Analysis: Five biggest takeaways from the 2019 NFL draft
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray speaks to reporters Friday after being selected with the first pick Thursday night. By John Clayton April 28 at 1:22 PM The 2019 NFL draft went as expected through the first three picks, and then featured several surprises. While the Oakland Raiders and New York Giants made the most stunning opening-round selections, there was plenty of intrigue throughout all three days.
The Dolphins weren’t going to take a passer with the 13th pick, but they sent a late second-round pick to the Cardinals for Rosen, who is a low-risk, high-reward acquisition. If he works out, the team spent very little for a franchise quarterback. If he doesn’t, he’s a low-cost backup and the team can draft a quarterback in next year’s draft, which should include star college QBs in Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa and Oregon’s Justin Herbert.
Kansas City’s defense was one of the worst in the league last season, and while the signing of safety Tyrann Mathieu and trade for Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark will help, this is still a unit with major question marks — and the team is clearly bracing for the possibility that it will be without Hill, the offense’s top playmaker.This draft was rightly billed as being loaded on defense, and 12 of the first 19 picks were defensive front-seven players.
Over the past few seasons, GMs have shown more of a willingness to trade, and that was on display again during this year’s draft. There were 39 draft-day trades as teams showed decisiveness in giving up draft choices or players to move up and select a player they wanted.
