Re-Drafting the first round of 2019 NFL Draft
By Seth Steere
At the midpoint of the NFL season, here is a re-draft of the 2019 NFL Draft. SPOILERS: Kyler Murray and Nick Bosa still go high.
We’ve made it to the half-way point of the NFL season and man has it lived up to expectations: The 49ers are currently 8-0 after drafting second overall in the 2019 NFL draft, Antonio Brown is no longer in the NFL (for now) and the Dolphins actually won a game. Kyler Murray and Nick Bosa look like future stars and wins as well.
Every team has played 8 games of more, giving us a solid look at some of the rookies in the 2019 class. Based on what we have learned he is a re-draft of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Kyler Murray has had his fair share of ups and downs thus far, as any rookie quarterback would. The Cardinals are off to a much stronger start than many anticipated; OddShark set Arizona’s win total at 5.5 before the season and they’re already halfway there. Coming off a strong outing against the 49ers the Cardinals don’t appear to be as terrible as we all assumed.
A no brainer, Bosa has quickly become one of the better pass rushers in the league. He hasn’t quite entered top 10 consideration yet, but he’s been absolutely unstoppable. In 8 games for San Francisco, he has racked up 7 sacks, 11 tackles-for-loss, and has been in the opponent’s backfield like it was his own.
Playing Kyler Murray twice per year, the 49ers get a great pass rusher to keep the little speedy gunslinger in check. Kyler Murray vs. Nick Bosa should be a battle for the next decade.
