2023 NFL mock draft: 2-round projections with big trades, and a new No. 1

In this two-round mock for the 2023 NFL draft, Draft Wire editor Luke Easterling starts the big surprises early

The first week of NFL playoff action is officially in the books, which means we’re one week closer to the predraft process hitting full speed for all 32 teams.

It’s never a surprise when high-upside passers fly up the draft board leading up to the draft, and there are plenty of worthy candidates for that kind of leap this year.

Which teams could be enticed to make a bold move up the board to land one of them? Will it happen at the No. 1 overall pick, and which one will be the target?

*NOTE: The Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick in next year’s draft as a result of the NFL’s investigation into tampering violations.
