Recapping the 2023 NFL Draft
NFL
Published on : 5/2/2023
A recap of the 2023 NFL Draft, with analysis from NFLDraftScout.com. Players and their college, height, weight and 40-yard times are listed. (For height: 1st digit=feet; 2nd/3rd=Inches; 4th=eighths of inch)
1 - 1 Panthers *Bryce Young, QB, Alabama, 5101, 204, 4.58
As predicted by most. Now the undersized magician must show he can pull the rabbit out of the hat against NFL defenses intent on squishing him like a bug.
2 - 1 Texans *C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State, 6030, 214, 4.74
Texans could have traded to acquire more picks for their anemic roster, but opted for Stroud, our top-rated quarterback, and then. . .
3 - 1 Texans *Will Anderson Jr., DE, Alabama, 6034, 253, 4.60
Great trade up top get Anderson, who was the top edge player on most lists. Now he will be asked to be more productive in the NFL than he was in college.
4 - 1 Colts *Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida, 6042, 244, 4.43
Swinging for the fences, the Colts grabbed a phenomenal athlete who now must show he can become a good quarterback. Big leap to NFL after only 13 college games.
5 - 1 Seahawks Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois, 5114, 181, 4.45
Big payoff for a guy who was a no-star prep recruit and then showed aggressiveness that frustrated receivers—but drew penalty flags.
6 - 1 Cardinals *Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State, 6063, 313, 5.12
Looked good in 13 games at left tackle last year and might help keep Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray upright and healthy.
7 - 1 Raiders Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech, 6055, 271, 4.76
With wingspan of a two-car garage, Wilson should team with Maxx Crosby to bedevil the AFC West's list of dangerous quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and, looking for a bounce-back year, Russell Wilson.
8 - 1 Falcons *Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas, 5110, 215, 4.46
His tremendous talent as a rusher, receiver will change the outdated theory that running backs should be devalued. He can control games. Early candidate for Offensive Rookie of Year.
9 - 1 Eagles *Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia, 6030, 323, 4.83
The rich get richer with Carter, possibly the best athlete in the draft at any position. Eagles must keep him focused on football after a problematic off-season off the field.
10 - 1 Bears Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee, 6053, 333, 5.01
Mean-spirited offensive lineman who played all over the front in college but looked better at right tackle and right guard more than at the prized left tackle position.
11 - 1 Titans *Peter Skoronski, OG, Northwestern, 6040, 313, 5.16
This athletic beast started in 33 straight games at left tackle, but with short arms (32 1/4 inches) looks like a plug-and-play at NFL guard.
12 - 1 Lions *Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama, 5091, 199, 4.36
Two RBs in top 12 may indicate NFL realizes some have major value. Gibbs can score from anywhere with a 40-yard time of 4.36 seconds.
13 - 1 Packers *Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa, 6050, 272, 4.58
Next game he starts will be first since high school as he came off bench in all 27 college games, but devoured blockers in an animalistic manner.
14 - 1 Steelers *Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia, 6053, 313, 4.97
Another star at left tackle in college, but could be a menace at guard immediately.
15 - 1 Jets Will McDonald IV, DE, Iowa State, 6035, 239, 4.70
Surprisingly high pick of a guy who didn’t even watch football until junior year of high school, but had 34 college sacks. Still learning to harness his athleticism.
16 - 1 Commanders *Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State, 6006, 170, 4.35
In a cornerback-heavy draft, Forbes was my personal favorite. A skinny terror (166-170 pounds) with larceny in his heart: FBS record six pick-sixes in three seasons, eight in four years (counting high school).
17 - 1 Patriots *Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon, 6013, 197, 4.38
Can start as a rookie in a division full of great quarterbacks.
18 - 1 Lions Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa, 6045, 249, 4.65
Coach Dan Campbell got another "knee biter" with this athletic thumper who was expected to be a mid-second round pick.
19 - 1 Bucs *Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh, 6010, 281, 4.67
He dislikes the comparison, but Kancey looks like the second coming of Aaron Donald in terms of size and athleticism, including blink-quick first step and 40-yard time of 4.67 seconds at 281 pounds.
20 - 1 Seahawks *Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State, 6005, 196, 4.52
Interesting addition to a team with excellent wide receivers. Was rated best of so-so receiver class. Probably a slot player.
21 - 1 Chargers *Quentin Johnston, WR, Texas Christian, 6026, 212, 4.52
Another addition to a talented wide receiver room, meaning another target for quarterback Justin Herbert on those fourth-down gambles.
22 - 1 Ravens Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College, 5092, 182, 4.42
Curiously, Flowers made late climb in ratings on many lists the last couple of weeks, after we locked him at No. 51. Compared to feisty Steve Smith Sr., one of our all-time favorites.
23 - 1 Vikings *Jordan Addison, WR, Southern California, 5111, 173, 4.49
Biletnikoff winner at Pitt in 2021 who transferred to USC last season and wasn’t on his game the entire year. Nifty, but small.
24 - 1 Giants *Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland, 6001, 203, 4.35
Maybe the only corner to have a good game against OSU's Marvin Harrison Jr. With great attitude and 40-yard time of 4.35 seconds, Banks is one of several CBs who will start as rookie.
25 - 1 Bills Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah, 6035, 246, 4.63
Look out AFC East. The pick of Kincaid gives quarterback Josh Allen yet another target. Kincaid's receiving yards and 35 touchdowns were career bests among active tight ends last season.
26 - 1 Cowboys *Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan, 6030, 323, 4.96
Upon further review, we underrated Smith at 52 overall. Two-year starter is on the ascent and can create havoc all long tine interior defensive line.
27 - 1 Jaguars *Anton Harrison, OG, Oklahoma, 6043, 315, 4.98
Not sure where he will play after lining up in college at RT 27 times, LT 13 and RG twice. Regardless, he will help quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne.
28 - 1 Bengals *Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson, 6046, 268, 4.53
Should fit best as base end. Power rusher who will need to add finesse and should start as a rookie.
29 - 1 Saints *Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson, 6054, 302, 4.86
Outstanding talent, but last season Bresee battled through injuries and the emotional trauma of losing his younger sister to brain cancer.
30 - 1 Eagles Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia, 6022, 238, 4.39
With DT Jalen Carter (No. 8 overall), the Eagles snagged two of the best athletes in the first round. Smith ran 40 yards in 4.39 seconds at Indy Combine and will be a major menace to opposing QBs. Hard to believe he lasted this long.
31 - 1 Chiefs *Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State, 6031, 255, 4.73
This was our lowest ranked player (76) taken in first round (31) and we were wrong. Powerful lower body, huge wingspan and strong hands. Should play plenty as rookie along the interior DL.
32 - 2 Steelers *Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State, 6024, 198, 4.46
The son of the former Steeler great, Porter Jr. is an aggressive cover man who will need to cut down on his penalties to be a top-quality NFL corner.
33 - 2 Titans Will Levis, QB, Kentucky, 6037, 229, 4.70
Levis fell further than expected, likely because of concerns about his mechanics and ‘22 game tape. Still, the physical gifts the strong-armed, charismatic Levis brings to the table are undeniable, and Tennessee seems like a favorable landing spot.
34 - 2 Lions Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa, 6032, 245, 4.59
Going earlier than we expected, LaPorta makes sense for a Lions team looking to fill the hole created last season by the trade of T.J. Hockenson. Needs to improve his blocking but has the potential to be a solid receiving option in the pros.
35 - 2 Raiders *Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame, 6044, 249, 4.70
Mayer has the size, strength, smarts and intensity to succeed at the next level. His basketball background and sure hands should make him a reliable third-down receiver.
36 - 2 Rams Steve Avila, OG, Texas Christian, 6034, 332, 5.21
Avila will be asked to help stabilize an interior offensive line that put QB Matthew Stafford’s welfare in jeopardy in 2022. The powerful Avila should be a plug-and-play guard with the versatility to play center if called upon.
37 - 2 Seahawks Derick Hall, OLB, Auburn, 6026, 254, 4.55
Long, athletic pass rusher with a broad wingspan and an engine that stays in the red. Seahawks see this four-year starter and Auburn team captain as another key piece towards restoring their Legion of Boom glory.
38 - 2 Falcons Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse, 6052, 318, 5.28
They say the best ability is availability and Bergeron’s 39 starts at Syracuse bodes well for a lengthy NFL career. Shorter arms explain why the Falcons plan to switch him from tackle to guard, but his strengths as a run-blocker should make the transition a smooth one.
39 - 2 Panthers Jonathan Mingo, WR, Mississippi, 6016, 220, 4.46
His mechanics and route-running need coaching up, but Mingo’s impressive combination of size and speed had him shooting up draft boards.
40 - 2 Saints *Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame, 6051, 264, 4.58
The Saints look for Foskey and first-round pick Bryan Bresee to anchor their defensive front for years to come. What he presently lacks in pass-rushing skill, Foskey makes up for in high-energy pursuit, with some believing his best days as a player are ahead of him.
41 - 2 Cardinals *BJ Ojulari, OLB, LSU, 6023, 248, 4.59
The grandson of a Nigerian prince, Ojulari blends the versatility, explosiveness, and flexibility off the edge to be pass-rushing royalty some day. Another prospect who gathered more and more positive attention as the draft approached.
42 - 2 Packers Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State, 6057, 251, 4.61
We had this long-striding, deceptively fast TE as a first-round talent, but injuries likely caused his stock to drop for some teams. If Musgrave stays healthy, Packer QB Jordan Love will have a new best friend.
43 - 2 Jets *Joe Tippmann, C, Wisconsin, 6060, 313, 4.97
The next QB to touch Tippmann’s backside and to blast him for failing to adjust a protection will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. (No pressure kid.) Tippmann seems to have the smarts and experience to handle whatever Rodgers and new OC, Nathaniel Hackett, throw at him.
44 - 2 Colts Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State, 6026, 198, 4.53
The Colts think more highly of Brents than we currently do, but his size, athleticism, and ball skills give him a chance of being a forceful NFL corner. Brents could see a lot of yellow at the next level if he doesn’t improve his footwork and discipline his aggressiveness.
45 - 2 Lions *Brian Branch, FS, Alabama, 5115, 190, 4.58
If a Branch falls in the draft and no one is around…does it make a sound? This savvy safety dropped further than most expected, despite the fact that he has the athleticism and physicality to cover tight ends, wideouts, and slot receivers.
46 - 2 Patriots Keion White, DT, Georgia Tech, 6047, 281, 4.79
Though a bit older of a prospect, this 24-year-old converted tight end brings tantalizing length and speed to the DT spot. He’s a bit of a project but seems to be the type of player Belichick succeeds in turning into a productive NFL starter.
47 - 2 Commanders Jartavius Martin, FS, Illinois, 5110, 194, 4.46
Martin boasts the versatility to play all over the back end and is a dependable tackler, ranking fourth among college defensive backs in tackling efficiency (Pro Football Focus). Along with first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes, Washington seems intent on remaking its secondary into a unit as formidable as its defensive front.
48 - 2 Bucs Cody Mauch, OG, North Dakota State, 6050, 302, 5.08
Mauch dominated as a Division II offensive tackle, though Tampa will move him inside. So, while not as sexy a pick as a left tackle — not, that is, until you see him smile — this selection shows the Bucs know they need to strengthen an OL that drove Tom Brady into retirement.
49 - 2 Steelers Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin, 6036, 309, 5.08
This mauler showed himself adept at playing at various spots along the Badgers’ DL. Expect Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin, Pittsburgh’s first-year defensive coordinator, to make full use of Benton’s ferocity and versatility.
50 - 2 Packers Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State, 5107, 191, 4.45
We had a number of receivers rated ahead of him — Josh Downs anyone? — though Reed did flash big-play capability while at East Lansing. The Packers, as do some, likely envision Reed as a slot receiver who can double as an effective returner.
51 - 2 Dolphins *Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina, 6006, 180, 4.43
A good-size corner with excellent vision, Smith could thrive in off and zone coverages, where he demonstrates a consistent ability to close quickly. Also showcases impressive ball skills. His average speed and stiff hips and footwork will make it difficult for him to play press coverage consistently.
52 - 2 Seahawks Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA, 6003, 222, 4.53
With needs elsewhere and last year’s rookie RB Kenneth Walker on the rise, Seattle drew some heat for this pick, but they like Charbonnet’s physical running style and receiving ability. Expect him to make an immediate impact coming out of the backfield on third down.
53 - 2 Bears *Gervon Dexter, DT, Florida, 6055, 318, 4.88
The massive Dexter presently, lacks the get-off and hand skills to be a consistent pass-rushing force but, as a 3-technique, should help out as a disruptive run defender.
54 - 2 Chargers *Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, Southern California, 6030, 266, 4.86
Though he doesn’t sport the long arms you’d like to see in an edge rusher, the former USC standout is athletic, relentless, and productive—a terrific complement to Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
55 - 2 Chiefs Rashee Rice, WR, Southern Methodist, 6005, 204, 4.51
His average speed and a limited route tree at SMU had some draft experts questioning the fit in an Andy Reid offense. But Rice possesses the YAC and ball skills to emerge as one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets.
56 - 2 Bears Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami, 6003, 198, 4.45
Stevenson’s tape shows an athletic corner who struggled with consistency as both a run and pass defender. He needs coaching up to maximize his impressive physical gifts.
57 - 2 Giants John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota, 6034, 301, 5.35
The well-regarded Schmitz is light on his feet and skilled enough to both neutralize D-lineman and get to the next level of the defense. Expect him to step in right away and anchor the interior of the Giants’ OL for several years.
58 - 2 Cowboys Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan, 6052, 251, 4.63
With Dalton Schultz gone, the Cowboys needed a TE to give Dak Prescott a middle-of-the-field option. Not only does Schoonmaker offer a capable downfield threat, he is a reliable blocker who’ll help Tony Pollard turn the corner.
59 - 2 Bills O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida, 6053, 330, 5.31
At the very least, the Bills need the imposing Torrence to be an immediate road-grader in the run game—and eventually develop into a stout pass-blocker to protect Josh Allen. Buffalo satisfies a need while getting great value at the pick.
60 - 2 Bengals *DJ Turner, CB, Michigan, 5112, 178, 4.26
The newest addition to the new-look Bengals’ secondary, Turner merges wicked speed, (4.26 at Indy) and a combative attitude to play bigger than his listed size.
61 - 2 Jaguars *Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State, 6037, 253, 4.70
His low production at Penn State belies Strange’s noticeable physical gifts, especially his ability to power through tacklers after the catch. Trevor Lawrence will continue to ascend having Strange and incumbent TE Evan Engram working the middle of the field.
62 - 2 Texans Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State, 6032, 305, 5.22
What had been to this point a terrific draft for Houston may have hit a speed bump with this reach of a pick. Scruggs has the smarts to play center in the NFL but he’s an average athlete who has struggled with injuries.
63 - 2 Broncos *Marvin Mims Jr., WR, Oklahoma, 5107, 183, 4.38
With a corps that already has Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, Denver needs receivers like John Elway needs bigger teeth. However, Mims’ speed and receiving skills can’t be disputed. The pick feels like Sean Peyton announcing to the NFL just how wide open of an offense he intends to run.
64 - 3 Bears Zacch Pickens, DT, South Carolina, 6037, 298, 4.89
Adding Pickens to the Dexter selection earlier in the round shows the Bears are focused on upgrading a weakness in their D. Pickens plays like a madman, is a fluid athlete, but will need coaching and reps to upgrade into a quality NFL starter.
65 - 3 Eagles Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama, 6060, 321, 5.26
The ex-Tide tackle is versatile enough to play both tackle and guard in the NFL, and the Eagles likely will move him inside. With Andre Dillard gone and Lane Johnson getting older, this makes sense as a project pick.
66 - 3 Eagles Sydney Brown, SS, Illinois, 5096, 211, 4.47
Brown is an experienced, physical in-the-box safety, with excellent ball skills, as his six INTs in 2022 attest. He’s not a terribly reliable tackler but should still get a chance to compete for a starting job following the departure of C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
67 - 3 Broncos *Drew Sanders, OLB, Arkansas, 6043, 235, 4.66
Resisting the temptation to draft another wideout, the Broncos go for the first-team All-American Sanders, who runs well and has a nose for the ball. He and LB Josey Jewell will make a good tandem in the middle of the Denver defense.
68 - 3 Lions Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee, 6032, 217, 4.62
Hooker went much later than he should have but the lining in that uncomfortable wait is colored Lions’ silver. Hooker has everything you want in a QB—size, arm strength, leadership and other intangibles. So what if has to sit a year to fully recover from his November 2022 knee injury.
69 - 3 Texans Nathaniel Dell, WR, Houston, 5083, 165, 4.49
The Houston front office is laying waste to the myth that everything is bigger in Texas—together, Bryce Young and Dell barely add up to one Cyrus O’Torrence. But the homegrown Dell does have speed and quickness aplenty and should be a hellish receiver to cover coming out of the slot.
70 - 3 Raiders Byron Young, DT, Alabama, 6033, 294, 5.03
An experienced 2-gap player and stout run-stuffer who will bring toughness and leadership to Raiders defensive front.
71 - 3 Saints *Kendre Miller, RB, Texas Christian, 5111, 215, 4.42
Not all that elusive but a tough inside runner who went higher than we thought he’d go. Look for him to complement Alvin Kamara.
72 - 3 Cardinals *Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse, 5103, 192, 4.42
A bit on the small side and injured, Williams is still athletic and instinctive enough to carve out a solid NFL career.
73 - 3 Giants *Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee, 6001, 184, 4.40
Skilled wideout whose speed and acceleration will help take the top off defenses for QB Daniel Jones.
74 - 3 Browns Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee, 6033, 213, 4.54
Tougher-than-hell receiver who doesn’t have blazing speed but will bail out his QB making contested catches. Could be a productive red zone threat.
75 - 3 Falcons Zach Harrison, DE, Ohio State, 6054, 269, 4.72
A good selection at this spot. Harrison may never develop into an elite edge performer, but we expect him to be a fixture in the Atlanta defense for years to come.
76 - 3 Patriots Marte Mapu, OLB, Sacramento State, 6030, 221, 4.67
Belichick caught us off guard with this selection. A tou
77 - 3 Rams Byron Young, OLB, Tennessee, 6023, 250, 4.40
The widespread post-draft opinion is that Young is too old (25) and went a round or two early. But he’s a physical and quick defender who still seems poised for a promising NFL career.
78 - 3 Packers *Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State, 6046, 254, 4.69
The Packers are stacking TEs, joining Kraft with second-round pick Musgrave. Has the frame and body control to develop into a very capable receiving threat at the next level.
79 - 3 Colts *Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina, 5086, 171, 4.48
Shifty and fast, Downs is also a competitor who plays bigger than his 171 pounds. Those traits give him a chance to be a top-notch NFL slot receiver.
80 - 3 Panthers DJ Johnson, DE, Oregon, 6040, 260, 4.49
A stunning athlete who played all over the Ducks’ defense. Could develop into something special if Carolina can find a specific position for him and keep him there.
81 - 3 Titans *Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane, 5095, 201, 4.54
Spears could be a steal here. Showcases balance and speed, and promises to be an excellent complement to the powerful Derrick Henry.
82 - 3 Bucs YaYa Diaby, DE, Louisville, 6033, 263, 4.51
A late-bloomer at Louisville, Diaby could mature into a force coming off the edge. Struggles a bit diagnosing plays, but Tampa still has reason to be excited about his potential.
83 - 3 Broncos Riley Moss, CB, Iowa, 6005, 193, 4.45
Fast, big and experienced, Moss can play corner and safety, and that’s where his value lies.
84 - 3 Dolphins *Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M, 5084, 188, 4.32
A blazing offense just got faster with the addition of Achane. We see him as a key component in Miami’s RB-by-committee approach.
85 - 3 Chargers Daiyan Henley, ILB, Washington State, 6007, 225, 4.54
86 - 3 Ravens *Trenton Simpson, OLB, Clemson, 6023, 235, 4.43
87 - 3 49ers JiAyir Brown, SS, Penn State, 5113, 203, 4.65
88 - 3 Jaguars *Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn, 5115, 215, 4.56
89 - 3 Rams Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest, 6024, 293, 5.09
90 - 3 Cowboys DeMarvion Overshown, OLB, Texas, 6025, 229, 4.56
91 - 3 Bills Dorian Williams, OLB, Tulane, 6010, 228, 4.49
92 - 3 Chiefs Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma, 6053, 307, 5.10
93 - 3 Steelers *Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia, 6065, 272, 4.64
94 - 3 Cardinals Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford, 6017, 213, 4.58
95 - 3 Bengals Jordan Battle, SS, Alabama, 6010, 209, 4.55
96 - 3 Lions Brodric Martin, DT, Western Kentucky, 6046, 330, 5.36
97 - 3 Commanders Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas, 6032, 306, 5.26
98 - 3 Browns Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor, 6027, 347, 5.39
99 - 3 49ers Jake Moody, K, Michigan, 6005, 209, 5.08
100 - 3 Raiders Tre Tucker, WR, Cincinnati, 5085, 182, 4.40
101 - 3 49ers Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama, 6043, 242, 4.78
102 - 3 Vikings Mekhi Blackmon, CB, Southern California, 5110, 178, 4.47
103 - 4 Saints Nick Saldiveri, OT, Old Dominion, 6062, 318, 5.21
104 - 4 Raiders Jakorian Bennett, CB, Maryland, 5105, 194, 4.30
105 - 4 Eagles *Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia, 6016, 207, 4.36
106 - 4 Colts Blake Freeland, OT, Brigham Young, 6077, 302, 4.98
107 - 4 Patriots Jake Andrews, C, Troy, 6026, 305, 5.15
108 - 4 Seahawks *Anthony Bradford, OG, LSU, 6040, 332, 5.08
109 - 4 Texans Dylan Horton, DE, Texas Christian, 6040, 262, 4.74
110 - 4 Colts Adetomiwa Adebawore, DE, Northwestern, 6015, 282, 4.49
111 - 4 Browns Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State, 6082, 374, 5.35
112 - 4 Patriots Chad Ryland, K, Maryland, 5116, 190, 4.83
113 - 4 Falcons *Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah, 5090, 184, 4.51
114 - 4 Panthers Chandler Zavala, OG, North Carolina State, 6034, 316, 5.23
115 - 4 Bears Roschon Johnson, RB, Texas, 6003, 225, 4.58
116 - 4 Packers *Colby Wooden, DE, Auburn, 6040, 278, 4.79
117 - 4 Patriots Sidy Sow, OG, Eastern Michigan, 6046, 323, 5.07
118 - 4 Commanders Braeden Daniels, OG, Utah, 6035, 307, 4.99
119 - 4 Chiefs Chamarri Conner, FS, Virginia Tech, 6000, 209, 4.51
120 - 4 Jets Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh, 6054, 311, 5.24
121 - 4 Jaguars Ventrell Miller, ILB, Florida, 5117, 232, 4.68
122 - 4 Cardinals Jon Gaines II, OG, UCLA, 6040, 303, 5.01
123 - 4 Seahawks Cameron Young, DT, Mississippi State, 6033, 304, 5.10
124 - 4 Ravens Tavius Robinson, DE, Mississippi, 6061, 257, 4.66
125 - 4 Chargers Derius Davis, WR, Texas Christian, 5083, 165, 4.36
126 - 4 Browns Isaiah McGuire, DE, Missouri, 6043, 268, 4.76
127 - 4 Saints Jake Haener, QB, Fresno State, 5115, 207, 4.72
128 - 4 Rams Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia, 5113, 192, 4.67
129 - 4 Cowboys Viliami Fehoko, DE, San Jose State, 6036, 282, 4.77

259 -7 Rams Desjuan Johnson, DT, Toledo, 6021, 314, 5.04
1 - 1 Panthers *Bryce Young, QB, Alabama, 5101, 204, 4.58
As predicted by most. Now the undersized magician must show he can pull the rabbit out of the hat against NFL defenses intent on squishing him like a bug.
2 - 1 Texans *C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State, 6030, 214, 4.74
Texans could have traded to acquire more picks for their anemic roster, but opted for Stroud, our top-rated quarterback, and then. . .
3 - 1 Texans *Will Anderson Jr., DE, Alabama, 6034, 253, 4.60
Great trade up top get Anderson, who was the top edge player on most lists. Now he will be asked to be more productive in the NFL than he was in college.
4 - 1 Colts *Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida, 6042, 244, 4.43
Swinging for the fences, the Colts grabbed a phenomenal athlete who now must show he can become a good quarterback. Big leap to NFL after only 13 college games.
5 - 1 Seahawks Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois, 5114, 181, 4.45
Big payoff for a guy who was a no-star prep recruit and then showed aggressiveness that frustrated receivers—but drew penalty flags.
6 - 1 Cardinals *Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State, 6063, 313, 5.12
Looked good in 13 games at left tackle last year and might help keep Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray upright and healthy.
7 - 1 Raiders Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech, 6055, 271, 4.76
With wingspan of a two-car garage, Wilson should team with Maxx Crosby to bedevil the AFC West's list of dangerous quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and, looking for a bounce-back year, Russell Wilson.
8 - 1 Falcons *Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas, 5110, 215, 4.46
His tremendous talent as a rusher, receiver will change the outdated theory that running backs should be devalued. He can control games. Early candidate for Offensive Rookie of Year.
9 - 1 Eagles *Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia, 6030, 323, 4.83
The rich get richer with Carter, possibly the best athlete in the draft at any position. Eagles must keep him focused on football after a problematic off-season off the field.
10 - 1 Bears Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee, 6053, 333, 5.01
Mean-spirited offensive lineman who played all over the front in college but looked better at right tackle and right guard more than at the prized left tackle position.
11 - 1 Titans *Peter Skoronski, OG, Northwestern, 6040, 313, 5.16
This athletic beast started in 33 straight games at left tackle, but with short arms (32 1/4 inches) looks like a plug-and-play at NFL guard.
12 - 1 Lions *Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama, 5091, 199, 4.36
Two RBs in top 12 may indicate NFL realizes some have major value. Gibbs can score from anywhere with a 40-yard time of 4.36 seconds.
13 - 1 Packers *Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa, 6050, 272, 4.58
Next game he starts will be first since high school as he came off bench in all 27 college games, but devoured blockers in an animalistic manner.
14 - 1 Steelers *Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia, 6053, 313, 4.97
Another star at left tackle in college, but could be a menace at guard immediately.
15 - 1 Jets Will McDonald IV, DE, Iowa State, 6035, 239, 4.70
Surprisingly high pick of a guy who didn’t even watch football until junior year of high school, but had 34 college sacks. Still learning to harness his athleticism.
16 - 1 Commanders *Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State, 6006, 170, 4.35
In a cornerback-heavy draft, Forbes was my personal favorite. A skinny terror (166-170 pounds) with larceny in his heart: FBS record six pick-sixes in three seasons, eight in four years (counting high school).
17 - 1 Patriots *Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon, 6013, 197, 4.38
Can start as a rookie in a division full of great quarterbacks.
18 - 1 Lions Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa, 6045, 249, 4.65
Coach Dan Campbell got another "knee biter" with this athletic thumper who was expected to be a mid-second round pick.
19 - 1 Bucs *Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh, 6010, 281, 4.67
He dislikes the comparison, but Kancey looks like the second coming of Aaron Donald in terms of size and athleticism, including blink-quick first step and 40-yard time of 4.67 seconds at 281 pounds.
20 - 1 Seahawks *Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State, 6005, 196, 4.52
Interesting addition to a team with excellent wide receivers. Was rated best of so-so receiver class. Probably a slot player.
21 - 1 Chargers *Quentin Johnston, WR, Texas Christian, 6026, 212, 4.52
Another addition to a talented wide receiver room, meaning another target for quarterback Justin Herbert on those fourth-down gambles.
22 - 1 Ravens Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College, 5092, 182, 4.42
Curiously, Flowers made late climb in ratings on many lists the last couple of weeks, after we locked him at No. 51. Compared to feisty Steve Smith Sr., one of our all-time favorites.
23 - 1 Vikings *Jordan Addison, WR, Southern California, 5111, 173, 4.49
Biletnikoff winner at Pitt in 2021 who transferred to USC last season and wasn’t on his game the entire year. Nifty, but small.
24 - 1 Giants *Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland, 6001, 203, 4.35
Maybe the only corner to have a good game against OSU's Marvin Harrison Jr. With great attitude and 40-yard time of 4.35 seconds, Banks is one of several CBs who will start as rookie.
25 - 1 Bills Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah, 6035, 246, 4.63
Look out AFC East. The pick of Kincaid gives quarterback Josh Allen yet another target. Kincaid's receiving yards and 35 touchdowns were career bests among active tight ends last season.
26 - 1 Cowboys *Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan, 6030, 323, 4.96
Upon further review, we underrated Smith at 52 overall. Two-year starter is on the ascent and can create havoc all long tine interior defensive line.
27 - 1 Jaguars *Anton Harrison, OG, Oklahoma, 6043, 315, 4.98
Not sure where he will play after lining up in college at RT 27 times, LT 13 and RG twice. Regardless, he will help quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne.
28 - 1 Bengals *Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson, 6046, 268, 4.53
Should fit best as base end. Power rusher who will need to add finesse and should start as a rookie.
29 - 1 Saints *Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson, 6054, 302, 4.86
Outstanding talent, but last season Bresee battled through injuries and the emotional trauma of losing his younger sister to brain cancer.
30 - 1 Eagles Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia, 6022, 238, 4.39
With DT Jalen Carter (No. 8 overall), the Eagles snagged two of the best athletes in the first round. Smith ran 40 yards in 4.39 seconds at Indy Combine and will be a major menace to opposing QBs. Hard to believe he lasted this long.
31 - 1 Chiefs *Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State, 6031, 255, 4.73
This was our lowest ranked player (76) taken in first round (31) and we were wrong. Powerful lower body, huge wingspan and strong hands. Should play plenty as rookie along the interior DL.
32 - 2 Steelers *Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State, 6024, 198, 4.46
The son of the former Steeler great, Porter Jr. is an aggressive cover man who will need to cut down on his penalties to be a top-quality NFL corner.
33 - 2 Titans Will Levis, QB, Kentucky, 6037, 229, 4.70
Levis fell further than expected, likely because of concerns about his mechanics and ‘22 game tape. Still, the physical gifts the strong-armed, charismatic Levis brings to the table are undeniable, and Tennessee seems like a favorable landing spot.
34 - 2 Lions Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa, 6032, 245, 4.59
Going earlier than we expected, LaPorta makes sense for a Lions team looking to fill the hole created last season by the trade of T.J. Hockenson. Needs to improve his blocking but has the potential to be a solid receiving option in the pros.
35 - 2 Raiders *Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame, 6044, 249, 4.70
Mayer has the size, strength, smarts and intensity to succeed at the next level. His basketball background and sure hands should make him a reliable third-down receiver.
36 - 2 Rams Steve Avila, OG, Texas Christian, 6034, 332, 5.21
Avila will be asked to help stabilize an interior offensive line that put QB Matthew Stafford’s welfare in jeopardy in 2022. The powerful Avila should be a plug-and-play guard with the versatility to play center if called upon.
37 - 2 Seahawks Derick Hall, OLB, Auburn, 6026, 254, 4.55
Long, athletic pass rusher with a broad wingspan and an engine that stays in the red. Seahawks see this four-year starter and Auburn team captain as another key piece towards restoring their Legion of Boom glory.
38 - 2 Falcons Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse, 6052, 318, 5.28
They say the best ability is availability and Bergeron’s 39 starts at Syracuse bodes well for a lengthy NFL career. Shorter arms explain why the Falcons plan to switch him from tackle to guard, but his strengths as a run-blocker should make the transition a smooth one.
39 - 2 Panthers Jonathan Mingo, WR, Mississippi, 6016, 220, 4.46
His mechanics and route-running need coaching up, but Mingo’s impressive combination of size and speed had him shooting up draft boards.
40 - 2 Saints *Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame, 6051, 264, 4.58
The Saints look for Foskey and first-round pick Bryan Bresee to anchor their defensive front for years to come. What he presently lacks in pass-rushing skill, Foskey makes up for in high-energy pursuit, with some believing his best days as a player are ahead of him.
41 - 2 Cardinals *BJ Ojulari, OLB, LSU, 6023, 248, 4.59
The grandson of a Nigerian prince, Ojulari blends the versatility, explosiveness, and flexibility off the edge to be pass-rushing royalty some day. Another prospect who gathered more and more positive attention as the draft approached.
42 - 2 Packers Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State, 6057, 251, 4.61
We had this long-striding, deceptively fast TE as a first-round talent, but injuries likely caused his stock to drop for some teams. If Musgrave stays healthy, Packer QB Jordan Love will have a new best friend.
43 - 2 Jets *Joe Tippmann, C, Wisconsin, 6060, 313, 4.97
The next QB to touch Tippmann’s backside and to blast him for failing to adjust a protection will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. (No pressure kid.) Tippmann seems to have the smarts and experience to handle whatever Rodgers and new OC, Nathaniel Hackett, throw at him.
44 - 2 Colts Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State, 6026, 198, 4.53
The Colts think more highly of Brents than we currently do, but his size, athleticism, and ball skills give him a chance of being a forceful NFL corner. Brents could see a lot of yellow at the next level if he doesn’t improve his footwork and discipline his aggressiveness.
45 - 2 Lions *Brian Branch, FS, Alabama, 5115, 190, 4.58
If a Branch falls in the draft and no one is around…does it make a sound? This savvy safety dropped further than most expected, despite the fact that he has the athleticism and physicality to cover tight ends, wideouts, and slot receivers.
46 - 2 Patriots Keion White, DT, Georgia Tech, 6047, 281, 4.79
Though a bit older of a prospect, this 24-year-old converted tight end brings tantalizing length and speed to the DT spot. He’s a bit of a project but seems to be the type of player Belichick succeeds in turning into a productive NFL starter.
47 - 2 Commanders Jartavius Martin, FS, Illinois, 5110, 194, 4.46
Martin boasts the versatility to play all over the back end and is a dependable tackler, ranking fourth among college defensive backs in tackling efficiency (Pro Football Focus). Along with first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes, Washington seems intent on remaking its secondary into a unit as formidable as its defensive front.
48 - 2 Bucs Cody Mauch, OG, North Dakota State, 6050, 302, 5.08
Mauch dominated as a Division II offensive tackle, though Tampa will move him inside. So, while not as sexy a pick as a left tackle — not, that is, until you see him smile — this selection shows the Bucs know they need to strengthen an OL that drove Tom Brady into retirement.
49 - 2 Steelers Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin, 6036, 309, 5.08
This mauler showed himself adept at playing at various spots along the Badgers’ DL. Expect Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin, Pittsburgh’s first-year defensive coordinator, to make full use of Benton’s ferocity and versatility.
50 - 2 Packers Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State, 5107, 191, 4.45
We had a number of receivers rated ahead of him — Josh Downs anyone? — though Reed did flash big-play capability while at East Lansing. The Packers, as do some, likely envision Reed as a slot receiver who can double as an effective returner.
51 - 2 Dolphins *Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina, 6006, 180, 4.43
A good-size corner with excellent vision, Smith could thrive in off and zone coverages, where he demonstrates a consistent ability to close quickly. Also showcases impressive ball skills. His average speed and stiff hips and footwork will make it difficult for him to play press coverage consistently.
52 - 2 Seahawks Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA, 6003, 222, 4.53
With needs elsewhere and last year’s rookie RB Kenneth Walker on the rise, Seattle drew some heat for this pick, but they like Charbonnet’s physical running style and receiving ability. Expect him to make an immediate impact coming out of the backfield on third down.
53 - 2 Bears *Gervon Dexter, DT, Florida, 6055, 318, 4.88
The massive Dexter presently, lacks the get-off and hand skills to be a consistent pass-rushing force but, as a 3-technique, should help out as a disruptive run defender.
54 - 2 Chargers *Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, Southern California, 6030, 266, 4.86
Though he doesn’t sport the long arms you’d like to see in an edge rusher, the former USC standout is athletic, relentless, and productive—a terrific complement to Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
55 - 2 Chiefs Rashee Rice, WR, Southern Methodist, 6005, 204, 4.51
His average speed and a limited route tree at SMU had some draft experts questioning the fit in an Andy Reid offense. But Rice possesses the YAC and ball skills to emerge as one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets.
56 - 2 Bears Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami, 6003, 198, 4.45
Stevenson’s tape shows an athletic corner who struggled with consistency as both a run and pass defender. He needs coaching up to maximize his impressive physical gifts.
57 - 2 Giants John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota, 6034, 301, 5.35
The well-regarded Schmitz is light on his feet and skilled enough to both neutralize D-lineman and get to the next level of the defense. Expect him to step in right away and anchor the interior of the Giants’ OL for several years.
58 - 2 Cowboys Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan, 6052, 251, 4.63
With Dalton Schultz gone, the Cowboys needed a TE to give Dak Prescott a middle-of-the-field option. Not only does Schoonmaker offer a capable downfield threat, he is a reliable blocker who’ll help Tony Pollard turn the corner.
59 - 2 Bills O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida, 6053, 330, 5.31
At the very least, the Bills need the imposing Torrence to be an immediate road-grader in the run game—and eventually develop into a stout pass-blocker to protect Josh Allen. Buffalo satisfies a need while getting great value at the pick.
60 - 2 Bengals *DJ Turner, CB, Michigan, 5112, 178, 4.26
The newest addition to the new-look Bengals’ secondary, Turner merges wicked speed, (4.26 at Indy) and a combative attitude to play bigger than his listed size.
61 - 2 Jaguars *Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State, 6037, 253, 4.70
His low production at Penn State belies Strange’s noticeable physical gifts, especially his ability to power through tacklers after the catch. Trevor Lawrence will continue to ascend having Strange and incumbent TE Evan Engram working the middle of the field.
62 - 2 Texans Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State, 6032, 305, 5.22
What had been to this point a terrific draft for Houston may have hit a speed bump with this reach of a pick. Scruggs has the smarts to play center in the NFL but he’s an average athlete who has struggled with injuries.
63 - 2 Broncos *Marvin Mims Jr., WR, Oklahoma, 5107, 183, 4.38
With a corps that already has Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, Denver needs receivers like John Elway needs bigger teeth. However, Mims’ speed and receiving skills can’t be disputed. The pick feels like Sean Peyton announcing to the NFL just how wide open of an offense he intends to run.
64 - 3 Bears Zacch Pickens, DT, South Carolina, 6037, 298, 4.89
Adding Pickens to the Dexter selection earlier in the round shows the Bears are focused on upgrading a weakness in their D. Pickens plays like a madman, is a fluid athlete, but will need coaching and reps to upgrade into a quality NFL starter.
65 - 3 Eagles Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama, 6060, 321, 5.26
The ex-Tide tackle is versatile enough to play both tackle and guard in the NFL, and the Eagles likely will move him inside. With Andre Dillard gone and Lane Johnson getting older, this makes sense as a project pick.
66 - 3 Eagles Sydney Brown, SS, Illinois, 5096, 211, 4.47
Brown is an experienced, physical in-the-box safety, with excellent ball skills, as his six INTs in 2022 attest. He’s not a terribly reliable tackler but should still get a chance to compete for a starting job following the departure of C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
67 - 3 Broncos *Drew Sanders, OLB, Arkansas, 6043, 235, 4.66
Resisting the temptation to draft another wideout, the Broncos go for the first-team All-American Sanders, who runs well and has a nose for the ball. He and LB Josey Jewell will make a good tandem in the middle of the Denver defense.
68 - 3 Lions Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee, 6032, 217, 4.62
Hooker went much later than he should have but the lining in that uncomfortable wait is colored Lions’ silver. Hooker has everything you want in a QB—size, arm strength, leadership and other intangibles. So what if has to sit a year to fully recover from his November 2022 knee injury.
69 - 3 Texans Nathaniel Dell, WR, Houston, 5083, 165, 4.49
The Houston front office is laying waste to the myth that everything is bigger in Texas—together, Bryce Young and Dell barely add up to one Cyrus O’Torrence. But the homegrown Dell does have speed and quickness aplenty and should be a hellish receiver to cover coming out of the slot.
70 - 3 Raiders Byron Young, DT, Alabama, 6033, 294, 5.03
An experienced 2-gap player and stout run-stuffer who will bring toughness and leadership to Raiders defensive front.
71 - 3 Saints *Kendre Miller, RB, Texas Christian, 5111, 215, 4.42
Not all that elusive but a tough inside runner who went higher than we thought he’d go. Look for him to complement Alvin Kamara.
72 - 3 Cardinals *Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse, 5103, 192, 4.42
A bit on the small side and injured, Williams is still athletic and instinctive enough to carve out a solid NFL career.
73 - 3 Giants *Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee, 6001, 184, 4.40
Skilled wideout whose speed and acceleration will help take the top off defenses for QB Daniel Jones.
74 - 3 Browns Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee, 6033, 213, 4.54
Tougher-than-hell receiver who doesn’t have blazing speed but will bail out his QB making contested catches. Could be a productive red zone threat.
75 - 3 Falcons Zach Harrison, DE, Ohio State, 6054, 269, 4.72
A good selection at this spot. Harrison may never develop into an elite edge performer, but we expect him to be a fixture in the Atlanta defense for years to come.
76 - 3 Patriots Marte Mapu, OLB, Sacramento State, 6030, 221, 4.67
Belichick caught us off guard with this selection. A tou
77 - 3 Rams Byron Young, OLB, Tennessee, 6023, 250, 4.40
The widespread post-draft opinion is that Young is too old (25) and went a round or two early. But he’s a physical and quick defender who still seems poised for a promising NFL career.
78 - 3 Packers *Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State, 6046, 254, 4.69
The Packers are stacking TEs, joining Kraft with second-round pick Musgrave. Has the frame and body control to develop into a very capable receiving threat at the next level.
79 - 3 Colts *Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina, 5086, 171, 4.48
Shifty and fast, Downs is also a competitor who plays bigger than his 171 pounds. Those traits give him a chance to be a top-notch NFL slot receiver.
80 - 3 Panthers DJ Johnson, DE, Oregon, 6040, 260, 4.49
A stunning athlete who played all over the Ducks’ defense. Could develop into something special if Carolina can find a specific position for him and keep him there.
81 - 3 Titans *Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane, 5095, 201, 4.54
Spears could be a steal here. Showcases balance and speed, and promises to be an excellent complement to the powerful Derrick Henry.
82 - 3 Bucs YaYa Diaby, DE, Louisville, 6033, 263, 4.51
A late-bloomer at Louisville, Diaby could mature into a force coming off the edge. Struggles a bit diagnosing plays, but Tampa still has reason to be excited about his potential.
83 - 3 Broncos Riley Moss, CB, Iowa, 6005, 193, 4.45
Fast, big and experienced, Moss can play corner and safety, and that’s where his value lies.
84 - 3 Dolphins *Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M, 5084, 188, 4.32
A blazing offense just got faster with the addition of Achane. We see him as a key component in Miami’s RB-by-committee approach.
85 - 3 Chargers Daiyan Henley, ILB, Washington State, 6007, 225, 4.54
86 - 3 Ravens *Trenton Simpson, OLB, Clemson, 6023, 235, 4.43
87 - 3 49ers JiAyir Brown, SS, Penn State, 5113, 203, 4.65
88 - 3 Jaguars *Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn, 5115, 215, 4.56
89 - 3 Rams Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest, 6024, 293, 5.09
90 - 3 Cowboys DeMarvion Overshown, OLB, Texas, 6025, 229, 4.56
91 - 3 Bills Dorian Williams, OLB, Tulane, 6010, 228, 4.49
92 - 3 Chiefs Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma, 6053, 307, 5.10
93 - 3 Steelers *Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia, 6065, 272, 4.64
94 - 3 Cardinals Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford, 6017, 213, 4.58
95 - 3 Bengals Jordan Battle, SS, Alabama, 6010, 209, 4.55
96 - 3 Lions Brodric Martin, DT, Western Kentucky, 6046, 330, 5.36
97 - 3 Commanders Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas, 6032, 306, 5.26
98 - 3 Browns Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor, 6027, 347, 5.39

104 - 4 Raiders Jakorian Bennett, CB, Maryland, 5105, 194, 4.30

107 - 4 Patriots Jake Andrews, C, Troy, 6026, 305, 5.15
