Draft N ° 5 of the 2019 NFL

(WKBW) – With only one week left until the crucial 2019 NFL draw, fishing and crazy rumors are just beginning. If you have paid enough attention, the media has moved a lot these last three or four days.

How much can we believe? How far is it a course correction that was true from the beginning, and which part is just a rumor that will benefit the teams of the NFL's greatest poker game?

Seven days from my last look at how the project could be modified:

Joe B. and the 7 Eyewitness News Sports Team will describe what you need to know before the draft in a special live draft on Thursday, April 25 at 7:30 pm. Stay with 7ABC for the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night, the second and third rounds on Friday at 7 pm and rounds 4 to 7 on Saturday from 12:00.

First round

1) – QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma
– There has been a little more discussion on this choice over the past week since the NFL Combine. However, the absence of a strong vote of confidence from Josh Rosen's head coach or chief executive keeps Murray at the forefront. Maybe that 's their way of trying to increase the Rosen market to get a better choice, now that we are more than a week away.

2) – EDGE Nick Bosa, State of Ohio
– He and Dee Ford will make a tremendous double, and the 49ers have suddenly one of the most promising defensive fronts of the NFL. That, and a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo could be a scary combination. The 49ers could look to negotiate down, but without rushing for a quarter, they might not see what they want in a commercial package – unless the Raiders are involved.

3) – DT Quinnen Williams, Alabama
– I've looked for ways for the Jets to emerge from this choice and exchange, but to tell the truth, without a seated quarter to motivate a team to progress, I did not know that one team would yield the value needed to ride and pick someone like Quinnen Williams. For example, Tampa Bay would have to give up its second round pick just ahead of Oakland on the basis of the business value chart. This is a no-go for me when there is still a chance that they can get Ed Oliver. Trades become a little more realistic when you get out of the first three. If Josh Allen of Kentucky meets their most pressing needs, Jets GM Mike Maccagnan is renowned for staying true to his value, which could make Quinnen Williams a sort of hybrid strategy that could be aligned everywhere in the line of scrimmage in their odd-man forehead.

4) – LB Devin White, LSU
– GM Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden are wild cards with this selection. I could see them go to two to get Bosa. I could see them go back because, after selecting four choices in the top 35, they have no other choice than 106th in the overall standings. And I could see them go for a defensive tackle or a linebacker here too. However, with Quinnen Williams eliminated, the Raiders opted for Devin White – given the impression of falling at the linebacker position after him and Devin Bush as substantial.

5) – DT Ed Oliver, Houston
– If the bills want Ed Oliver, they will have to have trade talks with Tampa Bay – as they did in the last draft report to get Josh Allen. I think it's the starting point for Oliver. As Gerald McCoy is expected to head elsewhere in the coming months, they need a high-impact inland passport – with Oliver as the ideal candidate for this role. If the Bills wanted to get Oliver there, they should be familiar with the idea of ​​giving up their third-round pick in addition to another asset project, which might be a little too rich, I think. a asking price for Bills GM Brandon Beane. Instead, the Buccaneers hold on and take Oliver – an influential player in this project.

6) – QB Daniel Jones, Duke
– I'm as surprised as you are with this choice. However, the Giants have always hinted at a "plan", and Jones' rumblings go higher than everyone else thinks it's picking up speed. At age 17, with the way things are gearing up, the Giants will be able to call on a defensive line player to complete the equation. They might not be able to get the quarterback that they like there, given the focus on the position. Daniel Jones in the top ten? Well, he attends writing, if that's an indication.

7) **TRADE (from JAX) – EDGE Josh Allen, Kentucky
– Thomas Dimitroff is aggressive on the day of the repechage? You do not say. Vic Beasley enters the final year of his contract and has not had the same impact as his second season in the league. So, rather than betting on an unequal player to earn a lot of money in the long run, the Falcons are trying to get a profile that fits their style perfectly and that will be the object of any. a novice contract for the next four seasons. Jaguars can afford to wait for their plans, especially by adding an extra selection of the top 50.

Business Details: Atlanta ranks 7th overall and 109th overall. Jacksonville ranks 14th, 45th and 137th.

8) – TE TJ Hockenson, Iowa
– I have a few rules regarding the repechage, which one is simple. Trust the journalists who have been part of the team for a long time. In the case of the Lions, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press has been the idea that Detroit takes a critical look at Hockenson with his first-round pick. Matt Patricia knows very well what a tight impact can be on an offensive and a quarterback, and finding a full fight like Hockenson is not the easiest of feats. Although Eric Ebron's ghost still expects Detroit, the new regime does not matter.

9) – OT Jonah Williams, Alabama
– I admit that this player grew up after me, after going to watch him a little more, learn a little about who he is and how he would fit into the vision of the Bills according to which they want that their young nucleus looks like. Of course, Williams possesses the game, the behavior, the work ethic and the measurable elements to become the left tackle that the Bills hoped Dion Dawkins would become two years ago. If the Bills were to miss out on the two best defensive tackles, I think the choice then comes down to an offensive tackle, a defensive end and a tight end. As for the defensive end, the bills may be able to add a little later in the draft, so the attention may not be as important, although Montez Sweat is tempting. Once Hockenson eliminated, this choice returns to Williams against Andre Dillard, of Washington State, in my eyes. Even if I prefer to prefer Dillard to a real left tackle, it's hard to ignore the fact that all the features on which the Bills believe … – on and off the field – are exposed by Williams. And after all, it's the selection of bills, not mine. Not to mention, they have an advanced screening report on Williams in the form of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. This raises the question again, what becomes of Dion Dawkins? Do they believe that he can move inside to keep? Would he fight Ty Nsekhe for the starting right tackle position? Does Brandon Beane try to overthrow him for a mid-round pick? There are a few options on the table, but Dawkins would be even more "on alert" than he is right now. Whatever the case may be, they were clearly not pleased with Dawkins' progress during his second professional season at a key point in their offensive lineup.

ten) **TRADE (from DEN) – LB Devin Bush, Michigan
– Feeling that Devin Bush would not reach 20th place in the overall standings, falling at a time when they would need it the most and that they did not act quickly, he could end up between the hands of their rivals, the Steelers pull up the board to secure it.

Trade Details: Pittsburgh ranks 10th and 237th. Denver ranks 20th overall, 66th overall and 83rd overall.

11) – OT Jawaan Taylor, Florida
– The Bengals have signed a contract with Bobby Hart that says a marginal starter, and that's a contract they can do without after the 2019 season. Taylor is moving away from the top 10, the Bengals join him while having the opportunity to stay Taylor for a season, or if he is ready, to make him the right starting tackler, which would push Bobby Hart to play a reserve role. .

12) – WR Hollywood Brown, Oklahoma
– I loved this couple so much the last time I will do it again. Aaron Rodgers receives what is likely to become an impact receiver as soon as he is in top form after a foot injury.

13) **TRADE (from MIA) – QB Drew Lock, Missouri
– Same pairing, different niche – and that makes too much sense for both sides. The "needs" on the shippers' side are not enough to deter them from taking action for their future, but they must do it at the earliest, because you do not know how many more years Philip Rivers wants to continue to play or continue playing at a similar level. By entering into this agreement, they will begin the 2019 season as Super Bowl contenders and with a vision of the future with a quarterback they believe. For Miami, they add a crucial element to their reconstruction efforts – an additional contribution of 2020 selection of the first round. Even if it's a late pick in the first round, it could make all the difference in their ability to maneuver for the quarter they covet in 2020 if they win one or two extra games.

Trade Details: Los Angeles shippers rank 13th overall, 151st overall. Miami ranks 28th overall, 91st overall and the first round of the Chargers in 2020.

14) (from ATL) – Andre Dillard, Washington
– Attempt to take Noah Fant here, but the overriding factor is to protect Nick Foles at all costs given his lack of mobility.

15) – QB Dwayne Haskins, State of Ohio
– Washington makes a bet and remains firm at his choice, and finds himself with a quarterback to build at Dwayne Haskins.

16) – EDGE Montez Sweat, State of Mississippi
– It's a big win for Carolina to get a well-deserved boost for her rushing band, and Sweat will be almost immediately integrated into the training.

17) (from CLE) – DT Christian Wilkins, Clemson
– It's a selection of Dave Gettleman that hurts. Defensive line, inner scroll, high character – all boxes are checked. They hoped Sweat would last longer, but they were still happy with Wilkins.

18) G Cody Ford, Oklahoma
– If the Vikings do not show up with an offensive lineman in the first round, their fans may be in a rage.

19) – TE Noah Fant, Iowa
– We think a little more about the attack, but they take advantage of Fant who drifts a bit more than expected and hope that it will become the versatile part of the offensive that will help Marcus Mariota to come back on its route once very promising. .

20) (PIT) – C Garrett Bradbury, State of NC
– The Broncos need a substitute for Matt Paradis, and he is the ideal player and his ideal value to do it in the first round.

21) **TRADE (from SEA) – EDGE Brian Burns, State of Florida
– A simple motivation for Seattle with this change, which has only four selections in total in the draft NFL 2019 and that the detection value in Burns is available a little later than expected. The Chiefs have three choices among the top 64. Therefore, choosing their third and fifth round selections to get a potential pass to replace Dee Ford is worth it in their eyes.

Trade Details: Kansas City is 21st overall and the 2020 sixth round pick in Seattle. Seattle ranks 28th overall, 92nd overall and 167th overall.

22) – IOL Erik McCoy, Texas A & M
– They would have liked to have Burns, but helping Lamar Jackson and his running game to evolve inside is also a priority. McCoy has the opportunity to play all the way inside and he is likely to play a starting role.

23) – Chris Lindstrom G, Boston College
– A little consideration for Tytus Howard at this location, but General Manager Brian Gaine plays the game "safe" by choosing a guardian who, he knows, will immediately help the future of their franchise, Deshaun Watson.

24) (from CHI) – EDGE Rashan Gary, Michigan
– Surprise! Gary goes far beyond what one might think in this fake pre-project, but has features that Mayock and Gruden will not be able to ignore. Can he become the productive player that his talent shows to be? Will playing alongside his Michigan friend Maurice Hurst help? At this point in the repechage, the Raiders hope.

25) – CB Rock Ya-Sin, Temple
– Ronald Darby having signed only a one year contract, the Eagles take the first corner of the board and make him a local guy from their home in Temple.

26) – EDGE Clelin Ferrell, Clemson
– With Justin Houston and Jabaal Sheard as main strikers, they give a youngster a new player with a player who could have gone much higher without the talent of his post this year.

27) (from DAL) – CB Greedy Williams, LSU
– The trend of the top three Raiders? All three are defenders, and they hope they will immediately begin to reorganize their lamentable defense.

28) (from LAC) – DT Jeffery Simmons, State of Mississippi
– What better way to remember that 2020 is their year to bring it back than to take a very talented player who just got hurt and who will probably not be ready before this season, is not it? Transport, as regards 2020, already seems very important for dolphins.

29) (from KC) – CB Byron Murphy, Washington
– Now that the future of Russell Wilson is decided, it's time to rebuild the core with players who can bring them back to the heights they know they're capable of – again becoming a Super Bowl contender.

30) (NO) – T / G Dalton Risner, State of Kansas
– It is likely that he will be no longer a guard in this case since it is there that the need is for the Packers.

31) – OT Tytus Howard, State of Alabama
– Howard's scouting gives the Rams a replacement for Andrew Whitworth when he decides to retire, giving Howard a year of seasoning from an excellent player. The young offensive striker is full of potential, and the Rams are betting that they can help him reach the level of play he is capable of – while hoping he will surpass his draw.

32) – WR DK Metcalf, Ole Miss
– The addition of Demaryius Thomas makes me no difference with this couple. On the contrary, it would help Metcalf to work with Thomas – a player built in the same way. Metcalf needs to refine his path to become more of a deceptive player, but the potential is hard to ignore.

Round two

33) – S Juan Thornhill, Virginia

34) (NYJ) – WR AJ Brown, Ole Miss

35) – RB Josh Jacobs, Alabama

36) – WR Hakeem Butler, State of Iowa

37) – EDGE LJ Necklace, TCU

38) – Irv Smith, Jr., Alabama

39) – CB Deandre Baker, Georgia

40) – EDGE Jaylon Ferguson, Louisiana Tech
– I totally understand that this is not a popular choice among Bills fans. Jaylon Ferguson, who slipped on a three-cone drill after a day of pro, had a terrible time that drove his fools through #DraftTwitter. Because of this, Ferguson is part of a handful of people in this project where, no matter what argument you make, it is considered a "horrible choice". However, I do not think this same court prevented bills from drafting Josh Allen last year, is that right? Even though I know I'm actually screaming in a pillow, I'll explain why Ferguson makes a lot of sense for the Bills. First, I encourage you to watch it play. It's simple, I know it, but when you look at it, you'll see a very productive impact shield working on both the left and right sides of the line of defense, making versatility possible. Here, I've made it easy for you – and take a look at the competition if you want to argue that it's not played against anyone:

Take the turn:

Speed ​​in power:

Strength:

Against surges:

Change of direction and athletics:

The talent is there. Is athletics ideal and where do you want it to be? No, but I also think that the time of three cones for which everyone rides it could also result from a failure on as many consecutive attempts as he did. You take into account leaflets, of course, but I do not think it's a faithful representation of him. You must also remember that you will not have a perfect player in 40th place. Ferguson has everything the Bills need: height (6 feet 5 inches), weight (271 pounds), length (34 1/2 inches long) and production point of view, and he immediately started defensive rotation with potential departure. He's putting pressure on the opponent's quarterback, something that was so much missing from the Bills last year outside of Jerry Hughes. I think it's going to go much higher in the rough than people think, and as long as the bills can overcome its 2015 off-road problem, I have no doubt that it's in. the discussion for their choice in the 40th overall. The bills will invest in their rough draft because this scheme has not had to do it in the last two drafts.

71) – TE Dawson Knox, Ole Miss

72) – DT Rennell Wren, State of Arizona

73) (DET) – IOL Connor McGovern, State of Penn

74) – CB Joejuan Williams, Vanderbilt
– I've also considered a wide receiver, but in the end, the value of Joejuan Williams and his adjustment to the scheme might be too tempting to let the Bills pass. While it's true that they have some cooks in the corner corner kitchen, the starting point in front of Tre & # 39; Davious White is still in question. The moves to get Kevin Johnson and EJ Gaines to sign up showed that, no matter how tough Levi Wallace was last season, they are not settled at this position. The choice of the cornerback here is primarily a matter of value. Williams, at a T, is the cornerback style of Sean McDermott. He's huge for the position at 6-foot-3 and 5/8 inches, 211 pounds, and has long arms that the head coach sucks in his semi-turns. Williams is a good tackler, a prerequisite for his job. It is very good for half a corner and has a long-term starting potential – what you are looking for in the third round. If the Bills look a bit like the way the Carolina Panthers were built, they do not believe that they should break their piggy banks for cornerbacks, but rather that they believe in their search and their training to train players to spend money elsewhere. He remains three years at Tre & # 39; Davious White for his rookie contract (with the fifth year option). So it's always helpful to have another player of beginner caliber in place if White leaves his duties. And if Williams evolves as he had the potential, the Bills could count on one of the best starting corner NFL duets in the NFL. Regarding the offensive side of the ball, in the current state of this project, the Bills should be able to bring together two talented players in a fourth round rich in talent, whether running, offshore receiver or tight end. I think this could be the right place for them with these three positions.

So, what about the defensive tackle of the Bills?
– If the project goes that way and they can not get a defensive tackle in all three techniques in the first two or three rounds, I would not be surprised to see the Bills play for Gerald McCoy of Tampa Bay. They have the caps room, they have room on the list for that, and they can leave their contract when they wish. As long as the cost is not extreme, I'm thinking of making a choice between rounds five to seven, so I could see that the bills are extremely motivated to add a person like McCoy as a short-term fix. Not only would he be a beginner and an upgrade, but his effect on the locker room as a leader might be too good for McDermott and Beane to pass. So if they get a defensive tackle in the first two days of the draft – or if the value is never worth it, keep an eye on the Bills to see what it's going to cost McCoy.
