The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine is almost upon us, and when it's all said and done, the mock drafts compiled over the last few months will change dramatically.
Some of the players whose positions atop the 2019 NFL draft prospect class seem to be solidified may not find that their combine performance changes their stock much. After all, will Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, projected as the consensus No. 1 pick in this year's draft, really see his stock fall dramatically if he runs a slightly slow 40-yard dash? Unlikely.
However, there are other prospects for whom a stellar showing at the combine could cause their draft stock to surge; players hovering just outside the top-10 bubble, such as Florida defensive end Jachai Polite and Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence could find themselves coming off the board in those coveted first 10 spots with strong drill performances.
