    2019 NFL Mock Draft: Raiders find Khalil Mack's replacement, Browns add WR after Josh Gordon trade

    Jon Gruden has complained about the lack of pass rush so it makes sense that the Raiders would draft a pass rusher




    We're two weeks into the NFL season and 2019 draft storylines are starting to take shape. The Bills are making their case for the league's worst team, Eli Manning continues look every bit the 37-year-old quarterback he is, and, in a development no one could have predicted, the Raiders are suddenly unable to generate a pass rush after shipping Khalil Mack out of town.
    In our second mock draft of the season, Oakland finds its next pass rusher (two of them, in fact), the Giants land a quarterback, and the Browns prepare for life without Josh Gordon.
    More on the NFLBecause you're wondering, we've ordered the picks based on each team's records this season then sorted by how they finished in 2017. It's why the Buccaneers (2-0 this season but 5-11 last season), for example, pick before the Rams (2-0 this season but 11-5 last season).

    1. New York Giants

    Drew Lock, QB, Missouri. We can make all the excuses we want about the offensive line but the reality is that the Giants need to move on from Eli Manning. At 37, he is who he is, which at this stage of the proceedings is a quarterback who is perpetually panicked in the pocket -- even when he has time -- and it's affecting the rest of the offense.



    2. Houston Texans

    Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss. Deshaun Watson has been sacked seven times in two games. Coming into the season, the offensive line was the biggest unknown and the unit has struggled -- along with just about everybody else. The Texans were our favorites to win the division and through two weeks they're alone in last place in the AFC South.

    3. Oakland Raiders

    Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State. The Raiders are 0-2 and after each loss, new (old) coach Jon Gruden made his way to the podium to announce to the media that Oakland needs a pass rush. Of course, they had one of the best pass rushers on the planet a month ago but decided Khalil Mack wasn't worth the money. So now the Raiders will have to wait until the offseason to bolster the defensive line.

    4. Arizona Cardinals

    Ed Oliver, DT, Houston. When you lose your first two games 24-6 and 34-0, you're desperate for help everywhere. The Cardinals have their franchise quarterback in Josh Rosen so why not start rebuilding the defense with arguably the draft's best player.

    5. Detroit Lions

    Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State. New coach Matt Patricia is a defensive guy and as a member of the Bill Belichick coaching tree he was brought to Detroit to make this team, which finished 9-7 last season, into consistent winners. In two games, the Lions have given up 78 points and 359 rushing yards. They're also winless. Jones is a hybrid pass-rushing specialist who fills an obvious need.



    6. Buffalo Bills

    Jonah Williams, LT, Alabama. We suspect the Bills will slowly creep up the draft board as the losses pile up. One of the ancillary benefits to being one of NFL's worst teams is that you can have your pick of the litter come draft day. And for the Bills, who have needs up and down the roster, protecting 2018 first-round pick Josh Allen will be key to avoiding drafting early again in 2020.

    7. Oakland Raiders (via Bears)

    Brian Burns, DE, Florida State. In case you haven't heard, the pass rush is a huge concern for Jon Gruden. And since you can't replace Mack with just one player, the Raiders take two in first seven picks.

    8. Cleveland Browns

    N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State. With Josh Gordon officially done in Cleveland, the Browns add Harry, a big-play downfield threat who would nicely complement Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and David Njoku.

    9. Pittsburgh Steelers

    Devin White, LB, LSU. The Steelers haven't drafted this high since 2000, when they used the No. 8 pick on Plaxico Burress. Four years later, they grabbed Ben Roethlisberger with the No. 11 pick. This time around, they grab one of the draft's most athletic players and fill a need in the middle of the defense.



    10. Seattle Seahawks

    Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan. The Seahawks have needs on both sides of the ball, including along the offensive line where Russell Wilson is perpetually running for his life, but the team chooses to bolster the interior defensive line with this pick.

    11. Indianapolis Colts

    Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson. Margus Hunt has been a pleasant surprise but Ferrell can be a game-changer along a defensive line that is need of depth.

    12. New York Jets

    Trey Adams, OT, Washington. Just like Josh Allen in Buffalo, the Jets want to protect their franchise quarterback, Sam Darnold, with a cornerstone of the offensive line.

    13. San Francisco 49ers

    A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss. Tight end George Kittle leads the teams in receptions through two games (seven for 112 yards) and is second on the team in yards per reception (16.0). First on the list? Fullback Kyle Juszczyk (four catches, 69 yards, 17.3 YPC). Put another way: Give Jimmy Garppolo a deep threat.



    14. Washington Redskins

    Anthony Johnson, WR, Buffalo. The run on wide receivers continues; Alex Smith has leaned heavily on his running backs and tight ends to start the season. Chris Thompson leads the team with 19 receptions through the first two games, Jordan Reed is second with 10. For an idea of just how bad it is, Adrian Peterson is fourth.

    15. Dallas Cowboys

    Noah Fant, TE, Iowa. Fant has just 12 catches for 112 yards and two scores through three games this season but he hauled in 11 touchdown passes as a sophomore in 2017. With Jason Witten now in the broadcast booth, Dak Prescott could use a reliable middle-of-the-field target.

    16. Los Angeles Chargers

    Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon. Adding help along the defensive line makes sense here but after passing on a quarterback last year, the Chargers take one in 2019. This assumes, of course, that Philip Rivers won't play forever.

    17. Tennessee Titans

    Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson. The Titans have struggled to keep their offensive line healthy, and the same holds for tight end, but adding a run-stuffer in the middle of this defense could also be an option. Which brings us to the 350-pound Lawrence, who has flashed some pass-rushing skills too.



    18. Baltimore Ravens

    Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State. Same pick as last week. The Ravens got production out of their new receivers in the first two weeks so perhaps they've finally cracked that riddle. If so, they can focus on other needs here, like replacing 35-year-old Terrell Suggs even though he's playing like he's 10 years younger.

    19. Atlanta Falcons

    Beau Benzschawel, OG, Wisconsin. Interior linemen Andy Levitre and Brandon Fusco are in their 30s and Benzschawel infuses some youth into the offensive line.

    20. Green Bay Packers (via Saints)

    Zach Allen, DE, Boston College. For as young and athletic as the Packers are in the secondary, Clay Matthews is 32 years old and hasn't registered a double-digit sack total since 2014.

    21. Carolina Panthers

    Joe Jackson, DE, Miami. Julius Peppers is 38 and Mario Addison is 31. And while Peppers could play another decade, the Panthers take Allen as insurance that he might not.



    22. Philadelphia Eagles

    Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina. Heading into Week 3, the Eagles are incredibly thin at wide receiver. Samuel is one of the most sure-handed wideouts in college football.

    23. New England Patriots

    Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia. Getting torched regularly by Blake Bortles only reaffirmed what we saw in Super Bowl LII: Eric Rowe isn't the long-term answer at cornerback.

    24. Green Bay Packers

    David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State. The Packers could also look to beef up the offensive line but Montgomery would give Aaron Rodgers something he hasn't had in a while: a proper running back who is also a threat catching passes coming out of the backfield.

    25. Minnesota Vikings

    Mitch Hyatt, OT, Clemson. The Vikings battled through injuries along the offensive line during preseason and they'll continue to protect $85 million man Kirk Cousins by adding one of the most fundamentally sound blockers in the draft.



    26. Denver Broncos

    Greedy Williams, CB, LSU. The Broncos parted ways with Aqib Talib in the offseason and Williams, who could end up being a top-10 pick by next spring, is too good to pass up here.

    27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State. Last season, the Bucs' defensive line ranked 20th against the run and was dead last in pass rushing, according to Football Outsiders' metrics. Simmons would fill an obvious need.

    28. Miami Dolphins

    Ryan Finley, QB, NC State. Ryan Tannehill if completely healthy and has looked sharp through the first two weeks of the season. He's completing 72.5 percent of his throws and has a passer rating of 104.9. But are we convinced he can consistently run Adam Gase's offense? Because if not, the Dolphins could target a quarterback.

    29. Cincinnati Bengals

    Tyler Petite, TE, USC. It's unclear if Tyler Eifert will ever return to form and with the Bengals' offensive line coming together, the team can focus on surrounding Andy Dalton with down-the-field playmakers.



    30. Jacksonville Jaguars

    Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State. Jacksonville lost left tackle Cam Robinson to an ACL injury on Sunday and with Blake Bortles playing the best football of his career, it's imperative to keep him upright.

    31. Kansas City Chiefs

    Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State. It's conceivable that Patrick Mahomes puts up 40 points every week, but on the off chance he doesn't, the Chiefs desperately need to fix their defense.

    32. Los Angeles Rams

    Josh Allen, OLB, Kentucky. The Rams have very few needs, but pass rusher is one of them and Allen fits the bill.

















    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

        I think a 3T is a smart move in round 1. Ive never been a huge fan of 2 gap DTs in the first round. Even when they get the Ngata comparisons. I wasnt really feeling the Vea bandwagon this year either. Nor Danny Shelton a couple years prior. Guys that a lot of members were interested in here.

        Would love Oliver.

          Good points. It may also make sense for us to just post draft related stuff on the man forum. Lets see how busy we get. We still have a lot of members here who wont venture outside of the main forum. lol Its crazy.

          The draft threads i move to the main forum always get way more action after i move them there.

          We will do a forum mock. Ill even bring in fans from other teams if i have to. I own another forum with all fans.

            Still dont want us to go QB in the first round this year. I only want our high drafted QB to sit one season. Not two or three. Rivers COULD very well get a two year extension and of course only they know if they will do that.

            I dont see anything exciting about Herbert. No mobility, not great stats. Dont know how good a QB class this will be yet. Mariotta has sucked so far in the NFL and many liked him and he has mobility. I dont think we need a guy to run the ball often, just a QB who can outrun DL to escape a rush and maybe run for a first down here and there. This guy isnt that.

              Wait did you just say he has no mobility? LOL if you say that then you have not watchedb any of his games. He has plenty of mobility.

                That's what I was going to say. Herbert has lots of mobility. Just watch the Stanford game last week.

                  what I mean is he's a pocket passer he's not a quarterback that's going to be running around making plays with his legs in the NFL. if you think he's going to be scrambling around in the NFL you're going to be disappointed. He don't look to be a lot faster than Philip Rivers.
                  Rivers ran a 4.95 at his combine, maybe Herbert runs a 4.9?... And looking a little less uncoordinated doing it lol.

                    He's no Marcus Mariota as far as running the ball goes but when he needs to he can get out of the pocket and scramble. He is more of a pocket passer then Mariota was. He will be a top three pick when he comes out whether it's after this season or next.

                        31) Rams * ILB Mack Wilson * not sure the value is here, albeit is def a need
                        32) Pats * 3T * gets pressure on the QB, not so much a factor in run game

                        still on the board: CB DeAndre Baker, Trayvon Mullen, FS Nasir Adderly, WIL Devin Bush, OLB/DE Brian Burns, Montez Sweat, DE/OLB Clelin Ferrell, DE Zach Allen, 3T Rashan Gary, Jerry Tillery

                          02) SF * DE Nick Bosa *
                          03) Jags * QB Dwayne Haskins *
                          04) Az * DT Quinnen Williams * is he good enough to convince them to wait on an OT ??
                          05) Bucs * DT Ed Oliver * the kind of guy that gets bad press in the draft process only to quiet his doubters/dissenters once in the league
                          06) Giants * DT Jeffrey Simmons * they gotta get back to what made them a SB team/contender
                          07) Jets * OT Jonah Williams * dude has taken some shots in draft circles, and is still prolly your best bet @LT
                          08) Lions * OLB Josh Allen *
                          09) Denver * NT Dexter Lawrence * guys like this not only solidify your Dline but anchor your entire defense
                          10) Bills * OC Tyler Biadasz * this guy is that good
                          11) Cincy * OT Yodny Cajuste * find it a bit on the mindboggling side that peoples think this guy might last (well) into the second
                          12) Pack * ILB Devin White *
                          13) Miami * OT Greg Little * this is Tunsil territory as this is about where I had him slotted last time out
                          14) Atlanta * RT Jawaan Taylor * gonna buy into the hype on this guy for now
                          15) WashDC * OC Dalton Risner * do they have a spot for him inbetween Brandon Scherff and Jonathan Cooper ??
                          16) Carolina * OT Andre Dillard * some blindside assistance for Cam
                          17) Browns * OT David Edwards * they could use a lefty here, but the Baker will take what he can get
                          18) Minny * OG Cody Ford * some think he can play tackle, albeit the Vikes need a guard (or two)
                          19) Titans * TE Noah Fant * think this is what would most benefit MM
                          20) Steelers * 5T Raekwon Davis *
                          21) Seattle * S Deionte Thompson *
                          22) Ravens * DE/OLB Jachai Polite *
                          23) Texans * OC Erick McCoy *
                          24) Az * CB Andraez Williams * in hindsight, might be/have been wiser to go Jonah Williams over QW
                          25) Philly * DT Christian Wilkins *
                          26) Indy * CB Byron Murphy * has the look of a difference maker
                          27) Az * WR Kelvin Harmon *
                          28) Diego * QB Jarrett Stidham *
                          29) KC * CB Kristian Fulton * would be mighty tempted by the likes of Devin Bush here
                          30) Pack * TE TJ Hockenson * think the owners here will take a liking to him in Green Bay
                          31) Rams * ILB Mack Wilson * not sure the value is here, albeit is def a need
                          32) Pats * 3T * gets pressure on the QB, not so much a factor in run game

                          still on the board: CB DeAndre Baker, Trayvon Mullen, FS Nasir Adderly, WIL Devin Bush, OLB/DE Brian Burns, Montez Sweat, DE/OLB Clelin Ferrell, DE Zach Allen, 3T Rashan Gary, Jerry Tillery
