Full first round 2019 NFL Mock Draft, Dolphins get defensive
Pick #11 Cincinnati Bengals
QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma
Neither his indecision about MLB vs NFL nor his small stature stops the Bengals from selecting the dynamic QB out of Oklahoma. After years of mediocrity under former HC Marvin Lewis and QB Andy Dalton, the Bengals need to get their fan base excited again and Murray (54 total TDs in 2018) certainly accomplished that.
Pick #12 Green Bay Packers
OLB Jachai Polite, Florida
Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine will have alot of fun deploying Polite in the Packers 3-4 defense as he’s a supreme ‘play-maker’ (11 sacks and 6 forced fumbles in 2018).
Pick #13 Miami Dolphins
DE Clelin Ferrell, Clemson
Regardless of whether the Dolphins primarily play a 4-3 or 3-4 defense, there is no doubt they need pass rushing help. Ferrell amassed 20 TFL and 11.5 sacks on a dominant Tigers defensive line in 2018. (to read our full 7 round Miami Dolphins mock draft click here).
Pick #14 Atlanta Falcons
LB Devin Bush, Michigan
Bush didn’t put up gaudy numbers at Michigan (8.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks in 2018) but he’s considered one of the best ‘three down linebackers’ in the draft. Pairing him with Deion Jones makes for an impressive linebacking core in Atlanta.
Pick #15 Washington Redskins
QB Drew Lock, Missouri
Although most analysts in 2019 say Lock is a second round talent, he was highly regarded after the 2017 season (44TDs 13 INTS). With the future of QB Alex Smith uncertain, Washington decides they need to select their quarterback of the future here.
