If you like defense, the 2019 NFL Draft is for you. This class is overloaded with top players on defense, especially along the defensive line. It all starts with Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. They stand alone in the draft’s top tier. Bosa has been a top-five lock since he stepped on the field at college. Williams, meanwhile, burst onto the scene at the start of last season by consistently creating pressure up the middle.
