Daniel Jeremiah's Mock Draft 1.0

There's still one big game to be played before the NFL's offseason truly starts. That hasn't stopped the start of the "Path" to the 2019 NFL Draft. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network, NFL.com's CFB 24/7, and the terrific Move The Sticks podcast is one of the top draft analysts. With Mike Mayock's move to the Oakland Raiders, he and podcast partner Bucky Brooks might be the top draft analysts. When either puts out a mock draft people listen. Jeremiah put out his first on Friday.

1.   Arizona Cardinals-Nick Bosa, Edge, Ohio State
2.   San Francisco 49ers-Rashan Gary, Edge, Michigan
3.   New York Jets-Josh Allen, Edge, Kentucky
4.   Oakland Raiders-Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
5.   Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama
6.   New York Giants-Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
7.   Jacksonville Jaguars-Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State
8.   Detroit Lions-T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
9.   Buffalo Bills-Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
10. Denver Broncos-Devin White, LB, LSU
11. Cincinnati Bengals-Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
12. Green Bay Packers-Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
13. Miami Dolphins-Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
14. Atlanta Falcons-Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
15. Washington Redskins-Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
16. Carolina Panthers-Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
17. Cleveland Browns-Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
18. Minnesota Vikings-Jonah Williams, OG, Alabama
19. Tennessee Titans-D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
20. Pittsburgh Steelers-Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
21. Seattle SeahawksMontez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State
22. Baltimore Ravens-Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware
23. Houston Texans-Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia
24. Oakland Raiders (from Bears)-Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Lousiiana Tech
25. Philadelphia Eagles-Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
26. Indianapolis Colts-Jonathan Abraham, S, Mississippi State
27. Oakland Raiders (from Cowboys)-Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson
28. Los Angeles Chargers-Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama
29. New England Patriots-Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
30. Los Angeles Rams-Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
31. Kansas City Chiefs-Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
32. Green Bay Packers (from Saints)-Noah Fant, TE, Iowa

If the Vikings landed Jonah Williams at #18 I would be thrilled. While it's a beautiful thought I feel that it's extremely remote. The good thing is that Jeremiah's very early mock shows that in a draft that will be dominated by defensive players there should be talented offensive linemen available at #18. I like the four (Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford, Andre Dillard, and Jonah Williams) that he currently has in the first round. I also like very much one that he doesn't. Oklahoma's Greg Little.

Jeremiah first round surprises:
Josh Jacobs at #5
T.J. Hockenson at #8
Ed Oliver falling to #14
The Clemson DTs falling to #25 and #30
Nasir Adderley at #22

It's still so early in the process to wrap my head around all of the players and where they stack up in relation to each other.

This week's Senior Bowl practices is the unofficial start of the draft evaluation season.
