The NFL Draft is right around the corner, with the first round being held this coming Thursday at 8, in Nashville, Tennessee. There is a lot of uncertainty as to what is going to happen during the draft, and this could be one of the most interesting and entertaining draft nights in recent memory.

Having said that, let us now look at the three possible predictions for the 2019 NFL Draft:


#1 The Arizona Cardinalsdraft Kyler Murray and trade Josh Rosen to Washington

The Cardinals thought they picked their quarterback of the future in last year's draft, when the selected Josh Rosen out of UCLA as the 10th overall, a pick in which they traded up to obtain and pick Rosen.

New coach Kliff Kingsbury doesn't really seem to be committed to Rosen, and rumors have been circling for several months that he wants a guy like Kyler Murray to runs his offense.The Cardinals seem to be all but locked in on picking Murray, which would mean Josh Rosen would likely be traded.

Potential suitors for Rosen include the Redskins, Dolphins, and Patriots. Both the Redskins and Dolphins are in need of a quarterback right now, while if Rosen was traded to New England he would be more of a long term project. I think Kingsbury would convince the Cardinals' management to go with Murray, and Rosen will ultimately be dealt to Washington.

#2 New York Giants draft Dwayne Haskins with the 6th overall pick

The Giants are another team that really needs to get a new quarterback. Eli Manning showed signs he still has something left in the tank in the second half of last season, but the Giants need to pick their QB of the future in this year's draft.

Dwayne Haskins showed he has what it takes to be a Pro Bowl caliber player after an impressive season last season, where he threw for 50 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions. Haskins also threw for 4,831 yards, while completing 70% of his passes.

Last year was only his second season in uniform, after redshirting his freshman year. Haskins is what the Giants need to accelerate their rebuild, and drafting him 6th overall wouldn't be a reach, making this something the Giants should do.

#3 The Buffalo Bills trade back and select D.K. Metcalf

After striking out in the Antonio Brown sweepstakes, the Bills find themselves with one of the worst receiving cores in the NFL. Rookie Josh Allen showed signs he has what it takes to be a solid starting quarterback, so the Bills must now look to find solid pieces to put around him.

The offensive line is also very suspect, but the Bills must find some playmakers that Allen can throw the ball to. Metcalf is a monster, standing at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 237 pounds; he could be the second coming of Calvin Johnson.

The Bills currently own the 9th pick, but with teams like Miami and Washington looking to move up, the Bills could slide back into the 13-15th pick range and snag Metcalf, while gaining addition future assets.
