2019 NFL mock draft: Quinnen Williams goes No. 1 overall
By Brad Weiss
The Arizona Cardinals have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and they may choose to go with the most elite defensive tackle available.
It is officially Super Bowl week, as the NFL will have their biggest game of the season on Sunday. This season, the Los Angeles Rams were the kings of the NFC, beating the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game to punch their ticket to the big dance.
Over in the AFC, Tom Brady and company will be playing in the Super Bowl for a third straight season, and will be looking to avenge their loss in last year’s big game. Brady is playing some of the best football he has played this season as of late, and is looking for Super Bowl ring No. 6.
As we inch closer to Sunday, here is our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.

The Arizona Cardinals finished with the worst record in the NFL this past season, as they were the only team in the league with three wins. Quarterback Josh Rosen will be expected to take a major step forward in year two, and will have an offensive-minded head coach at his disposal, as Steven Wilks was replaced by Kliff Kingsbury this offseason.
Wilks lasted only one season in the desert, and having a rookie quarterback, how could he be expected to do any better than his three-win total. Kingsbury will look to develop Rosen next season, and he has done a nice job with quarterbacks before, as he has coached the likes of Johnny Manziel and Patrick Mahomes at the college level.
Veteran Larry Fitzgerald announced that he will return for another season in 2019, and that has to be sweet music to Rosen’s ears. This is a team that has a lot of needs, especially up front on defense, where adding a guy like Quinnen Williams to the interior will do wonders for their elite edge rusher, Chandler Jones on the outside.
