2019 NFL Mock Draft: Nick Bosa heads to Bay Area at No. 1
By Brad Weiss
With Week 14 of the 2018 NFL season in the books, the San Francisco 49ers continue to hold onto the top overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Week 14 of the NFL season was filled with excitement, as the Miami Dolphins upset the New England Patriots on a lateral hook-and-ladder play as time expired, and the Oakland Raiders stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. There was plenty of movement up and down the standings, and the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans secured their playoff spots with wins on Sunday.
Here is our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft according to the draft order on tankathon.com prior to the Monday Night Football matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings.
42. . Edge. Ohio State. Nick Bosa. 1. player
The San Francisco 49ers picked up their third win of the season on Sunday, as they pulled off a solid victory over the Denver Broncos. Despite the win, the 49ers still control the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft according to tankathon, and will likely nab the best overall prospect with the selection.
That player is Nick Bosa, who had a stellar career during his time at Ohio State. Unfortunately for Buckeyes fans, Bosa’s final season at the school ended early due to an injury, and instead of trying to rehab to come back to Ohio State, he decided to focus on the NFL Draft instead.
At the next level, Bosa is going to be the edge rusher that this 49ers team is lacking, and you can be sure that general manager John Lynch would like nothing more than to bring in an elite defensive talent. Bosa is a going to be a good one in the NFL, and should contribute immediately to a 49ers team that will be much better in 2019.
