2023 NFL mock draft round-up: Experts make final picks for Patriots at No. 14

A round-up of the final Round 1 predictions in the 2023 NFL draft.

A rush of final predictions are pouring in with the 2023 NFL draft slated for Thursday night.

It’s obvious at this point that the New England Patriots are the most unpredictable team on the board with the No. 14 overall pick. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing for a team that has done the work in the offseason to ensure they didn’t have any glaring holes heading into the draft.

Granted, there are areas that definitely need upgrading, including wide receiver, offensive tackle, cornerback and inside linebacker. But the Patriots are in a desired position of being able to take the best available player on the board when they’re on the clock.

That has made for a lot of fun mock drafts when it comes to what the team might do with the No. 14 pick. Today, we’re rounding up all of the final predictions from NFL experts ahead of Thursday’s big event.
