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.

Still no words on if the two piece included a biscuit or home fries.

All kidding aside, the Bills need some linebacker talent after trading Kiko Alonzo for Lesean McCoy this off-season so who knows, it just might work out.

Rex Ryan had IK and Geno last year in New York so he more so than any coach knows the dynamic and temperament of the two players involved in the fight. Here is what he had to say about it, via PFT:

“We all know what happened,” Ryan said, via Mike Rodak of ESPN.com. “Obviously it was a terrible thing that happened. But IK made a mistake. Instead of listening to this person, that person. . . . We had IK last year. . . . He was a good teammate. Simple as that. It we didn’t think he would be successful on field, in locker room, and in community, he wouldn’t be here.”

If knocking out the starting QB for six weeks gets you a new job in the NFL, then I guess we should look forward to Josh Norman going to Atlanta or Tampa after trying to spear Cam Newton like Roman Reigns:

#Bills News: Per @JoeBuscaglia…QB EJ Manuel could be in jeopardy of making the 53 man roster.

— SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) May 18, 2015

You hate to see a guy lose his livelihood due to injury, but even when fully healthy EJ couldn’t keep Kyle Orton from dethroning him. #ColdWorld

Initially I did what everyone else did and accused Chip Kelly of simply trying to assimilate a professional version of the Oregon Ducks. After all, there are nine Ducks on this squad now. But when you look at the numbers it begins to make sense:

By cutting Trent Cole, Cary Williams & trading LeSean McCoy, Eagles cleared $31.75M in cap space today. Alonso will count >$1M against cap

— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) March 4, 2015

Chip Kelly just put on his GM hat and made a fantastic move with this roster. Upon talking with a close buddy of mine we agreed that in this new NFL climate it makes perfect sense to get rid of a running back that is making eight figures next season for a young up-and-coming middle linebacker who has his whole career ahead of him. In the grand scheme of things few running backs simply aren’t worth eight figures anymore, and Kiko still has two years left on his rookie deal.

What are the Eagles preparing to do with all that cap space?

Let me just leave this here…

Cleveland Browns

Pick #4 is where things get interesting. Cleveland has the arsenal and positioning to pull off some crazy moves this May.

Let’s look at Cleveland’s Core Players: WR – Josh Gordon; TE – Jordan Cameron; OL – Joe Thomas, Alex Mack (Potential Free Agent); S – TJ Ward; CB – Joe Haden; RUSH – Barkevious Mingo, Jabaal Sheard.

Browns’ picks are – 1st Round (4), 1st Round (26), 2nd Round (35), 3rd Round (71), 3rd Round (83), 4th Round (102), 4th Round (123), 5th Round (133), 6th Round (164), 7th Round (195).

Possible Trade Scenario: Trade 1st Round (26) and 2nd Round (35) and 2015 1st Round Pick to STL Rams for 1st Round (2). The Rams are willing to pull the trigger on this one as they have been publicly content with Sam Bradford at the helm in 2014, and they stockpile solid value picks in return. The Browns now put themselves in position to grab their next QB project and a Stud Athlete with their first two picks. The #2 pick obviously depends highly on which avenue Houston goes with the #1 pick. If Houston goes with a QB, Cleveland can snag a QB at (2) and save (4) for a dynamic, explosive athlete in either Jadeveon Clowney or Sammy Watkins. If Houston goes with Clowney, Cleveland can pick Sammy Watkins and grab their QB at (4).

Oakland Raiders

Oakland also has an interesting situation at (5). Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin are not the long term future. Well, hopefully the Raiders have a plan to prevent another year of that show. If Houston uses their (1) pick on Jadeveon Clowney, and the STL Rams don’t take a QB, the top three QB’s are still on the board for picks (3), (4), and (5) if necessary. However, if Houston takes one of those QB’s, sitting pat at (5) may prove to be dreadful for Oakland as they miss out on a potential franchise QB. At this point, it should be a priority for Oakland to pick up that phone and dial up the STL Rams.

Let’s look at Oakland’s Core Players: WR – Denarius Moore, Andre Holmes; C – Stefan Wisniewski; RB – Darren McFadden (Potential Free Agent); RUSH – Lamarr Houston (Potential Free Agent); DT – Sio Moore; CB – DJ Hayden; K – Sebastian Janikowski.

Raiders’ Picks Are: 1st Round (5), 2nd Round (36), 3rd Round (67), 4th Round (103), 6th Round (165), 7th Round (196), 7th Round (212).

Possible Trade Scenario: Trade 1st Round (5), 2nd Round (36), and 2015 2nd Round Pick to STL Rams for 1st Round (2). The Rams easily take this trade and stockpile valuable picks, and Oakland snags a potential franchise QB.

Minnesota Vikings

Now here is a team with a dire need at the QB position. Christian Ponder is capable of pulling off six win seasons at most, and that is clearly unacceptable. Vikes’ management should be in full panic mode concerning the QB position, because the golden complement Adrian Peterson won’t be dragging defenders to paydirt forever.

Let’s look at Minnesota’s Core Players: WR – Cordarelle Patterson, Greg Jennings; RB – Adrian Peterson; TE – Kyle Rudolph; OL – Matt Kalil; DT – Kevin Williams, Sharif Floyd; RUSH – Jared Allen (Potential Free Agent); OLB – Chad Greenway; ILB – Erin Henderson; K – Blair Walsh; P – Jeff Locke.

The Vikings’ Picks are: 1st Round (8), 2nd Round (40), 3rd Round (72), 3rd Round (96), 4th Round (104), 5th Round (136), 6th Round (168), 7th Round (200).

Possible Trade Scenario #2: Trade 1st Round (8), 2nd Round (40), 3rd Round (72), and a 2015 2nd Round Pick to the STL Rams for 1st Round (2). Vikings pull off a solid trade and take a stud QB at (2).

Buffalo Bills

This team has some solid pieces, but still lacks consistently elite playmakers. Mario Williams is quite the terror alone for some offenses to handle, but could you comprehend the matchup issues it would cause if Super Mario were mirrored with that guy named Jadeveon Clowney? Good luck blocking those two, oh, and the other 2 Pro-Bowlers between them. How much would Sammy Watkins improve the rate of succession of one EJ Manuel? Elite, Dynamic, Explosive Prospects are a premium in this league, and it would benefit Buffalo to engineer a trade with the STL Rams to ensure they snare one of these two studs.

Let’s look at Buffalo’s Core Players: QB – EJ Manuel; RB – CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson; WR – Steve Johnson; OL – Cordy Glenn, Eric Wood; DT – Kyle Williams, Marcel Dareus; DE/RUSH – Mario Williams; LB – Kiko Alonso; S – Jairus Byrd (Potential Free Agent); CB – Stephon Gilmore.

The Bills Picks are: 1st Round (9), 2nd Round (41), 3rd Round (73), 4th Round (105), 5th Round (137), 6th Round (169), 7th Round (201).

Possible Trade Scenario: Trade 1st Round (9) and a 2015 1st Round Pick to STL Rams for 1st Round (2). If Houston picks Clowney, draft Sammy Watkins…..otherwise just grab Clowney and make Tom Brady’s geriatric NFL years an absolute misery.

October 17, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) – EJ Manuel, quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, is pleased to announce his partnership with Camp Kesem, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support children whose parents have or have had cancer. Manuel has signed on to lead Camp Kesem’s newest initiative, Scoring For Good, a novel fundraising program in which participating NFL players will donate funds to Camp Kesem each time a qualifying play is made.

Manuel recently invited a group of Camp Kesem kids to a home game and plans to do so again this season so he can do as much as he can to bring visibility and support to this often-overlooked population of kids.

ESPN’s own Todd McShay has updated his television mock draft and has Nassib slotted at #8 to the Bills.  Conventional thought is that Nassib’s college coach Doug Marrone will not be able to resist starting his professional regime without his quarterback.  The Bills cut Ryan Fitzpatrick and the owner has said publicly he wants a “franchise” quarterback….

Many draft pundits including yours truly have projected this move for months so I am not sure about all of the “heat” McShay claims he is getting regarding the selection.  Currently I have Nassib being selected in a projected trade but previously had him at #8 overall to no complaints.

Three days left. We’ll see what happens!
