2019 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Super Bowl 53 edition
By Randy Gurzi
53. Philadelphia Eagles (via Baltimore Ravens): Joshua Jacobs, RB, Alabama
Jay Ajayi has been a good running back in the NFL, but he hasn’t been incredibly durable. He came into the NFL with knee issues and a torn ACL shortened his 2018 campaign. The Eagles need someone they can trust long-term and they get a good one here in Joshua Jacobs from Alabama, who burst onto the scene this past year.

54. Houston Texans (via Seattle Seahawks): Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College
The Texans No.1 need is along the offensive line. Their No. 2 need is along the offensive line. Their No. 3 need is along the offensive line. This team needs a complete overhaul of that group and they spend their second-straight pick in this draft on a lineman, this time going with guard Chris Lindstrom.
55. Houston Texans: David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State
After two linemen in a row, the Texans switch it up and go with a running back. Lamar Miller is starting to decline and D’Onta Foreman was only able to play in one game after a torn Achilles late in 2017. David Montgomery was a workhorse back for Iowa State and can carry the load for Houston.
56. New England Patriots (via Chicago): Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State
Another Cyclone hears his name called as the New England Patriots grab Hakeem Butler. He’s a huge target at 6-6 and could be that outside receiver the Patriots have been looking for recently to help open up the offense even further.
