The 2019 NFL Draft already looks like it’s going to be filled with instant impact players. Which ones stood out? We discuss on the latest NFL Mocks podcast.

The 2019 NFL Draft and rookie class in general seems loaded with talent from top to bottom that will make an instant impact all around the league.

Which rookies made the strongest first impression?

On the latest NFL Mocks Podcast, host Brooks Austin and I talked about a number of players around the league, some studs and some ‘duds’ who will have a chance to rebound in week two.

Among the standouts, Brooks and I inadvertently picked players who were selected on all three days of the 2019 NFL Draft plus one of the league’s top undrafted free agents making a huge splash in South Beach.

Among other things discussed in the podcast:

Antonio Brown’s weird feet, helmet, iPad saga
Eating crow on a couple of top 12 picks
2019 NFL Draft class studs and duds from preseason play
Serge Ibaka’s perceived age
New England’s intriguing rookie receiver duo wearing O-line numbers
Throwing shade at Tate Martell
