2019 NFL Mock Draft: Jets have edge, Browns get defensive in two-round projection
By Randy Gurzi
37. New York Giants: Oshane Ximines, EDGE, Old Dominion
The New York Giants got their quarterback in the first round as they selected Dwayne Haskins. Now, they go out and land a potential stud at defensive end in Oshane Ximines. The Old Dominion product has a lot of upside, but is raw and played against lesser talent. Still, pass rushers are hard to find so the Giants draft for potential here.
38. Jacksonville Jaguars: Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia
Yodny Cajuste is a mauler in the run game, but isn’t getting the respect he deserves as a pass blocker. He played well for years at West Virginia and would be a big upgrade at tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
The secondary for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been less than ideal over the past couple of seasons. With their second pick in this mock draft, they aim to fix that with Georgia cornerback DeAndre Baker. He’s got first-round talent, but his size hurts him some. Still, he’s a savvy defender who should be a long-time starter in the NFL.
40. Buffalo Bills: Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Buffalo added an offensive tackle in the first, which should help their young quarterback, Josh Allen, take the next step. Another way of helping him would be to improve the wide receivers, which is where Deebo Samuel comes in. Samuel may be lacking in size, but he’s a big play waiting to happen. He showed that during the Senior Bowl as he was simply un-coverable. With Buffalo, he provides a security outlet as a slot receiver, but also a player who can score on any snap.
