2019 NFL Mock Draft: Updated Predictions for Rounds 2 and 3
After months of speculation, analyzing, overanalyzing and, of course, mock-drafting, we finally have the first 32 picks of the 2019 NFL draft in the books.
Kyler Murray is a member of the Arizona Cardinals. Nick Bosa is ready to wreak havoc opposite Dee Ford for the San Francisco 49ers. Quinnen Williams is off to the Big Apple to beef up the New York Jets defensive line.
So, now the question is simple: What's next?

The Best Available
Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
Taylor rolled to the red carpet in style, rocking some spiked Louboutin's that should have been the story of his draft night. Instead, the focus quickly shifted to his unexpected slide out of the opening round.
He should've been off the board with time to celebrate on Thursday night. He held the 16th spot on the final mock draft from Bleacher Report's Matt Miller. That's actually lower than a lot of mocks had Taylor, who was a popular projection for the Jaguars at No. 7 overall.
He's big, strong, long and mobile. He's a plug-and-play contributor in the rushing and passing games.
Taylor's Thursday night lasted much longer than it should've. That will be corrected very early Friday evening.
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss

Apparently that viral build and freakish combine performance didn't wow executives as much as we thought.
We (sort of) get it. While we are all blown away by Metcalf's combination of size (6'3", 228 lbs.) and explosiveness (4.33 40-yard dash, 40.5" vertical), we were also concerned by his agility drills (7.38 three-cone drill, 4.5 20-yard shuttle). There were also durability questions, since two of his three collegiate campaigns were cut short by injury.
But those were worries when we all assumed he'd be a top-10 selection. Letting 32 picks go by without someone taking a flier feels like the football world miscalculated the risk-reward analysis.
Even if he's mostly a deep threat at the NFL level—his physical gifts suggest the right coaching staff could get a lot more out of him—he should still be elite in that role. In college, he averaged 18.3 yards per catch and found the end zone on nearly 21 percent of his touches. He could easily be the first player off the board Friday, either to the Cardinals or their possible trade partner.
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Executives might've tried too hard to outsmart themselves by letting Lock escape the first round.
As with Metcalf, Lock has his concerns. His footwork can get away from him. His trust in his elite arm talent can convince him to take some chances he shouldn't.
But again, it feels like clubs focused only on his issues and forgot about his potential. Between his junior and senior seasons, he passed for 7,462 yards and 72 touchdowns against 21 interceptions. He has a chance to be special.
"Lock has ideal size, with athleticism and speed," ESPN's Todd McShay wrote. "He has a big-time arm and a smooth delivery, and the ball jumps off his hand. His best traits are his ability to throw accurately from different arm angles and when completely off balance."
The Giants could be kicking themselves for drafting Daniel Jones ahead of Lock. The Broncos might do the same if they don't move on him sooner than later.
