2019 NFL Mock Draft: Seventh Edition

Here is the seventh 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- Quinnen Williams, Defensive Tackle, Alabama: Williams was an intimidating presence in the middle of the Tide's defensive line the past few seasons. The Niners have some talent on their defensive line with DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas and adding Williams to those guys would only make that unit stronger.

3. New York Jets- Josh Allen, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Kentucky: The Jets get a possible steal here with Allen after Bosa and Williams get picked first and second, respectively. The Jets are a team that needs more athletes on the defensive side of the ball and this is a great fit.

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 for some of my 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- Defensive End, Clemson: The Lions have a need at the position if Ziggy 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- 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 at this point. The Bills need more help on the offensive line rather than the defensive line, but the retirement of Kyle Williams opened up a hole that Oliver can facilitate.

10. Denver Broncos- Greedy Williams, Cornerback, LSU: Williams is the best corner in the draft and the Broncos have a need here with a few of their corners slated to become free agents. A quarterback is probably the more wiser choice, but it's more unlikely now with the acquisition of Joe Flacco.

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- 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.

13. Miami Dolphins- Kyler Murray, Quarterback, Oklahoma: I do think the Dolphins like next years quarterback class better, but they seem ready to move on from Ryan Tannehill. Murray has officially chosen football over baseball and his is a sure fire first round pick and I can see the Dolphins taking a chance.

14. Atlanta Falcons- 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. 

15. Washington Redskins- Daniel Jones, Quarterback, Duke: With Alex Smith's future uncertain, the Skins take perhaps their future franchise quarterback in Jones. His stock has risen with a good showing in the Senior Bowl and it sure seems like he's a sure fire first round pick.

16. Carolina Panthers- 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 Panthers have a bigger need at the offensive line, but it wouldn't be shocking of them to take the talented pass rusher.

17. Cleveland Browns- Deandre Baker, Cornerback, Georgia: The Browns have a very good roster so all they have to do is tinker. Baker is someone that can come in and play with Denzel Ward and form a great secondary.

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

19. Tennessee Titans- Christian Wilkins, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: Here's the second of the three Clemson defensive lineman to go off the board. Wilkins on the same front seven as Jurell Casey is a scary proposition.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers- Byron Murphy, Cornerback, Washington: Murphy falling this far would be a steal for the Steelers. Yes, they absolutely need a wide receiver with the pending departure of Antonio Brown, but this wouldn't be a bad option considering their secondary isn't great either.

21. Seattle Seahawks- Nassir Adderley, Safety, Delaware: Adderley is someone who's stock is rapidly rising by the week with his good Senior Bowl performance. He's not even considered the best safety in the draft, but the Seahawks have a need at the position and I can see Pete Carroll rolling the dice here.

22. Baltimore Ravens- DK Metclaf, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: Metclaf 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- Dalton Risner, Offensive Tackle, Kansas State: Cornerback is another Texans big need, but DeShaun Watson badly needs protection and Risner 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)- Marquise Brown, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma: The Raiders can use some young blood at the skill positions on offense to help Derek Carr out. Brown could be a first rounder or even a day two draft pick depending on how the draft goes.

25. Philadelphia Eagles- Josh Jacobs, Running Back, Alabama: The Eagles do have a ton of running backs, but none of them that are great. Jacobs has potential to be great and would be a nice backfield option for Carson Wentz (or Nick Foles).

26. Indianapolis Colts- Kelvin Hamron, Wide Receiver, North Carolina State: 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 Harmon could be that.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Dallas Cowboys)- Jaylon Ferguson, Defensive End, Lousiana Tech: Ferguson is someone who is a fast riser due to a strong showing at the Senior Bowl. The Raiders need more than one guy on that edge rush to replace what Khalil Mack brought to them and this would be a nice gamble with their final first rounder.

28. Los Angeles Chargers- Jerry Tillery, Defensive Tackle, Notre Dame: The Chargers defensive front was exposed in their playoff defeat against the Patriots and bolstering the interior would be wise. Tillery is someone who's stock is rising and is worth the selection here.

29. Kansas City Chiefs- Dionte Thompson, Safety, Alabama: The consensus top safety in this draft dropping this far would be a mega steal. The Chiefs are obviously a team with a dire need of defensive talent, especially in the secondary.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints)- Mack Wilson, Linebacker, Alabama: The Packers are another team that needs youth sporadically around their defense, especially with stopping the run. Wilson would be a good addition to the linebacking corps to strengthen that unit.

31. Los Angeles Rams- Dexter Lawrence, Defensive End, 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 him and Aaron Donald on the interior is scary.

32. New England Patriots- AJ Brown, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: The Patriots would probably better off picking a defensive player here, but knowing Bill Belichick I can see him doing something different. Brown would be another nice weapon for Tom Brady as he is in the twilight of his career.
