The Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl are in the rearview, so it looks like it’s time to drop the 1st and 2nd rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft. Last week in Mobile, Alabama, I personally saw several riders during a three-day practice session, and 15 riders are doing my two-round trial draft, shown below. (Wide Zai Flowerswho attended the Shrine Bowl was also in my top 63.)
Now, this is still a very early prediction. We have a Scouting Combine in a month, along with professional daytime training and team interviews yet to come for potential clients. A lot will change. The full draft order hasn’t even been set yet as we wait for Super Bowl LVII results between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles to determine the last two picks in each round. (The Sportzshala Football Power Index currently predicts that Philadelphia will win and be drafted last in the first round.) Remember that after the Miami Dolphins were stripped of their pick for rigging, there are only 31 first round picks, which means that there are only 63 choices in the first round. opening two rounds.
However, here are my predictions for how the first 63 picks in the draft could play out, including spots for five quarterbacks – and a trade that could make sense right at the top of the board! Let’s start.
