If the San Francisco 49ers draft edge rusher Nick Bosa with the No. 2 overall selection, how will the team handle the remainder of the 2019 NFL Draft? Niner Noise has your full 49ers mock draft, including each of the Niners’ six draft picks.
Despite winning their way out of the top pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers may have the opportunity to draft this year’s top prospect, Ohio State EDGE Nick Bosa, with the second overall selection later this month.
Much has been written about the Arizona Cardinals’ plans for their No. 1 pick during the run-up to this year’s draft. And while few truly know which prospective draftee the 49ers’ NFC West rival will select — perhaps not even the Cardinals themselves — the odds-on favorite is Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray.
If the rumors are true, it would be a questionable decision for Arizona’s new leadership, given the vast holes in the Cardinals’ roster and the fact that the team spent valuable top-10 draft capital on their “quarterback of the future,” Josh Rosen, in last year’s draft.
It’s no secret that new head coach Kliff Kingsbury prefers Murray over his team’s current starting quarterback, but the second-year QB’s trade value continues to decline as the offseason progresses. Are the members of the Cardinals’ front office playing games, or could Arizona really begin the season with a pair of first-round quarterbacks on the roster?
