The big days are getting closer.
Starting April 25 in Nashville, a new crop of more than 250 rookies will enter the NFL Draft in 2019. As has been the case for many years, as the editorial approached, there are many more questions than answers about who goes where.
Will the Cardinals of Arizona become a quarterback in the top 10 for the second year in a row by choosing Kyler Murray, No. 1 Oklahoma, to General?
In a repechage class filled with talent on the defensive side of the ball, how many passes are we going to have in the top 10?
Who will be the first players chosen in the cornerback and the offensive tackle, a pair of premium positions without a clear prospect in 2019?
And will one of the NFL's needy clubs have an agreement to move the selection committee forward and grab the caller they want?
This fake project tries to answer all these questions, including the last one.
The answer is "yes" – and it will not take long at all.

Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
There have been more than a few tea leaves linking Murray and the Cardinals for some time. And as Sam Hellman wrote for 247Sports, Adam Schefter of ESPN said the Get up! that the buzz will only be created after Murray's visit to the team last week.
"It was out of the question that the Arizona Cardinals would not be impressed by their meeting with Kyler Murray in Arizona on Wednesday," Schefter said. "They had dinner with him the night before, obviously there's a story there, you have Kliff Kingsbury, who has a crush on Kyler Murray, we've been aware of it for a while." Erik Burkhardt, the agent from Kliff Kingsbury, also represent Kyler Murray, so they have the same agent.There is a lot of commonalities here, but it's a huge decision. "
It is daring to pick a quarterback in the top 10 of the NFL draft two years in a row. And choosing the winner of the 2018 Heisman Trophy would mean the end of the Josh Rosen era before it actually starts.
But Murray's sporting potential is undeniable and, considering his seemingly tailor-made fit in the Kingsbury attack, he could speed up the reconstruction in the desert considerably.

Drew Lock, Quarter, Missouri
This hypothetical trade would be expensive – going from 10th to 2nd place would cost John Elway and the Broncos their first round pickup by 2020. Maybe more.
But it is also a possibility.
We know that because after watching Missouri's quarterback, Drew Lock, at a regular season game and January's Senior Bowl, Elway is "hit"with the 6", 228 lbs, by Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post.
We know that if the Broncos acquired Joe Flacco earlier this season, the 34-year-old is at best a short-term fix. Given how Flacco has played in recent seasons, it may not be better for a short-term solution than Case Keenum.
We know there is no shortage of teams looking for quarterback support this year and the New York Jets are ready to come back from third place.
We know that while passing Nick Bosa is not easy for San Francisco, the team already has a ton of gross capital and salary stuck on the line of defense.
And we know that these two franchises have coaching and ticketing relationships and have a history, whether it's the 49ers general manager, John Lynch, who plays in Denver or previous relationships.
In two of the last four versions, the first two selections were quarterbacks. Do not exclude it this year.

Nick Bosa, EDGE, State of Ohio
If the top two picks in the NFL draft in 2019 take place, New York Jets GM Mike Maccagnan would likely hit the knuckle to finish on the podium.
This is, without a doubt, the dream scenario for Gang Green.
The Jets have a desperate need for defense: help out of the water. And to say that Nick Bosa of the State of Ohio would help the team in this regard is a euphemism.
The only thing that keeps the 6-foot-4 and 266-pound Bosa from becoming the number one Arizona Cardinals is the positional importance of the quarterbacks. sound.
As a person who has watched every moment of both players' collegiate career, I think young Bosa is a slightly better hope of the NFL than his eldest in 2016.
Nick would be the best striker on the Jets list from the moment he entered the league.

Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky
After finishing the last season in the NFL 2018 with only 13 bags (less than seven players individually) and having failed to manage the pass back, the Raiders must prioritize help on the edge.
Missing Bosa by one choice would pique a little.
But Josh Allen of Kentucky is a consolation prize.
After choosing to stay in Kentucky for his senior season, Allen, of 6 "and 5" and 262 pounds, responded by blowing up 17 sacks, before being named Defensive Player of the Year by the He also collected 88 tackles in total, 21.5 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles.
Yes it is true. Allen had more bags by himself in 13 games Oakland had as a team in 16.
Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams would be tempting here, but getting help from a distance is a necessity for the Raiders at the beginning of this project.

Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama
At the time of the repechage, Williams' slides would be short.
Quinnen Williams, Alabama, is widely considered one of the best prospects in this category. As Joe Marino wrote for the Draft Network project, the only thing missing at 6 "3", the 303-pound game is the ability to jump tall buildings in one leap.
"Quinnen Williams is presenting the same toolbox as the one we saw at another Alabama defensive lineman, but that has reached a higher level," he wrote. "He dominates with a rare combination of speed, power, flexibility, skill and technique that prepares him for a sensational career as an outstanding playmaker."
In some cases, Williams ranks first in the Arizona Cardinals. While the Buccaneers were heading for a gap, attacking the 3-4 base defense under the new coordinator, Todd Bowles, Williams could sneak into the base sets and then go into the sub-packages …
Make havoc all the time.

Devin White, ILB, LSU
It was not so long ago that just about everyone in the repechage thought the New York Giants would take a quarter in 6th place. Most thought it would be Dwayne Haskins from the Ohio State.
But Haskins' shares have reportedly dropped recently, and Giants general manager Dave Gettleman recently handed Eli Manning a vote of confidence, resulting in a new school of thought that the Giants would not take the quarterback at sixth rank.
Most of the draftniks who have changed sides for the Giants are now focused on the defensive front. It's a logical decision considering New York's needs.
However, if things move like that, there is another room that makes even more.
A year ago, the Giants traded against linebacker Alec Ogletree, who was at best mediocre in his first season with the team. After a remarkable career at LSU and a stellar performance in the combine, Devin White is unquestionably the main hope of the job this year.

Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
The Jacksonville Jaguars have already solved the apparent need by signing a $ 88 million deal with quarterback Nick Foles.
Now the priority is to make sure Foles stays in one piece.
After dropping a second-round pick against Cam Robinson of Alabama in 2017, the Jaguars are surely hoping that he will be sufficiently recovered from the torn ACL that cost him 14 games last season to contain the blind side of Foles. The good tackle, on the other hand, is a point of questioning.
Jawaan Taylor, of Florida, could answer this question insistently. The long armed arm, 6 "5", 312-pounder is a classic potential prospect – big and mighty – he may not have the speed needed to become a star of the left tackle, but he has the physical tools to immediately start the strong side of the Jacksonville offensive.
Taylor may not be the best player available at this position, but he would meet a compelling need.

Gary Rashan, EDGE, Michigan
The Detroit Lions have already invested heavily in the defensive line during the off-season and signed a $ 90 million deal with Trey Flowers, replacing Ezekiel Ansah.
However, the arrival of Flowers in Town does not solve everything for the Detroit D-line. So it's time to ask for local help here.
The production of Rashan Gary has never lived up to its potential at the University of Michigan. But like Michigan DC Don Brown says the NFL networkGary has the physical tools and work ethic to become a star.
"He's an outstanding guy as a person," he said. "Really a fun guy to train in. You love guys when they are talented, elite talents, but work extremely hard.You have never had to ask Rashan to leave." In fact, in some cases you'd ask him to slow down, but he's a unique talent, that's for sure, and a great young man, so [he’s] a lot of fun to be around. "
Whether it's a choice that fans would like, it's the icing on the cake.

Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
This is one of the first "choice of intersections" of this project. The bills could go in several directions. They have needs that could be met on both defensive and offensive lines, and quality players are available to fill them.
Oh, make decisions.
This is the player among those options that has the highest ceiling that could receive the call.
Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver is by no means a finished product. But as Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News Todd McShay, of ESPN, estimates that if things go well in a few years, we could consider the 6 "2", 287 pounds as one of the project's 2019 orders.
"If he's well-developed, he's lucky to be one of the two or three best players in this category," McShay said. "No matter where after choosing three or four, I do not think it's a target for Ed Oliver."
Goodbye, Kyle Williams. Hi, Ed Oliver.

Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
Yes, in this scenario, the San Francisco 49ers would have adopted the best-in-hand of the 2019 project to Nick Bosa.
But going back would give the 49ers an extra first round in 2020.
And taking Montez Sweat here would be like John Lynch had his cake and ate it too.
That's not to say that Sweat is Bosa's perspective. But after accumulating 53 tackles, 14 tackles for the loss and 11.5 bags for the Bulldogs in 2018, Sweat spent the season of the project to open the eyes of recruiters and scouts. He was one of the top defensive players in Senior Bowl training and shined at the combine, including with a superb 40-yard dash of 4.41 seconds at 6 "and 260 lbs.
If Lynch and the 49ers were one of the biggest winners of the first day, they were looking for an athlete and an extra first-round pick.

Dwayne Haskins, QB, State of Ohio
It's a choice that will please some Queen City fans and the anger of others.
No matter which teams choose just behind the Bengals who could have their eyes riveted on the 6 ", 231 pounds after Haskins lit the Big Ten with 50 touchdowns in 2018.
As Geoff Hobson wrote for the Bengals website, new coach Zac Taylor gave a vote of confidence to his defending quarterback Andy Dalton at the end of March.
"I have every confidence in our quarterback," Taylor said. "Andy has won a lot of games in this league and so I am excited.It had been healthy all season, I would have been delighted to see what he did. Last year, healthy for all games, I'm excited to be working with Andy, convinced he's the right guy for what we want to do. "
However, Adam Schefter of ESPN said the Get up! (via 247Sports), it is said "more and more talkative" that the Bengals are considering the successor of the 31-year-old.
A star in the state who could sit behind Dalton in 2019 might be too beautiful to let her through.

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
The Green Bay Packers have just had their worst season in ten years. The glimmer of hope of their awful season is having a choice among the top 12.
Given the other needs of the Pack (including the wide receiver and the offensive line), it may seem odd to imagine that Green Bay is using high choice on a tight end, especially with Jimmy Graham still on the list.
But make no mistake: with a good return from Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are in "win now" mode. Green Bay wants players to be able to contribute as soon as they arrive at Titletown.
And T.J. from Iowa Hockenson fits this note perfectly.
It has been a long time since we have seen a very tight perspective as complete as Hockenson's entry into the NFL. The 6 "5", 251-pounder is just as comfortable to return as to defeat a defender.
Hockenson would be a welcome addition – and an immediate contributor.

Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
The Houston Texans have a glaring and overriding need that outweighs all others: improving an offensive line that allowed 62 NFL bags in 2018.
As such, giving up the 23rd choice, one of their consecutive second-round picks and a third day's selection for a team of dolphins seeking to stock choices when starting a complete rebuild would be an easy sell if it involved 39, adding the player. many consider the best left-wing hope of the class in 2019.
Many draftniks have custody of 6 "4", 302 pounds. "But according to Justin Melo of Draft Wire, Williams is confident that he can face the blind side in the pros as he has done to Alabama.
"Not only do I have the impression of being a tackler, but I am the best tackler on this project," Williams said. "I think I've proved that, I'm not a guy who wants to talk about that and defeat me from what I'm capable of. I have the impression that my tape l 'l cassette cassette cassette cassette cassette has proven during my career here in Alabama. "
I will not argue with a guy of this size.

Cody Ford, OT / OG, Oklahoma
The Atlanta Falcons struggled last year with race blocking and pass protection, which helped the team score 7-9 and miss the playoffs.
The improvement of the inside of the offensive line is a priority for the Falcons in 2019 and, even though the peak rebound could be even more important, a quick advance to this position could allow Atlanta to get off the ground. at the shelter.
And directly in attacking mammoth lineman Cody Ford of Oklahoma.
A tackle at Norman, Ford is as sporty as massive: a mountain of a man who should be able to hit inside and contribute immediately to the guard.
It is not often that Ford linemen arrive with the right size, but they also have the assets to please Atlanta's blocking system.
The Falcons should seize this opportunity to replace it in order to improve a rushed attack that only earned them 98.3 yards per game in 2018-27th in the league.

D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
No, not a quarter.
Maybe that's because the Redskins will be the team that will close a deal with Josh Rosen of Arizona. Perhaps it is because Washington hopes that Alex Smith will be able to resume his career at some point.
In any case, be it Smith, Rosen, Case Keenum or another person under guardianship in the nation's capital, unless the Redskins upgrade the weapons at their disposal, the quarterback is doomed to failure. Washington's broad body is currently composed of Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson, and many who?
D.K. Metcalf of Miss Ole mounts work tables since the establishment of a clinic at the combine. Its size (6 ", 22") and speed (4.33 seconds) does not show up every day.
Metcalf is not a finished product, but if he manages to realize his immense potential, he could become a star.

Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
The Carolina Panthers have long been known to have a deep and talented defensive line. But attrition has had detrimental consequences on this line, especially on the edge. With all respect for veterans Mario Addison and Bruce Irvin, in 15 combined seasons in the NFL, the pair combined for a single season of 10 sacks.
This need (and a class of advanced defenders) makes Carolina one of the teams most likely to participate in the first round this year. However, even if the Panthers remain in place, some options should be available at age 16.
Clelin Ferrell, of Clemson, does not have the sporty side of some of the smugglers who have already left the table, but the 6 "4", 264 lbs is technically sound and very productive at the college level, racking up 21 sacks and 37.5 tackles for loss in the last two seasons.
It would give Carolina the depth he so badly needed from the start and challenged himself to get a job early.

Daniel Jones, QB, Duc
The New York Giants General Manager, Dave Gettleman, has been insisting for some time that he is not in the process of ranking the G-Men in the # 6 position, but he has admitted that it was likely that at some point in this draft, the team in the future of the position.
There remains only one of the "Big Four" of this year's draft class on the board, the time is in fifth place and the player is Daniel Jones of Duke.
By Mike Kaye of NJ.com, Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy believes that Jones's similar skills and familiarity with Eli Manning, acquired at David Cutcliffe's QB camp, make 6 "5", 221 books a natural successor to Eli.
"I think it would be a very good quarterback this first year," he said. "Eli can play and Daniel can sit behind him and it would be really good in the room, I think it would be great, then with the transition, they call Daniel a successor, you talk about "A very similar skill, Daniel gives more as an athlete who can take off when it is needed, and I think it would be an ideal choice for both sides."
Nagy has a point.

Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
No NFL team is more under pressure to produce a quick turnaround in 2019 than the Minnesota Vikings, who have completely missed the 2018 playoffs.
Offensive games of poor quality have been one of the main causes of this extremely disappointing season. The Vikings have already considered hitting Riley Reiff inside, which would open a hole on the blind side of $ 26 million (per season) quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Andre Dillard, of Washington State, is an agile player of 6 "5" and 315 pounds who has shown more agility and athleticism to the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine After playing the WSU pass-wacky, he needs to fine-tune his blocking, but he may be the best pass protector for the NFL in his class.
This is exactly what Cousins and Vikings need.

Brian Burns, EDGE, State of Florida
The Titans could go a few directions to No. 19 in general. The team could add a close ending to succeed Delanie Walker. Improve a dubious frame of widened. Exchange and pick up choices.
But even in a repechage class full of first-round strikers, the talent pool will eventually dry up. And with veterans Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan both gone, the Titans must add another talented passer to accompany second-year pro Harold Landry.
Florida State's Brian Burns is a lean, skinny, 6 "5", 249-pound, custom-built player to stand out as a linebacker in a three-player front like the Titans. an almost perfect fit.
"The Titans have cleverly begun to prepare for the future of their race in the final session by taking Harold Landry, they are now giving him a vice president, Brian Orakpo retiring and Derrick Morgan a free agent," writes he. "There is no doubt about what you bring to Burns – looking after the quarterback – it's an ideal choice for a team of 3-4 to its size, but its explosiveness will make it difficult to handle for everyone except the more athletic offensive tackles. "

Devin Bush, ILB, Michigan
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a difficult year. The Veon Bell missed the match due to a contractual dispute and the distant receiver Antonio Brown had a disputed dispute with the organization.
This level of dysfunction is very similar to that of Pittsburgh.
The Steelers have nothing to do for the moment but go ahead and start filling the list. The position of linebacker has been acquired since Ryan Shazier was injured. While the Steelers added Mark Barron in an independent attack, the former security team had one of the worst seasons of his NFL career.
At 5 "11" and 234 pounds, Michigan's Devin Bush is a bit on the small size for a traditional domestic linebacker in the NFL, but we're seeing more and more linebackers flourishing as pros – provided they have the range to be lateral to lateral forces.
With a speed of 4.43 seconds, Bush certainly does.

Greedy Williams, BC, LSU
Once you have reached the second half of the first lap, trying to plan a draft becomes almost impossible. For each choice with an obvious match (like Brian Burns in Tennessee or Devin Bush in Pittsburgh), there is another where many players make sense.
That's the case with Seattle. But if the project were to proceed in this way, the Seahawks would have a hard time not to tackle the secondary problem since the team would have the choice of the best hopes of this year at the cornerback.
During the Pete Carroll era, the Seahawks showed an affinity for larger corners: types of thin limits able to beef up the receivers and point the ball up. At 6 "2, LSU's Greedy Williams certainly meets their criteria.
It is true that Williams did not have a single pre-project visit. But with tons of movies watching him play in SEC and 4.37 seconds at the combine, teams like the Seahawks may think Williams is a well-known product – in a good way.

ONE J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
Get ready to be blown away by the 2019 NFL draft's biggest secret: the Baltimore Ravens need the help of a wide receiver.
I know. You are overwhelmed. Take a moment to pick you up.
Some fans will wonder why this is A.J. Brown from Ole Miss listed here and not the Oklahoma Brown Marquise burner. It's time to let Lance Zierlein's screening report on NFL.com expose my case for the former rebel:
"Slut Bully offers a rare combination of strength and speed that allows it to separate with both power and speed." Brown has the size and behavior to handle a relatively heavy workload as a security blanket for young quarterback in a passing attack on ball control, he will see an athlete move in front of him, but he has the feet and control of his body to discover and create windows as a high level runner.
This ball control portion is the key, as is the size of this Brown (6 "0", 226 lb) relative to the other (5 "9", 166 lb).

Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
If the 2019 project unfolds like this, Miami general manager Chris Grier will broadcast cartoons. Not only would the Dolphins add an extra second-round pick in their deal with Houston, but a mini-slide would drop a potential base-line player to 23rd.
Christian Wilkins is not particularly explosive, but the 6 "3", 315-pounder is a disruptive force with impressive speed for a man of his size. </ P> <p> He also has defensive experience in base and tackle in the sub-packages -Experience that will warm the hulls of new head coach Brian Flores, who ran several fronts in New England.
Miami's reconstruction will begin in the trenches – or at least that should be the case. The Dolphins need all the help they need to face the defense now that Cameron Wake, Andre Branch and Robert Quinn are no longer on the list.
Getting Wilkins here would mean Christmas in April for Miami.

Byron Murphy, BC, Washington
More than any other team, the Raiders are well positioned to radically reorganize their draft roster with a trio of first-round picks.
Of course, they must appeal to these selections, including the defense.
Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus thinks Murphy would be a slam dunk here, touting the 5 "11", 190 pounds as one of the top 10 hopes, while pointing to the Raiders as a good schematic fit:
"The coverage of the areas is much more related to speed, instinct and reaction time than to size, length or speed.That's why Murphy's dash in the combine harvester does not worry terribly.One of the best corners of the game area In recent years, Josh Norman (4.66) and Casey Hayward (4.57) have run more slowly than Murphy in the years 40. Elite players get these tenths of a second with the speed with which they treat route combinations. "
This makes two defensive beginners (and potential difference makers) up to now.
Can Executive Director Mike Mayock be three in a few choices?

Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
If this selection is an indication, the value in the first round is in the back end. Playoff teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles will have the opportunity to add players who can not only help, but do it right away.
The Eagles (in theory) have larger needs than those on the left. But look a little further, and the blind side is a potential problem. Jason Peters played all 16 games last season, but asking the 37-year-old to do so for a second year in a row could be tempting. Even if he does, the Eagles must find his apparent heir quickly.
Greg Little, of Ole Miss, is a classic prospect in the left attack of 6 "5", weighing 310 pounds, with all that the NFL teams covet: length, strength and athleticism. 39 needs a bit of seasoning at the professional level.
As tutors, you could do a lot worse than a nine-time Pro Bowler at Peters.

Neal Harry, WR, State of Arizona
Après une saison qui a connu l'un des plus grands revirements de l'histoire récente, les Colts d'Indianapolis se lancent dans le repêchage en tant qu'équipe sans beaucoup de trous éblouissants. Cependant, ils ont besoin d’un récepteur large pour compléter T.Y. Hilton.
C'est un autre lieu d'atterrissage potentiel pour Marquise Brown, en Oklahoma. Mais dans ce projet particulier, Hollywood glisse à cause d’une crainte qui lui vaut de s’inscrire en dessous de 170 livres et d’une blessure au pied qui l’a harcelé au cours de la saison morte.
Les Colts ont déjà une menace verticale rapide à Hilton. Ce dont Andrew Luck a besoin maintenant, c’est d’un receveur de passes corsé, capable de muscler le dos de la défense et d’offrir une cible dos-épaule dans la zone rouge.
À 6'2 "et 228 livres, après une saison 2018 qui lui a permis de récolter 73 passes pour 1 088 verges et neuf buts (sa deuxième campagne consécutive de 1 000 verges), N'Keal Harry de l'Arizona State conviendrait parfaitement.

Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE, Louisiana Tech
Et puis ils furent trois. Les défenseurs, c'est.
Quelques joueurs offensifs auraient du sens pour Oakland ici, qu’il s’agisse d’un joueur de ligne comme Kaleb McGary ou même de l’arrière Josh Jacobs de l’Alabama. Mais avec Isaiah Crowell dans le groupe, les Raiders peuvent attendre le Jour 2 pour s’attaquer au champ arrière.
La ruée vers les passes inexistantes de l'équipe reste un besoin énorme, même après avoir ajouté Josh Allen au début de la ronde. C'est donc un nouveau compagnon de batterie pour Allen.
Dire que Jaylon Ferguson a passé beaucoup de temps dans les champs opposés alors qu’à Louisiana Tech, c’est un euphémisme; plus du tiers de ses tacles en carrière étaient des pertes. Le 6'5 ", 271 livres a également eu 45 sacs exceptionnels au cours de sa carrière universitaire.
Aucun joueur dans l'histoire de la NCAA n'a plus.
Les inquiétudes en dehors du terrain et la présence de ce type lors de sa journée professionnelle sont des raisons légitimes de faire une pause, mais tout indique que Ferguson peut faire la différence dans la NFL si vous vous abonnez à l’école de pensée "la bande ne vous mentez pas".

Avec Joey Bosa et Melvin Ingram III, les Chargers de Los Angeles ont l’un des meilleurs deux coups en défensive de toute la NFL. Mais l’intérieur de cette ligne est une autre histoire, en particulier après le départ probable de Corey Liuget, qui utilise trois techniques depuis longtemps, et qui reste un agent libre.
Entrez Jerry Tillery de Notre Dame.
Tillery est un long et explosif 6'6 ", 295 livres qui a dit à Adam Rittenberg d'ESPN qu'il a ses yeux fixés haut au niveau de la NFL:
"Je ne veux pas juste me rendre dans la NFL, je veux être le meilleur. C'est évidemment une bonne classe de ligne défensive. Je ne veux pas être juste parmi eux. Je veux être le meilleur Le meilleur de cette ligue. Je veux faire un Pro Bowl, je veux gagner un Super Bowl, je veux porter la veste en or un jour. Je veux être génial. "
J'ai le sentiment que les chargeurs seraient bien avec ça.

Ce serait une sorte de scénario cauchemardesque pour les Chiefs, qui ont échangé Dee Ford et libéré Justin Houston pendant la saison morte – une première ronde remplie de joueurs acharnés qui se font avoir avant que l’équipe ne soit désignée au 29e rang.
Them sont les pauses, cependant.
Plutôt que d’atteindre un buteur ici, les Chiefs devraient plutôt ajouter un élément à un champ défensif qui a besoin d’aide tout autant que la précipitation.
Comme D. Orlando Ledbetter a rapporté pour la Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Le demi de coin de Géorgie Deandre Baker a une opinion sur le meilleur joueur à sa place dans cette classe de draft: le demi de coin de Géorgie Deandre Baker.
"Je sais que je suis le meilleur demi de coin dans le repêchage", a-t-il déclaré.
Le 5'11 ", 193-pounder n'est pas seul dans cette évaluation. Baker a été la meilleure défensive dans le football universitaire, en 2018, le Prix Jim Thorpe. En collaboration avec Kendall Fuller et le nouveau venu Bashaud Breeland, il donnerait les Chiefs un trio de partants au coin qui est plus que réparable.

Johnathan Abram, S, État du Mississippi
Comme mentionné précédemment, les Packers sont une rareté: une équipe de la NFL qui vient de connaître une saison pourrie convaincue que le moment est venu de gagner. Ils pourraient faire leurs choix ici avec un œil tourné vers l'avenir (par exemple, un attaquant offensif qui pourrait jouer le rôle de "swing" en 2019). Mais plus probablement qu'autrement, ils chercheront à ajouter des joueurs pouvant aider l'équipe à se battre dans le nord de la NFC.
Et tout comme l’Iowa au bout serré T.J. Hockenson (le choix au numéro 12), Johnathan Abram de Mississippi State peut le faire. Il est clairement surclassé par rapport à Josh Jones en très grande sécurité.
Abram est non seulement un attaquant punitif qui peut jouer un secondeur nickel, ce qui serait bienvenu à Titletown étant donné le corps fragile du secondeur, mais son tableau de bord de 4 verges de 40 verges a montré le type de roues que les protections modernes doivent assurer. dans la NFL d'aujourd'hui.
Deux choix. Deux entrées.

Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
Ndamukong Who?
After Ndamukong Suh spent one season in L.A. and played relatively well in an ill-fitting role as a one-technique tackle in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme, the Rams are in the market for a new space-clogger to man the nose.
And man oh man, can Clemson's Dexter Lawrence clog a running lane.
The 6'4", 342-pounder is more than just a big body, though. He moves well for a player his size, piling up 36 total tackles and seven tackles for loss in Clemson's march to the national title last year. That a nose tackle earned universal consideration as a Day 1 prospect at all is a testament to just how promising a player Lawrence is.
It's also possible the Rams would consider a guard here to replace the departed Rodger Saffold, but some promising interior linemen such as Texas A&M's Erik McCoy and Ohio State's Michael Jordan (the other one) may be available when L.A.'s next pick rolls around.
That makes stopping Lawrence's draft-day slide an immensely easy call.

It's possible—likely, even—that the Patriots will swing a draft-day trade here. It may be to move up or to slide out of Round 1 altogether. The Pats play more Let's Make a Deal than Monty Hall and Wayne Brady put together.
But if New England does stand pat and make a pick, one available player both fills a need and is tailor-made for head coach Bill Belichick and "The Patriot Way."
After Trent Brown bolted for Oakland in free agency, a hole opened at left tackle in New England. The hope is that second-year pro Isaiah Wynn can step into that void. But Wynn missed his entire rookie season, and depth on the offensive front is an issue even if he is up to the task.
Kansas State's Dalton Risner isn't the most athletic tackle prospect in this year's class. But the 6'5", 312-pounder is technically sound, tough as nails and shined at the Senior Bowl in January. He also has experience playing both tackle and center.
At the very least, he could essentially be a "super sub" capable of filling in just about anywhere on the Patriots' offensive line.
