2019 NFL Mock Draft: Cardinals nab Ed Oliver
By Brad Weiss
The 2019 NFL Draft class is loaded with talented defensive linemen, from edge rushers, to defensive tackles. Here is our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
Somehow, it is already Week 3 of the NFL season, and teams are starting to show that they are either pretenders, or contenders. While some teams have gotten out to quick starts, winning their first two games, others are still looking for that elusive first victory.
The college football season is also in full swing, and as we head towards conference play, those early-season cupcake games are in the rearview mirror. The current draft order is based on win/loss record to start.
With that said, let us take a look at our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft for next April.
Houston. Ed Oliver. 1. player. 32. . Defensive Tackle
The Arizona Cardinals have started the season off at 0-2, and based on how they have looked early on, they could be the worst team in all of football. Of course, they are going to have to fight off the Buffalo Bills for that distinction as the season wears on, but for now, we will mark them as having the first overall pick next April.
With that pick, the Cardinals could go a number of ways, but a guy like Ed Oliver from Houston may be too hard to pass up. Oliver is the kind of player you could put in the middle of your defensive line for the next ten years, and with his talent, he could be an All-Pro very early.
Last year, the Cardinals went with Josh Rosen in the first round, so they may want to bring in an offensive tackle in 2019. However, there are no tackles worth taking first overall, so we have them going with the talent Oliver to bolster their defensive line at No. 1.
