2019 NFL Mock Draft: Fifth Edition

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

1. Arizona Cardinals- Nick Bosa, Defensive End, Ohio State: Last mock draft, I had Quinnen Williams here, but 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- Drew Lock, Quarterback, Missouri: I had Kyler Murray here the last few mock's, but Lock has drawn some looks from Tom Coughlin and the Jags front office. Lock has a very good arm and he had a good finish to his final collegiate season.

8. Detroit Lions- Clelin Ferrell, Defensive End, Clemson: The Lions have a need at the position if Iggy Ansah departs in free agency so this pick makes sense. Dabo Sweeney has three talented defensive lineman slated to go in the fist round and Ferrell here is the first off the board.

9. Buffalo Bills- Jawaan Taylor, Offensive Tackle, Florida: The Bills biggest need is to get protection for Josh Allen. Taylor is one of the fast risers from the Senior Bowl and he would be a big help for Allen and that Bills offensive line.

10. Denver Broncos- Kyler Murray, Quarterback, Oklahoma: I've had Drew Lock here the past few mock's, but here I decide to mock Murray, who the Broncos do like. Murray declared for the draft and I believe he'll stick to football and end up a top ten pick.

11. Cincinnati Bengals- Greedy Williams, Cornerback, LSU: Williams is the best corner in the draft and the Bengals snagging him here would be a win. They have an aging defense and Williams will provide much needed energy and youth to that secondary.

12. Green Bay Packers- Devin White, Linebacker, LSU: White was the best linebacker in the country this past season and he would be a fine selection. Clay Matthews is aging and someone as talented as White would be a find replacement.

13. Miami Dolphins- Daniel Jones, Quarterback, Duke: I do think the Dolphins like next years quarterback class better, but they seem ready to move on from Ryan Tannehill. Jones is a very fast riser thanks to a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and I can see Miami taking a chance here.

14. Atlanta Falcons- Jeffery Simmons, Defensive Tackle, Mississippi State: Simmons is someone else that has risen fast of late. The Falcons could have a need at the position if Gardy Jarrett departs in free agency on that defensive line.

15. Washington Redskins- Montez Sweat, Defensive End, Mississippi State: Some might feel that this is a reach, but Sweat's stock has risen recently after a good Senior Bowl. Sweat posted double digit sack seasons two years in a row and he's a solid run defender too. 

16. Carolina Panthers- Yodny Cajuste, Offensive Tackle, West Virginia: Cam Newton has had trouble staying healthy the last few seasons, so offensive line should be the Panthers priority. Cajuste is all over the place on peoples mock boards, but here I have him mocked as a mid-first rounder.

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- Ed Oliver, Defensive Tackle, Houston: Oliver was once projected a top-five pick and his stock has dropped dramatically, so there's a chance Oliver is a steal. The Vikings could use a defensive tackle, especially it Sheldon Richardson walks in free agency.

19. Tennessee Titans- Byron Murphy, Cornerback, Washington: Murphy falling this far would be a steal for the Titans. They do not have a need in the secondary with Malcolm Butler and Kevin Byard still around, but it would not be a bad idea to get a young corner in there.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers- Marquise Brown, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Steelers have a huge possible need at wide receiver with an Antonio Brown exit looming more likely by the day. Brown would be a nice fit to replace Brown in that offense.

21. Seattle Seahawks- Dionte Thompson, Safety, Alabama: Thompson would be a steal dropping this far. "Legion of Boom" is gone in The Emerald City and drafting the best safety in the draft would be great for Pete Carroll's young secondary.

22. Baltimore Ravens- DK Metclaf, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: Metlcaf is someone who could wind up a steal from this spot. This would be a nice weapon for Lamar Jackson, who needs a downfield threat guy to help his development.

23. Houston Texans- Greg Little, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss: Cornerback is another Texans big need, but DeShaun Watson badly needs protection and Little 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)- Deandre Baker, Cornerback, Georgia: The Raiders have a ton of young players and none of them have panned out yet. Baker is one of the best 3 corners in the draft which makes this a fine selection by Jon Gruden and Mike Maycock.

25. Philadelphia Eagles- Dexter Lawrence, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: Three Clemson players are expected to go in the first round and Lawrence could wind up the best one of the trio. He reminds me of current Eagle Fletcher Cox and the thought of those two on the interior together is scary.

26. Indianapolis Colts- 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 Frank Reich on the defense, which needs some more playmakers on the line.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Dallas Cowboys)- Josh Jacobs, Running Back, Alabama: The Raiders offensive play makers are aging and Jacobs would be a solid fit. He draws comparisons to Alvin Kamara and he would be an upgrade over Doug Martin and Marhsawn Lynch.

28. Los Angeles Chargers- Dalton Risner, Offensive Tackle, Kansas State: Phillip Rivers has shown zero signs of decline of late and some protection on the offensive line would be smart with some of that unit aging. A defensive player would have been a wise choice, but so would Risner.

29. Kansas City Chiefs- 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 Chiefs need some high upside players on their defense, especially versatile players.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints)- T.J. Hockenson, Tight End, Iowa: Jimmy Graham isn't the same player he once was in New Orleans so the Packers should snag a fast rising tight end in Hockenson. He's a good blocker and has drawn comparisons to George Kittle of the 49ers.

31. Los Angeles Rams- Nasir Adderley, Safety, Delaware: Adderley is a fast riser thanks to a strong showing at the Senior Bowl. The Rams may have a need at safety if LaMarcus Joyner departs in free agency and Adderley could be worth a shot here.

32. New England Patriots- Noah Fant, Tight End, Iowa: Rob Gronkowski's future is very uncertain at this point with all of the injuries he's dealt with, the Pats take his possible successor in Fant. He's the best tight end in the draft and would have an instant impact in Bill Belichick's offense.
