The New England Patriots are Super Bowl LIII Champions, ending one season and turning the focus on toward the 2019 NFL Draft. How does the first round project?

Teams can put forth all their attention on evaluating the best players in the country, dissecting film and figuring out who can make the best and most worth-while impact on their team. The NFL Combine will be the next big event for the draft, with individual workouts to follow.

Of course, we will also be quick to watch and see if deals are on the table for the No. 1 pick, which the Arizona Cardinals and new head coach Kliff Kingsbury currently hold. The Cardinals tabbed Josh Rosen last year, but could they decide a new quarterback is needed and pick either Dwayne Haskins or Kyler Murray to lead what should be one of the more unique offenses in the NFL?

How many defensive players will go in the Top 10? With so many available, we could see a big run of defensive tackles, ends and linebackers go, along with a few members of the secondary thrown in for good measure.

With the Patriots beating the Rams, the 2019 NFL Draft order has been set. Here’s a look at how the first round just might go, pick-by-pick:
