Getty Dwayne Haskins is expected to be the first quarterback selected in the draft.
The Arizona Cardinals will have the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The Niners will pick No. 2, Jets are at No. 3, the Raiders have the No. 4 pick and the Bucs round out the top five.
Strength of schedule serves as the tiebreaker when teams have identical records. The team with the weaker schedule will get the higher draft pick if the two teams are tied in the standings. Our latest NFL mock draft has Ohio State defensive linemen Nick Bosa being selected with the No. 1 pick. Fans may recognize the name as his older brother, Joey Bosa, plays for the Chargers.
NFL teams will likely be loading up on defensive players early in the draft with the majority of the top players playing on the defensive side of the ball. After spending the past few months trading away several of their top players, the Raiders will have a major impact on shaping how this draft goes. Oakland has three first round picks including one that will likely be inside the top five.
Quarterback Justin Herbert shocked many people by announcing he was heading back to Oregon for another season. Herbert had a chance to be the top quarterback taken in the 2019 draft. His decision leaves an already-thin quarterback position even more shallow. Quarterback-needy teams will have a difficult decision to make on the remaining top quarterbacks including Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock and Will Grier.
