2019 NFL Mock Draft: Jets have edge, Browns get defensive in two-round projection
By Randy Gurzi
41. Denver Broncos: David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin
After landing Joe Flacco, the Broncos will need to make sure they give him time to throw the ball. They addressed tackle recently in the draft with Garett Bolles, but can use another option opposite him. Enter David Edwards out of Wisconsin. Edwards could be forced to slide inside as well, but either way, he fills a need for Denver.
42. Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
A.J. Green is getting up there in age and Tyler Boyd is a free agent. The Bengals need to start bringing in some new receivers and this new coaching staff can admit John Ross was a bad pick. A.J. Brown has what it takes to develop into a go-to guy for them as they make this transition.
43. Detroit Lions: Zach Allen, DT/DE, Boston College
There’s a good chance that Ezekiel Ansah will be gone this offseason and the Lions decide to try and replace him with Zach Allen. The former Boston College defensive lineman can play both end and tackle and is a complete player, although his ability as a run stuffer is superior to his pass rushing at this point.
44. Green Bay Packers: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida
After trading away Ha Ha Clinton-Dix last season, the Green Bay Packers need to add some more depth back there. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson could be a great fit for them. The former Florida Gator recorded nine interceptions in three seasons and is a willing tackler, while also showing tremendous overall improvement during his final season in Gainesville.
