This is the point of the football off-season where lists start to take over the media world, along with the first editions of the 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
The 2018 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and a ton of football fans are already looking forward to the following year (past the upcoming NFL and college football seasons) to a few versions of a 2019 NFL Mock Draft.
At this point in the process in determining who is selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, most of the speculation falls to the biggest returning stars in the nation. The quarterbacks are always the biggest topic of discussion in this regard. It takes a ton of foresight to know which quarterbacks will be drafted where, this far ahead of time.
Few draft pundits would have known that a quarterback like Baker Mayfield of the Oklahoma Sooners would go first overall to the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft. Most expected someone like Josh Rosen of the UCLA Bruins or Sam Darnold of the USC Trojans to be the first quarterback off the board from the 2018 class.
Yet, all this discussion is part of the fun of looking this far ahead. The 2018 NFL season and college football season have to play out with all its injuries, surprises, and letdowns that are sure to occur this fall. And, the draft order is tough to figure out at this point. Not even all of the 2018 off-season for the NFL has taken place yet.
This draft order was taken from the last 2019 NFL Mock Draft run by CBS Sports, through the complete first round. Here’s a look at all 32 first round projected selections for the 2019 NFL Draft.
