Round 1 - Pick 1 Alabama • Jr • 6'0" / 194 lbs Projected Team Houston PROSPECT RNK 3rd POSITION RNK 1st Bryce Young might be historically undersized by successful NFL QB standards but we don't care. He's been that good for Alabama, dragging that team to victory just about every week. And he's doing it with none of the playmakers that made life so much easier for Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones in previous years. Round 1 - Pick 2 Alabama • Jr • 6'4" / 243 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st The Bears moved on from Robert Quinn before the trade deadline so they'll be in the market for an edge rusher this offseason, and Will Anderson is in the same pre-draft conversations as Chase Young and Nick Bosa when it comes to best non-QB players in a class. Round 1 - Pick 3 Ohio State • Jr • 6'3" / 218 lbs Projected Team Las Vegas PROSPECT RNK 4th POSITION RNK 2nd With Derek Carr set to be somewhere else in 2023, drafting a QB seems to be a high priority -- enough so that in this mock we have Vegas moving up before the Panthers do. C.J. Stroud has flown under the national-media radar all season, but some NFL teams will tell you he'll be in the running for QB1, and his performance in the semifinal game vs. Georgia showed that he can beat you with his arm and his legs. Round 1 - Pick 4 Kentucky • Sr • 6'3" / 232 lbs Projected Team Indianapolis PROSPECT RNK 6th POSITION RNK 3rd Levis, who definitely looks the part, was plagued by injuries and poor play all fall. That said, NFL teams love how he projects to the next level but he'll be a controversial talking point for the next six months. Either way, if owner Jim Irsay thinks Levis is the guy to turn things around in Indy, it's easy to imagine that he will spare no expense to go get him. Round 1 - Pick 5 Georgia • Jr • 6'3" / 300 lbs Projected Team Seattle PROSPECT RNK 2nd POSITION RNK 1st Jalen Carter, who was arguably the best defender on a 2021 Georgia 'D' that had five first-round picks, would fill a huge void in Seattle, where the defense has struggled getting after the quarterback. Round 1 - Pick 6 Texas Tech • Sr • 6'6" / 275 lbs Projected Team Detroit PROSPECT RNK 16th POSITION RNK 2nd Wilson is a high-motor player who consistently finds his way into the backfield. He's still raw but the physical tools are there and when he puts it all together he is going to be a problem. Round 1 - Pick 7 Clemson • Jr • 6'5" / 275 lbs Projected Team Arizona PROSPECT RNK 5th POSITION RNK 2nd Murphy won't be 21 until next spring and while we'd like to see him play with more consistency ... he won't be 21 until next spring. On top of that, when he's on, he's hard to stop, which makes him such an interesting prospect. ` Round 1 - Pick 8 Penn State • Jr • 6'2" / 194 lbs Projected Team Atlanta PROSPECT RNK 20th POSITION RNK 5th Porter is the prototypical big, physical cornerback who looks like he belongs in the NFL. He can sometimes get a little too handsy downfield, but he checks many of the boxes of what team's look for when drafting DBs. Round 1 - Pick 9 Florida • Soph • 6'4" / 232 lbs Projected Team Carolina PROSPECT RNK 19th POSITION RNK 4th Richardson is one of the most exciting prospects in this class. The problem: he's short on experience, and while his physical tools are rare, the Panthers are in dire need of a starting QB right now. David Tepper could choose to go the free agency route (again), but that has been, shall we say, a crapshoot. At the end of the day, Carolina may have to move inside the top 5 if they're a quarterback they really want with Day 1 starter potential. Round 1 - Pick 10 Oregon • Soph • 6'2" / 201 lbs Projected Team Philadelphia PROSPECT RNK 12th POSITION RNK 3rd Gonzalez, a Colorado transfer, is a big-time athlete who is still growing into the position. He has the size, strength and speed to line up against NFL wide receivers; he just needs to improve in run support. Round 1 - Pick 11 Ohio State • Jr • 6'6" / 310 lbs Projected Team Tennessee PROSPECT RNK 21st POSITION RNK 2nd Paris Johnson, who plays left tackle for the Buckeyes this season, also has experience on the interior; either way, he is a Day 1 starter, which in Philly could be at guard early in his career before moving to tackle if and when Lane Johnson decides to hang them up. Round 1 - Pick 12 Northwestern • Jr • 6'4" / 315 lbs Projected Team Houston PROSPECT RNK 8th POSITION RNK 1st Skoronski is solid and consistent, which are two of the best things you can say about an offensive lineman. The biggest issue he'll face during the pre-draft process will be arm length and whether his NFL future is at tackle or guard. Round 1 - Pick 13 Georgia • Soph • 6'4" / 310 lbs Projected Team N.Y. Jets PROSPECT RNK 26th POSITION RNK 3rd Jones had had a strong '22 campaign for the Bulldogs, where he has faced some of the best defensive players in the country every day at practice for the last two years. Round 1 - Pick 14 TCU • Jr • 6'4" / 215 lbs Projected Team New England PROSPECT RNK 27th POSITION RNK 3rd The Patriots are looking for a new OC this offseason, and they'll also need to get Mac Jones more weapons on the outside after the offense stalled in 2022. Johnston's an above-the-rim playmaker whose athleticism and contested-catch abilities put him in the running for WR1 Round 1 - Pick 15 USC • Jr • 6'0" / 175 lbs Projected Team Green Bay PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 1st Addison isn't a big target, but he's one of the most dynamic players in the country who can line up anywhere. Whether it's Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love or the QB behind Door No. 3, the Packers need to break the 20-year drought of not taking a wideout in the first round. Round 1 - Pick 16 Florida • Jr • 6'5" / 347 lbs Projected Team Washington PROSPECT RNK 15th POSITION RNK 1st Torrence transferred from Louisiana and didn't miss a beat. He's been dominant for Florida and is a plug-and-play player at the next level. Round 1 - Pick 17 Alabama • Jr • 6'0" / 193 lbs Projected Team Pittsburgh PROSPECT RNK 10th POSITION RNK 2nd Branch isn't the first name you hear about when the conversation turns to Alabama's defense, but maybe he should be. He's a sure tackler, can blitz off the edge, and is solid in coverage, and if Nick Saban trusts him, that's all you need to know about his NFL prospects. Round 1 - Pick 18 Illinois • Jr • 6'0" / 180 lbs Projected Team Detroit PROSPECT RNK 13th POSITION RNK 4th Witherspoon had a great season for the Illini and while there will be questions about his slight frame, you wouldn't know it to watch him play. Round 1 - Pick 19 Notre Dame • Jr • 6'4" / 265 lbs Projected Team Tampa Bay PROSPECT RNK 9th POSITION RNK 1st Who knows what Tom Brady's future is in Tampa Bay, but what better way to convince him to run it back at 46 than to add a tight end in the mold of Gronk. And while there's only one true Gronk, Mayer was one of the best players in college football last season, dominant at all three levels, and a solid blocker in the run game, too. Round 1 - Pick 20 Georgia • Soph • 6'2" / 210 lbs Projected Team Seattle PROSPECT RNK 22nd POSITION RNK 6th The Georgia-to-first-round pipeline continues. A year after five Bulldogs went in Round 1, expect a handful this time around too. Ringo is a long, physical corner who has matched up against some of the best players in the country. Round 1 - Pick 22 Oklahoma • Jr • 6'5" / 315 lbs There was some thought that Harrison might return to Oklahoma for an NIL deal that was too good to pass up, but he's instead opted for the NFL. He's one of the top tackles in the class and now the question is whether he finds his way into Round 1 or goes early on Day 2. Round 1 - Pick 23 Texas • Jr • 6'0" / 220 lbs Projected Team Baltimore PROSPECT RNK 18th POSITION RNK 2nd Robinson is special, and while he is probably one of the best players in this class, he could still be around late in Round 1 because he's a running back. And while the Ravens and offensive coordinator Greg Roman have parted ways, it's fair to assume that the team will still revolve around Lamar Jackson and the run game. JK Dobbins showed flashes after returning from ACL surgery but there isn't a lot of depth behind him. A backfield of Jackson, Dobbins and Robinson is a problem for the rest of the AFC, even if Baltimore has more pressing needs here. Round 1 - Pick 24 LSU • Jr • 6'3" / 250 lbs Projected Team Minnesota PROSPECT RNK 45th POSITION RNK 6th Ojulari, whose brother played at Georgia and plays for the Giants, had a solid campaign for the Tigers, and he has many of the same explosive qualities that made his brother so hard to block for the Bulldogs. Ojulari could end up being better than Azeez, and that's saying something. Round 1 - Pick 25 Utah • Sr • 6'4" / 240 lbs Projected Team Jacksonville PROSPECT RNK 39th POSITION RNK 3rd Kincaid could end up being one of the best rookie offensive weapons in 2023, especially if Doug Pederson uses him like the Jags used Evan Engram in '22. Engram and two other Jacksonville TEs are currently free agents though the team could certainly decide to re-up the former Giants first-rounder who is coming off a career year. Even still, Kincaid would only make Trevor Lawrence's life easier in '23. Round 1 - Pick 26 Ohio State • Jr • 6'1" / 200 lbs Projected Team N.Y. Giants PROSPECT RNK 25th POSITION RNK 2nd Smith-Njigba barely saw the field during the 2022 season because of injuries but he's still one of the top wideouts in the class. And with Daniel Jones about to get paid, the Giants might as well get him some more weapons. Round 1 - Pick 27 Tennessee • Jr • 6'0" / 185 lbs Projected Team Dallas PROSPECT RNK 55th POSITION RNK 7th Hyatt wasn't in the first-round conversation heading into the season but he's a great example of a player taking advantage of his opportunities, thanks in large part to Hendon Hooker's Heisman Trophy campaign. Hyatt is a bona fide deep threat who consistently stacks defensive backs who have been helpless to do much about it all season. Round 1 - Pick 28 South Carolina • Jr • 6'0" / 188 lbs Projected Team Buffalo PROSPECT RNK 7th POSITION RNK 1st The Bills don't have a lot of needs -- and safety, interior offensive line, or even running back (if, say, Bijan Robinson is still sitting there) could be options here. But cornerback could be a target, as well. Cam Smith is a first-round talent who can be a Day 1 contributor. Round 1 - Pick 29 Georgia • Jr • 6'7" / 270 lbs Projected Team Cincinnati PROSPECT RNK 29th POSITION RNK 2nd Darnell Washington is listed at 6-7, 265 pounds (he actually plays bigger than that), and while he's growing into his role as a receiver, he's essentially another offensive tackle when he's inline. The Bengals will only have one TE under contract after the season and Washington would serve the dual role of both receiver and blocker in Cincy's offense. Round 1 - Pick 30 Arkansas • Jr • 6'5" / 233 lbs Projected Team Denver PROSPECT RNK 23rd POSITION RNK 3rd Sanders is a former five-star who transferred from Alabama after the 2021 season and all he's done is show out for the Razorbacks. He was an edge rusher for the Crimson Tide but he lines up all over the defense for Arkansas and he's been a one-man wrecking crew when he's on the field. Round 1 - Pick 31 Maryland • Sr • 6'6" / 320 lbs Projected Team Kansas City PROSPECT RNK 103rd POSITION RNK 13th You'll be hard-pressed to find a more athletic offensive tackle in this class, and Duncan pops on tape at time. How he makes his way through the pre-draft process will ultimately determine if he can find his way into the first round. Round 1 - Pick 32 Alabama • Jr • 5'11" / 200 lbs Projected Team Philadelphia PROSPECT RNK 17th POSITION RNK 1st The Eagles haven't taken a RB in the first round since 1986 (!) but we said the same thing about Andy Reid and RBs right until the moment he selected Clyde Edwards-Helaire a few years ago. And while CEH may not be the best example of why Philly might consider a back here, Gibbs has drawn comparisons to Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara as both a runner and a receiver. He essentially be yet another weapon for Jalen Hurts in this offense.
