Which team won the 2019 NFL Draft? Raiders, Patriots earn high praise Published: Apr 29, 2019 at 08:07 AM With all 32 teams selecting a total of 254 players over a three-day span in the 2019 , let's take a look at which teams improved most over the weekend. Simply put: Which team won the draft? The needed a big draft and got one. They landed their franchise quarterback in having to trade up in Round 1, while adding the fastest edge rusher, , in this defense-heavy cla s. Not to mention, Washington got wide receiver , a guy who ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the NFL and knows Haskins' game (they were teammates at Ohio State). Plus, running
David DeCastro Jersey back , a fourth-round selection, could be the steal of the draft. Let's break this answer into two categories. In terms of immediate help, I'll go with the . No. 2 overall pick will help their pa s rush, which will, in turn help their secondary coming off a season in which the Niners logged two interceptions. Receivers and will provide help right away, with Samuel adding value as a really good returner. Now, if we're looking at which team will benefit, say, three years down the road, my pick is the . Two of their three first-round picks this year -- DT and CB -- will start immediately, but by Year 3, the first pick -- -- will have taken over for current quarterback . And I think Jones is going to be the real deal. The killed it. What's funny is that for years, Mike Mayock was regarded as one of the top talent evaluators in the NFL. His yearly conference
Bud Dupree Jersey call was the most anticipated part of draft season, save for the actual draft himself. And while it seemed like the reached for with the No. 4 selection, you should realize that if Mayock were still part of the media, he would have had Ferrell as one of his top defenders -
Jerome Bettis Jersey - and his draft stock would have risen in response. But credit to Mayock for keeping that close to the pinstriped vest and being able to get his guy. He also rebuilt the ' defense with a number of solid picks and even found a succe sor to when he drafted . So have your fun with the now, because we are going to look back on this draft much differently by this time next year. Or will; I already know this was a really good draft. Not like they need it, but Bill Belichick and the had themselves a great draft weekend. To put it simply, they got great value out of a majority of their draft picks. Receiver should improve a receiving corps that just lost the best tight end in the league to retirement. Second-round selection should help an aging secondary. Third-rounder addre ses their pa s rush need. And fourth-round pick and running back was . What a steal! I really like what the did in the 2019 . With defensive tackle Kyle Williams retiring this offseason, Buffalo landed one of the highest-graded DTs in this cla s in . Guard should help keep second-year quarterback from routinely running for his life, and fourth-round tight end addre ses a need the have tried to fill for years. But the pick I'm most excited about is running
Greg Lloyd Jersey back . He's in the perfect position to learn and succeed behind two veterans ( and Frank Gore) and should earn some playing time. Every team won in the draft because they all got better. I could go many ways with this choice, but I am going to choose the . One of the ' glaring weakne ses last season was a lack of pa s rush. It was obviously a priority in free agency when they signed and . They continued that emphasis when they drafted at No. 12 overall. Gary, who played last year with an injured shoulder, should be their best outside rusher and could also play DT in their nickel defense. Safety was also a major problem last season. The signing of former Chicago Bear was one of the most valuable signings in free agency. Then in the draft, the took , who is an excellent athlete and played both safety positions in college, as well as LB and CB in the nickel defense. , another second-rounder, has played center, guard and tackle, and he has the potential to start at guard soon with the . gives them a
Louis Lipps Jersey very good pa s-catching tight end, which should be happy about. This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be mi sing content or contain faulty links. Please use the Contact Us link in our site footer to report an i sue.
