Lance Zierlein 2019 NFL mock draft 3.0: Raiders give offense jolt

It's Draft Day! Here's my final mock of the first round.

Pick
1
Kyler Murray
Oklahoma · QB - Junior (RS)

There has been a lot of talk about whether or not Murray will be the pick, but I expect Arizona to select the former Sooner.

Pick
2
Nick Bosa
Ohio State · DE - Junior

One of the prospects with the highest floors goes to a team that continues to make big investments in its defensive line.

Pick
3
Quinnen Williams
Alabama · DT - Sophomore (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý could try to trade down, but with no takers on a swap, they pick my top-rated prospect of 2019.

Pick
4
Ed Oliver
Houston · DT - Junior

This might be a bit of a surprise to some, but it's believed the  carry a high grade on the explosive interior penetrator.

Pick
5
Devin White
LSU · LB - Junior

This one should come down to White vs. Josh Allen. We'll go with the alpha linebacker in this scenario.

Pick
6
Josh Allen
Kentucky · EDGE - Senior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý could be looking to scoop up either  or Allen if one of them falls to sixth. Of course, there is the possibility of a QB going here, too.

Pick
7
Jawaan Taylor
Florida · T - Junior

Tough call here between  and Taylor, but Taylor is physical and will get the running game cranked up.

Pick
8
Dwayne Haskins
Ohio State · QB - Sophomore (RS)

PROJECTED TRADE WITH LIONS. I'm hearing the  want to move out and the  want Haskins. So, this trade would make plenty of sense.

Pick
9
T.J. Hockenson
Iowa · TE - Sophomore (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý would be very happy to see Hockenson fall to them here. If he's gone, then  could be the guy.

Pick
10
Devin Bush
Michigan · LB - Junior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý are a tough read, but they have an opening at inside linebacker and this is a weak class outside of the top two prospects at the position (Bush and Devin White).

Pick
11
Montez Sweat
Mississippi State · EDGE - Senior

Don't sleep on this possibility. °Õ³ó±ðÌý could use more edge rush and .

Pick
12
Andre Dillard
Washington State · T - Senior (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý could go in a number of directions here, but ultimately may ask Dillard to slide to the right side to help protect .

Pick
13
Christian Wilkins
Clemson · DT - Senior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý' defensive line coach (Marion Hobby) coached Wilkins during his first two seasons at Clemson. This could be an easy sell.

Pick
14
Jonah Williams
Alabama · OT - Junior

Williams offers versatility up front and would help open up running lanes for Atlanta's offense.

Pick
15
Clelin Ferrell
Clemson · DE - Junior (RS)

PROJECTED TRADE WITH REDSKINS. °Õ³ó±ðÌý could use another defender off the edge, and Ferrell fits the mold of the players Matt Patricia worked with in New England at DE.

Pick
16
Rashan Gary
Michigan · DE - Junior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý causes him to slide, but not beyond the edge-needy .

Pick
17
Daniel Jones
Duke · QB - Junior (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý get their quarterback of the future.

Pick
18
Cody Ford
Oklahoma · G - Junior (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý could see Ford as a tackle/guard prospect who offers additional value because of his flexibility.

Pick
19
Brian Burns
Florida State · EDGE - Junior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý take an edge burner who can attack division-rival QBs ,ÌýÌý²¹²Ô»åÌý.

Pick
20
Greedy Williams
LSU · CB - Sophomore (RS)

°Õ³ó±ðÌý could go in a number of directions -- even at CB -- but I'll take the best of the bunch here.

Pick
21
DK Metcalf
Mississippi · WR - Sophomore (RS)

Seattle has love for height-weight-speed prospects and happens to have a need for those traits at outside receiver.

Pick
22
Garrett Bradbury
N.C. State · C - Senior (RS)

Landing Bradbury might be a perfect scenario for an offense that needs to upgrade its interior blocking.

Pick
23
Greg Little
Mississippi · T - Junior

°Õ³ó±ðÌý need help at both cornerback and offensive tackle. This is a difficult choice, but let's take one of the few true left tackles in this draft.

Pick
24
Josh Jacobs
Alabama · RB - Junior

°Â¾±³Ù³óÌý, this might be an easy card for the  to run up to the podium.

Pick
25
Darnell Savage
Maryland · S - Senior

The Maryland ballhawk has been a red-hot name in scouting circles of late, and the  could take him to invigorate the back end.

Pick
26
Jeffery Simmons
Mississippi State · DT - Junior

 GM Chris Ballard loves drafting trench players. He also believes in patience, which will be needed with Simmons, who suffered an ACL tear in February. Indy steals one of the best players in the draft here.

Pick
27
Marquise Brown
Oklahoma · WR - Junior

"Hollywood" is smaller (5-foot-9, 166 pounds) than some teams would like, but he's also able to attack all three levels of the field.

Pick
28
Byron Murphy
Washington · CB - Sophomore (RS)

Murphy measured under 6-feet tall and didn't run an impressive 40-yard dash (4.55 seconds) at the NFL , but he is extremely instinctive and as tough as you want them at corner.

Pick
29
Dexter Lawrence
Clemson · DT - Junior

Lawrence is still raw, but has elite size and potential.

Pick
30
Noah Fant
Iowa · TE - Junior

While the  need a wide receiver, Fant might be too tough to pass up. He's basically a big receiver in the slot.

Pick
31
Chris Lindstrom
Boston College · G - Senior

Hard-nosed grinder who can thrive in a variety of run schemes.

Pick
32
Drew Lock
Missouri · QB - Senior

New England could try to trade this pick, but with so much draft capital (league-high 12 total picks), the  have the luxury of spending this selection on the heir apparent to .
