Ryan Finley Goes 32nd Overall In BR’s Way-Too-Early 2019 Mock Draft

Matt Miller of Bleacher Report has released his way-too-early 2019 NFL Mock Draft, and he has NC State quarterback Ryan Finley going to the New England Patriots with the last pick in the first round (32nd overall).

The Pick: Ryan Finley, QB, NC State

The New England Patriots didn’t take a quarterback early in the 2018 draft but loaded up picks to potentially move up for one in the coming year. North Carolina State’s Ryan Finley is a name to watch as a legitimate option and great fit for the New England scheme.

Finley has the arm to open up the field and hit deep routes but he’s also nuanced enough to throw with touch on underneath routes. He’s a good sized passer at 6’4″ and 205 pounds with room to grow into his frame. If there’s a potential riser from the established quarterbacks in this class, it’s Finley. Scouts are already raving about his upside, but he does need a strong 2018 season to solidify his status. (BR)
