H ere’s the latest update on our 2019 NFL Draft Watch List…we’ve expanded the list slightly from the previous 150 up to 175. This version of the list contains our first significant re-evaluation of some players and therefore a good level of movement throughout – although numbers 1 and 2 remain the same (Nick Bosa and Ed Oliver).
Speaking of Bosa, he suffered an abdominal injury and has undergone surgery. It appears he’ll miss a few weeks but could be back before the season’s end. However, there is the possibility that he won’t play at Ohio State again – even if he is fit to return this season, will he risk his draft status and millions of dollars by returning to college ball having suffered an injury already?
Ok, on with the list…
