With the conclusion of Super Bowl LIII, it's officially NFL draft season! Here's a look at our first NFL mock draft following the Super Bowl.
Still the consensus top player on the board, Bosa would make quite the bookend opposite Chandler Jones in Arizona. More likely, the Cardinals will trade down to a quarterback-needy team, and Bosa's draft spot will fall as a result.
The 49ers are hoping to finish developing a dominant defensive line with former first-round picks DeForest Buckner and Solomon Thomas, and Williams could be the final piece. The youthful defensive tackle has jumped up draft boards after finishing with eight sacks and 71 tackles in his sophomore season at Alabama.
The Jets are encouraged by Sam Darnold's rookie development, but the value in this spot is on defense. Allen put himself in the conversation as the top pick in the draft after recording 17 sacks in his final season with the Wildcats.
The Raiders are in a position to take the best player available, and that very well could be Oliver. His stock has dropped slightly after missing time last season with a knee injury, but he still has dominant pass-rushing potential after recording 13.5 sacks and 53 tackles for loss in three seasons for the Cougars.
Bruce Arians has been hired to fix Jameis Winston, and wide receiver could be a path if DeSean Jackson isn't back for 2019. However, the value here is better on defense, and White could potentially replace Kwon Alexander, who suffered a torn ACL last season and is set for free agency.
Haskins still looks like the top quarterback on the board, but he probably won't fall this far if recent history of teams trading up for signal-callers in the draft is any indication. If the Giants see Haskins as Eli Manning's replacement, there are plenty of trade-up possibilities.
Jaguars could be in the market for a quarterback, but more likely they'll be looking at the available veterans (Nick Foles, Joe Flacco) with a roster just one year removed from an AFC championship appearance. If that does happen, protecting the investment will be the priority, and Williams could join former Alabama teammate Cam Robinson to give Jacksonville two solid, young tackles in Jacksonville.
It looks like the Lions could be a full rebuild with the way they've been trending under head coach Matt Patricia over the last year. Detroit acquired Damon Harrison last year, and Gary would further shore up Patricia's defense after recording 9.5 sacks in 22 games over the last two seasons.
The retirement of Kyle Williams leaves big shoes to fill in Buffalo. Simmons has the skills to fit well next to run-stuffer Star Lotulelei in the 4-3, with seven sacks and 30 tackles for loss over the last two seasons.
Denver has been connected so much to Lock that it's almost creepy, and at this point they could be required to use significant draft capital to trade up for him, with the possibility that another team could trade up in the top 10 to get him. Lock made nice progress at Mizzou last season, but his accuracy on short throws is still a question mark.
Cincinnati's defense got old quickly, particularly on the back end. Williams has a chance to immediately impact what was one of the worst defenses in football during 2018.
Rodgers is having a tougher time staying healthy as he ages, as he fought through leg injuries in 2018 and missed time the previous year with a collarbone injury. While Ford will probably end up at tackle eventually, he has the ability to help at guard early in his career.
Will Murray settle on a football career? We'll find out soon. The Dolphins are expected to strip down and move on from Ryan Tannehill, and Murray would make for an intriguing development project next season. The Heisman Trophy winner was responsible for more than 5,300 yards of offense last season.
This is a huge draft for Atlanta's front office after a big decline last season. The team needs help on the offensive line to add to Jake Matthews and Alex Mack.
It hasn't been fun being a Redskins fan recently, and the Alex Smith situation makes things even more futile. Smith's status is up in the air after a catastrophic leg injury, yet the team probably can't afford to add a top veteran like Nick Foles or Joe Flacco to replace him. Jones needs time to develop after averaging an unimpressive 6.4 yards per attempt at Duke, but there's enough talent for a team to take the plunge in the first round.
Whether Carolina treats 2019 as a rebuilding year will depend on Cam Newton's health following shoulder surgery, but the Panthers need pass rushing help regardless after Julius Peppers' retirement. Ferrell is a potentially dominant edge rusher, with 27 sacks over the last three seasons.
Sweat was the talk of Senior Bowl practice, and his elite tools make him a great value if he falls to the middle of the first round. He had 22.5 sacks over the last two seasons for the Bulldogs and is a potential monster lining up opposite Myles Garrett in Cleveland.
Minnesota has clearly needed help on the offensive line, and Risner has the potential to be an immediate plug and play after four seasons at Kansas State.
Delanie Walker's season-ending injury in Week 1 left a huge void for Marcus Mariota and Co., and a strong tight end class creates an opportunity for the Titans. Hockenson has been flying up draft boards after declaring early for the draft, as he finished last season with 49 receptions for 760 yards and six touchdowns.
Artie Burns' struggles early last season were a major headline for the Steelers. While his play did improve, cornerback remains a concern, and Joe Haden will be 30 at the start of 2019. Baker has been extremely productive over the last three seasons for the Bulldogs.
Seattle could use some help rushing the passer opposite Frank Clark, and Polite is coming off a dominant year at Florida. While slightly undersized, Polite showed huge ability with 11 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss in his junior season.
Baltimore needs to do all it can to help Lamar Jackson develop as a passer, and a big-play threat like Brown would be one part of the equation. The team is lacking youth at wideout, and despite a surprising contribution from John Brown last season, the Ravens could use a future speedster to develop with Jackson. Brown averaged 18.3 yards per reception in two seasons at Oklahoma.
Former first-round pick Kevin Johnson is a question mark after a season-ending concussion last season, which could necessitate another look at the position. Murphy is coming off a productive season for the Huskies, with four picks and 58 tackles.
Oakland has three first-round picks, and wideout will probably be one of their priorities. Metcalf missed much of last season with a neck injury, but he has impressive measurables and averaged 21.9 yards per reception when he did play last season.
Linebacker was an area of weakness for the Eagles last season due to unforeseen circumstances, and Bush has the ability and versatility to address the need. He had 10 sacks and 161 tackles over the last two seasons for the Wolverines.
The Colts hit home runs in last year's draft but still have a few areas of need, as they try to take the next step to becoming Super Bowl contenders. 2018 second-round pick Kemoko Turay showed potential, but Burns would be a great value at this spot in a deep draft for pass rushers. He had 10 sacks for a bad Seminoles team last year.
2016 first-round pick Karl Joseph has been a massive bust for the Raiders, and the team won't be hesitant to take another safety. Thompson had a breakout junior season, with 78 tackles and two picks last year.
Wilkins could make a strong Chargers pass rush even better with push on the interior. He had 16 sacks in four seasons at Clemson.
With Eric Berry's health in question and the possibility of cutting Daniel Sorensen to save money, safety is an area the Chiefs could address early. Adderley's stock has increased of late, as we often see from small school prospects.
Green Bay needs some pass rushing help, and Ximines shows big upside with 32.5 sacks in four seasons at Old Dominion. He peaked last year with 11.5 sacks and 58 tackles.
With the possibility of losing Ndamukong Suh, nose tackle could be a priority for the Rams. Lawrence is comparably sized and a potentially dominant run-stuffer next to Aaron Donald.
Questions about Rob Gronkowski's future could make tight end a high priority for the Patriots. At 6-foot-5, Fant has been a red-zone phenom at Iowa with 18 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
The highly productive Brown remains in play as a possible first-round pick. Should he fall to the second round, the big-play wideout could be a possibility for a series of receiver-needy teams like the Cardinals, Colts or 49ers.
Grier is a pocket passer whose upside could be limited, but he's also arguably the most NFL-ready signal-caller available. If the Giants and Jaguars fail to address quarterback in the first round, the early second round is a possibility for Grier.
Harry's tools and productivity make him an appetizing early-round pick. Like A.J. Brown, Harry is likely an early second-round value for teams like the Cardinals, Colts, Jags, Bucs, or Bills.
Jacobs has been rising on draft boards because of his versatility as a runner and receiver, which makes him a great fit for the NFL game. He also doesn't have much mileage on his wheels with a total of 299 touches at Alabama. The skill set is a fit for Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Buffalo, or Houston in the second round.
