2019 NFL Mock Draft: Matt Miller’s Latest 3-Round Picks with One Month to Go

Major changes to the mock draft should surprise long-time readers as quarterbacks, offensive tackles and defensive linemen dominate the top 20 selections. And we didn’t leave you out Bears, Browns and Cowboys fans—this mock draft goes three rounds deep.nike nfl throwback jersey

What causes the big shift in this edition of the mock draft? Free agency.

Teams went into the legal tampering period and started spending money like crazy. The Jets signed Le’Veon Bell and C.J. Mosley, adding clarity to the team’s possible direction at No. 3 overall. The 49ers brought in Kwon Alexander and Dee Ford, but could still go with the best defensive player available at No. 2.

Throughout the draft order, team needs were heavily affected by free agents gained, lost or recruited. That means a mock draft unlike anything you’ve seen under my byline all year long.

The Pick: QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma throwback nfl jersey

You were promised changes in the mock draft, but this won’t be one of them. If anything, since our last mock draft was published, this pick has become even more likely. Everyone in the NFL was shouting it from the rooftops in Indianapolis: Murray is the Cardinals’ guy. shop nfl jerseys All that’s left is for the team to officially put Josh Rosen on the trade block.

Until NFL sources stop talking about Murray to the Cardinals, that’s where he will end up in mock drafts. These are articles based on what analysts think will happen, not what we would do as individuals running the teams. nfl shop jerseys

If the Cardinals are going all-in on Kliff Kingsbury, they have to do so by letting him choose his own quarterback.

The Pick: EDGE Nick Bosa, Ohio State

If Kyler Murray is drafted No. 1 overall then the happiest team in the NFL will be the San Francisco 49ers. Simply because Ohio State’s edge-rusher Nick Bosa will be on the board.nfl jersey shop

Bosa, teamed with free agent signees Dee Ford and Kwon Alexander, could give the 49ers a dangerous defense. With Richard Sherman, DeForest Buckner and last year’s breakout rookie Fred Warner coming back as marquee starters, this group looks playoff-caliber on paper.nfl jerseys shop

There will be some conversation about Quinnen Williams here, there has to be based on his strength and talent, but the best move for the 49ers is to select Bosa here. This allows for a defensive line of Bosa, Buckner, Arik Armstead and Ford with former first nfl jerseys cheap shop -rounder Solomon Thomas in place for sub-package interior rushing roles.  nike nfl shop
