Final 2019 NFL Mock Draft: Ed Oliver rises, Dwayne Haskins slides
31. Los Angeles Rams – Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
Ndamukong Suh is still a free agent and not expected to return to the Rams where he played next to Aaron Donald for one season. With Suh gone, in comes 6-4, 340-pound Dexter Lawrence who can occupy the center of the offensive line and command attention. That would leave Donald free to roam around the line and do his thing to garner another Defensive Player of the Year Award. Lawrence isn’t much of a pass rusher, but he does have a nasty bull rush. He’ll make his money occupying blockers and allowing his teammates next to and behind him make a number of plays, just as he did at Clemson where he won two national titles.
32. New England Patriots – Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College
Chris Lindstrom is built to play for the Patriots. The 6-4, 310-pound right guard has been a starter since his true freshman season. His father and uncle played at B.C. and his younger brother was a teammate on the offensive line. Football is in his blood. His experience, elite athleticism at the position and football IQ make him a safe pick for the Patriots. He excels at getting to the second level and the former All-ACC lineman could be a fixture at guard for the Patriots much like Logan Mankins was until recently.
