There were no shortage of questionable selections in the 2019 NFL Draft. After the first several picks went off without a hitch, things started to get interesting. The New York Giants found a way to blow several picks while New England somehow came away looking like a winner. We’ve heard this story before, haven’t we?
Here’s the rundown of all 32 picks, complete with grades and instant analysis of how the player and the pick fit into Thursday night’s first round.
1. – QB Kyler Murray – Arizona Cardinals
Months of anticipation came to a head when the Cardinals made good on their word, drafting Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick. Is it risky? Absolutely. But he’s the clear-but best fit for Kliff Kingsbury‘s scheme Grade: B+
2 – EDGE Nick Bosa – San Francisco 49ers
Nick Bosa was the top prospect on most analyst’s boards for the duration of this process. Getting him at No. 2 is a steal. Grade: A+
