2023 NFL mock draft: New 3-round projections with big QB trades, comp picks

See how a flurry of big trades for top quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers, impact this three-round projection for the 2023 NFL draft

Every year, with every NFL draft, the conversation starts and stops with the top quarterback prospects in the class.

This crop of passers is no exception, and with four of them worthy of top-10 consideration, expect a flurry of trade offers to start flying around sooner than later, as the most quarterback-needy teams near the top of the draft order do whatever it takes to make sure they land one.

Those blockbuster trades for quarterbacks could also include one big-name veteran, as Aaron Rodgers could be on the move, which could have an impact on the first round.
