NFL Mock Draft 2023: Trade-tempted Bears take Will Anderson Jr ... (Sporting News)

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.

[Travis Kelce](https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/travis-kelce/7844) is going to be 34 years old next season.

2023 NFL Mock Draft: Colts Trade Up With Bears, Panthers Climb ... (NFL Mocks)

The first post-regular season mock draft is here! A major trade occurs between the Colts and Bears, Will Levis joins the Panthers, and more!

Future Hall of Famer, JJ Watt, is on the way out the door; what better way to replace a generational pass rusher with another generational pass rusher? Chicago adds arguably the best player in the 2023 NFL Draft, plus extra draft capital for the future. In this scenario, the Indianapolis Colts leap to the top of the draft board. Stroud feels like more of a Chris Ballard pick, given his ties to the Big Ten and a tendency to draft players from that conference. Now that we know the strong points of this NFL Draft class, it is time to dive into the first mock draft of the offseason for 18 franchises. Chicago brings back a haul to surround quarterback Justin Fields with talent going forward, and the Colts guarantee their quarterback of choice in the 2023 NFL Draft. With the Chicago Bears securing the rights to the No. With over half of the 2023 NFL Draft order locked, mock draft season is ready to ramp back up. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. A major trade — or two — shake up the early portion of the 2023 NFL Draft. (Alabama) and Myles Murphy (Clemson) lead the way for the pass-rushing group. Several day-one starting running backs are in the 2023 NFL Draft,

2023 NFL mock draft: New top-5 order leads to huge QB-related trade (Touchdown Wire)

The 2023 NFL draft got a major shake-up in Week 18. In Doug Farrar's latest mock draft, that has one team trading heavy for a franchise QB.

Here, the Lions give up the sixth overall pick (which they got from the Los Angeles Rams along with Goff in the Matthew Stafford trade), and their own 18th pick, along with their 2024 first-round pick, for the privilege of moving up to first overall and taking Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Stroud to the Texans with the second overall pick, and given what Stroud showed in the College Football Playoff semi-final against Georgia, that’s a pretty good second place. The Chicago Bears went from second to first after losing to the Minnesota Vikings, the Arizona Cardinals went from fourth to third after losing to the San Francisco 49ers, the Colts moved from fifth to fourth after that Texans loss, and the Seattle Seahawks moved from third to fifth by dint of the Denver Broncos (who traded that pick and others for Russell Wilson) beating the Los Angeles Chargers. Not only do they have the first overall pick with which to transact, they also have an utterly insane amount of cap space once the 2023 league year kicks over in March. That leaves the Seahawks — who may decide to roll with Geno Smith on a new contract, select a developmental quarterback later in the draft, and focus on their defense up top. Now, the Bears will be the kings of the offseason.

Bennett may be one win away from achieving an untouchable legacy in the college game, but he will have to claw and scratch his way onto an NFL roster.
