger needs lie on defense but passing up on a possible future All-Pro offensive lineman to protect Jameis Winston would not be great.

6. New York Giants- Dwayne Haskins, Quarterback, Ohio State: Eli Manning's days of being a good starting quarterback in the league are over and his future is uncertain at this point. Haskins handing the ball off to Saquon Barkley and throwing it to Odell Beckham Jr would only jumpstart his career and it would be fun to watch.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars- Kyler Murray, Quarterback, Oklahoma: The Blake Bortles experiment in Jacksonville should be over as Tom Coughlin is regretting paying him last offseason. Murray recently declared to the NFL Draft instead of going to baseball and despite his height, he just won the Heisman Trophy and look at how his predecessor Baker Mayfield succeeded as a rookie in the league.

8. Detroit Lions- Ed Oliver, Defensive Tackle, Houston: Oliver was once projected a top-five pick and his stock has dropped dramatically. The Lions need defensive line help with Ziggy Ansah possibly walking in free agency and Oliver would be a good selection if he lives upto hype.

9. Buffalo Bills- Dalton Risner, Offensive Tackle, Kansas State: Risner had a phenomenal college career and there's a good chance he's a Day One draft pick. The Bills offensive line is awful and they need to protect Josh Allen and Risner would be a safe pick.

10. Denver Broncos- Drew Lock, Quarterback, Missouri: With Case Keenum future uncertain belong 2019, the Broncos take perhaps their future franchise quarterback in Lock. His stock has risen with a strong finish to his season and has a very strong arm.

11. Cincinnati Bengals- Devin White, Linebacker, LSU: White was the best linebacker in the country this past season and he would be a fine selection. Vontaze Burfict is injury prone now a days and Preston Brown is a free agent, so White would provide some energy to an aging Bengals defense.

12. Green Bay Packers- Deionte Thompson, Safety, Alabama: If the Packers want to get back into contention, they must fix their secondary, especially after trading away Ha-Ha Clinton Dix. Thompson is the best safety in the draft and he'd be a great pick here by the Pack.

13. Miami Dolphins- Clelin Ferrell, Defensive End, Clemson: There are reports out there that the Dolphins are eyeing next years quarterback with studs like Tua Tagovailoa and Jake Fromm declare. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have needs at other positions and Ferrell is someone that can start right away in the league and would pair nice with Cameron Wake.

14. Atlanta Falcons- Christian Wilkins, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: Dabo Sweeney has three great defensive lineman who project to go in the first round. Wilkins could be an immediate starter for Dan Quinn and he could replace free agent Gardy Jarrett on the defensive line.

15. Washington Redskins- Dexter Lawrence, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: Three straight Clemson defensive lineman taken as the Redskins pass on a quarterback to improve their interior defense. Lawrence to go with Daron Payne on their interior would be scary for opponents.

16. Carolina Panthers- Greedy Williams, Cornerback, LSU: A player of Williams's caliber should not drop this far as the Panthers snag him in mid-first round. Their secondary isn't great and getting perhaps the best cornerback in the draft is a win considering Captian Munnerlyn isn't getting younger.

17. Cleveland Browns- Cody Ford, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma: Guess what? The Browns actually have a good roster so they don't have any obvious needs! Where they can use some help is offensive line as their tackles aren't good and Ford could end up as a good left tackle to help protect Baker Mayfield.

18. Minnesota Vikings- Greg Little, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss: The Vikings were arguably the leagues most disappointing team this past season and there biggest issue was protecting Kirk Cousins. Little would at least help the Vikings offensive line and find holes for Dalvin Cook.

19. Tennessee Titans- Brian Burns, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Florida State: Burns is someone who's draft stock has risen throughout the season due to his speed and good frame. Brian Orakpo's retirement opens up a need for the Titans and Burns would fit nicely in Mike Vrabel's defense.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers- K'Neal Harry, Wide Receiver, Arizona State: Harry is someone who could wind up a steal from this spot, if not, the most talented receiver in the draft. This would be a nice weapon for Ben Rothlisberger as they perhaps replace Antonio Brown.

21. Seattle Seahawks- Montez Sweat, Defensive End, Mississippi State: The Seahawks are a team that exceeded expectations, but still have obvious flaws on their roster. Their pass rush is not what it was five seasons ago and Sweat would be a fine pick to go with Frank Clark.

22. Baltimore Ravens- Jacahi Polite, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Florida: Polite is someone coming off a breakthrough year in college and his draft stock rose in light of it. The Ravens can use some high upside players on their pass rush although a receiver is probably the more pressing need.

23. Houston Texans- Yodny Cajuste, Offensive Tackle, West Virginia: Cornerback is another Texans big need, but DeShaun Watson badly needs protection and Cajuste would help the problem. The Texans have the worst offensive line perhaps in the sport and that should be the teams top priority this offseason.

24. Oakland Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Kelvin Hamron, Wide Receiver, North Carolina State: The Raiders now shift their focus to offense where they do need some young blood at skill positions. Martavis Bryant is gone and Jordy Nelson is aging, so Harmon would be a nice weapon for Derek Carr.

25. Philadelphia Eagles- Byron Murphy, Cornerback, Washington: Murphy falling this far would be a massive steal for the Eagles. He would be a nice fit in Jim Schwartz's defense to go with Ronald Darby and Malcolm Jenkins in that secondary.

26. Indianapolis Colts- DK Metclaf, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: The Colts suddenly look like a team that has a look of a contender. A defensive player is the wiser choice but Andrew Luck needs another reliable wideout other than TY Hilton and Metclaf could be that.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Dallas Cowboys)- Jeffery Simmons, Defensive Tackle, Mississippi State: The Raiders continue to rebuild their defense by fixing their interior with Simmons. He's one of the better interior lineman in the draft and this would be a solid pick by Jon Gruden and Mike Maycock.

28. Los Angeles Chargers- Mack Wilson, Linebacker, Alabama: The Chargers do have a ton of playmakers on defense, but their defense was exposed against the Patriots and need more help defending the run. Wilson would be a good addition to the linebacking corps to strengthen that unit.

29. Kansas City Chiefs- DeAndre Baker, Cornerback, Georgia: The Chiefs secondary got flat out exposed in its AFC Championship game loss against the Patriots. Baker is one of the better corners in the draft he would have an immediate impact on a secondary that needs playmakers.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints)- Noah Fant, Tight End, Iowa: Jimmy Graham isn't the same player he once was in New Orleans so the Packers should snag the best tight end in this draft class in Fant. He is very athletic and he can have a similar impact as Dallas Goedert did as a rookie with the Eagles this season.

31. New England Patriots- Daniel Jones, Quarterback, Duke: Tom Brady is going to be forty-two years old and can't play forever. Jones had a good Senior Bowl and scouts are taking him more seriously as a first round possibility despite being injured last season in college.

32. Los Angeles Rams- Zach Allen, Defensive End, Boston College: Trade acquisition Dante Fowler Jr is going to be a free agent after the season and would have a need at pass rusher. Allen's stock has risen after a fine season in college and he would be a nice add.
