2019 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterbacks begin to make noise early

21. Baltimore Ravens: Noah Fant, TE Iowa

The Baltimore Ravens have been a team in the past that likes to throw to the tight end a lot. I have not been very fond of their options at the position ever since the end of Dennis Pitta’s time , however. Fant would be a matchup nightmare for Lamar Jackson. He is very versatile and an incredible athlete for someone who is 6’5”. In the NFL match-ups are key and Fant could be the next matchup nightmare consistently beating linebackers with athleticism and skill and defensive backs with his size and strength.

22. Cincinnati Bengals: Jarrett Stidham, QB Auburn

The Bengals have seen it for years, Andy Dalton is good enough to get a team to the playoffs sometimes, but never much more than that. The front office has to be looking for a way to get over the hump and give the team a legitimate shot at the title. That means taking a shot on a potential franchise quarterback of the future. That is why I have the Bengals taking Stidham for the second mock in a row. He can learn from Dalton and not be pressured to take too many snaps early in his career, which is ideal for a young quarterback in the NFL.
