It's draft day and Mel Kiper has released his final mock draft of the year. Despite some recent rumors regarding the potential top overall pick, not much has changed at the top of the draft order for the ESPN analyst.

Kiper still has former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray going No. 1 overall to the Arizona Cardinals.


"I'm sticking with 99.9 percent here," writes Kiper. "There has just been too much smoke the past two months. Murray could be a star for new coach Kliff Kingsbury."

As for the San Francisco 49ers at No. 1, Kiper still envisions former Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa going at that spot.

"Bosa is my top-ranked prospect in this class," writes Kiper, "and the Niners have to improve their edge rush. Easy pick for GM John Lynch."

We'll see how this plays out in a matter of hours. Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft kicks off at 5:00 p.m. PT from downtown Nashville.
