NFL mock draft 2023

The Chicago Bears are on the clock. With the early window of Week 18 games officially closed, the window for securing the No. 1 pick is shut, as well.

Clemson's Myles Murphy could also find himself in that discussion. Some consider the Kentucky passer to be a first-round talent, while others believe he may fall out of the first round completely. — The Broncos traded pass-rusher Bradley Chubb to the Dolphins for a first-round pick prior to the 2022 NFL trade deadline. 7-10 Houston flirted with the No. Will they trade the pick for a haul?

2023 NFL Draft order, team needs: Texans cost themselves No. 1 pick with late TD, conversion; Bears pick 1st ; 1. Chicago Bears (3-14) · WR, OT, LB, DT, EDGE ; 2.

With their 32-31 last-minute victory over the Indianapolis Colts, Houston conceded the first overall pick in the 2023 draft to the Chicago Bears, who lost, 29- ...

The New York Jets have the 13th and 44th picks in the 2023 draft, and there might not be another team in more desperate need at the quarterback position. So, the Titans, who lost their last seven games and were eliminated from the postseason, may decide to go in a different direction with a new general manager, as Jon Robinson was fired in early December. Between their own picks and Denver’s, Seattle currently has the fifth, 20th, 38th, and 54th picks in the first two rounds of the draft. Do the Texans then take the other top quarterback, or do they declare their openness for a trade as well? With the sixth and 14th picks in that draft, Seattle took offensive tackle Russell Okung and safety Earl Thomas, which was a pretty good haul. Seattle general manager John Schneider loves to trade down to acquire more picks, though he’s not been in a situation like this since 2010, the first year of the Pete Carroll/Schneider era. But given the talent drought that franchise has right now, they need as many picks as possible. Where it gets interesting is that unless these teams do something to move their quarterbacks in the offseason (highly unlikely), neither the Bears nor the Cardinals need quarterbacks. When the Arizona Cardinals lost 38-13 to the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona moved from the fourth overall pick to the third at 4-12, while the Seattle Seahawks — who have Denver’s pick as part of the Russell Wilson trade — now pick fifth, behind the Colts. Each week our game plan to be to win the game. I don’t really have a reaction one way or the other right now. With that, Chicago’s 3-14 record allowed the Bears to jump the Texans at 3-13-1.

We look at the Texans' draft position after this week and break down who they may select in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

1 pick to the No. A 32-21 win over to the Colts dropped Houston from the No. [Houston Texans](https://www.battleredblog.com/) clinched the No.

In a weekend full of improbable football, perhaps nothing was harder to wrap your brain around than the Texans, with nothing to play for, jumping out to a ...

Antonio Johnson flies around the field like he's shot out of a cannon, looks to run through the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage, and is a wrap-up tackler in space. He might be more likely to go in Round 2, but don't be surprised if you hear his name a lot in the coming months. He's one of the top tackles in the class, and now the question is whether he finds his way into Round 1 or goes early on Day 2. Cam Smith is a first-round talent who can be a Day 1 contributor. He's a sure tackler, can blitz off the edge, and is solid in coverage, and if Nick Saban trusts him, that's all you need to know about his NFL prospects. A year after five Bulldogs went in Round 1, expect a handful this time around, too. The Packers have neglected the wide receiver position for years -- including the 2020 class, one of the deepest in draft history -- so why not finally give Aaron Rodgers a pass catcher taken in Round 1? 1 pick in this draft -- and he very well may be now that the Bears hold that selection -- but the Cardinals land the elite pass rusher here after a forgettable season that could see a lot of changes in the coming months. As always, thanks to all of you for the comments, thumbs up, and kind words regarding our new endeavor, the "With the First Pick" draft podcast. It means that teams looking for pass rushers may have to focus their Day 1 attention elsewhere, or perhaps, reach for a player. We put this very question to Spielman, and here's what he said when it comes to drafting QBs in the first round: This had less to do with Stroud, who had a stellar campaign for the Buckeyes, and more to do with the other three names; Alabama's Young is historically undersized, Levis had a forgettable season for Kentucky, and Richardson probably should've returned to Florida after an uneven year.

The 2022-23 NFL regular season is over and the 2023 NFL Draft order is set for the non-playoff teams. It's time for a new NFL mock draft.

Hyatt can instantly become Kansas City’s top vertical threat and open up the field even more for Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster (if he returns). [re-set the OT market](https://thedraftnetwork.com/laremy-tunsil-texans-next-contract-value/) with his next contract, and the Texans shouldn’t be the ones to do it. 40 overall), 2023 4th-round pick (No. is a blend of size, power, and athleticism that will be a plus in both the run and pass game, while likely growing into one of the leaders of the team. 36 overall), 2023 2nd-round pick (No. CHI receives: 2023 1st-round pick (No. 9 overall), 2023 2nd-round pick (No. [Kyle Crabbs’ latest NFL mock draft](https://thedraftnetwork.com/2023-nfl-mock-draft-qb-trades/) has them sending this pick to Baltimore for Lamar Jackson. Jalen Carter is arguably the best overall player in the class and would add another element to a team that wants to win with a disruptive defense. In this NFL mock draft, they make a trade-back with the Bears, who need to add as many picks and talented players as possible. While a (likely) new GM will be tempted to trade back and get more picks, no one will fault them for selecting an elite-level pass-rusher who’s the No. While there are some tantalizing defensive talents to take at No.

The NFL playoffs are kicking off. The College Football Playoff is ending. That transitional period is an ideal time to clock in with a new 2023 mock draft.

Wilson is explosive and versatile for his size, capable of playing multiple impact positions along a front seven. The Lions could use a rangy bookend for 2022 No. The Steelers need a long-term rock in front of Kenny Pickett's blind side and Skoronksi can deliver with his smooth quickness and athleticism on the edge. Bresee offers good technique and nimble feet as a run-stopper and also can boost the inside pass rush. Mayer is a matchup-nightmare creating receiver at his position and can fit in nicely with fellow big-play youngsters Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs at wideout. 1 wideout for the sake of Mac Jones with Jakobi Meyers and others heading into free agency and DeVante Parker not being reliable with his health ahead of his Age-30 season. The Titans can get Johnson to pair nicely with fellow former Buckeye Nicholas Petit-Frere as the near future bookends. The Eagles stash for their future with their first of two picks in the round, knowing Darius Slay just turned 32 and James Bradberry is going into his age-30 season. The Falcons must invest in revving up their 3-4 pass rush and Foskey can fit the bill with his powerful, explosive and technically sound game. They can land Stroud, a smart pocket passer with the right accuracy and intangibles to thrive as their true delayed franchise replacement for Andrew Luck. The Cardinals have an easy pick to make here with J.J. Without including any potential trades, here are Sporting News' projections for how the selections will play out from No.

"Fluid body with ample mass for the position. He mirrors pass-catchers before and after contact but excels after landing his hands and slowing receivers down." "The Maryland native boasts a thick, long frame and notable lower and upper body strength. "Stellar length for the position, long arms, and rangy frame. "A rare blend of size, athleticism, toughness and pure natural talent, Mayer is the definition of a prototype at the tight end position. Wilson has an explosive first step and long strides to beat tackles around their outside shoulders or make plays as a backside run defender." "Athletic linebacker who can come downhill in a hurry and limit rushing yardage. At the line of scrimmage, Johnston uses his explosiveness, jab steps, hesitations, and hand usage to release." "He has very flexible hips, knees, and ankles that aid his change of direction. "An immediate impact player as a freshman, the Georgia native demonstrates quick, first step-explosion, along with great strength and versatility. Here is the first round mock draft of the week with players that could be selected with the first 32 picks. "He is one of the most twitchy and fastest pass-rushers that we’ve seen come off the edge in quite some time.

The Dallas Cowboys bring in even more offensive firepower and the Carolina Panthers reach for a quarterback in our latest 2023 NFL Mock Draft.

However, they also need help on defense after trading away Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, and Roquan Smith in the same year. He’s not lacking in athleticism either as Carter can get past linemen with his explosive first step and quickness. 1 overall, the Chicago Bears add Jalen Carter, a massive defensive tackle who can play on multiple fronts.
