2019 NFL Mock Draft: Multiple quarterbacks in the top-32
. Edge. Florida. Brian Burns. 27. player. 28
George: Oakland likely missed on their projection of where Chicago’s first round pick would land after trading Khalil Mack. Some thought this pick would land Oakland with two top-10 picks to rebuild their team, but instead they are drafting at the end of the first round.
After taking Greedy Williams to be their number one corner with their original first round pick the Raiders snag the pass rusher they’ve missed since trading Mack. Oakland has just six sacks, the fewest in the NFL, and they need to generate pressure against the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Philip Rivers when they play twice a year.
Burns is on pace to match his career-high in sacks after just five games, picking up seven in his first six games for the Gators. The junior has 20 sacks and 32.5 tackles for loss in 27 collegiate games.
The defensive end has incredible length and some of the longest arms in college football. He’s a fluid rusher who needs to keep his motor running just a bit longer on some plays, but he still projects to be a force in the NFL.
