ESPN's Mel Kiper reorganized the top 5 of the NFL's fictional draft 3 in 2019

The ESPN Mel Kiper Android project has been on horseback since the end of the university football season, during a full year of match games, Senior Bowl practices, and combines the results in a comprehensive list of top prospects in the world. NFL for 2019.

On Tuesday, he dropped his third model of 2019 with a record of 32 choices of his best guessing for upcoming Nashville festivities – and there are not too many surprises, at least among the top 20 selections. This does not mean that Kiper is sticking to his February choices. A handful of new names, including an exceptional Big Ten receiver who burned the pre-draft process, clash with Day 1, which is coming to an end.

After appearing in the top five of the defensive line last month, March placed the quarterback at the top of the NFL draft in 2019 and propelled LSU's domestic linebacker – Devin White – in the top five completely revised. So what did we learn from Kiper's latest estimates?

The harvest of this year's shifts is going pretty much as expected

Kiper was smitten by Kyler Murray in Arizona in February, but Kliff Kingsbury's kudos for defending champion Heisman propelled him to the top of Kiper's player board in March. The veteran prognosticator now sees the Cardinals pissing off the No. 10 pick of 2018, Josh Rosen, in Murray's favor. This would give Kingsbury a fresh start in his first season as an NFL coach and the best chance to present the innovative attack he hopes to bring to the big leagues without a hitch.

Next is Dwayne Haskins, an outstanding player from the state of Ohio, who solves the Giants' Eli Manning enigma in 6th place – though Kiper is not fully sold on the concept. The momentum of a choice between Haskins and New York has recently cooled; the couple reached 80% of the watershed simulations a few weeks ago. It has now dropped to less than 50%. The ESPN scribe has also seen this trend.

But again, there is no guarantee that the Haskins (6'3, 231 pounds) will be available in 6th place and that General Manager Dave Gettleman may need to equip himself to get it back. The team now has choice number 17 among Odell Beckham Jr.'s group, which could be used in another contract. It is not certain, however, that the Giants clash with this choice. they are clearly being rebuilt, they have several needs (offensive tackle and peak rebound) and could instead use the 17th choice for a QB.

Only one more quarter heard his name on the first day of the last Kiper simulation. Missouri's Drew Lock turns to the Dolphins at number 13, which means the Broncos and Jaguars will miss the temptation to add a young passer thanks to the presence of former Super Bowl MVPs (Joe Flacco and Nick Foles, respectively). Washington, selecting at number 15, is also out of the current first round.

That means quarterback Daniel Jones, Duke Duke, who was a first-round pick in Kiper's last two counter-projects, will have to wait until Friday (or later) to hear his name called in Nashville. That's Dan Kadar's replica of two rounds here at SB Nation – he slides Lock on his way to Washington, but Jones waits until Jacksonville at number 38 before hearing his name.

Some new names appeared late in the writing cycle

Terry McLaurin did not produce until the Haskins overcame the Buckeye attack last fall. That's what drove him to look at a project, but it's a very elaborate preparatory process that propelled him into Kiper's first round of simulation. He turned heads at the Senior Bowl before performing admirably in the combined and OSU professional day.

As a result, the longtime draft sees the Colts associate it with T.Y. Hilton with the 26th pick of the day. Would it be the team that would have made him a first-round promise?

This move would be a comforting homecoming for McLaurin, who attended Cathedral High School in Indianapolis. This would also dissuade him from being a second day flight.

He is not the only one to have qualified for the first time of his Kiper project on Tuesday. Corner half of the Temple, Rock Ya-Sin, played a season at Temple and fought hard until Oakland with the 27th pick. Texas center A & M (and casual goalkeeper), Erik McCoy, was the fastest offensive lineman of the combine and progressed up to number 22 for the Ravens – a slight surprise for a player who has not done Dan Kadar's double trick simulation. rough at all this week.

McCoy earned a spot behind another inside blocker, Chris Lindstrom of Boston College. His strong pre-project performance has made him the most recent solution for the Seahawks' offensive line programs at number 21. The US state center Garrett Bradbury completes the domestic lineman series recently added (on Kiper's list) by replacing the veteran released by John Sullivan by rams at No. 31.

The replacement of Patriots by Rob Gronkowski is …

Alvama, Irv Smith Jr., remains tight until 32nd (Kadar has twice removed him to Green Bay). He is the third-place first-round pick after the mighty Iowa Tiger duo TJ Hockenson (10th overall pick by the Denver Broncos) and Noah Fant (who nearly fell to New England before going to New England). have the Packers take 30th place). Gronkowski's retirement made Bill Belichick a priority for Kiper – more than finding Tom Brady's heir. In his first two simulacra, the ESPN prognosis had asked the Pats to choose Duke to pass Jones with the final selection of the first day.

Kiper sees landing in the first round as many tight ends as wide receivers and half-carriers combined. While seeing McLaurin land in Indiana, he also had superstar DK Le Metcalf, 12th overall at the Packers and Alabama, Josh Jacobs, who moved temporarily to Oakland, at number 24. Marquise Brown, Oklahoma burner, was previously among the top 15 a foot operation during the off-season that prevented him from participating was obviously enough to scare the world's first Sherpa project.

Of course, with six of the first 101 selections in the repechage, Belichick and the Patriots could still find a way to cross the line and increase their depleted receiver count with a handful of transactions on the day of the repechage.
