Even though none of the 2023 NFL draftees have played a snap of professional football, Matt Miller of ESPN ranked the 100 best 2023 NFL draft picks and steals. His list includes a compilation of the players’ ability as well as the value of where they were taken in the draft.
For example, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected No. 20 overall, but he was No. 5 on Miller’s big board. So his draft spot combined with his talent makes for the No. 1 pick on his list.
Alabama football was strongly represented on this list with seven players on the top 100. The only three drafted Alabama players to not make this list were DeMarcco Hellams, Cameron Latu and Tyler Steen.
