Yeah, there\u2019s really no NFL offseason. The moves teams make over the next few months in their coaching searches, in free agency and rookie acquisition will impact everything that happens until Super Bowl LVIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while the legal tampering period and the start of free agency is the first event on our calendar, the biggest party of the year happens a little over a month later when the National Football League holds its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/draft\/\">Annual Amateur Player Selection Meeting<\/a> or, as we like to call it, the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through an act of synchronicity, the Draft will be held in Kansas City, Mo., the hometown of the current Super Bowl LVII Champion Kansas City Chiefs. They will, obviously, not pick until very late in the round barring a trade and are just as likely to swap themselves out of the first round completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have just 31 Day One picks this year as the Miami Dolphins were docked a 2023 first rounder after they were found guilty of tampering last offseason. In all, five teams (the Dolphins, the Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers) don\u2019t have a first round pick this year and four franchises (the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles) have two first round selections. For now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve perused my mock drafts before, you know that I never factor in trades in the 1.0 offering. They\u2019re way too difficult to predict and none of us have any inside information on what\u2019s being discussed as we had up to draft day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do I think the Chicago Bears make the No. 1 overall selection come April? I\u2019d go with a 70 percent chance they won\u2019t, but here they are, atop my first mock draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. CHICAGO BEARS \u2013 Will Anderson, Edge, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-4, 235 pounds, 51 tackles, 17 for a loss, 10 sacks, one interception<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/nfl-draft\/2023-nfl-draft-props\"><strong>Odds to go No. 1 overall:<\/strong> +850<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be first defensive player selected:<\/strong> +140<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bears will be looking to move down (but not far) from this pick after some teams fall head over heels in love with either CJ Stroud or Bryce Young after the NFL Combine. Of course, as you read in the preamble, I don\u2019t do trades in this first mock draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen some drafts that have Chicago taking Jalen Carter, but unless Carter is the next Aaron Donald, and I\u2019m guessing he\u2019s not, I\u2019d go with the best edge rusher. Last year Anderson had 31 tackles for a loss and 17.5 sacks, mostly against legit SEC opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also don\u2019t buy any of this \u201cmoving on from Justin Fields\u201d nonsense after the year the kid had in 2022. Ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. HOUSTON TEXANS \u2013 CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-3, 215 pounds, 66.3 completion percentage, 3,688 yards, 41 touchdowns, six interceptions, 108 rushing yards<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to go No. 1 overall:<\/strong> +360<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be first QB selected:<\/strong> +300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering who I think the top QB is in this draft class, the mystery is now solved. The Texans must take a quarterback here (or by jumping up a spot to No. 1). I like Stroud and Young both and each guy should pass his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/combine\/\">President\u2019s Physical Fitness test in Indianapolis<\/a> with flying colors. I just think Stroud has more potential and, will turn out to be more durable than Young at the NFL level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. ARIZONA CARDINALS &#8211; Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-4, 315 pounds, PFF pass blocking grade: 93, run blocking grade 89.3<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see plenty of draft projects plop a defensive player here in Jonathan Gannon\u2019s first year at the helm, but I don\u2019t buy it. They need to improve their offensive line to keep Kyler Murray on the field and off his surface tablet. If they don\u2019t go offensive line, they could go wide receiver. Rumors are that DeAndre Hopkins is on the trade block and AJ Green retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS \u2013 Bryce Young, QB, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-0, 194 pounds, 64.5 completion percentage, 3,328 yards, 32 touchdowns, five interceptions, 185 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to go No. 1 overall<\/strong>: -130<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first QB selected:<\/strong> -190<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colts have ridden the veteran QB train for too many years with not much to show for it. The only concern here is that some other team might jump them for Young (or Stroud if Young goes first). Indy might have to stay on the phone to put the fourth consecutive former Alabama starting quarterback into the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young reminds me so much of Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray that his health at the NFL level is a concern. But, if you\u2019re Indianapolis, you\u2019ve got to roll the dice on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (from the Denver Broncos) \u2013 Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-3, 310 pounds, 32 tackles, seven for a loss, three sacks, three passes defended, two forced fumble<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to go No. 1 overall:<\/strong> +600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first defensive player selected:<\/strong> -140<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A surprisingly plucky defense gets a boost in the middle as Carter \u201cfalls\u201d to the area of the first round he should actually go. The sack and backfield production were just not there for a top overall pick, but he could be a solid anchor in the middle of a Seattle \u201crebuilding\u201d line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. DETROIT LIONS (from the Los Angeles Rams) \u2013 Myles Murphy, DL, Clemson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-5, 275 pounds, 40 tackles, 11 for a loss, 6.5 sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first defensive player selected:<\/strong> +1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s rare that a blockbuster trade like the one that sent Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Jared Goff and multiple first round picks works out for everyone involved, but here we are. The Rams got their Super Bowl championship and the Lions got a Top 6 pick to go with their own selection at No. 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, I have Detroit adding another significant pass rush threat to go with Aiden Hutchinson in Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS \u2013 O\u2019Cyrus Torrence, OL, Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-5, 347, PFF Grade 88.0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it possible that the Raiders somehow don\u2019t sign Jimmy Garoppolo and reach for Will Levis, the most overrated QB in this draft, here? I mean, that is the Josh McDaniels playbook. I think cooler heads will prevail early on in free agency, Jimmy G moves to Sin City and Torrence helps protect him up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. ATLANTA FALCONS \u2013 Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-1, 187 pounds, 27 tackles, one for a loss, one interception, five passes defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta needs everything, but I have them go best player available and grab Smith to pair with 2020 first round selection AJ Terrell and help shore up the league\u2019s 25<sup>th<\/sup> ranked pass defense. They do need edge rush help too, so this could be a Tyree Wilson spot, but I can\u2019t see it taking that long to get the best corner in the draft off the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. CAROLINA PANTHERS \u2013 Will Levis, QB, Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-3, 222 pounds, 65.4 completion percentage, 2,406 yards, 19 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, two rushing touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to go No. 1 overall:<\/strong> +350<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first quarterback selected:<\/strong> +300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here he is, \u201cMr. Measurable.\u201d Levis can apparently exercise with the best of them, because all I keep seeing is how impressive he should be at the combine. Which is good, because he sure didn\u2019t do it on the field for Kentucky. I mean, 19 touchdown passes? Seriously? His career high was last season with 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draft punditry is a mystery to me. Still, I was wrong about Josh Allen, so I might be wrong here too. Levis looks like the bustiest draft bust that ever busted to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (from the New Orleans Saints) \u2013 Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-4, 249 pounds, 67 receptions, 809 yards, nine touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Dallas Goedert likely bailing in free agency, there\u2019s no reason not to grab his replacement with this gift of a Top 10 pick for the defending NFC Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. TENNESSEE TITANS \u2013 Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-4, 193 pounds, 60 receptions, 1,069 yards, six touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first wide receiver selected:<\/strong> +175<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Titans might be more involved in the offseason quarterback movement than people think. I have them taking the first wide receiver off the board (and that\u2019s late in a draft) to add some more punch to the No. 30 ranked offense in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. HOUSTON TEXANS (from the Cleveland Browns) \u2013 Tyree Wilson, Edge, Texas Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-6, 275 pounds, 61 tackles, 14 for a loss, seven sacks, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first defensive player selected<\/strong>: +500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston gets their new quarterback at No. 2 and selects their edge rusher at 12 with Wilson, giving new head coach DeMeco Ryans a new centerpiece to his defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. NEW YORK JETS \u2013 Brian Branch, Safety, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-0, 190 pounds, 90 tackles, 14 for a loss, three sacks, two interceptions, seven passes defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jets are unaccustomed to picking this late, so forgive them if they do something weird when handing the card in at the podium. After all, they\u2019re usually one of the first two or three in line. I go best player available here with Saleh adding a much needed safety to his defensive backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS \u2013 Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-2, 200 pounds, 50 tackles, one for a loss, four interceptions, seven passes defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our second straight defensive back comes off the board as Bill Belichick starts another defensive rebuild in New England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. GREEN BAY PACKERS \u2013 Jordan Addison, WR, USC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-0, 175 pounds, 59 catches, 875 yards, eight touchdowns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds to be the first wide receiver selected:<\/strong> +240<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The irony of the Packers taking a wide receiver in the first round after moving on from Aaron Rodgers when they absolutely refused to do that when Rodgers was in his prime is not lost on me. But it\u2019s their biggest need and if Jordan Love is going to get a legitimate shot, he needs weapons added around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS \u2013 Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-0, 170 pounds, 41 tackles, 2.5 for a loss, three interceptions, 14 passes defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to get a run on cornerbacks now, with the Commanders nabbing Witherspoon first and making every Pittsburgh Steelers fan weep with joy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17. PITTSBURGH STEELERS \u2013 Joey Porter, Jr., CB, Penn State<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-2, 195 pounds, 27 tackles, 11 passes defended, one fumble recovery<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;When they turn in the card for Joey Porter, Jr. Last year, the yinzers willed Kenny Pickett to happen and I\u2019m feeling the same energy here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18.

Kalee Ringo was meant to prowl NFL secondaries when the NFL scriptwriter came up with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS \u2013 Siaki Ika, DL, Baylor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-4, 350 pounds, 24 tackles, two for a loss, two passes defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll talk more about Anthony Richardson in a minute, because he could go here. But I don\u2019t see the point for Tampa reaching in the draft to take a Florida quarterback when they have a better Florida quarterback, Kyle Trask, already on their roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20.

Why? Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer are literally one of the best trios in the league. Are you cutting one? Trading one? I don\u2019t get it. I say their offensive line needs the upgrade and they take Johnson here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>22. BALTIMORE RAVENS &#8211; Antonio Johnson, Safety, Texas A&amp;M<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2022: 6-3, 200 pounds, 71 tackles, five for a loss, one sack, one pass defended<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ravens don\u2019t have an \u201cEd Reed\u201d type player on the roster, so why not try to add one? The wrinkle with this pick is, if they do \u201ctrade\u201d Lamar Jackson (and it\u2019s possible), they could look at Anthony Richardson here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>23.

I already called Levis the most overrated QB prospect in this draft, but talking about Richardson as a first rounder is just absolutely ridiculous. Yet, here we are.

I\u2019m not trying to be the best at exercising.\u201d<\/a> Richardson will exercise all over the place and sneak into the first round.

If they\u2019re not in love with someone, they might trade down to add some extra thirds\/fourths, but I hope they don\u2019t. For their defense to work, they need to upgrade their edge rushing and Foskey could be there when they Rams turn in their card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>47.
