Well, it took a little doing; but I was finally able to compile a list of all the 2019 Combine invitees with their numbers and grades. The grades were compiled by nfl.com’s Lance Zierlein, whose opinions I’ve had some issues with in the past. Nevertheless, it’s a baseline by which we can go concerning this class. That said, here’s the list with their overall grade in parenthesis:
1A) Josh Allen – DE – Kentucky (6.70): A borderline physical freak
Nick Bosa – DE – Ohio State
Barring a trade up for a quarterback, this selection has been a foregone conclusion for months. If the Cardinals keep the pick and don’t select Bosa, it might as well be the end of Western civilization as we know it.
Josh Allen – OLB – Kentucky
Pass rushers are always at a premium, and Allen will become the highest drafted UK football player since Tim Couch in 1999.
Quinnen Williams – DT – Alabama
The J-E-T-S would L-O-V-E to get their young star quarterback a weapon, but none are graded highly enough to merit the pick. Perhaps a trade for Antonio Brown is in the making as we speak.
Clelin Ferrell – DE – Clemson
Chucky traded away their best pass rusher to Chicago, so it only makes sense that they get his replacement here.
Ed Oliver – DT – Houston
I could see the Bucs trading down with a team that wants to get ahead of the Giants for a quarterback. If not, then this pick makes sense.
Dwayne Haskins – QB – Ohio State
Big bodied quarterback with an NFL arm that can throw from the pocket with accuracy. That pretty much sums it all up.
Drew Lock – QB – Missouri
The Jags drafted Blaine Gabbert in 2011 and Blake Bortles in 2014 in an effort to solidify the quarterback position. Gabbert was a disaster and Bortles has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. Maybe the third time is the charm.
Andraez “Greedy” Williams – CB – LSU
The Motor City Kitties need help in a number of areas. This is just one of them.
Jonah Williams –
