There is plenty of starting-level talent for the start of the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Projecting every pick of the 2nd round in a new 2019 NFL mock draft
Washington CB Byron Murphy is the best player available, Drew Lock should hear his name, and expect a run on wide receivers.

But perhaps the most interesting player available probably isn’t a starter. That would be Missouri quarterback Drew Lock. He’s a player with first-round talent, but he dropped out of the top 32. With a few teams in the top half of the second round needing a quarterback, Lock may not need to wait long to get picked.
The second round could feature some runs on certain positions. In the mock below, for instance, three of the first four picks are cornerbacks. That includes players like Greedy Williams of LSU, Byron Murphy of Washington, and Rock Ya-Sin of Temple. Murphy comes in as the best available player remaining.
We should see offensive tackles like Cody Ford of Oklahoma and Jawaan Taylor of Florida come off the board pretty early.
The other position of intrigue is wide receiver. Except for Baltimore taking Marquise Brown at No. 25 and New England taking N’Keal Harry at No. 32, there was no action at wide receiver Thursday night. Starting with the Ole Miss pair of D.K. Metcalf and A.J. Brown, don’t be surprised if five or more wide receivers get taken in the second round.
