NFL mock draft 2019 results: 32 reporters make their first-round picks
With the NFL draft less than a week away, reporters who cover their teams on
a daily basis take a crack at predicting how the first round will
unfold in The Times’ annual beat writers’ mock draft. Each reporter
makes a pick and gives a rationale for that selection.
This year's mock draft has ended. The Arizona Cardinals have the first pick of 2019 draft, and Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic made a somewhat surprising selection. Check out each of the 32 first-round selections below.
The
Cardinals like Josh Rosen, and I don’t see them taking a quarterback in
the first round two years in a row. They need help on the defensive
line and Williams would immediately provide that. General manager Steve
Keim has made some mistakes in the first round by taking guys who
weren’t that passionate about football (Jonathan Cooper, Robert
Nkemdiche). So I can see them taking Williams. — Kent Somers, The Arizona Republic
