Frank Reich and Chris Ballard break down 2019 Draft Indianapolis Star
INDIANAPOLIS — Fifty-seven minutes.
For 57 minutes of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Mississippi State defense was the center of the football world. Tennessee used the 19th pick on Jeffery Simmons around 10:23 p.m.; Washington traded up to the Colts’ pick at No. 26 to take Montez Sweat at 11:16, and the Raiders grabbed safety Johnathan Abram one pick later.
Gerri Green couldn’t believe it. Green, the Bulldogs’ defensive captain, was sitting in front of a TV screaming, unable to contain his excitement.
