2019 NFL Mock Draft: Projected first round after Super Bowl LIII
By Dana Becker
One of the bigger mysteries of the draft will be where Daniel Jones lands. The Duke junior opted to leave college after his third consecutive season as the starter for David Cutcliffe.
There is no denying that Jones was well-taught, as Cutcliffe was one of the key mentors for NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and numerous others. Jones, who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 220 pounds, finished this past year with a career-high 22 touchdown passes, completing almost 61 percent of his throws.
Over the past three seasons, he has started 36 games for the Blue Devils, racking up 52 touchdowns against 29 interceptions for 8,201 yards and a quarterback rating of 122.9. But he still has plenty of questions that teams will be pressing him on for the right answers.
The Redskins lost Alex Smith to a gruesome knee injury during the season. His future remains unknown at this time, leaving the current group of Josh Johnson, Colt McCoy and Mark Sanchez one of the weakest in the NFL.
