2019 NFL Draft Tracker: One tweet for every first-round pick - Sportsnet.ca

After months of hot takes and mock drafts, the 2019 NFL Draft is finally here.

Fans and pundits alike enter Thursday night with plenty of questions: What will Arizona do at No. 1? How many QBs will go off the board in the first round? What will the Raiders do with three picks in the top 27?

All of those questions and more will be answered in Nashville starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and you can keep it here for all the latest on who goes where. We’ll also be adding context to each first-round selection with an interesting tweet for each pick.

1) Arizona Cardinals – Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma

As the first pick in the NFL Draft, Kyler Murray will get paid around $35 million through December 2023. Murray likely wouldn’t make $35 million in MLB until at least July 2026. pic.twitter.com/VPHawIYehK

2) San Francisco 49ers – Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Bosas join the Mannings as the only family to have 3 players taken in the 1st round of the @NFL Draft.

3) New York Jets – Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama

The Jets just took the best player in the draft.

4) Oakland Raiders – Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson

The Raiders, who have Picks 4, 24 and 27, just took a guy at 4 that a lot of people thought would be there at 24 or 27.

5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Devin White, ILB, LSU

New Bucs LB Devin White, the fifth pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, is an exceptional playmaker. That's the highest pick the Bucs have ever used on an off-ball linebacker (previously Hugh Green, no. 7), which shows you the impact they believe he can make in Todd Bowles' defense.

6) New York Giants – Daniel Jones, QB, Duke

Wow! Daniel Jones! He’s been such a hot name in recent days — as like an early-second-round pick.

— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) April 26, 2019

7) Jacksonville Jaguars – Josh Allen, DE, Kentucky

Seventh pick last year: Josh Allen.
Seventh pick this year: Josh Allen.

8) Detroit Lions – T. J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa

#Lions get best TE in Hockenson (6-4 3/4, 251) for the draft by far. And coaches and execs say hardest player to find weaknesses with. Their passing game will be on fire again (Marvin Jones, Golladay, Amendola, Hockensen, Jesse James).#NFLDraft2019

9) Buffalo Bills – Ed Oliver, DT, Houston

Ed Oliver is such a heist at 9 there's going to be a true crime podcast.

TRADE ALERT: Steelers acquire 10th overall pick from Broncos for 2019 1st-round pick (20), 2019 2nd-round pick (52) and a 2020 3rd-round pick

10) Pittsburgh Steelers – Devin Bush, ILB, Michigan

11) Cincinnati Bengals – Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama

Jonah Williams is scheme versatile but he's perfect for the Bengals OZ system. Great pick.

— Ted Nguyen (@FB_FilmAnalysis) April 26, 2019

12) Green Bay Packers – Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan

Rashan Gary's production never quite met the athletic billing he brought with him – but he heads to Green Bay with the 12th overall pick. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/LnVuhPbVJY

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) April 26, 2019

13) Miami Dolphins – Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson

Smart. Tough. Physical. Versatile.

Christian Wilkins fits the @Dolphins profile based on Flores’ NE past.. Great kid. Hi IQ. Plays multiple spots on the DL

— Bucky Brooks (@BuckyBrooks) April 26, 2019

14) Atlanta Falcons – Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College

Finally, the Falcons added a very good IOL via the draft. Been a long time coming. Instant upgrade and decade+ long starter.

— Brandon Thorn (@BrandonThornNFL) April 26, 2019

15) Washington Redskins – Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State

You didn’t draft the young man for nothing. You did it because you believe in the young man. You did it because you need a Quarterback. Don’t give up on him prematurely. He is your investment. Give the kid time to prove himself. Congrats young gun!!! Enjoy every second of it!

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) April 26, 2019

16) Carolina Panthers – Brian Burns, DE, Florida State

Panthers select EDGE Brian Burns with 16th pick. Talk about heating up the pass rush. Elite athlete with a wide array of moves to get to the QB. A perfect fit for this new hybrid defense.

— Max Henson (@PanthersMax) April 26, 2019

17) New York Giants (from Cleveland Browns) – Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

So the first player the Giants get back in the Odell Beckham trade is Dexter Lawrence.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 26, 2019

18) Minnesota Vikings – Garrett Bradbury, C, NC State

Garrett Bradbury to Minnesota is one of my favorite picks in the entire draft. He's an elite prospect.

— Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) April 26, 2019

19) Tennessee Titans – Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State

Simmons was extremely honest about this video and what led to it. The explanation was he was protecting his sister after a verbal assault that was as bad as can be imagined. It does not excuse anything. But teams felt comfortable with the player. https://t.co/gjuPhd4k1i

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 26, 2019

20) Denver Broncos (from Pittsburgh Steelers) – Noah Fant, TE, Iowa

Two Iowa tight ends selected before a single running back or wide receiver. What a Draft.

— Peter Schrager (@PSchrags) April 26, 2019

TRADE ALERT: Packers acquire 21st overall pick from Seahawks for 2019 1st-round pick (30) and two 4th-round picks (114, 118)

21) Green Bay Packers – Darnell Savage, S, Maryland

Darnell Savage is the best safety in this draft imo. He's got the ability to be a legit game changer

— Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) April 26, 2019

TRADE ALERT: Eagles acquire 22nd overall pick from Ravens for 2019 1st-round pick (25), 2019 4th-round pick (127) and 2019 6th-round pick (197)

22) Philadelphia Eagles – Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State

Howie being Howie.

No offensive lineman in this draft put more pass-protection snaps on tape than Andre Dillard, and @PFF_College graded him as the No. 1 pass-protection player in the nation in 2018.

Proved it in a huge sample size.#Eagles

— Evan Silva (@evansilva) April 26, 2019

23) Houston Texans – Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama State

Howard has a load of potential, athletic and quick feet, the issue I’ve seen with him is that he tries to make blocks with hands, before he is in position with his feet. Howard’s foot work and hand usage need development

— Duke Manyweather (@BigDuke50) April 26, 2019

24) Oakland Raiders (from Chicago Bears) – Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama

Josh Jacobs’ story is incredible. Slept on couches at friends houses, motels, in his dad’s car. Wasn’t highly recruited so he posted his highlights on Twitter. Offers start coming in. Alabama sees him play in a basketball game. Gets scholarship. First RB taken in the 2019 draft.

— Kevin Negandhi (@KNegandhiESPN) April 26, 2019

25) Baltimore Ravens (from Philadelphia Eagles) – Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma

Hollywood Brown in the same offense with Lamar Jackson will be the most fun offensive thing since … uh, Hollywood Brown and Kyler Murray in the same offense

— Alex Kirshner (@alex_kirshner) April 26, 2019

TRADE ALERT: Washington acquires 26th overall pick from Colts for 2019 2nd-round pick (46) a 2020 2nd-round pick

26) Washington Redskins – Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State

27) Oakland Raiders (from Dallas Cowboys) – Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State

The Raiders drafted strong safety Johnathan Abram with the pick the Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper. Abram was a top 30 visit for Dallas and a player the Cowboys really liked. But he was never gonna fall to 58

— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) April 26, 2019

28) Los Angeles Chargers – Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre Dame

Chargers get a top-10 player on the @PFF draft board for the second year in a row while picking 17th last year and 28th this year

— Steve Palazzolo (@PFF_Steve) April 26, 2019

29) Seattle Seahawks (from Kansas City Chiefs) – L. J. Collier, DE, TCU

The Seahawks' pick at No. 29 is DE L.J. Collier from TCU. So they do indeed get an edge player with their top pick. That just comes at 29 after trading back from 21. And they're trading back from No. 30 as well.

— Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) April 26, 2019

TRADE ALERT: Giants acquire 30th overall pick from Seahawks for 2019 2nd-round pick (37) and two 2019 4th-round picks (132, 142)

30) New York Giants (from Seattle Seahawks via Green Bay Packers … via New Orleans Saints) – DeAndre Baker, CB, Georgia

The Giants third first round draft pick was their best imo. Big fan of Baker.

— Gordon McGuinness (@PFF_Gordon) April 26, 2019

TRADE ALERT: Falcons acquire 31st overall pick and 2019 6th-round pick (203) from Rams for 2019 2nd-round pick (45) and 2019 3rd-round pick (79)

31) Atlanta Falcons – Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington

In over 50 games played, McGary only allowed 7 sacks his entire career. As a man who has faced extreme family adversity, he will rise to the occasion and find a landing spot on the right side of the offensive line for the @AtlantaFalcons pic.twitter.com/yqKtSeRkZ9

— Mike Tannenbaum (@RealTannenbaum) April 26, 2019

32) New England Patriots – N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State

#Patriots coveted N'Keal Harry, and Harry himself knew it.

Like the fit a lot. Looks like the Patriots offense may be changing a bit in the post-Gronk area.
