2019 NFL Mock Draft: Tenth Edition

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

1. Arizona Cardinals- Kyler Murray, Quarterback, Oklahoma: 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. Murray has a lot of respect from Kliff Kingsbury and that is the obvious connection that is making the media think this is a distinct possibility.

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- Josh Allen, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Kentucky: Allen is the one player that was a huge riser from the summer until now. The Jets have a need for immediate impact talent (and versatility) on the defensive side of the ball and Allen would be a great fit. A trade down is not out of the question, either because the Jets still have other needs to address.

4. Oakland Raiders- Quinnen Williams, Defensive Tackle, Alabama: Williams is someone that the Silver And Black will gladly take and Jon Gruden loves players like Williams. He's physical and he can flat out tackle. I see a poor mans Aaron Donald here. It would be a huge win for Gruden and Mike Maycock if Arizona takes Murray and/or if someone trades up to 2 or 3 to take Dwayne Haskins or someone else.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Montez Sweat, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Mississippi State: The Buccaneers have options as they decide on the fast rising pass rusher in Sweat, who has major bust potential, though. He is is very athletic and fast and is someone the Bucs can build their front seven around along with Gerald McCoy.

 6. New York Giants- Dwayne Haskins, Quarterback, Ohio State: This is a marriage that has to happen. Eli Manning is not good anymore and is five years past his prime. Haskins is someone that there was rumors that the Giants had zero interest in him, but than reports circled that they had dinner with him after the combine and they had key staff at his Pro Day. He is the best quarterback in this draft and has the makings of a leader. Exactly what the Giants are looking for.

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- Devin White, Inside Linebacker, LSU: The Lions are getting a possible steal here with White, where some projections have him going as high as fourth to Oakland. Matt Patricia would love a player of White's caliber, who is someone that's a dynamic tackling machine that could be a future Pro-bowler.

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- Drew Lock, Quarterback, Missouri: There is some chatter that the Broncos might take or trade up for a quarterback, but I can see John Elway taking a chance here despite despite other speculation that he won't take a quarterback. Joe Flacco is only under contract for one season and Lock can learn from him.

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 I'm not buying it.

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. It also wouldn't surprise me if they (and probably is the wiser choice to) take a defensive player.

13. Miami Dolphins- Rashan Gary, Defensive End, Michigan: Miami is a team that is all in on Tank For Tua after it decided to trade Ryan Tannehill away and sign Ryan Fitzpatrick to a 2-year contract. Gary is somebody who did not live upto his number one top prospect ranking he was given in high school, but maybe he finds his potential in the pros instead.

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- DK Metclaf, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss: The latest rumor out of the Nations Capital is that they are the favorites to trade for Josh Rosen. In matter of fact, Rosen or whomever is quarterback of this team needs a wide receiver. Metclaf is a downfield threat, who has a chance to get drafted as high as seventh to the Jaguars.

16. Carolina Panthers- Jonah Williams, Offensive Tackle, Alabama: The Panthers land a mega steal here with Williams, who is the best lineman in the draft. Williams will be starting right away in this scenario and Cam Newton needs protection badly because he's a quarterback that is an injury risk as of right now.

17. New York Giants (from Cleveland Browns)- Brian Burns, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Florida State: There's a chance the Giants trade this and the sixth pick for the franchise quarterback they desperately need. Burns is someone that is rising with speed, but his weakness is that he isn't great against the run. The Giants have plenty of options here, but if the quarterback magically falls to them at six, defense would be a wise play here.

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- 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- Hakeem Butler, Wide Receiver, Iowa State: Butler's stock is rising very fast as he seems likely to be a first round pick. Lamar Jackson needs weapons around him everywhere and Butler would be a good start.

23. Houston Texans- Andre Dillard, Offensive Tackle, Washington State: No team needs an offensive line improvement in the league more than the Texans. Dillard is someone rising due to a strong combine showing at the combine. He's the best blocking tackle in the draft and that would be a treat for DeShaun Watson, who was sacked 62 (!!!!) times last year.

24. Oakland Raiders (from Chicago Bears)- Josh Jacobs, Running Back, Alabama: The Raiders use their second 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 before the Eagles go on the clock.

25. Philadelphia Eagles- Greg Little, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss: The Eagles roster is pretty good, so there's not really any obvious needs. The offensive line is a unit that is aging and Little is someone that could be a first rounder or a third rounder.

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)- Irv Smith Jr, Tight End, Alabama: Smith is the fastest rising tight end as of right now. Derek Carr needs weapons and Smith would come in and replace Jared Cook very well.

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. Kansas City Chiefs- Clelin Ferrell, Defensive End, Clemson: The third Clemson defensive lineman goes off the board as the Chiefs land a potential steal. They need to replace Dee Ford on their pass rush and Ferrell can come in and start right away.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints)- Mack Wilson, Inside Linebacker, Alabama: Wilson's stock is rising as he's among the better linebackers in the draft. The Packers have a need of youth with the linebacker position with Clay Matthews aging and Wilson would be a solid fit.

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- Noah Fant, Tight End, Iowa: Rob Gronkowski is now retired and the Pats need a viable replacement. Fant is the best tight end of the draft and he can have an impact similar to what Dallas Goedert had on the Eagles last year.
