More on the NFL The really need a quarterback, to the point that they may have to trade up to get one. And that's exactly what we have them doing in this week's mock draft; the Jags swap positions with the and leapfrog the -- another team looking for a franchise pa ser -- to grab Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins. Two other quarterbacks go in Round 1, while a running back cracks the top 32 for only the second time this mock-draft season. All right, let's get to all the picks. , DE, .On a team chock full of holes, edge rusher isn't at the top of the to-do list. That said, it's hard to pa s on a talent like Bosa, who can take over games. There isn
Eddie Mathews Jersey 't an offensive linemen worth taking this high and the find themselves in full-on rebuild mode le s than a year after hiring Steve Wilks and drafting in the first round. , EDGE, .Is Josh Allen the best pa s rusher in the draft? That will be decided in the coming weeks and months, but none one did more for their draft stock than Allen, who returned to Kentucky for his senior season and . After seven sacks and 10.5 tackles for lo s in 2017, Allen gained 10-15 pounds of muscle and put up 14 sacks and 18.5 tackles for lo s and was pretty much unblockable. , EDGE, .Burns is a long, lean, explosive pa s rusher. At 235-240 pounds, the concern is whether he's strong enough to play the position at the next level, but Burns isn't just a speed rusher; he's also strong, and has the frame to get stronger. , DL, Alabama.Williams might be the second-best player in this draft, which is why the Raiders are taking him here even though defensive tackle isn't an immediate need. Williams has been one of the most dominant players in college football, and this is after sitting behind Da'Ron Payne (a first-rounder last spring) in 2017. Oakland needs an edge rusher but Williams is a one-man pocket-collapser from the interior.. Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State.The Jaguars get their franchise quarterback, which officially ends the era in Jacksonville. The only question becomes how long before Haskins, who finally declared for the draft, a sumes the starting job full time. , OT,. The Giants desperately need a quarterback but perhaps Jonah Williams will be for them what 2018 sixth-overall pick has been for the this season. Namely: A redefining force on a bumbling offensive line desperate for some direction. Plus, if is coming back in '19 -- and it sure looks like he
Chipper Jones Jersey may be -- the Giants have to protect him. , CB, .The Bucs are a me s on both sides of the ball but their defense has been particularly lacking this season. Williams may not be the most polished cornerback in this draft cla s but he is insanely athletic and has all the tools to become a great player. On a unit lacking playmakers in the secondary, Williams may be worth the gamble this early in the draft. , EDGE, .Matt Patricia had a rocky rookie season in Detroit and he has plenty to fix in the coming months. Shoring up the defensive line, which is set to lose Ziggy Ansah to free agency, will be near the top of the to-do list. Polite had 11 sacks in 13 games for the Gators. He has an explosive first step and off-the-chart physical abilities, and his knack for getting in
John Smoltz Jersey the backfield was unrivaled at times this fall. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Mi s.The need to protect Josh Allen, or find a replacement for just-retired defensive tackle , but it's hard to pa s on the best wide receiver in the draft when it was one of the Bills' biggest liabilities in 2018. led the team with 52 receptions last season. was second (34). Metcalf would be a game-changer for this offense. Drew Lock, QB, Mi souri. Is the answer in 2019? Will the new coach want a young franchise quarterback? These are questions we currently don't have the answer to, but we know general manager John Elway would love to upgrade the position. There's a reason he was closely watching Justin Herbert this season and now that he's returned to Oregon, Elway could turn his attention to other draft-eligible pa sers. Lock has the best arm of the group, and he reminds us of -- both the good and the bad. Would Denver draft Lock 13 years after taking Cutler 11th overall? Devin White, LB, LSU.The ' defense was exposed repeatedly in 2018 and inconsistent linebacker play was a big part of that. , considered one of the most tenacious players in the league just a few years ago, has suffered multiple concu sions and his career could be in jeopardy. White is one of the most dynamic players in the draft. He's a sideline-to-sideline thumper who would immediately solidify the middle of the defense, making life easier for both the front four and the secondary. , S,
Matt Joyce Jersey .The traded away and 35-year-old cornerback played free safety for Green Bay. Thompson's the best safety in this cla s and it isn't close, and he'll fit in nicely with a young athletic secondary. Daniel Jones, QB, Duke. The are looking for a new head coach because the last one, who was hired specifically to mold into a franchise quarterback, couldn't do it. So it's back to the drawing board, and Jones, who played for David Cutcliffe at Duke, could find his way into the first round as we make our way through draft season. Ed Oliver, DT, Houston. was a beast this season but he could use some help along the defensive line. Plus, it's hard to pa s on Oliver, a top-5 talent, should he still be available in the middle of the first round. , WR, .The Redskins' pa sing offense ranked 29th in 2018 and while there were many reasons for it, the lack of an explosive downfield playmaker played a big role. The team obviously needs to sort out its quarterback situation but Harmon put up eye-popping numbers during his junior season at N.C. State and he'd be a welcome addition in Washington, where the leading receiver was tight end . , G,. ranked 48th among all guards, according to , and Lindstrom is a mauler who would be an upgrade as both a run and pa
Mike Soroka Jersey s blocker. , CB, .Rookie first-rounder had a great rookie season but none of the ' other cornerbacks were any better than replacement level. That changes with Murphy, who had a wonderful year in Washington and he might be the best cornerback in this draft cla s. Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma. Same as last week because, as the Colts have proven this season, fixing the offensive line fixes a lot of other problems. Of course, isn't Andrew Luck, but he'll undoubtedly play better when he's not running for his life. Ford excelled at tackle this season after moving over from guard. Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia. Former first-rounder led the in receptions with 65, but ru
