2019 NFL Draft: Late-Round Picks Who Could Be Day 1 Starters

The three-day marathon that was the 2019 NFL draft is now in the rear view. Every team bolstered its roster through the selection process, and every team—on paper—is better than it was on Wednesday.

While the players who will make their respective teams immediately better were largely selected on Thursday and Friday, players selected on Day 3 of the draft shouldn't be overlooked. Last year, Antonio Callaway, Chris Herndon, Phillip Lindsay and Tre Flowers all became starters in the first half of the season. All were drafted on Day 3 or not drafted at all.

Inevitably, some late-round picks are going to start from Week 1 in 2019.
