The 2019 NFL draft is finally here. Which teams will find their new franchise quarterbacks? Which will get a jolt from one of the talented pass-rushers in this class? Thursday night we get our answers.
For my closing mock, I predict picks based on what I'm hearing, showing what I think a team will do, rather than what it should do. And while I didn't explore any specific trades in the resulting selections, I do expect some picks to change hands when the names start flying Thursday.
So ahead of the first round, let's project the opening 32 picks one last time, starting with a certain athletic quarterback. And be sure to catch all the action live, starting at 7 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN and the ESPN App.

Best at everything | 50 facts about the class
1. Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma | Highlights
No change at the top of the board. New coach Kliff Kingsbury wants Murray running this offense, and who wouldn't? This is a gifted quarterback prospect.
2. San Francisco 49ers
Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State | Highlights
In one of my favorite team/player landing spots, the Niners are gifted the top talent in the class for some much-needed help off the edge. Bosa has the technique, speed and strength to make a difference right out of the gate for San Francisco.
