2019 NFL mock draft: Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins go early
By Brad Weiss
With a month to go before the 2019 NFL Draft, we take a look at our latest 2019 NFL mock draft, as quarterbacks hear their name called early.
We are officially one month away from the 2019 NFL Draft, where teams will look to improve their rosters and put themselves in position to fight for a Super Bowl ring this season. The Oakland Raiders hold three first rounders, and the Green Bay Packer and New York Giants have two, so look for those three franchises to dominate the headlines heading into the draft.
Here is our latest 2019 NFL mock draft as we enter the month of April.
The Arizona Cardinals plan on turning over every rock before the 2019 NFL Draft, but as we inch closer to the big event at the end of next month, all signs point to Kyler Murray of Oklahoma being the first overall pick. Murray’s biggest question heading into draft season was how tall he is, but once he measure in over 5-foot-10, he basically locked himself into the top spot in this draft class.
Last year, Arizona traded up in the first round to select UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen, so if they take Murray, it will be interesting to see what they do with him. He did start for the team as a rookie, but played poorly, as he had a pretty terrible cast of characters around him in year one.
If the Cardinals bring in Murray, they are bringing in a quarterback who fits new head coach Kliff Kingsbury’s system on offense. Murray is a guy who can do so many good things with his arm, and his legs, and based on how offenses are run in the NFL right now, he is hands down the best quarterback prospect in this draft class.
