The early outlook for the 2019 NFL free-agent class is simply one word—special.
Unlike some years, the class has a little bit of everything. There is a potential franchise passer tucked into its depths. There are droves of skill-position talent, headlined by Le'Veon Bell. The offensive line class is better than usual.
And on the opposite side of the ball, high-upside pass-rushers, disruptive interior forces and even some productive safeties top off a league-changing class about to hit the open market.
Before the tags come out to play, of course.
For now, these are the best players at each position judged by productivity, age and projected cost and future production.
