PFF 2019 NFL Mock Draft 1irrelevant and simply an estimate based on still room to grow
The best defensive player
The Browns add another piece to their evolving defense, this time on the interior of the defensive line. Simmons can rush the passer and stop the run, all leading to a 90.0 overall grade that ranks sixth among interior defensive linemen this season.
Williams excels in press man coverage due to his combination of size and speed. He adds a key piece to a Detroit secondary that wants to play more man coverage under new head coach Matt Patricia.
One of the breakout stars early in 2018, Thompson has shown that he can be a do-it-all safety, from playing deep zones to covering the slot to playing in the box. His 93.3 overall grade leads all safeties through four weeks.
New quarterback Sam Darnold needs help on the outside and Brown brings one of the best deep threats in the draft. He ranks seventh in the nation with 195 yards on deep passes this season.
Washington adds a weapon on the outside for QB Alex Smith as Arcega-Whiteside is one of the best in the nation as creating plays down the field due to his body control and physicality. His 89.7 overall grade ranks third among receivers this season.
Another breakout star
The Cowboys have been looking for an interior pass-rusher for a few years and Jones fits the bill
The annual exercise of mocking an athletic linebacker to the Packers continues. This time, Bush adds sideline-to-sideline speed
Youth is needed up front for Carolina and Jelks is one of the best edge rushers in the draft. He has the No. 7 grade among edge defenders at 86.6 overall to go with 16 pressures on 95 rushes.
The search continues for consistent cornerback play in Pittsburgh and Oruwariye adds a playmaker with excellent size. He has two interceptions and four pass breakups on 27 targets this season.
Green Bay adds even more speed to the roster, this time on the other side of the ball. Fant is an explosive tight end who can stretch the seam, but he must cut down on his nine drops on 51 catchable passes over the last two seasons.
The Vikings are strong up front, but youth is needed on the interior defensive line. Enter Wilkins who is excellent against the run and off to a strong start as a pass-rusher this season, grading at 90.0 with seven pressures on only 56 rushes.
After missing out on a quarterback last year, the Patriots look to the future with Haskins who has shown the ability to throw with zip, touch and accuracy in the early going here in 2018. His 91.0 overall grade is currently ranked sixth in the nation among quarterbacks.
