With the Clemson Tigers being crowned the new kings of college football for the second time in three seasons and Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft on Monday, it is a perfect time to throw together a mock draft.
Unlike the last two or maybe three quarterback draft classes, it appears that this year’s crop of signal callers will be underwhelming, to say the least. While Haskins should be QB1, there is no clear option on who should be the second quarterback taken in this upcoming April’s draft.
The three names that we hear the most after Haskins are Drew Lock, Will Grier, and Daniel Jones. Each of these quarterbacks had tremendous seasons under center in 2018 and could all go in the first round.
With that being said, Metro takes a look at how the first round could possibly shake out when the draft does roll around. The current draft order is based on records and projections on where the last few playoffs teams will finish:
