Latest 2019 Mock: Top 10 Picks At the Bye Week! UPDATED

Updated: October 27, 2018

We are at the midway point of the year. Around this time of the year the NFL season begins to shake out. Some teams are blowing it up like the Giants and Raiders, while some teams have hit a stride like the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers.

What if your team is struggling? Well, then draft season comes early. Check out what draft expert CowboysFan thinks your squad will do in his new 2019 NFL mock draft below!

1. Cardinals: Jonah Williams OT Alabama

The Cardinals need to find a way to protect Josh Rosen. You want to surround him with talent on O line and at WR. Sure I think Nick Bosa is a better player right now, but Jonah Williams isn’t a bad pick either. Williams has been a long time starter for Bama, and has obviously helped pave the way for the Bama ground game, but due to the emergence of Tua, we have seen him as a pass protector. His massive frame allows him to anchor with ease, and has great technique pushing rushers wide and away from the QB. No it’s not flashy, and no he’s not going to get stats, but if Josh Rosen ends up with 4000 yards passing next year, Williams will be a key reason why.

2. 49ers: Nick Bosa DE Ohio State

The 49ers just need to add talent all around. They do have Buckner, and have added Fred Warner, which has helped them, but adding an edge rusher like Bosa is a big deal. Bosa has natural bend and quickness as a pass rusher. He has an NFL body type. I have a higher grade than I had his brother, and I was very high on Joey. Bosa may have to answer questions about injury, and why he declined to play this season, but I don’t doubt his passion for the game.

3. Raiders: Quinnen Williams DT Alabama

Quinnen Williams is a big guy at 6’4″ 290 lbs. He’s both strong and quick for a guy his size. I’ve heard Dane Brugler compare him to Gerald McCoy. While I wouldn’t go that far, it’s not hard to see the potential this guy has. He is so fast off the line OG don’t really have the time to set up their blocks. He could improve as a run defender though. He isn’t bad, but you can see him being a little too eager to pass rush, he will abandon his assignment.

4. Giants: Greg Little OT Ole Miss

In this mock Justin Herbert returns to school which is why you see an OT here. Getting Greg Little, a talented and large OT to help pave the road for Saquon, and being the blindside protector of the heir apparent. Sure you want a QB here, but why reach and make things hard. Take a guy who can help your QB and be a big piece going forward.

5. Bills: Ed Oliver DT Houston

The Bills are still looking to replace a few guys they’ve lost. They need to surround their young QB with talent. I do not think there are many guys worth a first round pick at WR especially this early. Oliver is a player who can play inside or outside at the next level. He’s physical, quick, and strong. He is equally good in run and pass defense. I would love for the Bills to get this player and build around him.

6. Browns: Byron Murphy CB Washington

Byron Murphy Washington Murphy is the next in line to come out of the new DBU. Byron isn’t the biggest guy, but don’t let it fool you into believing he can’t or won’t tackle. He is very physical, even though he’s only around 185 lbs. Exceptional coverage skills, allow him to put WR on lockdown, and with the size to hang around with some TEs. Browns were criticized for taking Ward last year, well they add another guy to that secondary in Murphy who can be the opposite WR.

7. Jets: Clelin Ferrell DE Clemson

The Jets are another team that simply needs to add talent, and Ferrell is one who can add pass rush outside and let Williams wreak havoc inside. Ferrell is an elite pass rusher, who is also a good run defender. He’s simply good all around. He isn’t small, and he can win with power and finesse.

8. Colts: Greedy Williams CB LSU

By year’s end the race to be the top DB will come down to Williams and Murphy. In this scenario Murphy edges out Greedy. Greedy is an elite cover corner with speed. He’s also around 6’2″ which gives him much needed size outside. He excels in man, has good turn of direction skills. His weaknesses are that he is quite light and isn’t really physical as a tackler or run defender. But if you just want coverage guys he’s your man. The Colts can really bolster their defense with this pick. Sure O line could be an option, but I don’t really have an O lineman that’s similar in talent to Greedy left.

9. Falcons: Deandre Baker CB Georgia

Falcons have been comprimised on defense through a lot of injuries. Adding a guy like Baker can help mitigate some of that with his play. They already have Trufant, but there is nothing wrong with Baker. Baker is only about 5’10”, but his tackling ability are second to none in this class. He’s a coverage corner who can be excellent in zone or man, which is highly beneficial to a Falcons defense that takes pride in flexibility. The issue for Baker will be size, but also his lack of athletic ability, I don’t think he’s that fast. Neither was Desmond King and look how that turned out. Chargers got a first round talent in round 5, and everyone in the league is scratching their heads.

10. Buccaneers: Deionte Thompson S Alabama

6’2″ 195 lbs. The Bucs are a mess defensively, currently the worst defense in the league. Thompson will help Tampa use the cover 2 they covet. Thompson is a free range safety, able to go from sideline to sideline and makes use of his coverage skills to make plays on the ball. He can be a bit wild as a tackler, throwing his body around which could cause injury. He can play in the box or out in coverage, which gives him the ability to be a force as a defender.
