2019 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Giants Take QB No. 1 in First Projections- At the midway point of the college football season, a look at who is positioning themselves for the first round in April.
By Kalyn Kahler and Albert Breer
1. N.Y. Giants: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
While no quarterback in the 2019 class is a lock for the top spot, the 6' 6" Herbert has made his case this season, drawing comparisons to Marcus Mariota and Carson Wentz2. Indianapolis: Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
Indianapolis needs a defensive playmaker, making Bosa an easy choice. His core muscle injury, which required surgery and led to him withdrawing from school this week3. San Francisco: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU4. Arizona: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston5. Oakland: Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan6. Atlanta: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
The Falcons need a more imposing pass rush. Ferrell is a versatile, every-down player who can help add much-needed depth to a group that has struggled to get going this season.
8. Buffalo: Jeffrey Simmons, DT, Mississippi Statepleading no contest to simple assault in 2016 after striking a woman several times during a fight.
9. Tampa Bay: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Lock is a rare four-year starter who has improved each season, and this year he is preparing in a more pro-style offense. Tampa Bay seems to have reached a breaking point with Jameis Winston, who has been unreliable on and off the field.
10. Detroit: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson12. Houston: Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
The Texans have struggled badly up front the pas two seasons, and Little could step in immediately at left tackle. The 6' 6", 325-pounder consistently wins against edge defenders.
13. Dallas: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
Only two receivers were taken in the first round in 2018, and none in the top 20, creating a thirst for receivers in this draft. Dallas has a major need for an outside receiver. Enter A.J. Brown, who has demonstrated a consistent ability to make tough catches in traffic.
14. Jacksonville: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia15. Philadelphia: Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia16. Seattle: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
The Legion of Boom rebuild continues with the 6' 5", 325-pound Brown, a bulky but explosive interior pass-rusher.
17. N.Y. Jets: Montez Sweat, DE/OLB, Mississippi State18. Minnesota: Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama
This draft is loaded with defensive linemen. The 6' 7", 305-pound Davis had 8.5 sacks last year, and had proven he can be a force in the pass rush even if his numbers have dropped this season.
19. Pittsburgh: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan20. Miami: Zach Allen, DL, Boston College
Allen has the speed to be a pass-rush talent but is also sound as a run defender. He had 100 total tackles last season.
21. Tennessee: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa22. Green Bay: Devin White, LB, LSU23. Oakland (via Chicago): Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama24. Cincinnati: Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State
He continues to build on his breakout junior year, as Oruwariye has the size and ball skills to thrive as a boundary corner.
25. Washington: Josh Allen, LB, Kentucky
We wrote about Allen a few weeks ago26. Carolina: Jonah Williams, OL, Alabama27. L.A. Chargers: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State28. Baltimore: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington29. New England: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
Wilkins is a versatile defensive lineman, a great fit for Bill Belichick, who prefers players who can do a number of things well.
30. Green Bay (via New Orleans): Jerry Tillery, DL, Notre Dame
Lanky (6' 7") and explosive, Tillery should provide an immediate impact as an interior pass-rusher at the next level.
31. Kansas: Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson32. L.A. Rams: Jalen Jelks, DE/OLB, Oregon
As great as the Aaron Donald-Ndamukong Suh tandem is inside, the Rams need to get better around them. Jelks is a bit raw, but the 6' 7", 245-pound edge rusher is loaded with potential.

The Wasted Decade is done.
