That exceeded his totals from his previous three seasons as a starter (28). 2023 Live Mock Draft - RD6 & RD7 Indianapolis Colts (from Cowboys, compensatory), 178. He's just inconsistent at the moment. Why are there only 31 picks in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. 1 overall to the Texans taking Mr. Unfortunately, he hasn't looked like a natural fit on tape anywhere, either. Pappoe has the kind of athletic traits that won't look out of place anywhere in the back seven. The Raiders would jump out of their shoes if Hooker fell this far. Houston Texans (from Jets through Buccaneers), 235. He can boost the Cowboys' slot coverage between Trevon Diggs and newcomer Stephon Gilmore. 253) San Francisco 49ers (Compensatory Selection) Herbig was an edge rusher at Wisconsin but may be more of a hybrid NFL player at 240 pounds. Round 5 | Round 6 | Round 7. He earned an 85.8 run-defense grade in 2022. Reed didn't have much help within Michigan State's passing attack, but he did all he could. And all Miller did in his three seasons with the Horned Frogs is match the five-star every step of the way. 1) Carolina Panthers (from Chicago) Gibbs is exactly the kind of athlete the Buccaneers need out of the backfield. Carolina Panthers (from Bears) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama (5-10, 204. Green Bay Packers (from Lions through Rams), 236. New defensive-minded coach DeMeco Ryans needs more disruptive players for his front and Van Ness fits the bill with his relentless and explosive pass rush. 128) New York Giants It's time again for Sporting News to expand its annual look at potential selections. 209) New York Giants (from Kansas City) He is a unique matchup in the receiving game and an extra offensive lineman as a blocker. With the top cornerbacks off the board, the Cardinals could consider an edge player such as Nolan Smith in this spot, but getting the top offensive lineman in the draft at this stage is too much value to pass up. Ramirez is a playmaker, plain and simple. In his first and only season as a full-time starter last year, Johnson recorded at least one quarterback pressure in every game played except for one. Daniels brings high-end athleticism and an unrefined approach to the Raiders' offensive line room. Though there was nothing that had major mock draft changes, it did show who meets athletic thresholds that some teams require. 39) Carolina Panthers Anderson has proved again in the draft process why he was so explosive and productive at the highest level in college. The Giants could use a smooth and fluid cover man for nickel work and the slot and Hodges-Tomlinson can dominate for a long time in that area. 220) Las Vegas Raiders Spencer Anderson, OL, Maryland. The Texans have needs in several places, and the defensive line is one of them. Patterson is a large, physical interior offensive lineman. 219) Philadelphia Eagles Rakim Jarrett, WR, Maryland. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Buccaneers), 148. The team's 2022 offensive line featured just one player (left tackle Josh Jones) with above-average grades as a run blocker and pass blocker. Torrence gives them that run-blocking behemoth to boost the new offense of Brian Schottenheimer. New York Jets (from Packers, compensatory), 176. 139) Denver Broncos But center Jason Kelce is 35 and right tackle Lane Johnson will turn 33 soon. The Texas nose tackle finished with 31 pressures. Stroud, Bryce Young, Ranking the top 140 players in 2023 draft class, SN's mock draft with trades sends Lamar Jackson to Titans, Grading NFL free agency moves for all 32 teams from best (Bears) to worst (Packers), Biggest winners & losers from 2023 free agency, Biggest risers, fallers from 2023 NFL Draft pro days. Myles Murphy has been somewhat of a faller in the draft process, and his evaluation seems to be all over the place. The Texans will be happy taking either Young or Stroud as their franchise QB to fit their new 49ers-like offense well Stroud is a sturdy pro-polished pocket passer who makes all the throws with accuracy with the right dash of athleticism. It is 2023 Mock Draft time! 117) New England Patriots The Titans need to think about going wideout again in the first round to help promising second-year player Treylon Burks. His stock could have risen even more had he not torn his meniscus four weeks into this past season. Ekiyor is a steady and experienced guard with some minor physical limitations that he can find ways to work around. Evans can complement Tony Pollard in Year 1 before taking over as the Cowboys' primary back in Year 2. Campbell could find a starting role quickly in Detroit. The Rams traded Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins and need to think about replacing him with another playmaking corner. 105) Arizona Cardinals Though undersized, Hampton brings burst off the edge that led to 85.0-plus PFF pass-rush grades in each of the past two years. 89 and 128, acquiring the biggest riser on the PFF draft board over the past month. He broke 46 tackles on 94 carries in 2022. 102) San Francisco 49ers (Special Compensatory Selection), 103) Chicago Bears The Lions took care of a lot of secondary needs in free agency and must think defensive front first should it pivot away from forcing QB with Jared Goff still playing well. The Raiders send Pick Nos. 85) Los Angeles Chargers Martin is a poor man's Jordan Davis in that he's a towering 6-foot-5, 337-pound nose tackle with uber-long arms. 77) Los Angeles Rams (from New England through Miami) Young has plenty of fans with the offensive staff because of his arm, accuracy, intangibles and leadership adding up to can't-miss package regardless of any size concern. 208) Jacksonville Jaguars (from Philadelphia) The Jaguars need to add some more power to their rotation and Benton delivers just that. 73) Houston Texans (from Cleveland) The Vikings want to at least test that out with Kirk Cousins nearing the end of his tenure in Minnesota. The Seahawks have a history of taking calculated draft risks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider. He plays a premium position, is available at board value and can contribute right away even in a miraculously healthy Chargers team. 228) Tennessee Titans Mingo's 6-foot-1, 220-pound frame is almost running back-like. Saldiveri is a likely tackle-to-guard convert who could excel in pass protection after such a move. 219) Philadelphia Eagles (from Houston through Minnesota) Round 5 | Round 6 | Round 7. 250) Kansas City Chiefs (Compensatory Selection) Chicago Bears (from 49ers through Panthers). Of his 5.5 yards per carry this past season, 4.16 came after contact. 125) Los Angeles Chargers 19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers His last name is also Jones, so the fit is pretty obvious for New England. 98) Cleveland Browns (Special Compensatory Selection) Chicago adds a young, versatile defensive lineman with tremendous athletic upside. 205) Buffalo Bills The Chiefs need to replace their subpackage depth and Kelly has the size to develop into a starter outside in time. Wright offers great athleticism for his frame to play either side, depending on where the team wants to play Wirfs. After going defensive line with their first pick, the Lions will likely look to bolster their defensive back room with their second first-round selection. Buffalo's offensive line is a mess outside of left tackle and center. 18) Detroit Lions Philadelphia Eagles (from Texans through Vikings), 226. This would allow Cincinnati to cut Joe Mixon and build out one of the NFL's most exciting offenses for the 2023 season. The Panthers are having a heated internal debate about which QB to take here, but it's down to Young vs. Stround. 203) Houston Texans (from N.Y. Giants) In drafting him here, the 49ers hope he can get back to the productivity we saw in his first two seasons at LSU. The Seahawks have DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett playing at a high level together, but they have a major dropoff and limited depth behind them with which to employ more dynamic 11 personnel (three wide receiver) sets. But the Colts have nobody who strikes fear in anyone out of the slot. 141) Las Vegas Raiders The 2023 NFL Draft is scheduled to be held April 27, 2023-April 29, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. The Jaguars need to upgrade their coverage after moving on from Shaquill Griffin opposite Tyson Campbell and Darious Williams not living up to expectations. The Cardinals have a huge void at center with backup-level Hjalte Froholdt as the only option. With the potential of Alec Pierce to stretch the field and Michael Pittman Jr. to go back to thriving as a big slot, Tillman's vertical speed outside also would be welcome. They will feel comfortable with Carter despite the off-field concern that developed at the Combine and the underwhelming pro day. Mims fits the profile for what the Browns look for in the middle of the third round, a young playmaker with excellent athleticism. 2023 7-Round NFL Mock Draft 5.0 (Rounds 1-3) by Shane Hallam February 17, 2022 0 1479 0 With 2022 NFL Draft season in full swing, the players who returned to school to improve their stock will be working toward the 2023 NFL Draft. Sanders would be a fine replacement to complement Matt Milano as a great upfield player with his rare combination of flying around to tackle vs. the run and rushing the passer. Adebawore wowed scouts at the combine with his athletic performance, as he ran the 40 in 4.49 seconds and posted a 37.5-inch vertical while weighing in at 282 pounds. 1 cover corner. Cincinnati adds one of the most interesting projects in the draft. Henry provides some needed depth for 2023 and is a potential starting option down the road. 60) Cincinnati Bengals He's a nuanced route runner who knows how to separate and has been doing it ever since he went for 797 yards as a freshman at Western Michigan in 2018. 201) Houston Texans (from Minnesota) 144) Las Vegas Raiders (from Atlanta) Having posted an elite pass-rushing grade in 2022 for Texas, Ojomo has the traits to turn into a quality player in the NFL. 224) Atlanta Falcons (from Las Vegas) Houston Texans: C.J. Addressing yet another need for the Texans, Scruggs should provide depth as a rookie and potentially develop into a starter. Brown is an explosive and compact running back. Hehas four years of starting experience under his belt and, with that, one of the higher football IQs at the position in the draft class. 66 and up to No. Freeland is more of a project at this stage, but he's too freaky of an athlete at 6-foot-8 and 300 pounds to not at least take a flier on in the third round. After landing Wright to potentially start at tackle earlier in this mock, they could also add an interior option who can offer immediate savvy run blocking. White stands out for because of rate athleticism for his size. McBride was the most dominant running back in college football over the past three seasons. Mafi is a big and powerful guard prospect who could potentially vie for the Cowboys' starting left guard gig sooner rather than later. 15) New York Jets (from Green Bay) The Steelers are weak at the nose in their 3-4 and Ika has drawn comparisons to five-time Pro Bowler Casey Hampton with the way he can control the action against the run inside. BIGGEST NFL DRAFT STEALS: Round 4 | Round 5 | Round 6 | Round 7. 240) New York Giants (from Baltimore) 259. 52) Seattle Seahawks 22) Baltimore Ravens Our draft starts now! 110) Atlanta Falcons (from Tennessee) 153) Tampa Bay Buccaneers Kincaid's ability to stretch the seam and present mismatches against linebackers and safeties does exactly that. Las Vegas Raiders (from Chiefs through Giants, compensatory). April 20, 2023 9:38 am ET. Ford-Wheaton could be a solid depth player for them as a wideout and a special teamer. 38) Las Vegas Raiders The Patriots added JuJu Smith-Schuster in free agency but he was just a replacement for Jakobi Meyers. Abanikanda looks the part of an NFL back physically but is unpolished for the NFL game. The Eagles are bringing back Brandon Graham for one more season but they need to think about the future at defensive end. Palmer boasts elite speed and could help Baltimore improve downfield after the departure of Hollywood Brown during the draft last year. We've seen that occur with Patrick Mahomes, who had sloppy footwork in college, and also with Josh Allen, who needed better synchronization between his upper and lower body to place the ball more accurately. The Patriots love having absolute units at the tackle position (see: Trent Brown, Marcus Cannon and Sebastian Vollmer). Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 Hyatt can become a more complete receiver with better consistency and improved route-running. Avila will slot in there and is a safe bet to be a good pass protector at the next level. Skinner is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound box safety who could even end up in the slot or at linebacker at the next level. Gibbs blazed to a 4.36 40-yard dash and also showed tremendous receiving skills on top of being a compact power back capable of holding up for three downs in the Frank Gore vein. 42) Green Bay Packers (from Cleveland through N.Y. The Ole Miss product displays impressive vision that enables him to identify and maximize his running lanes. 2023 7-Round NFL Mock Draft 3.0 (Rounds 1-3) by Shane Hallam November 1, 2021 0 2357 Share 5 As the college season continues on, the 2023 NFL Draft class is getting clearer. Vegas adds the class' most physical cornerback in Witherspoon. 223) Los Angeles Rams Still, he had a strong performance at his pro day and the value of a player some believe to be a top-10 prospect who plays the most valuable non-quarterback position is simply too good to pass on. He can learn from Lockett before eventually replacing him. 90) Dallas Cowboys He was near unblockable this past fall, posting 66 pressures and a 90.9 overall grade. The Raiders did sign Austin Hooper and O.J. For 2023, that's jumping from just the top 31 to the complete 259, from the Panthers picking No. 221) Indianapolis Colts 48) Detroit Lions (Note: The Miami Dolphins'pick was forfeited), Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College (5-9, 182 pounds). The Lions also could use some more effective depth behind Hutchinson and based on this mock, Wilson. Dexter has great athleticism for his size and would be a another strong addition to the Bears front if they can't land Carter early. With Carter off the board, Wilson makes a ton of sense as a big complementary sack producer for 2022 No. https://draftwire.usatoday.com/lists/2023-nfl-draft-order-seven-rounds/, Your California Privacy Rights/Privacy Policy. 43) New York Jets Round 1:. Please check your email for a confirmation. 5) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) 99) San Francisco 49ers (Special Compensatory Selection) The Giants trade up to get arguably the best linebacker in the draft to pair with Bobby Okereke. Schmitz is a natural road-grading run-blocker who can blossom into a big-time asset in inside pass protection. The best way to help out an inaccurate quarterback is to give them wide receivers who get open, and JSN does just that. 126) Cleveland Browns (from Minnesota) Jordan Addison may be undersized and without elite testing numbers, but he's good at the things that matter: running routes and making plays on the field. The Browns need more of an instinctive cleanup man in the middle of their defense and Campbell is an excellent fit for their scheme. The Packers need an impact tight end for Jordan Love with Robert Tonyan leaving for the Bears in free agency. This is a solid time to pick arguably the top linebacker in the draft. He averaged 6.7 yards per carry for his career with 1,399 yards on 224 carries and 17 scores this past fall. The Seahawks stole a star cornerback, Tariq Woolen, in last year's draft, but Mike Jackson struggled on the other side with another rookie, Coby Bryant, faring well in the slot. 243) New York Giants He's a perfect complement to Justin Jefferson. 135) New England Patriots (Compensatory Selection), 136) Chicago Bears 188) Houston Texans (from New Orleans) 158) Minnesota Vikings He showed serious improvement as a route runner this past fall with a career-high 51 catches for 861 yards. Publication date: Tuesday, April 25th 2023 a 05:56 pm. Zay Flowers in the same wide receiver room as Stefon Diggs? 189) Los Angeles Rams (from Tennessee) 202) Jacksonville Jaguars 66) Arizona Cardinals After adding an outside cornerback with their first pick, the Ravens go back to the cornerback well with their second pick. He's a no-brainer piece for the Steelers as a massive upgrade in pass protection for 2022 first-round QB Kenny Pickett. Pete Fiutak Apr 29, 2023 Jenna Watson-USA TODAY Sports 2023 NFL Mock Draft Round 4 1 (103) Chicago Bears LB Nick Herbig, Wisconsin 2 (104) Houston Texans 191) Los Angeles Rams (from Green Bay) 124) Baltimore Ravens 71) New Orleans Saints With Evan Engram playing on the franchise tag, Kuntz faces no pressure to contribute in his first year and gets the needed time to develop his traits into a more refined tight end. 2023 7-Round Mock Draft (Rounds 1-3) (Shane) 11.0. The 2023 NFL Draft is a long ways away, but it is good to see some of the young prospects who could make their way into the NFL Draft. 2023 NFL Mock Draft 5.0: 7 rounds, a wild QB shake-up, and six 1st-round trades. Latest 2023 7-Round NFL Mock Draft 1) Carolina Panthers (From CHI): C.J. . McDonald can give the Broncos a long and athletic pass rusher to help them replace Bradley Chubb behind Baron Browning and Randy Gregory. Ringo provides nice size and athleticism along with physicality to help them being more aggressive to make more plays on the ball. 3) Arizona Cardinals 30) Philadelphia Eagles 227) New Orleans Saints The Texans must improve their offensive line depth behind Laremy Tunsil and Tytus Howard. 164) San Francisco 49ers Roy's power and athleticism can help him be an asset vs. the run while he develops some pass-rush skills in a rotation. Posting two straight seasons with an 82.2-plus PFF grade and tying top edge prospect Will Anderson Jr. for the most sacks in the Power Five (13) last season should have garnered Tuipulotu more attention. Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 The Eagles can't go into the season trusting oft-injured former Seahawk Rashaad Penny as a reliable lead back to replace Miles Sanders and should just make this worthy luxury pick, putting Alabama's latest star back with Hurts. Round 5 | Round 6 | Round 7. The Packers need a tight end after losing Robert Tonyan and potentially Marcedes Lewis. 121. PFF's Big Board for the 2024 NFL Draft offers three-year player grades, combine measurables, position rankings, and in-depth player analysis for all of the top draft prospects. While Levis isn't a finished product, he provides a lot of upside for a franchise that hasn't had a consistent starter since Andrew Luck retired. 159) Detroit Lions (from Jacksonville through Atlanta) The Seattle edge defenders finished in the bottom five in win rate as a unit last season. Either way, he knows how to rush the passer after earning 91.1 and 91.4 such grades the past two seasons. The Commanders know that Curtis Samuel's durability is a consistent issue and Dell's open-field pop should have plenty of appeal as a replacement to groom. He was still productive on tape and earned a career-high 80.2 grade in 2021. When the play remains in structure, he is comfortable and confident in delivering the ball where it needs to go. 1) Carolina Panthers (from Chicago) . He excelled in man coverage this past year at Illinois, which makes him a good scheme fit for a Raiders team lacking an alpha presence in the secondary. 91) Buffalo Bills 20) Seattle Seahawks The Falcons need some durable power running depth behind Tyler Allgeier and Bigsby is a pounder with welcome gamebreaking qualities. Brown has some of the best ball production in the class, securing 10 picks over the past two seasons. If the Cowboys take a tight end in Round 1, he needs to add a dimension to the offense. Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State (6-0, 180 pounds). The Buccaneers should think about trading up a few picks should they see Levis drop outside of the top seven, but it would be even harder to ignore his availability with this pick. 51) Miami Dolphins Sewell is a throwback linebacker who joins his brother Penei as a young prospect at only 20 years old. 121) Jacksonville Jaguars (from Tampa Bay) Young stands out on film as a skilled pass rusher with the frame and motor required to continue to develop. His NFL Draft Combine performance was a disaster, as he scored just a 57 on his athleticism score, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. 182) Los Angeles Rams 45) Green Bay Packers Jets) Simpson brings exceptional athleticism and versatility, with career snap alignment rates of 26% from the slot, 46% from the box and 26% from the defensive line. With just three safeties on the roster, the Texans fill another need in the versatile Antonio Johnson. Phillips was very productive in college and fits Raheem Morris' scheme well for a smaller corner. But he is one of the best in the class at filling from deep and making a ton of plays on the back end. 214) Las Vegas Raiders (Compensatory Selection) Wideout is still a position in need of an upgrade and Boutte's blend of speed, quickness and route-running fits the Patriots' type. Stetson Bennett is a baller, and while he has limitations that likely mean he will be no more than a backup at the next level, there's a chance he can be more than that. The Titans need to get a dynamic change of pace who can also fill in well for Derrick Henry given the veteran's wear and tear. 34) Arizona Cardinals He earned an 85.1 pass-blocking grade this past season. He surrendered only nine pressures on true pass sets over the past two seasons. Indianapolis Colts (from Buccaneers), 241. Here's a gallery of the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. Pickens is far more talented than his 67.3 overall grade in 2022 suggests. Kelee Ringo is the best cornerback available at this point and has the size and frame to match up with opposing receivers. Despite being on the smaller side for an edge rusher, Ojulari was very productive in college, registering 127 pressures in three seasons at LSU. 96) Arizona Cardinals (Compensatory Selection) He can be the ideal power back to complement James Cook given newcomer Damien Harris' durability issues. Dell follows in the footsteps of Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett as a shorter receiver who can play both out wide and in the slot. That's no longer Jalen Carter with his off-field and workout concerns. They should covet Simpson's toughness and speed with which to cover a ton of ground and make plenty of plays in coverage and against the run. Gonzalez went gangbusters at the Combine to confirm his status as the top corner in the class. Van Ness' 27.7% pressure rate on true pass sets in 2022 ranked fourth in the FBS. Steen has four years of starting experience but figures to be a guard convert at the next level. Green Bay Packers (from Browns through Jets). The Bengals traded Nos. The Bengals must address safety after Jessie Bates III (Falcons) and Vonn Bell (Panthers) left for the NFC South in free agency. The Eagles can move him all over the defensive line. 55) Detroit Lions (from Minnesota) 33) Houston Texans The Seahawks, after landing Carter for another part of their defense in this mock, should also consider the best pass rusher available with their fourth selection in the top 40. 41) Tennessee Titans 22 gives the Ravens an extra two selections in the top 110 of this draft, and they still find a potential starter opposite Marlon Humphrey at cornerback. 13) Green Bay Packers (from N.Y. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame (6-5, 249 pounds). Branch is the perfect player for this secondary. 72) Tennessee Titans Because of this, the Browns don't make a pick in the . 12) Houston Texans (from Cleveland) 95) Kansas City Chiefs 156) Los Angeles Chargers 3 and 168. Robinson is a terrific power back who has special three-down skills. 17) Pittsburgh Steelers 183) Detroit Lions (from Denver) On tape, he possesses some of the best feet and mirroring ability in the class and should add much-needed depth to Denver's secondary. The Panthers need to improve their size and depth in coverage behind rising shutdown star Jaycee Horn with Donte Jackson continuing to disappoint. His 172-pound frame might make it a challenge for him to translate to the NFL, though. 199) Baltimore Ravens Bennett has speed for days. He coughed up five balls this season to tie for the national lead. The Browns could use to bolster their run defense with a power play of Young's ilk. Warren has long arms (35 3/8 inches) and improved in each of his four seasons as a starter. 131) Cincinnati Bengals Enter Josh Downs, who earned a 90.6 receiving grade from the slot at North Carolina and immediately adds a new dynamic to this receiver room. MORE:Grading NFL free agency moves for all 32 teams from best (Bears) to worst (Packers), Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida(6-4, 244 pounds). 169) Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Selection) 187) New England Patriots (from Carolina) 108) Denver Broncos Mapu played safety at Sacramento State, but his physical play style and easy movement skill set at 6-foot-3 and 216 pounds have some teams evaluating him as a linebacker. He may struggle to see the field if his fumble issues persist, though. 115) New Orleans Saints 67) Denver Broncos (from Indianapolis) Smith-Njigba can be a useful speedy, quick and smooth route-running slot at first given Lockett and Metcalf are playing mostly outside.
