The 2019 NFL draft is almost upon us, and not a moment too soon. After wading through endless analyses of prospects and smoke screens from teams all around the league, we’ve compiled a final seven-round mock draft before the actual event happens.
This mock starts off with a bang, though, as we have two mock trades. The first mock trade happens at the top spot, as Arizona agrees to send their first overall pick, as well as their 249th overall pick, to Oakland. In return, Arizona gets Oakland’s fourth overall pick, 27th overall pick, 106th overall pick and 196th overall pick.
The second trade is at the end of the top ten. The Broncos agree to send their tenth overall pick to the Redskins in exchange for Washington’s 15th overall pick and their 76th overall pick.
With that out of the way, let’s get drafting!

24. Oakland Raiders (from CHI) - Clelin Ferrell, EDGE - Clemson
25. Philadelphia Eagles - Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S - Florida
26. Indianapolis Colts - Chris Lindstrom, OG - Boston College
27. Arizona Cardinals (from OAK) - N’keal Harry, WR - Arizona State

Second Round:
33. Arizona Cardinals - Dalton Risner, OT - Kansas State
34. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ) - Justin Layne, CB - Michigan State
35. Oakland Raiders - DeAndre Baker, CB - Georgia
36. San Francisco 49ers - Josh Jacobs, RB - Alabama
37. New York Giants - Deionte Thompson, S - Alabama
38. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jerry Tillery, DT - Notre Dame
39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Amani Oruwariye, CB - Penn State
40. Buffalo Bills - Kelvin Harmon, WR - NC State
41. Denver Broncos - Erik McCoy, OG - Texas A&M
42. Cincinnati Bengals - Chase Winovich, EDGE - Michigan
43. Detroit Lions - Irv Smith Jr., TE - Alabama
44. Green Bay Packers - Miles Sanders, RB - Penn State
45. Atlanta Falcons - Mack Wilson, LB - Alabama
46. Washington Redskins - Michael Deiter, OL - Wisconsin
47. Carolina Panthers - Rock Ya-Sin, CB - Temple
48. Miami Dolphins - Ben Banogu, EDGE - TCU
49. Cleveland Browns - Greg Little, OT - Ole Miss
50. Minnesota Vikings - Marquise Brown, WR - Oklahoma
51. Tennessee Titans - LJ Collier, EDGE - TCU
52. Pittsburgh Steelers - AJ Brown, WR - Ole Miss
53. Philadelphia Eagles (from BAL) - Trayvon Mullen, CB - Clemson
54. Houston Texans (from SEA) - Elgton Jenkins, OL - Mississippi State
55. Houston Texans - Juan Thornhill, S - Virginia
56. New England Patriots (from CHI) - Deebo Samuel, WR - South Carolina
57. Philadelphia Eagles - David Montgomery, RB - Iowa State
58. Dallas Cowboys - Taylor Rapp, S - Washington
Looking solely at tape, Taylor Rapp is one of the best safeties in this draft class as detailed in the scouting report on him. And for a while, it looked like Rapp was bound to go early on Day 2. But he ran a 4.76 40-yard dash at his pro day and everyone lost their minds, which is why Rapp fell to Dallas in this mock. The Cowboys will likely alternate between Rapp and George Iloka at strong safety in 2019, allowing the former Husky time to adjust to the NFL before making him their full-time starter long term.
59. Indianapolis Colts - Dexter Lawrence, DT - Clemson
60. Los Angeles Chargers - Blake Cashman, LB - Minnesota
61. Kansas City Chiefs - Julian Love, CB - Notre Dame
62. New Orleans Saints - Jace Sternberger, TE - Texas A&M
63. Kansas City Chiefs (from LAR) - Darnell Savage, S - Maryland
64. New England Patriots - Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE - Louisiana Tech
Third Round:
65. Arizona Cardinals - Jachai Polite, EDGE - Florida
66. Pittsburgh Steelers (from OAK) - Dre’Mont Jones, DL - Ohio State
67. San Francisco 49ers - Parris Campbell, WR - Ohio State
68. New York Jets - Andy Isabella, WR - UMass
69. Jacksonville Jaguars - Christian Miller, EDGE - Alabama
70. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Kaleb McGary, OT - Washington
71. Denver Broncos - Tyree Jackson, QB - Buffalo
72. Cincinnati Bengals - Dax Raymond, TE - Utah State
73. New England Patriots (from DET) - Charles Omenihu, DL - Texas
74. Buffalo Bills - Renell Wren, DT - Arizona State
75. Green Bay Packers - D’Andre Walker, EDGE - Georgia
76. Denver Broncos (from WAS) - Emmanuel Hall, WR - Missouri
77. Carolina Panthers - Amani Hooker, S - Iowa
78. Miami Dolphins - David Edwards, OT - Wisconsin
79. Atlanta Falcons - Sean Bunting, CB - Central Michigan
80. Cleveland Browns - Dawson Knox, TE - Ole Miss
81. Minnesota Vikings - Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB - Kentucky
82. Tennessee Titans - Dru Samia, OL - Oklahoma
83. Pittsburgh Steelers - Vosean Joseph, LB - Florida
84. Kansas City Chiefs (from SEA) - Damien Harris, RB - Alabama
85. Baltimore Ravens - Zach Allen, EDGE - Boston College
86. Houston Texans - Yodny Cajuste, OT - West Virginia
87. Chicago Bears - David Long, CB - Michigan
88. Detroit Lions (from PHI) - Marquise Blair, S - Utah
89. Indianapolis Colts - Bobby Okereke, LB - Stanford
90. Dallas Cowboys - Joejuan Williams, CB - Vanderbilt
Many fans are expecting an interior defensive linemen here, and with Khalen Saunders and Trysten Hill both still on the board, that’s a possibility. But if Joejuan Williams falls this far, the Cowboys may not be able to contain themselves. Williams stands at 6’2” and 208 pounds with 32.5” arms, and has the potential to become a legitimate starting cornerback with a year or two to develop. That’s what Dallas should be looking for, and they will be hard pressed to pass up on such a golden opportunity here.
91. Los Angeles Chargers - Khalen Saunders, DT - Western Illinois
92. Seattle Seahawks (from KC) - Oshane Ximines, EDGE - Old Dominion
93. New York Jets (from NO) - Jamel Dean, CB - Auburn
94. Los Angeles Rams - Terry McLaurin, WR - Ohio State
95. Cleveland Browns (from NE) - Isaiah Johnson, CB - Houston
96. Washington Redskins - Drue Tranquill, LB - Notre Dame
97. New England Patriots - Joe Giles-Harris, LB - Duke
98. Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR) - Anthony Nelson, EDGE - Iowa
99. Los Angeles Rams - Trysten Hill, DL - UCF
100. Carolina Panthers - Maxx Crosby, EDGE - Eastern Michigan
101. New England Patriots - Will Grier, QB - Boise State
102. Baltimore Ravens - Kris Boyd, CB - Texas
Fourth Round
103. Arizona Cardinals - Kahale Warring, TE - San Diego State
104. San Francisco 49ers - Sione Takitaki, LB - BYU
105. New York Jets - Mecole Hardman, WR - Georgia
106. Oakland Raiders - Justin Hollins, EDGE - Oregon
107. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Riley Ridley, WR - Alabama
108. New York Giants - Ben Powers, OL - Oklahoma
109. Jacksonville Jaguars - Benny Snell, RB - Kentucky
110. Cincinnati Bengals - Gerald Willis, DT - Miami
111. Detroit Lions - JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR - Stanford
112. Buffalo Bills - Daylon Mack, DT - Texas A&M
113. Baltimore Ravens (from DEN) - Dennis Daley, OT - South Carolina
114. Green Bay Packers - Dillon Mitchell, WR - Oregon
115. Carolina Panthers - Josh Oliver, TE - San Jose State
116. Miami Dolphins - Jarrett Stidham, QB - Auburn
117. Atlanta Falcons - Connor McGovern, OL - Penn State
118. Green Bay Packers (from WAS) - Nate Davis, OG - Charlotte
119. Cleveland Browns - Jaquan Johnson, S - Miami
120. Minnesota Vikings - Tytus Howard, OT - Alabama State
121. Tennessee Titans - Kingsley Keke, DL - Texas A&M
122. Pittsburgh Steelers - Bobby Evans, OT - Oklahoma
123. Baltimore Ravens - Justice Hill, RB - Oklahoma State
124. Seattle Seahawks - Michael Jackson, CB - Miami
125. Denver Broncos (from HOU) - Emeke Egbule, LB - Houston
126. Chicago Bears - Will Harris, S - Boston College
127. Philadelphia Eagles - Max Scharping, OT - Northern Illinois
128. Dallas Cowboys - Daniel Wise, DT - Kansas
After passing up on Saunders and Hill earlier, the Cowboys find a 3-technique defensive tackle. As mentioned in the scouting report on him, Daniel Wise is an athletic and strong defensive tackle who played out of position far too often at Kansas. As a 3-technique in Dallas, Wise can use his quickness and gap penetration skills to serve as an effective interior rusher, pairing nicely with the rest of the defensive tackles the Cowboys have.
129. Indianapolis Colts - Alize Mack, TE - Notre Dame
130. Los Angeles Chargers - DeMarkus Lodge, WR - Ole Miss
131. Buffalo Bills (from KC) - Devin Singletary, RB - Florida Atlantic
132. New York Giants (from NO) - Dontavius Russell, DL - Auburn
133. Los Angeles Rams - Darius Slayton, WR - Auburn
134. New England Patriots - Chuma Edoga, OT - USC
135. Indianapolis Colts - Darrell Henderson, RB - Memphis
136. Dallas Cowboys - Jakobi Meyers, WR - NC State
The Cowboys signed Randall Cobb to be their slot receiver in 2019, but it’s only a one-year deal so they’ll likely try to find someone who can develop in that role for the future. Jakobi Meyers is that player, and he’s someone the team met with back at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Meyers may not have the elite speed to be an outside receiver, but he’s shifty and quick in his route running, which will help him in the slot. His 6’2” frame also makes him a big target for Dak Prescott.
137. Atlanta Falcons - Gardner Minshew, QB - Washington State
138. Philadelphia Eagles - Saivion Smith, CB - Alabama
Fifth Round
139. Arizona Cardinals - Ugochukwu Amadi, S - Oregon
140. Oakland Raiders (from NYJ) - Trayveon Williams, RB - Texas A&M
141. Pittsburgh Steelers (from OAK) - Corey Ballentine, CB - Washburn
142. New York Giants (from SF) - Ross Pierschbacher, OL - Alabama
143. New York Giants - Antoine Wesley, WR - Texas Tech
144. Cleveland Browns (from JAX) - Stanley Morgan Jr., WR - Nebraska
145. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Beau Benzschawel, OG - Wisconsin
146. Detroit Lions - Rodney Anderson, RB - Oklahoma
148. Denver Broncos - Mike Bell, S - Fresno State
149. Cincinnati Bengals - KeeSean Johnson, WR - Fresno State
150. Green Bay Packers - Jahlani Tavai, LB - Hawaii
151. Miami Dolphins - Miles Boykin, WR - Notre Dame
152. Atlanta Falcons - Isaac Nauta, TE - Georgia
153. Washington Redskins - Sutton Smith, EDGE - Northern Illinois
154. Carolina Panthers - Jordan Ta’amu, QB - Ole Miss
155. Cleveland Browns - Germaine Pratt, LB - NC State
156. Denver Broncos (from MIN) - Terry Godwin, WR - Georgia
157. Tennessee Titans - Anthony Johnson, WR - Buffalo
158. Buffalo Bills (from PIT) - David Long, LB - West Virginia
159. Seattle Seahawks - David Sills V, WR - West Virginia
160. Baltimore Ravens - Travis Fulgham, WR - Old Dominion
161. Houston Texans - Myles Gaskin, RB - Washington
162. Chicago Bears - Preston Williams, WR - Colorado State
163. Philadelphia Eagles - Te’Von Coney, LB - Notre Dame
164. Indianapolis Colts - Gary Jennings, Jr., WR - West Virginia
165. Dallas Cowboys - Alexander Mattison, RB - Boise State
Alexander Mattison appears to be one of the most complete running backs in this draft class, for reasons I broke down earlier. His problem is that he looked like a world-beater against the Mid Western Conference, not the SEC or Big Ten. All of this works out for Dallas, who not only get a steal of a prospect at 165 but also get to deepen their Boise State-Dallas pipeline. Mattison will fit perfectly as the backup to Ezekiel Elliott, and should be able to handle 10 to 15 carries a game with ease, although that likely won’t happen.
166. Los Angeles Chargers - Kaden Smith, TE - Stanford
167. Kansas City Chiefs - Tyler Roemer, OT - San Diego State
168. New Orleans Saints - Devine Ozigbo, RB - Nebraska
169. Los Angeles Rams - Karan Higdon, RB - Michigan
170. Cleveland Browns (from NE) - Mike Edwards, S - Kentucky
171. New York Giants - Mark Fields, CB - Clemson
172. Atlanta Falcons - Khari Willis, S - Michigan State
173. Washington Redskins - Mike Weber, RB - Ohio State

223. Cincinnati Bengals - Montre Hartage, CB - Northwestern
224. Detroit Lions - Tre Lamar, LB - Clemson
225. Buffalo Bills - Ulysees Gilbert III, LB - Akron
226. Green Bay Packers - Derwin Gray, OT - Maryland
227. Washington Redskins - Michael Dogbe, DL - Temple
228. Buffalo Bills (from CAR) - Darwin Thompson, RB - Utah State

230. Atlanta Falcons - Jazz Ferguson, WR - Northwestern State
231. New Orleans Saints (from CLE) - Josiah Tauaefa, LB - UTSA
232. New York Giants (from MIN) - Wyatt Ray, EDGE - Boston College
233. Miami Dolphins (from TEN) - Terronne Prescod, OG - NC State
234. Miami Dolphins (from PIT) - Alex Bars, OG - Notre Dame
235. Oakland Raiders (from SEA) - Kevin Wilkins, DL - Rutgers
236. Jacksonville Jaguars (from BAL) - Lil’Jordan Humphrey, WR - Texas
237. Denver Broncos (from HOU) - Penny Hart, WR - Georgia State
238. Chicago Bears - Zach Gentry, TE - Michigan
239. New England Patriots (from PHI) - John Cominsky, DL - Charleston
240. Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Wingard, S - Wyoming
241. Dallas Cowboys - Dre Greenlaw, LB - Arkansas
Linebacker didn’t seem to be an area of focus for Dallas, but they brought in four linebackers for pre-draft visits, and Dre Greenlaw was one of them. Greenlaw is an athlete first and foremost, and he has some really good sideline-to-sideline ability. The biggest knock on him is that he isn’t mentally ready to be a starting linebacker, as he has troubles breaking on the ball quick enough. In Dallas, he’ll get to learn from the best, Sean Lee, while also contributing on special teams.

251. Los Angeles Rams - Jamal Peters, CB - Mississippi State
252. New England Patriots - Alec Ingold, FB - Wisconsin
253. Washington Redskins - Darius West, S - Kentucky
254. Arizona Cardinals - Terrill Hanks, LB - New Mexico State
