2019 NFL Mock Draft: Josh Allen rises in full 2-round mock
By Randy Gurzi
49. Cleveland Browns: Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
Again, the Cleveland Browns go for the best player on the board but they also get to address a need as well. Their defensive line was decent in 2018, but a big tackle like Dre’Mont Jones will only make them better on that front. Jones had 43 tackles with 8.5 sacks and can be a great interior rusher working next to Larry Ogunjobi.
50. Minnesota Vikings: Gerald Willis III, DT, Miami (FL)
The Vikings are a defensive-first team and add some bulk to their defensive line with the selection of Gerald Willis II out of Miami. The 285-pound defensive tackle is the younger brother of New York Giants safety Landon Collins. He took a long road to the NFL after transferring from Florida to Miami and hopes to cash in now.
51. Tennessee Titans: Martez Ivey, OG, Florida
Getting Marcus Mariota another weapon in Round 1 will help. Adding more help on the offensive line will also help. Martez Ivey isn’t great in space but can be a factor as a run blocker for the Titans, who do love to pound the ball.
52. Pittsburgh Steelers: T.J. Edwards, OLB, Wisconsin
The offense is stout in Pittsburgh, so they address defense once again here with T.J. Edwards from Wisconsin. He was all over the field for the Badgers and never recorded less than 81 tackles in a season for them. In 2018, he had 112 tackles, three sacks, and three picks. He’s a playmaker that can excel in the Steelers 3-4 defense.
