The 2019 NFL Draft is finally here. To celebrate the unofficial holiday
of Draft Day, it's time for one final Sporting News mock draft of the
offseason. As with every new edition, there are some key changes since
the SN penultimate mock from earlier in the week. For now, for one last
time, here's how we see the first round playing out in what should be a
very unpredictable Thursday night.

The second and third rounds of the draft will take place on Friday
evening, beginning at 5:00. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
will take place on Saturday, beginning at 10:00 in the morning.
Austin, a cornerback, and Hampton, a safety, are both expected by most
to be selected sometime Saturday, when the three-day draft ends with
rounds 4-7.
Austin projected as a potential early-round pick after a strong
sophomore season in 2016, but he missed most of the last two seasons due
to season-ending knee injuries that required surgery. But a reported
4.56 40-yard dash run at a personal pro day for scouts and a smooth
recovery from his latest surgery has rebuilt his profile.
The bookmakers appear fairly confident there will be trades in the early
stages of the draft, with the market entitled “will a top 10 pick be
traded on draft day” heavily in favor of yes at -800 vs. no at +400. And
despite a relatively underwhelming quarterback class, MyBookie.ag still
believes more than three will be taken in the first-round. The over is
the significant favorite (-500) for a line set at 3.5, with the under at
+300.
Among the more obscure offerings is a wager from Sportsbetting.ag on
whether the overall No.1 pick will cry before he greets Roger Goodell or
not. Yes is +600 and no is -1500. MyBookie.ag appears confident Murray
will be wearing a black suit (-350) rather than a blue (+200) or a grey
one (+250). If he wants to make some extra money himself, he should
ditch the suit altogether for odds of +1000.
