We are one week away from the NFL Draft and the rumors are hotter than ever, personally I think that many rumors are false, the teams spread them to confuse their rivals and to have a better chance to make some trades during the Draft, but many of them also turn out to be true, but we will only be able to find out until the Draft starts out and the teams begin to select!!!
As that happens, here it is the final version of my NFL 2019 first round Mock Draft:
Pac´s NFL Mock Draft
1.- Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray QB, Oklahoma
I think Coach Kingsbury is in love with Murray’s skills and will take him first overall.
2.- San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa DE, Ohio State
The 49ers take the best Prospect of this entire Draft thanks to the Cardinals.
3.- New York Jets: Quinnen Willams DT, Alabama
The Jets can not let this great prospect pass this slot, although they could make a trade here with someone who likes Haskins and feels like the Raiders may grab him before them.
4.- Oakland Raiders: Josh Allen DE, Kentucky
Defensive End is a very needy position for the Raiders after they have a trade to Kalil Mack, so they grab the second best prospect in that position.
5.- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Montez Sweat DE, Mississippi State
Tampa also grabs a great Defensive End prospect since there is a lot of talent in this position in this year’s Draft and that does not happen very often, Sweat was one of the big winners in the Scouting Combine and his stock went up real fast!
6.- New York Giants: Dwayne Haskins QB, Ohio State
Eli Manning himself said last week that the Giants are going QB…So, the Giants go for their QB of the future.
7.- Jacksonville Jaguars: Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan
Another Defensive End, Gary is a big and fast prospect in a draft loaded with a lot of talent for the D-Line.
8.- Detroit Lions: Devin White LB, LSU
Detroit could go for a WR here, but Coach Patricia can not let a big and fast LB like White pass through him.
9.- Buffalo Bills: DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
The Bills are in great need for a WR, so they take a gamble with this year scouting combine big winner, Metcalf is a bum or bust prospect, but his physical skills are too much for not to be the first WR off the board.
10.- Denver Broncos: Drew Lock QB, Missouri
I think Elway is going for another quarterback of the future and I think he gets a bust again.
11.- Cincinnati Bengals: Jonah Williams OT, Alabama
The Bengals have many holes to fill, start by giving better protection to Dalton would be wise.
12.- Green Bay Packers: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
The Packers already sign two DE and Oliver would be the perfect complement for their defensive line as he would give them a much-needed strength in the center of the line.
13.- Miami Dolphins: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
Miami is in total rebuilding, they stay with a guy from Florida to reinforce the offensive line and protect whoever their quarterback is going to be.
14.- Atlanta Falcons: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
This Draft is very rich in defensive prospects and Atlanta, like the Packers, will also find a very powerful DT
15.- Washington Redskins: Daniel Jones QB, Duke
Case Keenum is not the long-term solution and Alex Smith either, Jay Gruden takes his quarterback of the future.
16. Carolina Panthers: Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
The Panthers desperately need better protection for Cam Newton and they can’t pass on a great OL Prospect.
17.- New York Giants: AJ Brown WR, Ole Miss
The Giants go for the OBJ substitute with this underrated but very promising prospect
18.- Minnesota Vikings: Cody Ford, OT/G, Oklahoma
The Vikings goes with an offensive lineman to give more protection to his QB.
19.- Tennessee Titans: Clelin Ferrell, DE/OLB, Clemson
The Titans will be very lucky if Ferrell gets to them, so if he is here, they are not going to let him go.
20.- Pittsburgh Steelers: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
Pittsburgh will follow his tradition of selecting great defensive talents with this Pick.
21.- Seattle Seahawks: Noah Fant TE, Iowa
The Seahawks go for great size and speed Tight End for Russell Wilson, this pick could be either of the two Iowa´s TEs, but i think Fant has the edge because of his combine numbers.
22.- Baltimore Ravens: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
The Ravens lost their top receivers in free agency, Brown, and Crabtree, so their main need is a WR 1 for Lamar Jackson
23.- Houston Texans: Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College
I had Ford going to the Texans in my previous Mock, but in this one, Ford it’s off the board, so the Texans still go with an offensive lineman and a very good one!
24.- Oakland Raiders: Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
I had the Raiders going RB, but if Baker or Williams gets to them, they are going to pull the trigger for a CB to pair with Conley.
25.- Philadelphia Eagles: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
I know this is not the most popular pick for the Eagles, but i still believe that, like the Raiders, if Baker or Williams fall to them, they are going to select a CB.
26.- Indianapolis Colts: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
The Colts reinforce the center of their defense with this big and strong Defensive Tackle.
27.- Oakland Raiders: T. J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Jared Cook was signed by the Saints a few weeks ago, so Oakland cannot let pass one of the main TE prospects in this draft
28.- Los Angeles Chargers: Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
The weakest point of the Chargers defense is the center of the D Line, so they grab a DT to reinforce that area.
29.- Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Burns, DE, Florida State
The Chiefs lost Justin Houston and Dee Ford, so a Defensive End should be a priority.
30.- Green Bay Packers: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
The Packers reinforce their secondary and go for the best prospect available at this point in the draft.
31.- Los Angeles Rams: Jeffery Simmons, DE / DT, Mississippi State
The Rams get a partner for Aaron Donald now that Suh is no longer with the team.
32.- New England Patriots: Irv Smith Jr, TE, Alabama
Gronk just retired this week and the Patriots take advantage of the great talent in the TE position in this Draft to find his replacement.
That’s all for today!!, my predictions are made with the current Draft order, however there may still be many movements due to the trades that the teams make during the Draft in order to obtain either more selections or a player they covet the most, I hope you enjoy the event and that your team selects a great player !!
