2019 NFL mock draft: Bengals, Giants trades shake up Top 10
By Grant Tuttle
We continue our countdown to the 2019 NFL Draft with another mock draft. Whose stock is up and whose is down? Find out on our latest mock draft!
The Kansas City Chiefs, like the 31 other NFL teams, are in full draft mode. In the midst of pre-draft visits, players are moving up and down draft boards.
With our latest mock draft, let’s take a look at how the stocks of various players are taking their toll on the first round—and how it might affect who is available to the Chiefs if they stay put at No. 29.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Kyler Murray. 1. player. Quarterback. Oaklahoma. 32
1. Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray to Arizona has been an idea for a long time. Now, with the word that Arizona may be shopping Josh Rosen, Murray makes too much sense at number one. Despite Murray’s size, he is the most accurate passer in the draft. Additionally, Murray possesses the ability to make big plays through the air and with his legs. I believe that Murray has the highest potential of flipping a losing franchise into a winning one.
Pick Analysis. EDGE. Ohio State. Scouting Report. 2. player. 42. Nick Bosa
2. San Francisco 49ers
With the addition of Dee Ford this offseason, one could wonder if San Francisco may go another direction. I believe that if Nick Bosa is available, they should take him. Ford will be the weakside defensive end for the 49ers, whereas Bosa will be on the strongside. The addition of Bosa would make the 49ers an incredible force for years to come in pass-rush capablities.
Scouting Report. Defensive Lineman. Ed Oliver. player. 30. Pick Analysis. Houston. 3
3. New York Jets
Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Ed Oliver’s incredible athleticism and versatility could make him one of the best players to come out of this draft. While Quinnen Williams is still on the board, I believe Oliver has the highest ceiling. For a team like the Jets who added offensive firepower in the offseason, shoring up the defense will be a major priority. Oliver fills a need for the Jets.
Pick Analysis. Defensive Tackle. 4. player. Scouting Report. Alabama. Quinnen Williams. 28
4. Oakland Raiders
The Raiders would be lucky to have Quinnen Williams fall into their laps like this. Other than wide receiver, Oakland could draft any position that would fill a need. For new general manager and former draft analyst Mike Mayock, selecting Quinnen Williams to aid the front seven is a no-brainer.
Pick Analysis. EDGE. Scouting Report. Kentucky. Josh Allen. 5. player. 48
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs are a little bit of a wild card. Like the Raiders, they could draft any number of positions and improve immediately. While I think they could consider drafting a guy like Jawaan Taylor here, I think it makes sense that Bruce Arians would want to sure up the defense with a talented EDGE rusher like Josh Allen. The Bucs would be wise to build a talented front seven that included Allen, Vita Vea, Gerald McCoy and Jason Pierre-Paul. That front would be one of the best in the NFL.
