the mock draft you've all been waiting for is here! once again, there are no trades, no predictions, and are all picked based off my own analysis and as if i am the gm of each team.

josh downs is one of the studs of the 2023 nfl draft. after crushing acc competition, downs will find success in the nfl, and the team that drafts him will have an elite slot receiver.

will levis is not a first round pick, and doesn't have the upside to get him drafted so high. for teams to find success with will levis, the draft will have to wait, as he is not going to meet the expectations of a first round quarterback.

kam curl was a key part to washington's success on defense, finishing as the nfl's fourth-best secondary with plenty more room to improve. he continues to improve, and has become one of the nfl's best safeties.

dtr, ucla's magic man, is headed to the nfl draft, and is one of my gems in the draft. with a low value, dtr brings a high ceiling that can help develop him into a franchise quarterback with the right coaching.

the houston texans, primed to grab a young quarterback like cj stroud or bryce young in the 2023 nfl draft, brought in robert woods to help their young face of the franchise, and that move will pay off well.

jaelan phillips' breakout sophomore season has left him in elite company. with new defensive coordinator vic fangio and a year of football ahead of him with the up and coming miami dolphins.

anthony richardson's draft stock is only beginning to climb, but he will be one of the best players from this class. he needs time to develop, but when he is ready, the nfl will have a generational talent on their hands.

ohio state's cj stroud is an elite prospect who is going to save a franchise next year. while it is easy to dismiss him as an ohio state quarterback, stroud's talent is undeniable, and people need to stop ranking him underneath other quarterbacks (will levis...)

alabama's bryce young has a chance to be the first pick in the entire nfl draft this season, potentially going to a horde of needy teams like the indianapolis colts, houston texans, or a surprise contender. but what makes him the best quarterback in this class?
