NFL Network reporters gather around the set of NFL Mock Draft Live  before the start of the 2023 NFL Draft and all agree “Bryce Young will definitely be the first overall pick C.J. Stroud has nothing on him.”

Hello and welcome to our 2023 NFL Mock Draft 

1. Carolina Panthers (via Chicago):  Bryce Young

Bryce Young without a doubt is a can’t-miss prospect and is the best QB in the draft. 

2. Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud

Houston will take whichever QB is left out of Stroud and Young. 

3. Arizona Cardinals: Will Anderson Jr

Will Anderson without a doubt is the best definitive player in the draft and is a good pickup for Arizona at three. 

4: Indianapolis Colts: Will Levis

Levis is the best remaining QB with the highest upside. 

5: Seattle Seahawks: (via Denver Broncos): Tyree Wilson

Tyree Wilson is the next best edge rusher in the draft, a big need for Seattle. 

6: Detroit Lions: (via La Rams) Devon Witherspoon

Devon is the best corner in the draft and a must-have for the Lions.

7:Las Vegas Raiders: Anthony Richardson 

The Raiders will take whatever top QB falls to them at seven which in this case is Anthony Richardson. 

8: Atlanta Falcons: Jalen Carter

Carter was considered to be the top prospect in the draft but has fallen due to off-the-field issues and a not-so-good combine and pro day showing but Atlanta would be more than happy to pick him up .

9 Chicago Bears (Via Carolina Panthers): Paris Johnson Jr

Johnson is clearly the top OT in the 2023 class and this move would be greatly appreciated by Bears QB Justin Fields. 

10 Philadelphia Eagles: (Via Saints): Bijan Robinson

With the exit of Philadelphia’s top running back Miles Sanders, this is the Super Bowl runner-up’s best pick here. 

11 Tennessee Titans: Peter Skoronski

OT is a glaring need on the Titans roster and this is a player that can fill that void left by Taylor Lewan who left this offseason. 

12 Houston Texans (Via Cleveland Brown): Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

This is the best way to support Stroud the Texan’s 2nd overall pick by pairing him with his top college receiver. 

13 Projected Trade: Green Bay Packers (via NY Jets) Brodrick Jones 

The Packers need a WR for sure, but knowing the Packers they are going to boost their already top 10 O-line. Don’t get me wrong, Brodrick is an amazing prospect but the Packers just don’t need him, but they will still take him.

14 New England Patriots: Christian Gonzalez

The Patriots would be more than happy for possibly the best DB in the draft to fall right into their lap. They’ve been struggling to find a good corner since Stephon Gilmore.

15 Green Bay Packers: Lucas Van Ness

Van Ness is a hit-or-miss prospect. If he hits his ceiling then he will be a top piece on the Packer’s Defence for years to come.

16 Washington Commanders: Quinton Johnson

Washington needs a WR two to complaint 2022 draftee Jahan Dotson definitely if they want to build around Sam Howell who would need all the help he can get to grow as a player. 

17 Pittsburgh Steelers: Joey Porter JR

Pittsburg who saw the release of their top corner means they have a new top need Porter is a very good option. 

18 Detroit Lions: Myles Murphy

In our opinion, Myles Murphy is a top-10 defensive prospect in the draft and is very overlooked. He had an amazing college career at Clemson and we predict he will have similar success in the NFL.

19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Micheal Mayer

The Bucs have had a bottom 3 tight end in the league since Gronk Left and Mayer is one of the best TE prospects in a while.

20 Seattle Seahawks: Zay Flowers

Zay could be the best receiver in the draft and fall right into one of the best-receiving cores in the league.

21 LA Chargers: Brian Breese

Bryan Brese can easily turn out to be the best defensive lineman in the draft.

22 Baltimore Ravens: Nolan Smith

Smith was always out shadowed by Jalen Carter at Georgia and we think that he can make a great name for himself in Baltimore.

23 Minnesota Vikings: Anton Harrison

Anton Harrison would be a great addition to a not-so-great Vikings O-line.

24 Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Branch

Brian is the best safety in the draft and the Jags need a safety.

25 New York Giants: Jordan Addison

New York is fresh out of an unexpected playoff berth and win over the Vikings but their main issue receiver we believe they will take the best one left being  Addison in this case 

26 Dallas Cowboys: O’Cyrus Torrence

Dallas clearly needs an O-line and they will get a good option here in Torrence he should be able to bolster Dallas’s O-line and gain wisdom from more experienced guys like Zack Martin 

27 Buffalo Bills: Keion White

Could you imagine this beast rushing the passer on one side while Von Miller rushes the other? That would be unstoppable!

28 Cincinnati Bengals: Darnell Wright

Cincinnati is a complete team but doesn’t have a good pass-catching TE. 

29: New Orleans Saints: BJ Ojulari

With Cameron Jordan on his way out he needs someone to pass the torch to. In this case that person is BJ.
