2019 NFL Mock Draft: Fifteenth Edition

Here is my fifteenth edition of my 2019 NFL Mock Draft.

1. Arizona Cardinals- Kyler Murray, Quarterback, Oklahoma: Over a month ago, I thought that the Murray to the Cardinals talk was fake news. After Steve Keim came out and said "Josh Rosen is our quarterback...... for now" convinced me that Murray is a near lock to go to Arizona and Josh Rosen is trade bait. There has been some reports that the Cards may pass on Murray and keep Rosen but I think it's a smokescreen.

2. San Francisco 49ers- Nick Bosa, Defensive End, Ohio State: This is the dream scenario for the Niners. Getting the best player in the draft is always a win for whomever drafts the player. Bosa would be an upgrade over any of the pass rushers currently on the Niners roster and he would have an immediate impact like Myles Garrett did a few years back with the Browns.

3. New York Jets- Quinnen Williams, Defensive Tackle, Alabama: There is a lot of buzz that the Jets want to trade down and select Ed Oliver, but I think that would be a mistake to pass up on one of these premiere pass rushers. Some folks think Williams is the best player in this draft and the past few years the Jets have been lucky with great prospects falling to them and that will be the case here.

4. Oakland Raiders- Josh Allen, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Kentucky: The Raiders snag the last of the premier pass rushers in Allen, who is only going to get better. They really need to find somebody to replace Khalil Mack after failing to do so a year ago, and the versatile Allen is capable of doing it.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Devin White, Inside Linebacker, LSU: White is someone that is a fast riser among defensive players in the draft. I wouldn't be shocked if Oakland picks him at 4. The Bucs have a need at the linebacker position and White is someone that's a dynamic tackling machine that could be a future Pro-bowler.

6. New York Giants- Dwayne Haskins, Quarterback, Ohio State: The Giants might be setting a smokescreen after all. Rumors are that the Giants love Haskins and there plan is to take him at six if he's available. He's the perfect quarterback to replace Eli Manning long term as he relly has shown a lot of things the Giants would like in a franchise quarterback.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jawaan Taylor, Offensive Tackle, Florida: Taylor is someone that has risen fast after a strong combine performance. He is someone that excels in the run game and that would help Leonard Fournette find holes. The Jags have an already solid offensive line, but the presence of Taylor would only give it more depth and make life better for Nick Foles.

8. Detroit Lions- Brian Burns, Defensive End, Florida State: Yes, the team signed Tre Flowers in free agency, but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to double down on pass rush. Burns is somebody that is very athletic and has a ton of speed. There are better options than Burns at this spot but there's a lot of smoke connecting the two sides here.

9. Buffalo Bills- TJ Hockenson, Tight End, Iowa: Hockenson's stock has risen to the point he could go this high. The comparisons to Rob Gronkowski is what has a lot of teams excited about his potential. The Bills need more weapons around Josh Allen and Hockenson would be a starter for them right away.

10. Denver Broncos- Drew Lock, Quarterback, Missouri: There's a lot of smoke about the Broncos passing on a quarterback for a defensive player again. My guess (for now) is that it's a smokescreen and they'll snag Lock here at ten before Cincinnati, Miami, or Washington can. His strong arm is something I can see John Elway falling in love with.

11. Cincinnati Bengals- Devin Bush, Inside Linebacker, Michigan: Bush is someone who's stock is rising of late who has first round talent. The Bengals don't have Vontaze Burfict anymore, so a need emerges at the position and they are a team that can use youth on their defense. There's some speculation that they are looking to find Andy Dalton's replacement, but it could be a smokescreen.

12. Green Bay Packers- Ed Oliver, Defensive Tackle, Houston: The Packers wisely don't reach for a tight end and instead go with a talented defensive lineman that drops this far in Oliver. There was some buzz Oliver could go as high as three to the Jets, but I don't see it. If he plays up to his potential, the Packers will get a steal here.

13. Miami Dolphins- Jonah Williams, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: Miami is a team that could be all in on Tank For Tua after it decided to trade Ryan Tannehill away and sign Ryan Fitzpatrick to a 2-year contract. Williams would be a solid pick here as he's the best lineman in the draft and would be very good opposite Laremy Tunsill on that line.

14. Atlanta Falcons- Christian Wilkins, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: Wilkins is the first of three Clemson defensive lineman to be drafted. The Falcons did franchise tag Gardy Jarrett instead of letting him test the open market, but selecting a defensive lineman here would bolster their depth at that area and Wilkins can start for Dan Quinn immediately if need be.

15. Washington Redskins- Daniel Jones, Quarterback, Duke: With Alex Smith's future uncertain, the Skins take a chance with a young quarterback in Jones. He has drawn comparisons to Eli Manning and also has participated in the Manning Passing Academy. His stock has risen with a good showing in the Senior Bowl and the combine it sure seems like he's a sure fire first round pick.

16. Carolina Panthers- Andre Dillard, Offensive Tackle, Washington State: With the Dolphins taking Jonah Williams, the Panthers take what some will feel as a reach in Dillard. Cam Newton needs protection with him being an injury risk of late and Dillard is the best blocking tackle in the draft.

17. New York Giants (from Cleveland Browns)- Rashan Gary, Defensive End, Michigan: Addressing the pass rush in this draft is arguably just as important as finding the next franchise quarterback for the Giants. Gary is someone who did not live upto lofty expectations in college, but still was a solid contributor for Jim Harbaugh. He has the tools to be a solid pro and if he lives upto hype, Big Blue could end up with a steal.

18. Minnesota Vikings- Cody Ford, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma: The Vikings are a team that's close to being a contender and they must address their biggest weakness- their offensive line. Ford is someone that is coming off a strong final season in college and would be a welcomed addition to a Vikings offensive line, that needs youth and reinforcements.

19. Tennessee Titans- Greedy Williams, Cornerback, LSU: What a steal this would be for the Titans! Thought out as the best corner at the draft, Tennessee lands someone that can come in and start right away. Malcolm Butler isn't getting any younger, so this pick makes a ton of sense as they would end up with a secondary featuring Williams and Kevin Byard.

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

21. Seattle Seahawks- Montez Sweat, Defensive End, Mississippi State: The Seahawks just traded away Frank Clark, so they have to improve their pass rush. They land a possible steal here with Sweat, who is very athletic and fast and scouts have raved about his potential.

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: The Texans had the worst offensive line in the sport a year ago and they need all the reinforcements that they can use. Risner is someone that can come in and start immediately for a unit that allowed a ton of sacks a season ago.

24. Oakland Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Noah Fant, Tight End, Iowa: The Raiders snag an offensive weapon for Derek Carr with their second first rounder in Fant, who was supplanted by teammate T.J. Hockenson as the top tight end in the draft. He would come in and do a solid job replacing Jared Cook.

25. Philadelphia Eagles- Juan Thornhill, Safety, Virginia: The Eagles are a team that doesn't have a ton of needs, so I can see them taking a chance on somebody like Thornhill. He is someone who's stock is rising due to a strong combine and he would provide more secondary depth.

26. Indianapolis Colts- Jerry Tillery, Defensive Tackle, Notre Dame: Tillery is someone that would fit very well into the new young core the Colts have forming as they build around Andrew Luck. He's a versatile player that could be a steal for whomever picks him.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Dallas Cowboys)- Josh Jacobs, Running Back, Alabama: The Raiders use their third first rounder for a position of need with Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin not being long term solutions. Jacobs is the best running back in the draft and I can see Maycock and Gruden taking him here.

28. Los Angeles Chargers- Dexter Lawrence, Defensive Tackle, Clemson: The Chargers are a team that has a solid roster, so they have options here. Lawrence is someone that makes there defensive line better and brings more depth. He reminds me of Fletcher Cox of the Eagles and imagine him and Joey Bosa on the same defensive line?

29. Seattle Seahawks (from Kansas City Chiefs)- DeAndre Baker, Cornerback, Georgia: Baker is one of the more underrated corners in draft. The Seahawks no longer have "The Legion of Boom" secondary and Baker is someone that can come in and start for Pete Carroll.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints)- Hakeem Butler, Wide Receiver, Iowa State: Butler is somebody who's stock is rising and I can see the Packers snagging him here. They need someone to replace Randall Cobb and Butler would fit in as their wide receiver depth is pretty thin outside of DeVante Adams.

31. Los Angeles Rams- Garrett Bradbury, Center, North Carolina State: Bradbury is someone who's stock is rising rapidly and is the best center in this draft. The Rams lost John Sullivan in free agency and Bradbury can come in and possibly start right away.

32. New England Patriots- AJ Brown, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: Brown is one of the more underrated wideouts in the draft as he was overshadowed in college by DK Metclaf. The Patriots are a team that needs more youth in terms of skill position and Brown will put up numbers with Tom Brady throwing to him.
