2019 NFL Mock Draft: Jets have edge, Browns get defensive in two-round projection
By Randy Gurzi
45. Atlanta Falcons: Elgton Jenkins, OC/G, Mississippi State
One area of trouble for the past two seasons for the Atlanta Falcons has been their play at guard. They try and fix that with Mississippi State’s ELgton Jenkins. He can take over at right guard and can one day slide to center should Alex Mack ever decline or move on. Either way, the former Bulldog is a big fix to issues up front in Atlanta.
46. Washington Redskins: J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
The wide receivers in Washington haven’t lived up to expectations as of late. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside showed plenty of potential for the Stanford Cardinals and could be good option opposite Paul Richardson as they try to finally build a competent corps.
47. Carolina Panthers: Tre Lamar, LB, Clemson
The depth at linebacker was tested some in 2018 for the Carolina Panthers. Here, they look to the National Champions as a way to address this concern. Tre Lamar was all over the field last season and finished with 79 tackles and three sacks. He declared early and could become a solid playmaker for Carolina.
48. Miami Dolphins: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia
All signs point to the Miami Dolphins moving on from Ryan Tannehill under center. Should they do this, someone like Will Grier could be a decent replacement. He showed a lot of poise and maturity during his career at West Virginia and should do the same in the pros.
