NFL two-round mock draft: April 1, 2019

The Cardinals met with Nick Bosa this week, but it would still be a massive upset if they bypassed Murray with the first overall pick. The next step would be traded 2018 first-round pick Josh Rosen.

The 49ers already invested heavily in improving their pass rush by acquiring Dee Ford from the Chiefs and signing him to a lucrative contract extension. As a result, it wouldn't be a shock if they traded back or selected Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. The 49ers have prioritized the defensive line in recent drafts, but the value at No. 2 is in using that pick on another defensive lineman.

There are reports the Jets have Allen as their primary target, but trading the pick is also a possibility. Allen has the upside to be the No. 1 overall pick. He had a strong combine, including a 4.23 second shuttle, second-best among edge rushers. 

Williams had a great combine, including an outstanding 4.83-second 40 time. He's worthy of a top five pick after recording eight sacks and 71 tackles in his breakout sophomore season at Alabama. Oakland is in desperate need of a pass rusher at any spot after accumulating only 13 sacks last season.

White was already considered the top linebacker prospect available and made further headlines when he ran a blazing 4.42 second 40 at the combine. He recorded a total of 256 tackles over the last two seasons. Tampa Bay remains in the market for a linebacker despite signing Deone Bucannon.

Will the Giants find a long-term replacement for Eli Manning this year, or will they play for this year? The signing of Golden Tate suggests the latter, and they still could trade for Josh Rosen as their long-term signal-caller. The team does need a pass rusher after trading Olivier Vernon.

Jacksonville needs an offensive tackle after cutting Jermey Parnell, and the offensive line should be a top priority to protect soon-to-be starter Nick Foles. Taylor is emerging as the top prospect at the position.

Sweat was the talk of Senior Bowl practice, and he helped his stock even more at the combine after running an electric 4.41 second 40-yard dash. While Detroit already signed Trey Flowers, Sweat's availability at No. 8 could be too enticing to pass up.

While the Bills signed Tyler Kroft, it remains to be seen if he will be their starting tight end. Hockenson had a good combine with a 4.70 second 40 time and 37.5-inch vertical jump, and his potential is through the roof.

Haskins is arguably the top quarterback available, but the lack of major quarterback-needy teams atop the draft could make him drop. Denver acquired Joe Flacco, but he might just be a stopgap for a more long-term option.

Cincinnati is in desperate need of a linebacker after moving on from Vontaze Burfict. Bush lacks the desired height at 5-foot-11, but he more than makes up for it with his athleticism. He ran a 4.43 second 40-yard dash with a 40.5 inch vertical at the combine, both elite marks that should erase any concerns. 

Metcalf was the talk of the combine after running a 4.33 second 40-yard dash, tying for the wideout lead with 27 bench reps and showing off a 40.5 inch vertical. However, not all of his test results were great. There should be concern about Metcalf's ability to get separation on shorter routes. He had the third-slowest time in the three-cone and the fourth-slowest time in the shuttle. Green Bay went heavy at wideout in last year's draft but still needs to replace Randall Cobb and doesn't have a receiver with Metcalf's upside, including current No. 1 Davante Adams.

Miami desperately needs pass rushing help after losing Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn. Oliver nursed a knee injury last season but looked healthy at the combine with 32 bench reps (tied for third-best among defensive linemen) and a 120-inch broad jump.

Vic Beasley's future with the Falcons is still somewhat up in the air, and they need help rushing the passer in any case. Ferrell's production has improved in every season at Clemson, culminating with 11.5 sacks last year, and he would easily be a top 10 pick in draft classes thinner in pass rushers.

Alex Smith is questionable to play in 2019 following a catastrophic leg injury, and while Washington has Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, they're hardly answers. There are questions about Lock's accuracy, but he throws a beautiful deep ball.

A pass rusher is at the top of Carolina's list heading into the draft. Burns had a great combine weekend with a 4.53 second 40-yard dash and a 129-inch broad jump. He had 23 sacks in three seasons for the Seminoles.

Right tackle remains a big need for the Giants, who have struggled on the offensive line for several years. While Williams didn't have a spectacular combine, his tape should put him in the top 20 picks.

Lindstrom is the best pure guard on the board, and Minnesota has a need at that spot. The lack of great interior options is pushing him into the first round.

A huge prospect with versatility, Ford's stock has risen since the end of the 2018 season. Ford cut short his combine bench session due to an injury, but that shouldn't significantly hurt his stock as one of the most versatile linemen available. He'd be a guard prospect for Tennessee.

Dillard had a nice combine, including a sub-5.0 second 40 time. Pittsburgh is in the tackle market after trading Marcus Gilbert.

Seattle has severely shed defensive talent in recent seasons. Wilkins looks like a safe defensive tackle and is a good fit for the Seahawks current roster.

Campbell helped himself at the combine as much as any player, tying for the 40-time lead among wideouts this year at 4.31 seconds. He also had an outstanding senior season, with 90 receptions for 1,063 yards and 12 touchdowns. No team needs a wide receiver more than Baltimore after losing John Brown and Michael Crabtree.

Houston signed Bradley Roby but didn't bring back Kareem Jackson or Kevin Johnson this offseason. Williams is clearly the best cornerback on the board and had an excellent combine, running a 4.37 second 40-yard dash.

Fant's stock is on the rise after one of the most impressive combines from a tight end in years. He led all tight ends in the 40-yard dash (4.50 seconds), vertical jump (39.5 inches), broad jump (10 feet, 7 inches) and three-cone (6.81 seconds). He has the college production, to boot, with 18 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Oakland failed to bring back Jared Cook, so it has a need at tight end.

Philadelphia needs more offensive line depth with left tackle Jason Peters approaching the end of his career, and Risner could also fill in at guard in a pinch in the short term.

The other wideout at Ole Miss, Brown had more than 1,200 yards receiving in consecutive seasons. Indy signed Devin Funchess, but he might not be an answer as a starter opposite T.Y. Hilton.

Oakland struggled in the secondary last season and has yet to address that area in the offseason. A productive college player, Baker showed adequate speed with a 4.52-second 40 time.

The stout Lawrence will immediately become one of the biggest defensive linemen in the NFL and should do a nice job generating double teams for a long time. The Chargers have one spot available for a new starter.

The Chiefs need a pass rusher after releasing Justin Houston and trading Dee Ford. Ferguson is the all-time college leader in sacks but wasn't able to participate in drills during the combine due to a past arrest.

Green Bay was aggressive in adding pass rushers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith this offseason, but a third acquisition wouldn't hurt. Allen had 100 tackles in his junior season before regressing to 61 last season, but he's established himself as a solid edge player.

Bradbury put himself squarely in first-round territory with an epic combine performance. He finished third among all offensive linemen with a 4.92 second 40-yard dash, had 34 bench reps and led the group with a 7.41 second three-cone. The Rams need a new center after declining John Sullivan's option.

The official retirement of Rob Gronkowski puts New England in the thick of a deep tight end trade class. The athletic Smith didn't match the Iowa duo of Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson at the combine, but he's still a talented receiver who had 710 yards and seven touchdowns last year.

If the Cardinals are expected to take Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, why not take his favorite target with their next pick? Brown didn't work out at the combine following foot surgery, but it might not hurt his stock. He averaged 18.3 yards per reception in two seasons at Oklahoma and could be an immediate impact player.

Adderley has versatility to play safety or corner, so he will be an attractive player if he falls to the second day. There are questions about Adderley because he's coming from a small school and didn't participate in the combine drills, but he shows plenty of upside.

Tillery did well at the combine despite a shoulder injury that he had surgery for last week. He has excellent size at 6-foot-7 and recorded seven sacks last season, and the Raiders are in the market for multiple defensive linemen.

There are questions about Butler's hands, but he's physically gifted at 6-foot-6. He averaged 22.0 yards per reception last season and had 16 touchdowns over the last two seasons. San Francisco has a need at wide receiver, and Butler would be an immediate weapon for Kyle Shanahan.

The Giants haven't gotten the production they hoped for from Janoris Jenkins and traded Eli Apple last season, so they're in the cornerback market. Murphy is coming off a productive season for the Huskies, with four picks and 58 tackles.

The Jags have a need at safety after releasing Tashaun Gipson. Abram had 99 tackles, three sacks and two picks last season.

Harry's combine performance was overshadowed by that of D.K. Metcalf, but it was still strong for his size (6-foot-2, 228 pounds) with a 4.53-second 40 and a 38.5 inch vertical. The college production is also there, with consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. Tampa Bay lost both DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries this offseason and is looking for a third wideout behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

The athletic Ya-Sin has faced limited top talent in college, but his body and athleticism make him one of the more interesting prospects in this draft. Buffalo has a big need for cornerback depth.

Even with the Broncos taking Haskins in the first round, the Broncos and John Elway may want to take another bite at the QB apple here in hopes of finding their QB of the future, especially if the Flacco experiment goes south in a hurry.

Cincinnati desperately needs linebacker help after releasing Vontaze Burfict. Wilson was a productive linebacker for the Crimson Tide and also a playmaker, with six picks in the last two seasons.

Detroit is very much in the safety market after moving on from Glover Quin. Thompson had a breakout 2018 season at Alabama with 78 tackles and two picks as one of the defense's top playmakers. 

Green Bay added Adrian Amos in free agency but could still use more depth at safety.. Rapp is a true playmaking prospect. He had 58 tackles, four sacks and two picks for the Huskies last season.

The Falcons released Robert Alford earlier this offseason and should be in the market for more secondary depth. Oruwariye is a huge cornerback, and he's coming off a breakout season with 50 tackles and three interceptions.

The speedy McLaurin averaged 20.0 yards per catch with the Buckeyes last season, along with 11 touchdowns in 35 catches. He's a bit of a project, but the Washington passing game could use some upside.

Carolina has invested at wideout in recent drafts, but it remains a need after losing Devin Funchess this offseason. Arcega-Whiteside stands at 6-foot-3 and had a staggering 28 touchdowns in three seasons at Stanford.

Grier has been a winner at Florida and West Virginia during his career and also highly accurate, completing nearly 66 percent of his passes. He could be a bargain on a second day for a team looking for a possible starter, like the Dolphins who just have a stopgap in Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Little has had some unfavorable reports but has good size and athleticism. Cleveland has a need at tackle, and Little brings considerable upside.

Minnesota lost Sheldon Richardson in free agency, so defensive tackle could be a draft priority. Jones had a great junior season with 8.5 sacks and would be an excellent second-round value.

Tennessee didn't get great production out of Malcolm Butler in the first year of his contract, and using a pick on a corner could put him on notice. Layne had a solid combine and is one of the biggest corners in the draft at 6-foot-3. He had 72 tackles for the Spartans last season.

Jacobs didn't participate in the drills at the combine due to a groin injury, and his draft stock could plummet after Philadelphia acquired Jordan Howard and Oakland signed Isaiah Crowell. While the Steelers were relatively happy with James Conner last year and also got solid production from Jaylen Samuels, Jacobs has a multitiered upside that resembles the departed Le'Veon Bell.

Philadelphia has found success with stockpiling edge rushers, and Ximines is an interesting and productive prospect with 32.5 sacks over the last four seasons.

Houston still has Lamar Miller, but his production has been inconsistent during his time in Houston. Montgomery didn't show great speed at the combine but is a potential three-down back who had more than 1,300 yards from scrimmage in consecutive seasons at Iowa State.

Simmons could miss all of next season after tearing his ACL while preparing for the combine, but he was a potential top 20 pick before the injury. With extra early draft picks, the Texans can afford to use one on more of a long-term play.

Isabella is flying up draft boards after a blazing 40-yard dash at the combine, and he has the college production to back it up, with 102 receptions for 1,698 yards and 13 scores last year at UMass. He would seem like a perfect fit for New England, which currently has a need at wideout.

Philadelphia has two solid starters at safety, but both (Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod) are old by NFL standards. Thornhill was a highly productive player at Virginia last year with 98 tackles and six interceptions.

Dallas already flirted with signing Eric Berry, but he hasn't signed on the dotted line yet. A productive ballhawk at Florida, Gardner-Johnson had nine picks in three seasons and also had 71 tackles last season.

Indy re-signed Pierre Desir but could be in the market for more corner depth. Mullen was Clemson's best at that position over the last two seasons and has good size at 6-foot-2. He showed more than adequate speed after running a 4.46 second 40-yard dash at the combine.

L.A. is set at cornerback but could be in the market for depth. Johnson was inconsistent in college but is a scouting marvel with great athleticism at 6-foot-3.

K.C. signed Bashaud Breeland, but he's not a definitive starter going in 2019. Love was a strong cornerback for the Fighting Irish but could drop to late in the second day due to so-so combine results.

New Orleans recently signed Jared Cook, but the Saints still have a need for a No. 2 wideout. A productive player at NC State with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, Harmon also has ample size at 6-foot-3. 

The Chiefs seem comfortable with Austin Reiter at center, but McCoy's upside would be tempting if he drops to them in Day 2. Having two second-round picks does give them the luxury to improve their line depth, if they choose.

Buggs was highly productive at Alabama last season with 52 tackles and 9.5 sacks. New England has lost significant talent on the defensive line this offseason, so Buggs could contribute immediately.
