The 2019 NFL Draft is just a few days away, and what better way to celebrate the league's biggest offseason spectacle than with a seven-round mock draft? In this version, we have a big surprise near the top and it doesn't involve Kyler Murray. Instead, the Raiders, who desperately need a pass rusher after trading Khalil Mack, take Michigan's Rashan Gary with the fourth-overall pick, even with Quinnen Williams on the board. Gary's a height/weight/speed freak who was miscast in Ann Arbor. And if Oakland can tap into his skills, he could be special.
In other developments, Drew Lock goes before Dwayne Haskins; Daniel Jones sneaks into the top 15, and the Patriots find a big target at the end of Round 1 to help replace Rob Gronkowski's productivity. In subsequent rounds, the Chiefs stock up on shifty playmakers, the Giants get a downfield playmaker, the Patriots get a quarterback and the Steelers get one of the fastest players in the entire class.

Alright, let's get to all 254 selections.
Jump to a specific round in the mock draft
NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
Another week and Murray remains the No. 1 pick. The Cardinals very well may stick with Josh Rosen and target other needs, but right now the former Oklahoma star and Heisman Trophy winner is Arizona's latest franchise quarterback.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 2
This is the best-case scenario for the 49ers, who desperately need a pass rusher and get the best one in this class. Bosa is a game-changer from Day 1.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 3
Josh Allen had a fantastic senior season as well as a strong combine and remains one of the best edge rushers in this class. With needs at edge rusher for the Jets, this is a no-brainer.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 4
Stick with us here. Gary busted out a 4.58 40 at the combine, confirming his status as a freakish athlete among some of the most freakishly athletic players on the planet. Yes, it would be hard for the Raiders to pass on Quinnen Williams here, but in terms of height/weight/speed, Gary checks every box. He can play anywhere on the defensive line but his quickness as an edge rusher could make him unblockable at the next level.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 5
Williams is a monster. He dominated just about every snap during the 2018 season and he came to the combine and dominated there too, blazing a 4.83 40-yard dash, which only confirms what we already knew: His physical abilities are off the charts, and he's not only a legit top-five talent, he has an argument as the top-overall pick. Yes, the Buccaneers drafted Vita Vea a year ago but Gerald McCoy is 31 years old and will count roughly $13 million against the cap in each of the next three years.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 6
If the Giants are truly insistent on rolling with 38-year-old Eli Manning one more year, they have to protect him. They signed Nate Solder to play left tackle last offseason and now they get the best tackle in this draft, Jawaan Taylor, to play the right side. He's a monster in the run game and was rarely fooled in pass protection last season.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Sweat has a pre-existing heart condition, and it's unclear how it might affect his draft stock. If NFL teams clear Sweat, who dominated the Senior Bowl and the combine (the man ran a 4.41, which is faster than Julio Jones, Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown), he will be an impact player.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 8
After signing Trey Flowers and Danny Amendola, the transformation to Patriots Midwest continues with Hockenson, who has drawn comparisons to Rob Gronkowski. He reminds us more of Travis Kelce, but either way, a legit target for Matthew Stafford (Jesse James was added this offseason, but he's more of a blocking tight end than downfield threat).
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 9
It's been popular to have the Bills target a defensive lineman here but offensive line makes a lot of sense too with second-year quarterback Josh Allen. Dillard is the best pass-blocking tackle in this draft and Allen was sacked 28 times in 12 games as a rookie.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 10
John Elway has reportedly been smitten with Lock since the fall. After back-to-back losing seasons, Elway hopes he's finally found his long-term franchise quarterback.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 11
The Bengals' defense was exposed repeatedly in 2018, and inconsistent linebacker play was a big part of that. Vontaze Burfict, considered one of the most tenacious players in the league just a few years ago, is now in Oakland. White is one of the most dynamic players in the draft. He's a sideline-to-sideline thumper who would immediately solidify the middle of the defense, making life easier for both the front four and the secondary.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Burns played at 235 pounds last season but showed up at the combine at 249. He quickly alleviated questions about how that weight would affect his speed by blazing a 4.53 40-yard dash. He reminds us of Aldon Smith on the field and the Packers would gladly welcome that production.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 13
The Dolphins need a quarterback, and at this stage of the proceedings Ryan Fitzpatrick is better served as a short-term starter. Haskins had a fantastic 2018 season, completing 70 percent of his passes and throwing 50 touchdowns. He's the No. 1 quarterback on our board and would save Miami having to answer questions about "Tanking for Tua."
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Oliver is a top-five talent but he's been out of sight, out of mind since early in the college football season. It's not his fault, but other players have flashed in the meantime and that allows the Falcons to land Oliver, who will be a 3-technique terror in the NFL.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Is this too high for Jones? Maybe, but NFL teams seem to be higher on him than the media. He'll give Washington a much-needed franchise quarterback who is as close as you're going to get to Eli Manning in this draft class (he played for David Cutcliffe at Duke).
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Williams, who is coming off an impressive 2018 season, can play right tackle in the NFL and even kick inside to guard, if needed, and possibly even center.
| |||||||
From
Cleveland Browns
Round 1 - Pick 17
Ferrell was arguably the best player on Clemson's defensive line chock full of first-round talent. He racked up 11.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss last season for the Tigers, and the Giants have a gaping need for edge rushers after shipping Olivier Vernon to the Browns this offseason.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 18
Kirk Cousins had an uneven debut season for the Vikings. And while he deserved some of the blame, Minnesota's porous offensive line did him no favors. Ford is coming off a strong season for the Sooners and he'll be a welcome addition to an O-line that wasn't even replacement level in '18.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Brown suffered a Lisfranc injury in February but he should be ready to go by training camp. He's a game-changing talent, which would be welcome news for Marcus Mariota.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 20
The Steelers need help at edge rusher and cornerback but if Bush, with his 4.44 40, is still on the board, they have to take him. He has sideline-to-sideline speed and can wreak havoc in the run game, rush the passer, and smoothly drop into coverage.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Wilkins returned for his senior season at Clemson, and it turned out to be his best. In addition to helping the Tigers to a national title, Wilkins set career bests in sacks (5.5) and tackles for loss (14.0). He's one of the most versatile players in this draft class.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 22
Metcalf, who blazed a 4.33 40-yard dash time at the combine, has game-changing talent. He would add another dimension to the Ravens' run-heavy offense.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 23
Here's the question Williams will have to answer: Is he willing to tackle? Because he didn't always do that at LSU. But when he's focused to putting his athleticism to work, there's no better cornerback in this draft. The Texans cut former first-rounder Kevin Johnson and let Kareem Jackson leave in free agency.
| |||||||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 1 - Pick 24
A former wide receiver, Layne (6-foot-1, 4.5 40 at the combine) is a physical cornerback with exceptional ball skills who would immediately upgrade Oakland's secondary.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 25
After the 2017 season there were questions about Gardner-Johnson's tackling ability, but he proved he's more than capable in '18, and his coverage ability makes him an attractive option for the Eagles.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 26
We love this pick. Matt Eberflus transformed the Colts into a good defense in 2018. To go from good to great, Indy needs to add a few more pieces. Tillery was dominant at times last season, and if he can play with more consistency he could end up being one of the biggest surprises of this class.
| |||||||
From
Dallas Cowboys
Round 1 - Pick 27
Edge rusher and cornerback have been addressed with the first two first-rounders. Antonio Brown was acquired via trade to elevate the receiver group, and Fant replaces the lost production of Jared Cook, who led the team in receiving last season.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Lindstrom, one of the best offensive linemen in this class, is coming off a strong season for the Eagles and he would be a huge upgrade along the interior line for the Chargers.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Murphy didn't run well at the combine, but NFL teams loved his drill work. And while he may be undersized, he is a tenacious defender, something this Chiefs' secondary lacked a season ago.
| |||||||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 1 - Pick 30
Risner was one of the best college right tackles last season, and he did nothing to change that assessment with solid performances at the Senior Bowl and the combine. He'll likely make his living as an interior linemen in the NFL, but his versatility will serve him well in Green Bay.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 31
Simmons is a top-10 talent. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in February, which means he won't be healthy until midway through the season, best case. But when he returns, the Rams will have a dominant young player in the middle of their defense.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Brown is a "big" slot receiver who played alongside D.K. Metcalf in college. Tough after the catch, Brown has big-play ability and will give Tom Brady a big-catch-radius player in the middle of the field in this new Post-Gronk.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 2
Round 2 - Pick 1 (33)
The Cardinals, who have a new franchise quarterback, need to upgrade the interior line. McCoy is the second-best center in this class who can also play guard in the NFL.
| |||||||
From
New York Jets
Round 2 - Pick 2 (34)
Harry can be dominant at times but questions about his deep speed and ability to separate could see him fall out of Round 1. Either way, he won't be the only show in town in Indy, where he'll join T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron and Andrew Luck.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 3 (35)
One more weapon for Derek Carr. Jacobs is the best running back in this class and will also be a weapon in the passing game. The Raiders' offensive makeover continues.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 4 (36)
Harmon ran a pedestrian 4.60 40 at the combine but he remains one of the best wideouts in this class. Just watch his tape for the Wolfpack last season for verification. He's a precise route runner who can make contested catches at every level of the defense.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 5 (37)
A physical corner who played just one year at Temple, Ya-Sin had a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and combine.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 6 (38)
Cajuste was great as Will Grier's blindside protector and could play either tackle or guard at the next level.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 7 (39)
Oruwariye is a long, physical corner who tested well at the combine but didn't have as strong a Senior Bowl as he would've liked. But he's only going to get better and the Bucs add secondary depth in Round 2.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 8 (40)
At 340 pounds, there are questions about whether Lawrence is a three-down player. But don't be fooled by his size because his athleticism is eye-popping. Buffalo gets their middle-of-the-DL anchor a round after getting a franchise left tackle.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 9 (41)
Bradbury ran a 4.93 40 at the combine -- he's a center! -- and he was already the best interior lineman in the class.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 10 (42)
Tyler Eifert re-signed, but how healthy is he? Smith gives the offense a reliable middle-of-the-field target in Round 2 in Zac Taylor's new offense.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 11 (43)
Rapp can play anywhere on the field, and that versatility will make him an integral part of the Lions' secondary from the moment he's drafted.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 12 (44)
Adderley is a converted cornerback who can cover in the slot or play centerfield. His athleticism makes him a great fit in Green Bay's defense.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 13 (45)
Winovich's nonstop motor, great hand usage and quickness will give the Falcons much-needed depth at edge rusher.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 14 (46)
At 6-foot-5, Butler is a first-round talent with a huge catch radius who can use his size and speed to stretch the field for the Redskins, who drafted Daniel Jones in Round 1.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 15 (47)
Thornhill had a quietly effective 2018 campaign, and he used the combine as an exclamation point on the season. He ran a 4.42 40 and had a 44-inch vertical, and that, coupled with his game film, could see him sneak into Round 1.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 16 (48)
A right tackle at Washington, McGary has a lot of the tools NFL teams covet but he needs to play with more consistency. He could also move inside to guard at the next level.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 17 (49)
Baker is only 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, but he faced off against the best best wideouts in the country and rarely lost. He's not as athletic as Greedy Williams but he's a more consistent playmaker.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 18 (50)
At the Senior Bowl, Omenihu described himself as "a bigger version of Chandler Jones." Can't imagine many teams wouldn't be interested in that type of talent.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 19 (51)
Collier isn't a quick-twitch edge rusher but he can control the line of scrimmage with his strength, good hand usage, and non-stop motor.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 20 (52)
Savage, who can play deep centerfield or line up in the slot, is an athletic freak who uses his speed to explode downhill in the run game and to cover a lot of ground on the back end.
| |||||||
From
Baltimore Ravens
Round 2 - Pick 21 (53)
Little was mentioned as a first-round prospect early in the college season but inconsistent efforts saw him fall out of that conversation. He didn't have a great combine either, but he can be a reliable starter if he can put it all together.
| |||||||
From
Seattle Seahawks
Round 2 - Pick 22 (54)
Jenkins can play both center and guard. Related: Deshaun Watson was sacked 62 times last season. SIXTY-TWO! The Texans have to improve the O-line.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 23 (55)
Montgomery is one of the most exciting players in this draft class but plays a position that has been devalued in recent years.
| |||||||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 2 - Pick 24 (56)
Sternberger is the latest name in a deep tight end class. He's not the blocker that Hockenson or Smith (or Rob Gronkowski, who retired this offseason) may be, but he's every bit as dynamic when it comes to stretching the field.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 25 (57)
His numbers are impressive -- 45 sacks in four seasons -- but Ferguson struggles to disengage from blocks and there are questions about his flexibility around the edge to get to the quarterback.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 26 (58)
Abram is a thumper and tone-setter who is more comfortable near the line of scrimmage than playing centerfield.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 27 (59)
Bunting, who had a strong combine, is a big, physical cornerback who excels in man coverage and has good ball skills.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 28 (60)
Wilson has seen his stock slip since the end of the college season, and he didn't test as well as the top linebackers in this draft class.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 29 (61)
Samuel is a four-down player who can line up anywhere. He'd be a lot of fun to watch in the Chiefs' offense.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 30 (62)
Campbell ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at the combine, and while not many of his routes were deep ones, he's a crafty underneath technician who would likely find plenty of success in the Saints' system.
| |||||||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 2 - Pick 31 (63)
Banogu is a bendy, athletic pass rusher who can set the edge in the run game and has the quickness and strength to get after the quarterback in passing situations.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 32 (64)
Allen isn't a quick-twitch pass rusher but he can control the line of scrimmage with his strength. The Boston College product uses his hands to beat blockers and shows a nonstop motor.
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 3
Round 3 - Pick 1 (65)
Mullen had a fantastic national title game against Alabama but his 2018 tape was up and down. He looks like an NFL cornerback, but he needs to play with more consistency.
| |||||||
From
Oakland Raiders
Round 3 - Pick 2 (66)
Isabella may look like a slot receiver but he can line up anywhere and outrun anybody.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 3 (67)
Johnson is a tall, physical corner who is still growing into the position.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 4 (68)
Love, who excels in coverage, is undersized but tenacious. He's not afraid to make plays in the running game but size can be an issue when tackling bigger backs.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 5 (69)
Can Leonard Fournette get back on track? Sanders, meanwhile, sat behind Saquon Barkley in 2017 but rushed for 1,274 yards last season (5.8 YPC) with nine touchdowns. He's also a threat in the passing game.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 6 (70)
Polite is a first-round talent who saw his stock plummet during pre-draft workouts. He's an athletic pass rusher, but can Bruce Arians and the Bucs get the most out of him?
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 7 (71)
Wren is short in experience but long on strength and athleticism and benefited from a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 8 (72)
Grier had a impressive career at West Virginia but questions about inconsistency and arm strength see him fall to Round 3.
| |||||||
From
Detroit Lions
Round 3 - Pick 9 (73)
Cashman brings his athleticism, playmaking ability and high football IQ to Foxborough.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 10 (74)
A long, physical corner who has had a strong pre-draft season and will match up well against bigger NFL receivers.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 11 (75)
Arcega-Whiteside is a red-zone threat from Day 1. Questions about his deep speed were answered at his pro day (he ran a 4.449 40), and he uses his size to his advantage and excels at making contested catches.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 12 (76)
Samia played on one of the best offensive lines in the country last season, and he'll upgrade the interior of the O-line in Washington.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 13 (77)
 
Oshane Ximines
DE
Old Dominion
• 5
• 6'4"
/ 254 lbs
Ximines may be slightly undersized by edge rusher standards but he makes up for size with quickness. He followed up a strong season at Old Dominion with a good showing at the Senior Bowl.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 14 (78)
Deiter can play tackle, guard or center and that versatility will prove beneficial in Miami.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 15 (79)
Henderson is a one-cut-and-go runner who puts foot in ground and gets north-south. He's tough to bring down -- even by much bigger defenders -- and averaged 8.9 yards per carry his last two seasons for Memphis.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 16 (80)
Thompson is a rangy free safety who has impressive ball skills but a poor finish to the college season saw his draft stock slip.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 17 (81)
Hall was Drew Lock's favorite target at Missouri and was one of the fastest wide receivers in college football last season. He struggles with consistency but when he's on he's hard to stop.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 18 (82)
Knox, who was underutilized at Ole Miss, has off-the-charts athleticism.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 19 (83)
At 5-foot-10, Long may be undersized, but he's a physical cornerback who routinely showed the ability to match up against bigger wide receivers last season.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 20 (84)
One of the smartest players on the field, Hooker can play in the slot or deep centerfield, excels in run support and is a ball hawk -- he had four interceptions and seven passes defended in 2018.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 21 (85)
A shoulder injury prevented him from taking part in predraft workouts but Tavai shows speed and athleticism on tape, explodes downhill to fill holes in run game, is a solid tackler and is smooth in coverage.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 22 (86)
McLaurin, who had an impressive Senior Bowl and combine (where he blazed a 4.35 40 time), regularly wins at the line of scrimmage and has the ability to be a big YAC player (he averaged 20 yards a reception last season).
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 23 (87)
Davis played RT in college but will most likely move to guard in the NFL. Davis uses strength to control the line of scrimmage and has the athleticism to pull and get to second level with ease. Plays with an edge but will need time to grow into role.
| |||||||
From
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 3 - Pick 24 (88)
One of the most physical cornerbacks in the draft class, Dean suffered multiple knee injuries and that, more than his on-field abilities, could suppress his draft stock.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 25 (89)
A converted safety, Pratt is still learning the position. He put up impressive numbers at the combine but that speed and flexibility didn't always translate on tape.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 26 (90)
Jones shows unique quickness for his size but sometimes struggles to disengage from blocks.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 27 (91)
The Chargers need to bolster the right side of their line; Edwards needs to improve as a pass blocker but he excelled as a run blocker at Wisconsin.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 28 (92)
Singletary runs bigger than his 5-foot-9, 200-pound frame. He has a wicked jump-step to force misses, especially in the backfield, and uses subtle side-steps effectively in small spaces. He's tough to bring down one-on-one, and don't even think about trying to tackle him high.
| |||||||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 3 - Pick 29 (93)
Powers played on one of the best offensive lines in college football last season, and he'd add depth to the interior line in New York.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 30 (94)
Long is undersized, but he plays with a low center, strength and speed. He has a nose for the ball, and when he knows where to go, he's unstoppable.
| |||||||
From
New England Patriots
Round 3 - Pick 31 (95)
Boykin blew up the combine with a 4.42 40 and a 42.5-inch vertical but is extremely raw. He doesn't play as fast as he timed, but in the right system Boykin can grow into a consistent deep threat.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 32 (96)
Walker was 6-foot-2, 251 pounds at the combine but he probably played below that weight at Georgia last season. Still, great hand usage and strength allows him to win against bigger offensive linemen.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 33 (97)
Thick, compactly built and athletic, Saunders is a pocket collapser who excelled at the FCS level.
| |||||||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 3 - Pick 34 (98)
Ridley didn't test well at the combine but he's a fantastic route runner who was underutilized at Georgia.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 35 (99)
Miller had eight sacks and 11 tackles for loss during the 2018 season and he would give the Ravens a much-needed pass rusher after losing Terrell Suggs and Za'Darius Smith in free agency.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 36 (100)
Jackson is 6-foot-7, can throw the ball a mile and is a fantastic athlete (he ran a 4.59 at the combine). But he lacks experience and while there is a lot to like about his game, he'll need a year or two on the bench at the next level.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 37 (101)
Finley is the best anticipation thrower in this class and has a great feel for identifying options based on defense. He processes information quickly, which he needs to do because of lack of elite arm strength.
| |||||||
Round 3 - Pick 38 (102)
Harris is a one-cut runner who can turn it up a gear once he gets past the line of scrimmage. He's solid in pass protection and can contribute as a pass catcher.

NFL Mock Draft
Round 4
Round 4 - Pick 1 (103)
Scouting report: Raymond shows good hands and the ability to pluck the ball out of the air in traffic, though he needs to work on his blocking. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 2 (104)
Scouting report: Mack is a thick, talented mover for being 320-ish pounds. He has a stupidly strong bull rush and, as a senior, was freed from eating double teams at the nose tackle spot and flourished. Not a ton of pass rush from him, but he will push the pocket. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 3 (105)
Scouting report: He's one of the best route-runners in this draft class who excels at contested catches and is an under-the-radar deep threat (he ranked third in FBS last season with 17 deep pass receptions, according to Pro Football Focus). -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 4 (106)
Scouting report: Athletic-if-undersized linebacker who relies on his physical skills to get to the ball but needs to be a more consistent tackler. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 5 (107)
Scouting report: Tall, powerful guard with above-average athleticism who's coming off a season-ending injury. Can move people in the run game and anchors well in pass protection but too often his height hurts him against more compact defensive tackles. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 6 (108)
Scouting report: Quick off the ball and regularly disruptive backfield presence, Hill shows good hand usage to disengage from blockers and can shoot gaps with speed and strength. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 7 (109)
Scouting report: Extremely raw but athleticism jumps off the screen with Warring, who can play inline or in the slot. Will need time to grow into the position but has the potential to be a middle-of-the-field matchup nightmare. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 8 (110)
Scouting report: Howard is a raw, athletic prospect with tons of upside. He'll need a chance to grow into his position but his impressive showing during the Senior Bowl put him on NFL teams' radars. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 9 (111)
Scouting report: Takitaki attacks the line of scrimmage under control but with purpose in the run game and has athleticism to drop into coverage. Sometimes struggles to disengage from blocks is a physical, athletic inside linebacker who can also rush off the edge. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 10 (112)
Scouting report: At 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, Hill is stronger than he looks, and displays quick burst and acceleration. His breakaway game speed is confirmed by his 4.4 40-yard time at the combine. Rarely taken down by the first defender, he's great in small areas. Needs to be a better blocker. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Denver Broncos
Round 4 - Pick 11 (113)
Scouting report: Reliable, unspectacular guard with sound fundamentals, great balance, and good linear athleticism. Aware of stunts and delayed blitzes but can take an extra second to get to them. Not a people mover nor a space player but has a strong grip and an impressive back bend when anchoring. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 12 (114)
Scouting report: Coney shows patience near the line of scrimmage and doesn't overcommit on run plays. He can be decisive, then explosive to ball. He wasn't asked to do a lot in coverage in college and questions about his sideline-to-sideline ability, as well as his coverage skills, will be a concern for NFL teams. -- RW

Round 4 - Pick 13 (115)
Scouting report: Wesley is one of the lankiest receivers in his class at around 6-4 and 200 pounds. I love his concentration and seemingly effortless ability to make hand catches away from his body. He's a smooth mover too and has build-up speed downfield. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 14 (116)
Scouting report: Hardman is a linear rocket with moments that showcase good hands. There's kick/punt return value with him as well. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 15 (117)
Scouting report: Johnson is raw but will enter the NFL as a freaky size/speed/athleticism defensive back. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Washington Redskins
Round 4 - Pick 16 (118)
Scouting report: Looks like an NFL tight end but he's only adequate as a blocker and can be overwhelmed when blocking inline. Mack is a hands catcher with ability to pluck ball out of the air but also disappeared for long stretches with little/no impact during games last season. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 17 (119)
Scouting report: Evans has a decent amount of upper body strength but is a slow mover without refined hand work. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 18 (120)
Scouting report: Has a long way to go as a blocker. Lines up inline, as H-back and in slot, where he was used like a "big" slot receiver. Has off the charts athleticism but is raw and will need time to develop. Doesn't always get in and out of breaks crisply but shows big-play ability. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 19 (121)
Scouting report: Willis is a hand-in-the-dirt, interior defensive lineman. He has a quick first step and can sometimes be too quick and take himself out of plays. But that quickness makes it difficult for offensive linemen to block him. Consistency is Willis' biggest concern on the field. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 20 (122)
Scouting report: Nelson is a plus athlete who honed his pass-rushing moves in college and efficiently deploys his hands often. While he needs more strength to hold down a full-time gig on the edge, Nelson is a tall, long, advanced pass-rusher ready to outperform his draft status. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 21 (123)
Scouting report: Blair is a deep safety who explodes downhill on running plays and can be a disruptive force near the line of scrimmage. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 22 (124)
Scouting report: Mitchell flashed in every way possible: down the field, in space on underneath routes, and near the sidelines as a chain-mover. He's an ultra-flexible wideout with high-level juking ability to beat press at the line or leave defenders whiffing in the open field. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Houston Texans
Round 4 - Pick 23 (125)
Scouting report: Tranquill has more build-up speed than explosiveness in his movements but is an experienced coverage linebacker who'll be useful at the pro level. He's not a reliable tackler however and maybe be a liability against the run. Coverage specialty is very intriguing. - CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 24 (126)
Scouting report: Fields was a part-time player at Clemson yet made the most of his limited opportunities. Speedy feet, great awareness and awesome technique when attacking the football as it reaches its intended target make him a dark horse prospect. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 25 (127)
Scouting report: Smooth athlete who's very fast to the football without having to play out of control at what looks like maximum speed and twitchiness is there when changing directions. Efficient block-shedder/avoider and has the fluidity and speed to run with smaller H-back type tight ends or chase crossers. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 26 (128)
Scouting report: Heavy, strength-based defensive end with flashes of bend and active hands but not someone with adequate change-of-direction ability. Projects best as a strongside edge setter. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 27 (129)
Scouting report: A good blocker who can line up inline or out wide. He's a very fluid, smooth route runner who ran primarily underneath routes but has the ability to rack up big plays as well. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 28 (130)
Scouting report: Jackson is a physical cornerback who excels in press coverage. There are questions about his ability to get in and out of breaks but he can flourish in the right system. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 4 - Pick 29 (131)
Scouting report: Crosby is a long, angular, and at times, explosive edge rusher in need of much more power. Decent hand work too. -- CT
| |||||||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 4 - Pick 30 (132)
Scouting report: Stidham is a high-upside player who struggled last season at Auburn because his offensive line wasn't very good. When he has time, he's a good intermediate and deep-ball passer who also has the athleticism to make plays outside the pocket. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 31 (133)
Scouting report: Daley is adequately athletic and really knows how to use his hands to his advantage. Above-average run blocker too. Should start as a swing tackle but has starting upside. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 32 (134)
Scouting report: Girthy, strong defensive end/defensive tackle hybrid who's been on the NFL radar for a while but didn't improve much throughout his collegiate career. Good inside move but doesn't have the explosiveness or hand work to be a threatening pass rusher at the NFL level. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 33 (135)
Scouting report: Active, run-support specialist safety who's best when he can flow toward the line of scrimmage after the snap. Hips are a little stiff but his range is above-average, and because he's decently explosive, he can close on the ball in a hurry. Good No. 3 safety with starting upside. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 34 (136)
Scouting report: Nauta was a big recruit but failed to live up to expectations at Georgia. I don't think he's a liability in any area. I didn't see anything close to resembling a trump card to his game, although he can explode off the line as a receiver. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 35 (137)
Scouting report: Athletic, quick-twitch player with good change-of-direction skills. He can line up in middle, in the slot and can even set the edge in the run game. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 4 - Pick 36 (138)
Scouting report: Armstead is an authoritative back who gets to top speed quickly but doesn't have another gear in his arsenal to hit big-gainers. His feet are impressive at times. He's not that elusive in space, and despite his powerful running style, he doesn't bounce off many tackle attempts. -- CT
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 5
Round 5 - Pick 1 (139)
Scouting report: Wise played way out of position on the edge in college. He's a bendy athlete for being 6-foot-2 and over 280 pounds but lacks in the pass-rush move department. -- CT
| |||||||
From
New York Jets
Round 5 - Pick 2 (140)
Scouting report: Scharping needs to be more consistent when firing his hands and has too wide of a kick slide but he somehow got it done for multiple years at Northern Illinois. Teams should be intrigued by his size, length, and impressive athleticism. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Oakland Raiders
Round 5 - Pick 3 (141)
Scouting report: Sills was incredibly productive at West Virginia, especially when it came to scoring touchdowns. He can be creative beating press at the line and demonstrates awesome concentration when coming down with a pass in traffic. -- CT
| |||||||
From
San Francisco 49ers
Round 5 - Pick 4 (142)
Scouting report: Johnson isn't a big guy but he can lay the wood, is good in run support and a sure tackler. He explodes downhill but always under control. Johnson is undersized in coverage against tight ends and bigger receivers, and because of his size, he sometimes struggles to bring opponents down in their tracks. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 5 (143)
Scouting report: Giles-Harris has an NFL body right now, and he's not totally immobile. He works well across the field through traffic just doesn't possess the traits needs to flourish in coverage. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 5 - Pick 6 (144)
Scouting report: Active, one-gap defensive tackle with good hand work who needs to get more powerful with them to succeed in the NFL. High motor will make him a favorite with his defensive coordinator. Athleticism is not up to starting NFL standards. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 7 (145)
Scouting report: Rypien makes accurate throws to second and third reads. Awesome footwork. Downfield dimes. Pocket-drifting mastery (at times). Other times he doesn't feel pressure mounting. The ball can explode off his hand on long throws to the sideline or down the seam. In other instances, his arm strength leaves a little to be desired. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 8 (146)
Scouting report: Jennings was Mr. Reliable for West Virginia from the slot and showed against Oklahoma and at the combine that he has enough speed to stretch the defense. He was outstanding in contested-catch situations in 2018. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 9 (147)
Scouting report: Slayton is a good-sized, well-built linear burner who can really sink his hips and explode up the field before flipping on his upper-level afterburners. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 10 (148)
Scouting report: Smith can line up in the slot and shows a good feel for the soft spots in zone coverage. A hands catcher in contested situations, Smith can high-point the ball in traffic and he can post up players in the middle of the field and win with his size advantage. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 11 (149)
 
Corey Ballentine
CB
NFL Draft
• 6'0"
/ 204 lbs
Scouting report: Twitchy, play-making slot corner and return man. Checks the speed, explosiveness, and change-of-direction boxes needed to play inside in NFL, and he has good awareness and route-recognition skills. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 12 (150)
Scouting report: Watts is a new-age inside rusher who'll face problems against big, powerful guards but will also glide past some of them with his long arms and light feet. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 13 (151)
Scouting report: A physical player who can sometimes get in trouble when he's out of position, drawing defensive pass interference penalties. Boyd ran an impressive 4.45 40 at the combine though questions about his flexibility could see him slip down draft boards. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 14 (152)
Scouting report: Edoga is a unique prospect at under 6-4 but with arms nearly 35-inches long. He needs to get stronger and add weight. No question about that. His supreme physical gifts could get him onto the field early in his career. Edoga glides in pass protection, and uses his length to his advantage often. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 15 (153)
Scouting report: Burr-Kirven is a smaller linebacker, but in today's NFL, I'd much rather my linebackers be in the 220-pound range than in the 240-plus round range if they're around 6-foot. He's an awesome block-shedder and sifts through traffic across the field better than any linebacker in the class. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 16 (154)
Scouting report: Nothing about Pierschbacher's game stands out, but he's far from a liability and can play center or guard. Decent power, hand placement and punch timing. Better in a straight line and moving laterally although he can occasionally get across the line on zone plays. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 17 (155)
Scouting report: Lodge, the other other receiver at Ole Miss has great downfield speed, decent separation ability, and moments of awesome snags with his arms extended. There's not a true trump card to his game, and his hands fail him in critical situations at times. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Minnesota Vikings
Round 5 - Pick 18 (156)
Scouting report: Meyers runs the underneath and intermediate slot routes, isn't afraid to go over the middle and is tough after the catch. Meyers battles for extra yards, isn't afraid of contact and is a good contested catcher, but can he be something other than a possession receiver in NFL? -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 19 (157)
Scouting report: Dodson ran a 4.60 40 at the combine and his athleticism makes him an interesting prospect who can begin his career on special teams. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 5 - Pick 20 (158)
Scouting report: Wesco's a slow-mover but a wide body at just under 6-4 and 270 pounds, so he holds up as a blocker. He showcased flashes of excellent balance after the catch in 2018 at West Virginia. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 21 (159)
Scouting report: Ran 4.65 40 at his pro day with an insane 6.63 3-cone drill. Athleticism is off the wall but is undersized as an edge rusher. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 22 (160)
Scouting report: Good-sized defensive end with the girth and upper body strength to set a sturdy edge at the next level. Pass-rush moves are rarely deployed. Quicker than fast but not a twitchy athlete. Developmental run stopper with flashes of ability getting after the quarterback. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 23 (161)
Scouting report: Greene needs to play with more consistency but he provides depth at both the guard and tackle position. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 25 (163)
Scouting report: Athletically gifted interior line prospect. Dynamic mover in any direction with lots of upper body torque but could get more weight/strength to improve his anchor. Impressive combo blocker and very aware of stunts and capable of shutting them down. Underrated prospect. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 26 (164)
Scouting report: Higdon runs much bigger than his size and is a marvel finding tiny creases between the tackles to accelerate through. His initial burst after getting the ball pops on film. His sustained speed is lacking, and he's not a contact balance player. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 27 (165)
Scouting report: Hurd is the ultimate project, a former Tennessee running back turned Baylor receiver with serious athleticism and major size. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 28 (166)
Scouting report: Broughton is a big draft sleeper with amazing burst off the ball, high-end speed-to-power conversion, and fluid hips. He played out of position on the edge in 2017 but erupted with 18.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks on the inside in 2018. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 29 (167)
 
John Cominsky
DL
NFL Draft
• 6'5"
/ 286 lbs
Scouting report: Cominsky is a tall, powerful athlete with outstanding size. Will his pass-rushing moves be impactful against NFL tackles? -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 30 (168)
Scouting report: Moreau too can block at the second level, and he sets a quality edge. There's less athleticism to his game but flashes of good yards-after-the-catch skill and power. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 31 (169)
Scouting report: Benzschawel is a solid, well-rounded guard prospect. His height hurts him at times, and I'm concerned about him getting out-leveraged by short, powerful defensive tackles in the NFL. He's mobile, has a heavy anchor, and is a stellar combo blocker. -- CT
| |||||||
From
New England Patriots
Round 5 - Pick 32 (170)
Scouting report: Edwards produced in coverage while at Wisconsin. While not overly fast, you always see him around the ball. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 33 (171)
Scouting report: Sees hole, hits hole -- a one-cut runner who doesn't dance around in the backfield. Not a goal-line back, and doesn't regularly break first tackle, Williams is undersized as a blocker but proficient at chip-blocking and he understands protections. He shows good hands as a receiver. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 34 (172)
Scouting report: Undersized wide receiver who had 8 touchdowns last season and averaged 17.1 yards per reception. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 5 - Pick 35 (173)
Scouting report: A long strider, he can play outside or as "big slot." Has the ability to make adjustments and go up and get the ball downfield. He uses his body to shield defenders and when he gets two hands on the ball it's over. -- RW
|
NFL Mock Draft
Round 6
Round 6 - Pick 1 (174)
Scouting report: High-energy, run-stopper with flashes of awesome range across the field. Further ahead flying around to halt the run than he is sinking in coverage or running with tight ends and backs in man. Really brings it as a blitzer and knows how to use his hands. Worth a late pick. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Oakland Raiders
Round 6 - Pick 2 (175)
Scouting report: Love's production fell off a cliff in 2018 after a 2,000-yard season in 2017, but Stanford's blocking had much more to do with that than Love's ability. He's tiny but possesses dynamic feet and the ability to erupt through a hole when he finds it and score from anywhere on the field. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 3 (176)
Scouting report: A converted safety, Hanks shows the athleticism of a defensive back, at least on tape. He can sift through trash to get to ball carrier but he sometimes overpursues and misses tackles as a result. He can cover tight ends and running backs, though his lack of experience could affect his playing time early. -- RW
| |||||||
From
New York Jets
Round 6 - Pick 4 (177)
Scouting report: Renfrow does not look like an NFL receiver nor does he appear to have standard NFL athleticism. But he catches everything -- everything! -- and will make defenders miss after the catch despite his athletic limitations. Amazing vision and feel for the slot position. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 5 (178)
Scouting report: Raw, strong-armed quarterback with erratic accuracy and a tendency to put the ball into precarious situations. Impressively mobile. Not a polished pocket passer. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 6 - Pick 6 (179)
Scouting report: Smooth glider down the field. Plays much faster and more athletic than his poor combine would indicate. Fluid and aware after the catch although he's not super elusive. Good, not great hands. Can flip on the jets in a hurry on screens. Deep sleeper. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 7 (180)
Scouting report: Get Moreland on the field as your nickel corner. He's an assertive, twitchy play-maker who seemingly always finds the football in the air. Loose hips and quick feet. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 8 (181)
Scouting report: Cheevers is a zone cornerback with plus length, good bounce in his step, and an aggressive ball-hawk mentality. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 9 (182)
Scouting report: Worthington got the benefit of the doubt from me when grading him because despite a handful of tackling misses and strange lack of "finishes" in coverage, he's tall, long, super-smooth athletically, and has impeccable range. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 10 (183)
Scouting report: Johnson has strengths in just about all areas of playing the receiver spot. Requisite size. Check. Ball-tracking skills. Check. Plus yards-after-the-catch ability. Generates separation routinely. Check. His speed is the only legitimate question mark. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 11 (184)
Scouting report: Hollins needs to add around 10 pounds to his 6-5 frame. If he does that, we're talking about someone with double-digit sack potential. His speedy hands match his explosiveness off the snap, and he certainly can flatten the edge en route to the quarterback. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 12 (185)
Scouting report: Tweener with not enough length to play tackle but not enough mass to maul inside at guard. Powerful legs allow him to work well in the zone-blocking scheme but his lateral mobility lacks twitch. Stellar footwork also benefits him greatly in pass protection. Must add strength and get more accurate with his punches. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 13 (186)
Scouting report: Baldwin had six interceptions, 15 pass breakups and 8.5 tackles for a loss in 45 games, and NFL teams have shown interest in him as a Day 3 pick.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 14 (187)
Scouting report: Versatile cornerback with decent size who wins with route-recognition and smarts over athleticism. Despite his lack of twitch or length, he'll get his hands on a fair amount of passes. Tendency to get overly grabby downfield. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Miami Dolphins
Round 6 - Pick 15 (188)
Scouting report: Brown is a good-sized outside corner with electric twitch, and the requisite awareness to make plenty of plays on the football at the NFL level but unreliable play against the run on the outside. He showcased good punch at the line and definitely has the hips to recover. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 16 (189)
Scouting report: Coming off an early season-ending injury. Will hit most team's size and length thresholds but needs to add weight. Light on his feet and has flashed impressive ball disruption skills. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 17 (190)
Scouting report: Gaillard is about as compact as they come at the center position, and his low center of gravity allows him to match the power of smaller, quicker defensive tackles. He really battles -- and moves people -- in the run game, especially when he can drive defenders downhill. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Tennessee Titans
Round 6 - Pick 18 (191)
Scouting report: At 5-foot-8 and 188 pounds, Zaccheaus is a shifty player who hauled in 93 passes and nine touchdowns last season.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 19 (192)
Scouting report: Davis is an old-school thumper. He's stout against run, sifts through trash to plug holes, and regularly stops ball carrier in tracks. He also times blitzes well but his coverage ability is limited by stiff hips and average change of direction. NFL teams still need two-down linebackers. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 20 (193)
 
Michael Jordan
G
Ohio State
• Jr
• 6'6"
/ 312 lbs
Scouting report: Played center in 2018 but has experience at guard too. Good size and impressively locks out as a pass protector. Light anchor on pass plays, and he's not explosive or under control enough to be an effective combo blocker. Turned 21 in January. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Seattle Seahawks
Round 6 - Pick 21 (194)
Scouting report: Smith ran a 4.34 40 and 6.87 3-cone at his pro day, which got the NFL's attention. He needs to be a more consistent pass catcher and get better as a route runner but his athleticism should get him drafted.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 22 (195)
Scouting report: Diminuitve, downfield threat who doesn't have impressive top-end speed by NFL standards. Sure-handed and adequately twitchy. Should be a special teams ace and could latch on as a No. 4 receiver. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 23 (196)
Scouting report: Williams was essentially the James White of the Washington State offensive the past two seasons, and you do not want to see him out in the flat if you're a linebacker or even a defensive back. His lateral mobility is remarkable -- and seemingly effortless. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 24 (197)
Scouting report: Russell is a modern nose tackle with some twitch to his fire hydrant frame and a fair amount of pass-rushing moves for his position. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Dallas Cowboys
Round 6 - Pick 25 (198)
Scouting report: Tall, lanky outside cornerback prospect with press man experience but an inability to remain consistent when jamming receivers at the line. He's tight-hipped too, which hurts him when facing anything other than a go route down the field. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 26 (199)
Scouting report: Bryant sets a sturdy edge but is more of a "SAM" linebacker than a pure edge rusher. He's a towering presence, doesn't play low, and is stiff around the corner. He doesn't have a pass-rush plan on most of his snaps on the outside. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 27 (200)
Scouting report: Doss is a smooth, possession receiver who played against a lower level of competition but dominated. Plus athleticism and requisite ball skills too. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 28 (201)
Scouting report: Edwards is more of a big nickel coverage safety than a ranging center fielder, and he's outstanding against the run. There may be some concerns about his twitch and lack of sustained long speed. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 29 (202)
 
Donnie Lewis Jr.
CB
Tulane
• Sr
• 6'0"
/ 190 lbs
Scouting report: Lewis has great feet, especially in short areas, and it allows him to break on quick routes. He sometimes gets handsy downfield, which could lead to flags at next level.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 30 (203)
Scouting report: Redwine is a former cornerback, and skills he took from that position are obvious on film. He's explosive in a straight line and has plus ball skills. There's some stiffness when moving laterally, and he takes extra time to recognize route concepts. -- CT
| |||||||
From
New England Patriots
Round 6 - Pick 31 (204)
Scouting report: Custis is 6-foot-4 and ran an impressive 4.50 40 at the combine, and if he played with more consistency he would be a Day 2 selection.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 32 (205)
Scouting report: Smith isn't limited much as an athlete, but his route recognition skills and ability to make plays on the football are lacking. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 33 (206)
Scouting report: Despite being a big runner, Snell has outstanding jump cut ability and is very patient behind his blockers. He's decently powerful too. Just lacks in the speed department. Hill is a modern-day air back with fluid hips and ankles. His vision fails him at times. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Arizona Cardinals
Round 6 - Pick 34 (207)
Scouting report: Johnson has serious speed and is a twitchy athlete who can sink his hips and change directions in a hurry. Small frame, though, lacking power and the ability to beat press coverage consistently. He reminds me of Paul Richardson. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 6 - Pick 35 (208)
Scouting report: Cowart is a borderline freaky athlete who really only wins by exploding off the snap. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 36 (209)
Scouting report: Ozigbo is a borderline freak at right around 220 pounds with excellent efficient cut and jump-cut ability. He can hit home runs in some instances and make bigger defenders miss at or near the line often. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 37 (210)
Scouting report: Prescod does move laterally much better than most guards his size -- as evidenced by his effectiveness in NC State's zone-based blocking scheme. He plays with significant power, boasts an outstanding anchor in pass protection, and has adequate awareness when dealing with delayed blitzes and stunts. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 38 (211)
Scouting report: Big safety prospect with an active mentality on the field. Will fly down in run support and plays faster than his disappointing combine 40-time of 4.83. Quicker than fast but his movements are decently stiff. Strong safety type at the next level. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 39 (212)
Scouting report: Willis is a sure tackler but he's not the most athletic defensive back. NFL teams love his leadership skills, which are off the charts.
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 40 (213)
Scouting report: Small but blessed with lightning quick reaction to what's in front of him and good burst and wiggle, Justin Forsett stuck around the NFL for nine seasons. Gaskin is comparably sized and talented. He repeatedly finds creases you don't think are there and the next thing you know, he's at 100 yards for the game. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 6 - Pick 41 (214)
Scouting report: Smith made the right choice by returning for his senior year and shedding weight. He's typically in good position, improved his coverage skills in 2018 but stays glued to blocks too often for how experienced he is. And he's still not an upper-level athlete for the position. -- CT

NFL Mock Draft
Round 7
From
Arizona Cardinals
Round 7 - Pick 1 (215)
Scouting report: Thompson had 10 touchdown receptions last season and is a solid route runner who gets by on technique over athleticism. -- RW
| |||||||
From
San Francisco 49ers
Round 7 - Pick 2 (216)
Scouting report: Tall, power end who'd fit best as a five technique two-gapping in a 3-4 base. Sturdy edge setter who lacks bend and twitch but in rare occasions can push tackles into the quarterback. - CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 3 (217)
Scouting report: Gentry is a sleeper because of his time spent blocking in-line at Michigan and flashes of impressive speed and ball skills as a receiver. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 4 (218)
Played alongside Jaylon 'Sack Daddy' Ferguson on the defensive line and several NFL teams like him as a late-round selection. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 7 - Pick 5 (219)
Scouting report: Brown is a bigger, sleek outside cornerback who can really run but plays relaxed a bit too often. Need to see more plant-and-drive explosiveness from him. -- CT
| |||||||
From
New York Giants
Round 7 - Pick 6 (220)
Scouting report: Crawford had 13 passes defended in 2018 but really got scouts attention with the 4.37 40 he ran at his combine. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Jacksonville Jaguars
Round 7 - Pick 7 (221)
Scouting report: Hart is a twitchy, bendy slot receiver with some pop to his game after the catch but some catching concerns. He rocked the Senior Bowl. -- CT

From
Denver Broncos
Round 7 - Pick 8 (222)
Scouting report: Anderson is a smooth, one-cut runner who glides across the field at over 6-0 and 224 pounds. He's heftier than DeAngelo Williams was as a prospect, but like Williams, Anderson can squeeze through small creases between the tackles and has impressive downfield speed once he gets into space. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 9 (223)
Trenton Irwin
WR
Stanford
• Sr
• 6'2"
/ 204 lbs
Scouting report: Several teams had Irwin in on a 30 visit. He had his best season in 2018, hauling in 60 passes for 685 yards and two touchdowns. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 10 (224)
Scouting report: Beckner is a refined block-disengager with good burst who has trouble sustaining speed through the play. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 11 (225)
Scouting report: Stallings was a key cog in the Wildcats' run game but he needs to improve as a pass blocker at the next level. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 12 (226)
Scouting report: He's undersized for an edge defender in the NFL but Smith excelled in the role in college where he logged 15 sacks last season and 30 for his career. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 13 (227)
Scouting report: Sheffield transferred to Ohio State from Alabama yet failed to meet expectations. He has a reputation as a super-fast player but was beaten deep somewhat often in 2018, and his overall game is very inconsistent. Sheffield can even be a tick late reacting to the football at times. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Carolina Panthers
Round 7 - Pick 14 (228)
Scouting report: Slower, between-the-tackles thumper with very limited range toward the sidelines and in coverage. Reliable tackler and decent A-gap blitzer. One or two down player at the next level. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Miami Dolphins
Round 7 - Pick 15 (229)
Scouting report: Woods had the fastest time at the 2019 NFL combine -- he ripped off a 4.30 -- and that alone could be enough to hear his name called during draft weekend. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 16 (230)
 
Wes Hills
RB
NFL Draft
• 6'2"
/ 218 lbs
Scouting report: NFL-sized back from the small-school level who was insanely productive. Can run high and takes time to get to top speed but shows flashes of making multiple cuts while flying downhill. Good power. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Cleveland Browns
Round 7 - Pick 17 (231)
Scouting report: Williams was a major producer at Colorado State in 2018 and is a smooth athlete at around 6-4 and 210 pounds. He has some wiggle in space and showed the ability to effortlessly catch the ball away from his frame. Not sure he has a true trump card though. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Minnesota Vikings
Round 7 - Pick 18 (232)
Scouting report: An athletic interior lineman who sometimes struggles to hold the point of attack but intrigues NFL teams with his upside. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Tennessee Titans
Round 7 - Pick 19 (233)
Scouting report: Watson had 114 tackles and three sacks last season but his 4.87 40 time and lack of athleticism will likely make him a late Day 3 selection. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 7 - Pick 20 (234)
Scouting report: Like most Mike Leach Air Raid quarterbacks, Minshew flies through his progressions and is willing to wait for someone to come open. His arm is severely lacking -- particularly when forced off his initial drop -- and his pocket management leaves a little to be desired. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Seattle Seahawks
Round 7 - Pick 21 (235)
Scouting report: He tested well in pre-draft process -- 4.37 40, 6.9 3-cone at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds. He's an athletic deep threat who began his career at Notre Dame player, and before that, played with Kyler Murray in high school. -- RW
| |||||||
From
Baltimore Ravens
Round 7 - Pick 22 (236)
Scouting report: Dogbe is an roller-coaster of a player. On one series, he's unblockable thanks to a strong punch and counter or a lightning quick first step. The next series, his motor idles, and he's stuck to every blocker that touches him. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Houston Texans
Round 7 - Pick 23 (237)
Scouting report: Marshall was a big recruit who had a solid but unspectacular career. At good height with good length, he understands the nuances of playing the corner spot on the outside and will make quality plays on the football relatively often. He's a little more stiff than you'd expect for a former top recruit. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 24 (238)
Scouting report: Well-built, somewhat stiff but very energetic edge defender with decent reliance on his hands to beat offensive tackles. His lack of bend and lateral explosiveness hurts him in pass-rushing situations. Will set a strong edge with his long arms and powerful punch. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 7 - Pick 25 (239)
Scouting report: Adequate in all phases of the game. Spectacular in none. Experience in-line as a blocker and solid in that area. Reliable pass-catcher who's a big target but not a true seam-stretcher or YAC tight end. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 26 (240)
 
Olisaemeka Udoh
OL
Elon
• Sr
• 6'5"
/ 323 lbs
Scouting report: Tall, super long, and athletic, Udoh needs more pop on contact. If he's able to add weight at the NFL level without sacrificing his athleticism, he can be an awesome value find later in the draft. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 27 (241)
Scouting report: Gadget RB/WR hybrid with decent agility in space but his long speed is the most standout aspect of his game. Needs to be used in niche role or solely as ball-carrier to reach his potential at the NFL level. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 28 (242)
Scouting report: Stick is almost always perfectly balanced with feet and shoulders aligned when he throws the football. You can tell he's been well coached. He can occasionally turn into a runner too early inside the pocket, although he can step up and away from pressure in some instances. Impressive accuracy too. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 7 - Pick 29 (243)
Scouting report: Dortch is the consummate possession slot receiver. Serious crossover to beat press at the line, and he understands the importance of changing speeds while running his routes to establish separation. Not many body catches with him either. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 30 (244)
Scouting report: Decent bounce, but his vision is lacking. Above-average contact balance and leg churn through tackles. Wiggle dissipates as he gets further away from the line of scrimmage, and his long speed is a major concern. Hard-nosed runner who could carve out a role as a RB3 in the NFL. -- CT
| |||||||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 7 - Pick 31 (245)
Scouting report: He had 71 receptions for 1,133 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2018. He's the son of Reggie White -- the one who played four NFL seasons with the Patriots and Chargers. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 32 (246)
Scouting report: Weber has a smaller-scat back body and flashes springiness in his step to bounce to the outside where he can exhibit decent speed and a well-timed stiff arm on occasion. He misses holes due to below-average vision. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 33 (247)
Scouting report: Stocky but speedy sideline-to-sideline linebacker with plus football IQ. Change-of-direction skills are subpar as is his ability to get off blocks. His speed too often leads to missed tackles and he's not as impressive in coverage as you'd expect for a fast linebacker. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 34 (248)
Scouting report: Thompson looks like one of the smallest backs of this class and has Love-like explosiveness. He's just not nearly as impressive of a make-you-miss back as you'd expect for his size. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 35 (249)
Scouting report: Jelks is a tweener who produced well on the inside but doesn't have the frame for it in the NFL. As a senior, he played on the edge more often, and while he's a twitchy athlete, he's not exactly bendy around the corner. His inside move is tremendous and will help him collapse the pocket. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 36 (250)
Scouting report: Defensive end prospect with good, not great size and below-average athleticism and bend. First step is impressive at times. Doesn't have a developed arsenal of pass-rushing moves in one-on-one situations and gets stuck on many blocks. Effective on stunts. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 37 (251)
Scouting report: Reed is an undersized linebacker who lined up on the edge. He's a tweener prospect whose NFL future may be at safety. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 38 (252)
Scouting report: The strong-armed quarterback was responsible for a lot of Penn State's success in 2018, but he's undersized and struggles with accuracy. His best chance to make it at the next level may be at another position, but he may not be willing to make the switch. -- RW
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 39 (253)
Scouting report: Quicker than fast safety/corner hybrid with elite season in 2017 who regressed in 2018 in all phases. No-nonsense mover and will lay the lumber. Should be a back end of the roster to start his career yet has the instincts and twitchiness to outplay his draft position. -- CT
| |||||||
Round 7 - Pick 40 (254)
Scouting report: Tall, long, linearly athletic tackle who understand his length and springness are his best friends on the outside. Too often gets overextended with his arms which leads to susceptibility against counters. Good strenght but seriously lacks lateral mobility. -- CT
