2019 NFL Mock Draft: Projected first round after the college football season

While there may be a quarterback controversy brewing once Joe Flacco returns to the starting lineup, the Baltimore offense is full of veteran wide receivers on the outside. Michael Crabtree is still a solid player, but selecting A.J Brown could set the franchise up for success for the next six to seven years.

Brown is arguably the best receiver in the draft and although skeptics may look at Laquon Treadwell as a cautionary tale, Brown is more than capable of dominating opposing corners in the SEC.

The transition to the AFC North would work out well for him (besides the cold temperatures), as the top teams in the conference are oozing with NFL talent.

A.J. caught 75 passes for 1,252 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2017 and is following that campaign up with 85 catches for 1,320 yards and six scores.

He may be off the board by this point, but if he is available Baltimore will make the smart play picking up the talented receiver.
