2019 NFL mock draft: Kansas City Chiefs trade up in first round
By Grant Tuttle
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers have one one of the most complete rosters in football. That being said, they are a team that could use some defensive interior help. Christian Wilkins is a very strong player that could help the Chargers against the run and help free up Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
Houston Texans (from Kansas City)
The Texans will want to take all the talent on the offensive line that they can. Bradbury is the best center in the draft and he could make an immediate impact on the offense that has struggled to protect Deshaun Watson. Bradbury has the upside to be an eventual All-Pro.
Green Bay Packers
Noah Fant is an incredibly athletic tight end that can get open very quickly. For a team like the Packers, adding this kind of firepower to an offense with Aaron Rodgers at the helm would be an excellent move. If Fant is there at 30, the Packers should be sprinting to the podium.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are going to have to replace Ndamukong Suh and Dexter Lawrence would make an immediate impact. With good run stopping ability and strength, the defensive tackle position for the Rams still needs to be filled. Lawrence is a bit of a reach, but worth it for a team that is in “win now” mode.
Denver Broncos (TRADE UP from New England)
For John Elway, this would be a pretty safe investment for the future. For Bill Belichick, this would be a good way to add more picks to build up draft capital. The Patriots could add more weapons in the later rounds of the draft. Jones is a very safe pick that can develop behind Joe Flacco.
