Lions 2023 draft: 1st scouting impressions of some defensive Senior Bowl prospects

Breaking down some first scouting impressions of 2023 NFL draft defensive prospects who could interest the Lions at the Senior Bowl

The 74th annual Senior Bowl is rapidly approaching. Practices for the all-star game begin in a week, with over 100 of the top eligible prospects looking to augment their 2023 NFL draft stock in the practice sessions, meeting rooms and interview studios.

I’ll be back in Mobile for my 14th Senior Bowl week. Much of this week is devoted to getting more familiar with the players I’ll see during the week and if they might hold some interest for the Detroit Lions in the coming NFL draft.

Here are some scouting first/early impressions of a few Senior Bowl defensive prospects

New Year, new mock: Browns land Josh Downs, Byron Young in 2023 NFL Mock Draft

The Browns land a high-profile playmaker in this New Year’s Eve mock draft

With just two weeks left in the season, and with the Cleveland Browns getting set to take on the Washington Commanders on New Year’s Day, we are officially nearing 2023 NFL Draft territory. And as we ramp up to draft activities, more mock drafts will come out as well. Celebrate the New Year with this 2023 NFL Mock Draft for the Browns!

Even without a first round pick, the Browns have eight draft picks to work with. Defensive tackle is a big need for the Browns, but so is wide receiver as they look to incorporate more air raid concepts into their offense in 2023. They address both of those positions early in this mock draft as they look to add talent to their underachieving roster.

Enjoy!

2023 NFL Mock Draft: Browns add speedy Jalin Hyatt to create verticality offensively

The Browns have eight picks to make a difference to their roster.

The season is essentially over for the Cleveland Browns after they lost to an underwhelming New Orleans Saints team on Christmas Eve. This means we are fully onboard toward the 2023 NFL Draft. The first start to that is an uptick in 2023 NFL Mock Drafts as we fantasize about filling all of the holes on the Browns’ roster this Spring.

Again, the Browns do not have a first round pick after the Deshaun Watson trade and are not set to come on the clock until the 42nd overall pick in the draft at this point. Regardless, they have eight picks to move around, fill gaps on their roster, and improve the team.

Who do the Browns land in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft?

The Cleveland Browns do not have much to look forward to as they have all but been eliminated from the playoffs after a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. This is why we are now seeing an uptick in 2023 NFL Mock Drafts. While they do not have a first round pick, the Browns do have a total of eight picks in this upcoming draft.

With needs at defensive end, defensive tackle, tight end, wide receiver, and more, what can the Browns do this Spring to upgrade their roster? Here is a 2023 NFL Mock Draft for the Browns as we attempt to plug some holes in Berea.
