The NFL Draft 2019 it’s now in the books and i would like to present to you the good, the bad and the ugly in this draft…according to me of course..lol
Before i start, i want to clear one point, all these prospects haven’t played a single snap in the NFL, and my opinions are based on what they did in college, but as you know, anything can happen once they start to play, to really grade a team draft you have to wait at least three years, and that’s when you are going to know for sure if his draft was good or bad…so lets keep this thing going…..
The Good
Arizona Cardinals: I would like to begin with the good and for me, the team with the best draft was the Arizona Cardinals, the Kyler Murray selection first overall give Coach Kinsgbury his guy to command the offense, and that’s a luxury that not many first-year coaches have, besides Murray, they get one of the best CB prospect in the Second Round with the selection of Byron Murphy, a great DE in Zach Allen, and a trio of great WR in Isabella, Butler, and Johnson who will have a great mentor in the great Larry Fitzgerald.
So they surround his guy Murray with a lot of talent at Offense they reinforce the Defense also, and they were able to move Josh Rosen to the Dolphins and got a second round Pick (Andy Isabella) to me, this was the best draft this year.
Cardinals Selections by Round
1.- Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
2.- Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
2.- Andy Isabella, WR, Massachusetts
3.- Zach Allen, DE, Boston College
4.- Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State
5.- Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama
6.- KeeSean Johnson, WR, Fresno State
6.- Lamont Gaillard, C, Georgia
7.- Joshua Miles, T, Morgan State
7.- Michael Dogbe, DE, Temple
7.- Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA
Honorable “Good” Mentions: Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, New England Patriots
The Bad
Houston Texans: the Texans did not have a good draft, his first-round selection Titus Howard is a very gifted athlete but he’s not NFL ready, he’s going to need a lot of work to be an NFL starter soon, in the second round they went with Lonnie Johnson and Max Scharping, with better prospects in the board, and in the 4th Round they went with Kahale Warring at TE, a position that they don’t need much, so i didn’t like the Texans Draft much.
Texans Selections by Round
1 .- Tytus Howard, OL, Alabama State
2.- Lonnie Johnson, CB, Kentucky
2.- Max Scharping, T, Northern Illinois
3.- Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego State
5.- Charles Omenihu, DL, Texas
6.- Xavier Crawford, DB, Central Michigan
7.- Cullen Gillaspia, FB, Texas A&M
Honorable “Bad” Mentions: Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers
The Ugly
The Daniel Jones selection at 6th overall:
Maybe someday the Giants prove us all wrong and Daniel Jones becomes a great QB, but right now, i believe Haskins should be the selection at 6th or maybe go with a DL at 6th and Jones at 17
*The Darnell Savage selection at 21st overall:
A very similar situation, the Packers like the Giants stick with his gut and went with a prospect who looks like a reach at 21, only the time will tell if they are right.
*The Philadelphia Eagles Backfield for Fantasy owners after the Miles Sanders selection:
Sanders, is a very good RB, but the Eagles traded for Jordan Howard and have Clement and Wendell Smallwood in a very crowded backfield, it’s going to be a nightmare for fantasy owners this season…lol
