Two days of the 2019 NFL Draft are in the books, and we've seen plenty of surprises, including an amazing 18 trades Friday on Day 2. While I'm always a fan of trading in mock drafts, you're not going to find them here. Instead, you'll see how I think Round 4 of the draft could unfold.
I hit the Cardinals' pick of Byron Murphy at No. 33 in my Day 2 mock draft; will I be as lucky here? With the Cardinals ignoring the offensive line so far, I think I have a shot at least getting the position right. You'll also see where receivers Hakeem Butler and Kelvin Harmon finally land, as well as which two teams add quarterbacks. Hint: One is a perennial Super Bowl contender.
Be sure to join us at CBS Sports HQ for our live coverage of the NFL Draft on Saturday. We'll break down all the picks and trades as they happen, with grades, analysis and plenty more. If you'd rather watch on mobile or a connected device, you can download the CBS Sports app.
It's been a fun ride mocking with you through the 2019 draft season. I can't wait to get started on 2020. Let's close this thing out with a bang.
NFL Mock Draft
Round 4
Round 4 - Pick 1 (103)
The Cardinals have been busy, but one thing they haven't done is reinforce their offensive line. I expect that to be a priority on Day 3, and Benzschawel makes sense as someone that can come in and compete at guard immediately.

Round 4 - Pick 2 (104)
I thought Gardner-Johnson was a fringe first-round talent, so consider me shocked he's still available here. The 49ers should target secondary help with this pick, and Gardner-Johnson has potential at either corner or free safety.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 3 (105)
Oruwariye is a solid corner that I thought was on the Round 2/3 fringe, and he'd be a good get for the Jets at a position of need.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 4 (106)
One spot the Raiders haven't addressed yet is at linebacker, where they'll want to get some young talent in the building on Day 3. Joseph is the best guy left at the position after three rounds.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 5 (107)
The Bucs made the secondary their major focus of Day 2 after taking a linebacker fifth overall, but at some point Bruce Arians will want an offensive player. Some think Butler is the top receiver in the draft, so this is awesome value here.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 6 (108)
The Giants picked up edge rush help late in Round 3, and with no tackle worth this pick left on the board, they take a guy who was at one point considered a first-round prospect. He'll fill a big need at inside linebacker.
| |||||||
From
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 4 - Pick 7 (109)
The Raiders got their new stud edge rusher at No. 4, but they need to improve the depth on the edge as well. Jackson should be a solid fit for Paul Guenther's defense in a complementary role.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 8 (110)
The Bengals had to take a linebacker on Day 2 and did, but I think they could double up at the position with a good interior option in Coney.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 9 (111)
| |||||||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 4 - Pick 10 (112)
Thompson saw his stock fall late last year and didn't even manage to crack Day 2, but that benefits Washington here as they continue to make their defense Alabama North.
| |||||||
From
Denver Broncos
Round 4 - Pick 11 (113)
| |||||||
From
Green Bay Packers
Round 4 - Pick 12 (114)
The Seahawks added edge rush help in Round 1, but all that did was patch a Frank Clark-sized hole. They still needed help at the position even with Clark, so they should look for quality DEs early on Day 3.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 13 (115)
The Panthers also double up at edge rusher with someone who can bring versatility to the table when the team wants to employ 3-4 looks.
| |||||||
From
Miami Dolphins
Round 4 - Pick 14 (116)
The sheer number of quality corners available on Day 2 means someone was destined to fall, and it ended up being Love. He can push for an immediate role in New Orleans.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 15 (117)
The Falcons went with two O-lineman in Round 1 and didn't have a Day 2 pick, so they've done nothing to address their defensive needs. Crosby has a shot to develop into a starter with the right tutelage.
| |||||||
From
Seattle Seahawks
Round 4 - Pick 16 (118)
There was some buzz surrounding Cashman after the combine that I thought could push him into Day 2, but instead the Patriots scoop him up after missing out on Jahlani Tavai.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 17 (119)
The Browns are in a good spot to land a Day 2 talent that's slid, and I can see them wanting one more receiver even after adding Odell Beckham. Harmon could have easily been taken in Round 2 without anyone blasting the pick.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 18 (120)
The Vikings have made offense their priority so far, but I think that changes here. Hanks is a guy they've shown plenty of interest in, and he could compete for playing time immediately in the weakside role.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 19 (121)
Like Love, Johnson was squeezed out of the picture in Day 2 though he has the talent worthy of being a top-100 pick. I thought the Titans would address the corner position with that big group of guys in Round 2, but this would be even better.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 20 (122)
I was surprised Omenihu wasn't a Day 2 selection, and while I don't think he fits the traditional edge rusher role in Pittsburgh, they have shown interest in him and likely have plans for his best fit if they can get him.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 21 (123)
The Ravens were in play for some offensive line help in Round 1, but they have yet to address the issue. Gaillard could carve out a role at guard or center.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 22 (124)
Moreau could have some untapped potential if used correctly in the passing game, and the Seahawks should be looking to upgrade the tight end position in this round.
| |||||||
From
Denver Broncos
Round 4 - Pick 23 (125)
I don't think Finley is coming in and unseating Andy Dalton immediately, but the Bengals need to do better than Jeff Driskel as the QB2. They had Finley in for a workout so the interest is presumably there.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 24 (126)
The last team to make their first pick, the Bears jumped for a running back when the position presented good value in Round 3. I'd be shocked if they don't focus on defense from here on out, starting with this sleeper small-school corner.
| |||||||
From
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 4 - Pick 25 (127)
The Ravens already took two receivers, but did you see their depth chart at the position coming into the draft? I'd keep loading up if one of the Day 2 talents makes it to them with this pick.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 26 (128)
I thought the Cowboys would go safety with their first pick considering the talent on the board, but if they're fortunate enough to land a guy as talented as Hooker here, it should be considered a success.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 27 (129)
The Colts have done a great job addressing their biggest needs so far, but one spot I'd like to see them upgrade is the interior of the defensive line. Wren is a fringe Day 2 talent, so the value is there with this pick.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 28 (130)
 
Corey Ballentine
CB
NFL Draft
• 6'0"
/ 204 lbs
Quarterback could be an option here, but the Chargers should be looking for more help at corner to give Casey Hayward some help. Ballentine might be from a small school but has done enough to be drafted in the middle rounds.
| |||||||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 4 - Pick 29 (131)
 
Michael Jordan
OL
Ohio State
• Jr
• 6'6"
/ 312 lbs
One spot I thought the Redskins would address by now is the interior of the offensive line, and with Dwayne Haskins' college teammate is a nice value here, this pick makes too much sense.
| |||||||
From
New York Giants
Round 4 - Pick 30 (132)
All the wheeling and dealing has given the Seahawks three fourth-round picks, so they could wind up solidifying the depth on their roster early in the day. Willis is too talented to slip any further than this.
| |||||||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 4 - Pick 31 (133)
The Patriots get their developmental project at quarterback in Stidham, who will either win multiple Super Bowls or get traded for a great return on this pick once Tom Brady commits to playing until 50.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 32 (134)
Keke has drawn enough interest around the league that I could see him going earlier than expected, and the Patriots aren't really worried with the consensus perception anyway.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 33 (135)
Weber raised his profile at the combine by looking smooth through all the drills, and with the Colts knocking most of their other needs out, they can take a chance on him here.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 34 (136)
Hall is a major downfield threat (check out that yards per reception number above) who the Cowboys had in for a private visit. If he's still around at this point, he's a great value for Dallas.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 35 (137)
The Falcons took a defensive end earlier in the round, but that doesn't mean they can't come back for another here and hope one turns into a locked-in starter for the team.
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 36 (138)
The Eagles lost Jordan Hicks during the offseason and should be on the lookout for a mid-rounder they could develop into a starter.
