2019 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting the first round after Week 7

The Buckeyes have been feeding the NFL top-tier talent ever since Urban Meyer took over at Ohio State in 2012. That trend continues in 2019, as the New York Jets will snag another pass-rushing menace from the Buckeyes in Nick Bosa.

It’s still too early to be definitive, but the Jets appear to have their starting quarterback for the next decade in Sam Darnold. Giving him someone he could target with the football would be ideal, but passing up on Bosa just isn’t an option. If the Jets could grab Bosa and surround Darnold with talent from free agency, why can’t they do what the Los Angeles Rams are doing?

Bosa would be an immediate threat rushing the passer at the next level, but his consistency with that, and his ability to learn, have pushed him into can’t-pass-up territory. He’s racked up an incredible 29 tackles for loss and 17.5 sacks in his Buckeye career.

At 6-foot-4, Nick is nearly a spitting image of his older brother Joey. Could he be taken at the top of the draft just three years later? The Jets would have both an offensive and defensive piece to build around for years to come.
