No. 5 — 2019 Draft Class
Best Picks: Terry McLaurin (76), Wes Martin (131), Cole Holcomb (173), Kelvin Harmon (206)
Worst Picks: Ross Pierschbacher (153), Jordan Brailford (253)
Still Waiting: Dwayne Haskins (15), Montez Sweat (26)
Analysis: When grading a draft that happened so recently, you have to take much of the analysis with a grain of salt, as we don’t have a great sample size for the players just yet. With that being said, I think this draft was very solid, and it has a chance to get much better as the years go on.
I left out both Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat from the Best/Worst picks because I want another year of production to see. I believe that Haskins will end up looking like a solid pick in the end, and Sweat can be a very solid player in the NFL, but giving up a future second-rounder for him was risky at the time, and it will force him to be that much better to make up for it. We already know what an absolute steal McLaurin was, and as for Martin, Holcomb, and Harmon, all three are players that are projected to have a significant role this coming season, and I think they’ll step up to the plate.
