The 2019 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching and with the month of April, it's officially draft season. This week on the PFF Podcast, our very own Steve Palazzolo & Mike Renner took their turn at a competitive mock draft that saw them alternate picks for the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The results and subsequent picks for some teams may surprise you while others certainly align with our most recent 2019 NFL Draft Big Board. Check it out for yourself and keep up-to-date with all the latest NFL draft news on Twitter.
All 32 picks from the first round:
1. Arizona Cardinals (Steve Palazzolo) – Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
“We're the GMs, we're doing this as what we would do … The upgrade is strong enough there.”
2. San Francisco 49ers (Mike Renner) – Nick Bosa, Edge, Ohio State
“As sure things go, if he stays healthy, he's going to be a productive NFL player.”
3. New York Jets (SP) – Josh Allen, Edge, Kentucky
“In a real-life scenario, this is a trade-down situation, as the Jets general manager … He's got a top-five grade for us and he fits a need.”
4. Oakland Raiders (MR) – Quinnen Williams, DI, Alabama
“The Raiders have Maurice Hurst, no one on this roster is going to prevent from picking Quinnen Williams.”
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (SP) – Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
“There are still some question marks at guard, going to go Jonah Williams, he could play guard, but not just because his arms are short, there is obviously starting tackle ability there.”
6. New York Giants (MR) – Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
“Right tackle is the need there for the Giants and right tackle is the pick … The roster basically pencils them into a top five or top 10 pick next year, that's when you get the quarterback.”
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (SP) – D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
“With Nick Foles, we have to build around him on offense, and even though Metcalf isn't a perfect prospect, he may be a perfect pick for Foles.”
8. Detroit Lions (MR) – Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
“What he can do from a press-man alignment makes him the fit … Greedy is at his best in press-man coverage while (Byron) Murphy is better in zone coverage while the Lions are extremely man-heavy coverage.”
9. Buffalo Bills (SP) – Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
“The Bills aren't tied to Kevin Johnson but Byron Murphy fits perfectly opposite Tre'Davious White in that scheme, as Murphy is perhaps the best zone coverage corner.”
10. Denver Broncos (MR) – Devin White, LB, LSU
“They need a guy who can cover ground and Devin White is a perfect fit in Vic Fangio's defensive scheme.”
11. Cincinnati Bengals (SP) – Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
“With Devin White gone, with the board having fallen this way, not expecting Dwayne Haskins to be here, and quarterback is the place you have to take shots.”
12. Green Bay Packers (MR) – Jerry Tillery, DI, Notre Dame
“Tillery is that good. Tillery is a top-10 player in this draft class.”
13. Miami Dolphins (SP) – Brian Burns, Edge, Florida State
“If you're looking at quarterbacks here, the next guys up are not here (as high first-round picks). Burns led the nation in pressures during the regular season.”
14. Atlanta Falcons (MR) – Ed Oliver, DI, Houston
“Atlanta has added athletes at every level, someone to pair with Grady Jarrett is a need.”
15. Washington Redskins (SP) – Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
“The dropoff at cornerback is too big to not take Baker here whereas wide receivers can be selected early in Round 2.”
16. Carolina Panthers (SP) – Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State
“Daryl Williams is only locked up for one more year … Risner can play anywhere along the offensive line and gives flexibility for Carolina.”
17. New York Giants (MR) – Jeffery Simmons, DI, Mississippi State
“You get two blue-chip players with Jawaan Taylor and Simmons on the interior in this class so far.”
18. Minnesota Vikings (MR) – Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
“Minnesota goes offensive line and they go best available here.”
19. Tennessee Titans (SP) – A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
“Tennessee is in a position to add playmakers … Brown can get open for Marcus Mariota.”
20. Pittsburgh Steelers (MR) – Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
“Bush can cover ground and adds coverage to the linebacking corps.”
21. Seattle Seahawks (SP) – Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware
“Adderley has legit free safety skills and the Seahawks need a true free safety with Earl Thomas' departure.”
22. Baltimore Ravens (MR) – Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
“Offensive lineman gets more value in the Ravens potential run-heavy offense and Ford fits the need.”
23. Houston Texans (SP) – T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
“Hockenson is a stretch the seam kind of guy who can get open.”
24. Oakland Raiders (MR) – Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State
“Positional value makes a reach here for a cornerback … Oruwariye had the best one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl.”
25. Philadelphia Eagles (SP) – David Long, CB, Michigan
“Long is sneaking into the first round as well as the Eagles need to continue to build cornerback depth.”
26. Indianapolis Colts (MR) – J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
“Arcega-Whiteside fits perfectly with what Indianapolis already has on offense.”
27. Oakland Raiders (MR) – Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State
“Pair Butler with Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams, give Derek Carr no excuse.”
28. Los Angeles Chargers (SP) – Christian Wilkins, DI, Clemson
“The Chargers have had issues for years on the defensive interior and Wilkins brings a little bit more versatility.”
29. Kansas City Chiefs (SP) – Darnell Savage Jr., S, Maryland
“With sub-4.4 speed, he can fly, Savage accelerates through the catch point in coverage.”
30. Green Bay Packers (MR) – Andy Isabella, WR, UMass
“If you want to pencil him into the slot, sure, he can do that. But he is a vertical threat and can torch defensive backs.”
31. Los Angeles Rams (SP) – Chase Winovich, Edge, Michigan
“The best edge defender to come out of Michigan, and he can win in the run game.”
32. New England Patriots (MR) – Dexter Lawrence, DI, Clemson
“Lawrence is a disruptor on the interior and is only 21 years old.”
