2023 feels like it’s going to be a draft full of surprises. There’s always some differences between mocking and reality, quite a lot actually. But this year’s draft feels like an argument about ice cream flavors. To borrow the analogy from Cowboys radio personality and former scout Bryan Broaddus, there seems to be a wide variety of names which could populate the first round.
This year’s QB class feels like a precursor to a historic one next year, but can GMs and coaches really wait it out? The top tier of talent seems a little thin compared to other years. Does that lead teams to move around a lot of does it afford them sitting and allowing their guy to reach them? In our latest first-round mock, the final one for the 2023 draft season, it’s a little bit of everything.
We know, it’s probably all bad, but it feels good at this juncture.
Five QBs go in the first round with four in the top 10. Despite acknowledging that WR grades are lower than in year’s past, four of them go here. Check out how we see Thursday’s first round unfolding, then come back to laugh at all of the mistakes.
