That sad sound in the distance? Those are the whimpers and wails of every football fan, softly sobbing into their foam fingers at the realization that Sunday night’s Super Bowl LIII victory by the New England Patriots (again) marked the end of another glorious gridiron season.

This week, the Pats and the Los Angeles Rams join the rest of the league in preparation for next year’s journey to the Lombardi Trophy, and all roads to championship glory start with the NFL draft.

With all the on-field action now wrapped up, let’s take another shot at projecting the first four rounds of the 2019 NFL draft, complete with a handful of blockbuster trades:

*=projected trade

1. Arizona Cardinals | Quinnen Williams | DL | Alabama

Nick Bosa is the odds-on favorite here, but the Cards already have one of the league’s best edge rushers in Chandler Jones. What they need is a dominant, disruptive force for the interior of their defensive line, and Williams is the perfect fit.

2. San Francisco 49ers | Nick Bosa | EDGE | Ohio State

This is a dream scenario for the 49ers, who get the best overall prospect in the draft, who also just happens to fill the team’s biggest need. Despite playing just a few games due to injury in 2018, Bosa is worthy of No. 1 overall consideration.

3. New York Jets | Josh Allen | EDGE | Kentucky

Similar to the 49ers, the Jets desperately need to come away from this pick with a difference-maker on the edge. Allen is a versatile weapon who was arguably the most dominant defender in all of college football last season.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars (from OAK)* | Dwayne Haskins | QB | Ohio State

The Jags will start making calls in this range to make a move for this year’s top quarterback, and I’m betting they’ll find a willing partner in Oakland. In return for their second-round pick and perhaps another selection in next year’s draft, the Jags move up and find a new franchise passer.

5. Denver Broncos (from TB)* | Drew Lock | QB | Missouri

I’ve got a gut feeling Lock is John Elway’s guy in this QB class, which means he won’t wait around to see if he falls to No. 10 overall. Instead, the Broncos ship their picks in the second and third rounds to Tampa Bay to ensure they get the quarterback of their choice.

6. New York Giants | Jonah Williams | OT | Alabama

After getting sniped for two of the top passers in this draft, the Giants change directions and focus on improving the protection for Eli Manning and whoever his eventual successor ends up being. Williams was a rare freshman starter for the Crimson Tide, and has a long track record of success at both tackle spots.

7. Oakland Raiders (from JAX)* | Devin White | LB | LSU

This is a perfect scenario for the Raiders, who move back a few spots, get an extra pick, and still end up with a player they likely would have given strong consideration at No. 4 overall. White is exactly the kind of player who can transform the identity of an entire defense, and that’s what Oakland needs.

8. Detroit Lions | Greedy Williams | CB | LSU

Darius Slay is one of the better corners in the league, but the Lions need to upgrade the spot across from him. Williams is still growing into his physical tools, but his rare combination of size, length and athleticism could quickly be developed into a big-time playmaker.

9. Buffalo Bills | D.K. Metcalf | WR | Ole Miss

This pick has to be all about helping Josh Allen, whether that’s finding him a stud blocker or a premier playmaker. In this scenario, the latter gives Buffalo the better value. Metcalf has an ideal size/athleticism combo, and is reportedly fully recovered from a neck injury that ended his 2018 campaign prematurely.

10. Miami Dolphins (from DEN via TB)* | Kyler Murray | QB | Oklahoma

After spending the better part of a decade in quarterback purgatory with Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins could look to make a big splash under new management. What better way to do that than trading a third-round pick to move up for Murray, this year’s biggest wild-card and a dynamic talent.
