2019 NFL mock draft: Drew Lock heads to Broncos
By Brad Weiss
With the new NFL league year upon us, and the NFL Scouting Combine in the rear-view mirror, we take a look at our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
The 2019 NFL league year begins on Wednesday, and with the NFL Scouting Combine in the past, teams are starting to get their draft boards together. The 2019 NFL Draft will begin in six weeks, with the Arizona Cardinals getting the party started with the No. 1 overall selection in the first round.
Here is our latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
The Arizona Cardinals still hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft as we enter the new league year, and the word is that they will be picking a quarterback in the first round for the second straight season. Arizona moved up to select UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen in the first round in 2018, but after a sub-par year, and a new head coach, the team may make a move for Kyler Murray at No. 1.
There is no doubt that Murray was a special quarterback during his time at Oklahoma, and after measuring in over 5-foot-10, he is the favorite to now be the No. 1 overall selection in April. Murray has the talent to make plays happen at the NFL level, but the real question will be whether or not he can shake the stigma of being a quarterback under six foot.
Murray is coming off a Heisman Trophy winning season in his first, and only year as the starter for the Sooners, and did not throw at the NFL Combine. Expect a ton of people to be at his Pro Day, as they watch him throw, and run the 40-yard dash, but after making the move to football from baseball, he is all-in, and so may be the Cardinals.
