2019 NFL Draft: 10 Players who will get drafted too high

4. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri

The quarterback class is slim. There are some signal callers who’ll get drafted higher than they should be and Missouri’s Drew Lock is one of two quarterbacks on the list who’ll get drafted too early.

What teams love about Lock is obvious. He’s a strong-arm quarterback with enough athleticism to make throws outside the pocket. But the bugaboo is that he’s not very accurate. Over the course of his four-year career, Lock completed just 57 percent of his passes. Lock has similarities with Jay Cutler, which isn’t horrible, but it’s just not worthy of him being selected inside the top 10. Somewhere in the mid-to-late first round is a better draft position for him.

3. Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

Teams looking for a defensive tackle will find one. The class is loaded with talented guys that can contribute right away. Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is one of them. Who doesn’t want a guy that can help anchor against the run? Lawrence is an excellent fit inside next to a three-technique or at nose tackle in a 3-4. He has the size at 6-4, 342 pounds to go with great strength.

Lawrence can stack and shed, and does a great job reading and reacting. And that’s pretty much all he does. If Vita Vea and Danny Shelton have taught us anything, it’s not to draft a nose tackle in the first round.

As a pass rusher, Lawrence has potential as a power guy, but he’s not there yet. While he does have some athleticism it’s not enough to warrant a first-round pick. In fact, at Clemson, he didn’t prove he could make any plays in the backfield. He finished his college career with 9.5 tackles for loss and just 3.5 sacks. Lawrence is a day one starter for some team, but he’s not a top 25 picks because of his limitations.
