    *** 2019 NFL MOCK DRAFT (3 rounds) updated Dec. 6. This mock draft will be updated occasionally. Check out old versions of this 2019 NFL Mock Draft in the archived mock section. Follow @walterfootball for NFL Draft updates. ***


  1. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
    The Giants and Raiders may have prevailed in meaningless games recently, but the true winner has been San Francisco. The 49ers can now hold an auction for Justin Herbert in an attempt to acquire more early-round selections. We know John Lynch loves to wheel and deal, so I’d have to believe that he gets something done.

    I’ll project some trades in the future, but for now, let’s assume there aren’t any deals. If the 49ers are on the clock, and Nick Bosa is available, it’s almost a lock that they’ll pick him. San Francisco struggles to pressure the quarterback consistently, and Bosa would fix that.

    Bosa has a tremendous skill set, and he was off to a great start in 2018 before injuring his knee. He should still be a top-five pick.

  2. Oakland Raiders: Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
    Oakland’s top need is edge rusher, but the defensive tackles available at this juncture are better prospects, so I don’t see the Raiders eschewing one of those. Oakland has some quality interior defensive linemen, but none of them are elite studs like someone they can select third overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.

    Quinnen Williams had a breakout performance this season, and sources Charlie Campbell spoke to believe he’ll be a high first-round pick.

    Pick change; previously Clelin Ferrell, DE

  3. New York Jets: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
    The Jets don’t need a five-technique, but that was also the case when they drafted Leonard Williams, given that they had Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson on the roster. You can never wrong going with the top option on the board.

    Derrick Brown has great size (6-5, 316) and tons of upside. He can be a great interior disruptor if he lives up to his potential.



  4. Arizona Cardinals: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
    The Cardinals failed to secure a replacement for Calais Campbell yet again this past offseason, but I have to believe that general manager Steve Keim is well aware of how loaded the 2019 NFL Draft class is of defensive linemen. As bad as Arizona needs blockers for Josh Rosen, it won’t be able to pass up on one of the four stud defensive tackles.

    Ed Oliver was a highly productive defensive lineman for Houston, recording a ridiculous 22.5 TFLs as a freshman. He was a monster this season before getting hurt and currently projects to be a top-five pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously Quinnen Williams, DT

  5. Detroit Lions: Devin White, LB, LSU
    The Lions have one of the worst linebacking corps in the NFL. They can’t cover anyone over the middle of the field. They need to add a player who can become the leader of their defensive unit at the position. If they do so, perhaps they’ll finally be able to compete with some of the top teams in their division.

    Devin White was extremely productive this past season, logging 133 tackles. A projected running back, White is still learning the position, which is crazy considering how great he was in 2017. White is already generating a buzz for the 2019 NFL Draft, as Charlie Campbell reported in the NFL Hot Press.



  6. Atlanta Falcons: Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State
    The Falcons were expected to address their defensive line during the draft, but the spend too much energy doing it. They’ll need to make amends for that next spring.

    Jeffrey Simmons is an extremely disruptive interior force, but was found guilty of simple assault charges. He could be a top-five pick if teams are fine with his off-the-field issues, as he has an amazing blend of power and athleticism.

    Pick change; previously Ed Oliver, DT

  7. New York Giants: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
    It’s extremely unlikely that the Giants will land the top quarterback prospect in the class at No. 7 overall. Some team will trade up for him. Perhaps New York will do it. If so, the Giants will certainly pay the price for not benching Eli Manning during the bye week, as they should have.

    Giants ownership pushed for a quarterback prior to the 2018 NFL Draft, but general manager David Gettleman opted for Saquon Barkley instead. After what has transpired this year, I can’t imagine Gettleman going against ownership’s wishes again.

    Justin Herbert played in just eight games last year, but has some major potential. He was accurate, completing 67 percent of his passes, and he also has nice size at 6-6, 225. He had a monster game versus Stanford and appears to now be the consensus top quarterback in this class. There’s been talk that Herbert will go back to school, but it’s still early in the process, and he still has time to make the correct decision.



  8. Buffalo Bills: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
    The Bills absolutely need to improve Josh Allen’s protection and receiving talent. It could be argued that Buffalo has the worst offensive line in the NFL.

    Jawaan Taylor has some great feet for his size (6-5, 340) and could emerge as the first tackle off the board.

    Pick change; previously Greg Little, OT

  9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
    The Jaguars need a franchise quarterback, as it’s obvious that they need to move on from Blake Bortles. But who knows, maybe they’ll give Bortles another extension this summer. If not, this would make sense.

    Dwayne Haskins has a tremendous skill set, but is not a finished product at the moment. He should return to school, but figures to be a top-20 pick if he declares.

    Pick change; previously Drew Lock, QB



  10. Green Bay Packers: Josh Allen, DE/LB, Kentucky
    The Packers are desperate for defensive help almost everywhere, so it makes sense for them to target a talented defender who can play almost anywhere.

    Josh Allen has great size, speed and athleticism, and he also has the versatility to play multiple positions. He’s compared to as a hybrid of Leonard Floyd and Zach Cunningham, as he can play in coverage and also rush the quarterback effectively on the edge.

    Pick change; previously Jeffery Simmons, DE/DT

  11. Cleveland Browns: Raekwon Davis, DE/DT, Alabama
    The Browns have a strong defensive line, but they could use an interior player who can generate a heavy pass rush and help stop the run. This would take their defensive front over the top.

    Raekwon Davis had a dominant performance in the national championship to cap off his excellent 2017 season in which he logged 8.5 sacks.

  12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DeAndre Baker, CB, Georgia
    The Buccaneers’ issues at cornerback are well publicized. They’ve been torched by nearly every quarterback this year, which is a problem, given that they share a division with Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton.

    DeAndre Baker had a terrific 2017 campaign, showing great athleticism. He’s been great this season as well, especially against LSU.

  13. Cincinnati Bengals: Albert Okwuegbunan, TE, Missouri
    “It’s unclear how long Tyler Eifert will last before suffering his next injury. If he gets hurt again, here’s a replacement.” I literally wrote that the week before the season-ending injury. Poor Eifert.

    The athletic Albert Okwuegbunan had a coming-out party against Georgia and should be the first tight end off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft.

  14. Miami Dolphins: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
    The Dolphins lost Ndamukong Suh last offseason, so they’ll need to find someone who can replace half of what he did in the defensive interior.

    Dexter Lawrence is a monster of a defensive tackle (6-5, 340) and is exceptional at both stuffing the run and pressuring the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Christian Wilkins, DT

  15. Indianapolis Colts: Rashan Gary, DE/DT, Michigan
    The Colts, once again, should target the best player on their board. This time, they can focus on their defensive front, which I believe they would have done had Bradley Chubb been available.

    Rashan Gary is an athletic freak. He wasn’t extremely productive as a freshman, but he recorded five sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2017. His teammates believe he’ll be a top-10 pick.



  16. Washington Redskins: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
    The Redskins need to figure out their quarterbacking situation. Alex Smith may never play again, while Colt McCoy clearly isn’t the long-term answer. They’ll have to think about spending their first-round pick on a potential franchise signal-caller.

    Drew Lock has a great arm and can make any throw, but he really needs to work on his field vision and accuracy. He should probably be taken in the second round, but we’ve seen teams reach for quarterbacks over the years.

    Pick change; previously Montez Sweat, DE/OLB
