After the New England Patriots' 13-3 Super Bowl LIII win over the Los Angeles Rams, the first-round order is now set for the 2019 NFL draft.

That doesn't mean it's cemented, though, as trades could shake things up.

We'll lay out our post-Super Bowl mock draft below before spotlighting three teams potentially looking to trade up.

Trade-Up Candidates

Oakland Raiders

The Raiders have the most first-round picks with three, two of which arrived in the trades of Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper. But the deals left them with a talent deficit, and perhaps they'd package a couple of picks to add a difference-making prospect.

Nick Bosa seems the most logical target. Oakland needs an elite rusher in the worst way, and it should know that if Bosa isn't picked at No. 1, there's zero chance he's getting by the edge-needy Niners.

CBSSports.com's Ryan Wilson wrote:

"Should [Bosa] be on the board when the Raiders go on the clock, expect them to take him without a second thought. The defense has been a disaster and the pass rush nonexistent, which makes perfect sense when you trade the NFL's best pass rusher in Khalil Mack and a few months later, release the team's second-best rusher in Bruce Irvin."

Oakland's pass-rushers were comically bad. The Raiders registered just 13 sacks on the season, 17 fewer than anyone else, 39 less than the league leaders and only 0.5 more than Mack tallied by himself.

New York Giants

The Giants had plenty bigger problems last season than their passing game, which actually finished 11th in total yards.

But New York still finished with a .313 winning percentage and a minus-43 points differential. Those marks make you think this club is simply too far away to keep riding with 38-year-old Eli Manning under center.

Whether the Giants will—or should—consider a climb up the draft board comes down to one question: Do they see a franchise-level passer in this class? If the answer is yes, they can't afford to stand pat.

Even if the five teams before them don't appear to be in the quarterback market, that's just too long for the Giants to wait. All it takes is one team to fall in love with Dwayne Haskins or Kyler Murray before they make a move to land him. New York might feel it can't take that risk.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars might be on the cusp of contending, if only their passing attack wasn't broken. With Blake Bortles under center, Jacksonville finished 30th with 6.4 yards per attempt, a number only the Bills and Cardinals—two clubs quarterbacked by rookies—finished beneath.

The Jags had other issues, too, but there's been far more bad than good with Bortles, and this offseason is almost certainly the right time to sever that relationship.

While Jacksonville, armed with the NFL's top rushing attack and No. 2 scoring defense in 2017, could consider going the veteran route with Bortles' replacement, there doesn't appear to be more than stopgap options available. If they add Nick Foles or Joe Flacco, that wouldn't automatically rule them out of grabbing a quarterback early.

Like the Giants, the Jags' willingness to trade up all depends on their evaluations of these passers. If they see stardom awaiting Murray, Haskins or another passing prospect, they shouldn't hesitate to pay the requisite price to add him.
