With the NFL Combine just a few weeks away, we look ahead to the 2019 NFL Draft with a full first round NFL Mock Draft, predicting picks No. 1-32.
The NFL season has finally come to a close after a lackluster Super Bowl LIII, which saw Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, once again, bringing home the hardware with the New England Patriots. In what should be a much more exciting time around the league, 2019 NFL Draft season is officially underway, with the Combine set to take place at the end of the month. And, you guessed it, it’s time for another NFL Mock Draft.
The draft order is set and no trades have been made yet, so the Arizona Cardinals are sitting atop the draft, while the first round is bookended by the Super Bowl champion Patriots. The first round is owned by the Oakland Raiders, thanks to the trades of Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper made by Jon Gruden and Co.
Meanwhile the Green Bay Packers also have two picks after trading back with the New Orleans Saints so that they could nab pass rusher Marcus Davenport in last years draft.
In a draft dominated by defensive line talent, expect them to fly off of the board early and often. While there is no shortage in defensive talent in this year’s draft class, the offensive talent is at a premium, so we may see a plethora of trades as teams may be looking to move up to grab the playmakers that they need.
In this 2019 NFL Mock Draft, projecting the entire first round, there are no trades predicted either. As such, the Cardinals are on the clock.
