2023 NFL Seven-Round Mock Draft
2023 NFL Seven-Round Mock Draft

With the 2023 NFL draft right around the corner, there are a bunch of mock drafts flying around. Nobody truly knows how the draft will go. Do you think anybody expected the Chicago Bears to trade up and draft Mitch Trubisky? How about the 49ers and Trey Lance? There are always some picks that are head-scratchers, reaches, and trades that shock us all. However, it’s still nice to try and guess how it will all play out. Here is my official 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft.

How do you think your team did? Hit me up on Twitter and let me know.

2023 NFL Seven-Round Mock Draft

Round 1

The Panthers didn’t give up all that draft capital and D.J. Moore for nothing. They are on the clock and must make the nerve-racking choice of selecting their franchise quarterback. I still think that guy is C.J. Stroud. The top five picks have four quarterbacks and two edge-rushers. We will likely see a trade at some point in the first round, but this 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft is playing out as if no trades will be made.

The Raiders get a franchise that they hope can sit behind Jimmy G and become the new face of the franchise. The Eagles get a big-time player on both defense and offense. And three tight ends end up going in the first round, which goes to show how good this tight end class is.

#TeamPickPosCollege
1

Panthers
via CHI
C.J. StroudQBOhio State
There are a bunch of rumors going around on which quarterback the Panthers like. They could even still end up trading this pick to the Ravens for Lamar Jackson. However, I like them to take C.J. Stroud, who will elevate the team immediately.
2

Texans
Bryce YoungQBAlabama
With Stroud off the board the Texans still need a franchise quarterback. There is still a chance they shock us all and take Will Anderson, but I think they stick with upgrading the quarterback position. They could take the project guy, Anthony Richardson, but Bryce Young seems like the safer pick. He steps in as the immediate starter.
3

Cardinals
Will AndersonEDGEAlabama
The Cardinals get one of the best overall players in the draft in Will Anderson. He'll slot in immediately and help this defense pressure opposing quarterbacks.
4

Colts
Will LevisQBKentucky
Colts could go Richardson here, but I think they want a choice that they are more confident in. Will Levis has had an impressive combine and the Colts will hope to see him look more like his sophomore year than last year. He can come in and either learn behind Foles/Minshew, or compete for the starting job right now. Colts now have a franchise QB with a huge arm.
5

Seahawks
via DEN
Tyree WilsonEDGETexas Tech
The Seahawks decide to avoid Jalen Carter and the legal troubles, and take a 6-6 edge rusher who could develop into one of the best edge rushers in the league.
6

Lionsvia LAR
Jalen CarterDIGeorgia
The Lions take a chance on Carter, who would likely already be drafted if not for the legal troubles. The defensive line with Aiden Hutchinson and now Jalen Carter is one to be feared.
7

Raiders
Anthony RichardsonQBFlorida
The Raiders signed Jimmy G this offseason, which means there's no rush for Anthony Richardson. He can sit and learn and eventually take over as one of the best athletes at the quarterback position to hit the draft in years.
8

Falcons
Quentin JohnstonWRTCU
The Falcons show Desmond Ridder that he'll get more time to prove he's a franchise guy by selecting the TCU wide receiver, Quentin Johnson. Johnson has an amazing size and speed combination.
9

Bears
via CAR
Paris Johnson, Jr.OTOhio State
The Bears bring in a guy that played with Justin Fields. He'll immediately slot into the tackle position and improve the offensive line. Bears are all in on Fields and building around him and this helps.
10

Eagles
via NO
Brian BranchSAlabama
The Eagles have lost a lot of pieces on their defense from last year. To help them not take a step back they take one of the best tacklers in the draft in safety Brian Branch.
11

Titans
Peter SkoronskiOTNorthwestern
The Titans take Peter Skoronski, the best offensive lineman in this draft. He lacks the ideal size to play left tackle in the NFL, but it didn't seem to hurt him much in the Big 10 in college.
12

Texans
via CLE
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaWROhio State
A hamstring injury limited JSN to only three games last year. However, he's the best wide receiver prospect in the draft. Texans' first pick, Bryce Young, gets a new toy right away.
13

Jets
Broderick JonesOTGeorgia
While some people may view this as a reach, Broderick Jones is a massive dude. He excels at run blocking, but still had an 84.1 PFF grade pass blocking last year. The Jets will be able to utilize him to get Breece Hall moving the ball well, as well as to block Rodgers or Wilson.
14

Patriots
Lukas Van NessEdgeIowa
Kirk Ferentz and Bill Belichek share the same agent. The Patriots need an edge rusher and Belichek will easily be able to get any info he needs. The Iowa Hawkeye stand out elevates the defensive line from Day 1.
15

Packers
Dalton KincaidTEUtah
The Packers may be entering somewhat of a rebuil with a looming Rodgers trade happening. However, they fill a big need at the tight end position with Dalton Kincaid. Kincaid is a game changing tight end with wide receiver speed in a tight end body.
16

Commanders
Devon WitherspoonCBIllinois
The Commanders face Jalen Hurts, Dan Jones, and Dak Prescott twice a year. They look to limit all three with the best cornerback in the draft in Devon Witherspoon.
17

Steelers
Joey Porter Jr.CBPenn State
Joey Porter, Sr. played for Pittsburgh. Joey Porter, Jr. stays in the area and follows his father's footsteps, all while filling a big need for the Steelers.
18

Lions
Christian GonzalezCBOregon
The Lions continue to improve their defense by adding cornerback Christian Gonzalez out of Oregon. He has the size and athleticism to line up anywhere in the defensive backfield.
19

Buccaneers
Deonte BanksCBMaryland
The run on cornerbacks continues as Bucs improve their defensive backfield with Deonte Banks. Banks is a sticky cornerback who will make life difficult for opposing quarterbacks while frustrating wide receivers.
20

Seahawks
Calijah KanceyDIPitt
The Seahawks continue to revamp their defensive line adding Calijah Kancey. Kancey received a 92.4 pass rush grade in 2022 by PFF. He and Wilson are about to wreak havoc on the NFC West.
21

Chargers
Jordan AddisonWRUSC
There are concerns about Jordan Addison's size. At 5'11 and only 173 pounds, it's understandable. However, he's an excellent route runner who never had trouble producing at USC.
22

Ravens
Nolan SmithEDGEGeorgia
The Ravens need help on their defensive line and Nolan Smith falls perfectly to them. Ravens' OC Todd Monken, former Georgia OC, can vouch for his playmaking ability after watching him get after his offense in practice all last year.
23

Vikings
Bryan BeeseDIClemson
There's a lot of different ways VIkings could approach this pick, but they take Bryan Beese. He'll command double teams on the interior of the line, as well as be a problem in the pass rush.
24

Jaguars
Myles MurphyEDClemson
It feels like it's been awhile since the Jaguars have picked this far back in the draft. They keep the tradition of taking Clemson players and select Myles Murphy, an edge rusher who charges O-linemen fast.
25

Giants
Zay FlowersWRBoston College
The Giants continue to build around Dan Jones by getting him a deep threat in Zay Flowers. Flowers is shifty and gives them a weopon they can use in many different ways.
26

Cowboys
Michael MayerTENotre Dame
After letting Dalton Schultz walk, the Cowboys replace him with Michael Mayer. Mayer is an excellent run blocker who is also a big target that can help move the chains.
27

Bills
Jack CampbellLBIowa
The Bills lost Tremaine Edmunds but replace him with Jack Campbell. Campbell is a true middle linebacker that Bills Mafia will love. He was the highest graded power 5 coverage linebacker.
28

Bengals
Luke MusgraveTEOregon State
The Bengals add a tight end with a lot of upside in Musgrave. Despite an unlucky college career of energies, he's one of the fastest tight ends to come through the draft and will elevate the offense. Good luck covering Chase, Higgins, and Musgrave.
29

Saints
via SF via MIA via DEN
Mazi SmithDLMichigan
The Saints build up their defensive line by adding one of the strongest players in the draft in Mazi Smith. He's a nose tackle that they can build their defensive line around using him as a NT or DT.
30

Eagles
Bijan RobinsonRBTexas
The free agency and trade market has shown the running back position is being valued lower by teams. The surprising slide of Bijan Robinson stops here. Hurts and Robinson are going to give defenses headaches.
31

Chiefs
Josh DownsWRNorth Carolina
The Chiefs have a big hole at wide receiver, despite how good Patrick Mahomes is. They get an elite route runner and hard-working receiver in Josh Downs who turns in a better year than JuJu did last year.
FOREFIT

Dolphins
SELECTION FOREFITED
Miami Forefits their 2023 1st Round Pick as a result of attempted tampering with Tom Brady.

Round 2

As teams look to protect their quarterbacks, ten of the selections in the second round are offensive linemen. On the other side of the line, seven edge rushers are taken. Finally, it’s a round for the trenches with a couple of other selections in there.

One of my favorite selections this draft is the Chiefs taking Darnell Washington. No, Travis Kelce isn’t getting replaced. However, he is getting older, and Darnell Washington is an excellent prospect who can also help in the run-blocking game. The second round of the 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft was definitely interesting.

#TeamPickPosCollege
32

Steelers
via CHI
Dawand JonesOTOhio State
Dawand Jones is an absolutely massive human being at 6’8” and 374 pounds. The Steelers struggled to run the ball effectively last year, and Jones received a high run grade. He'll help the line immediately.
33

Texans
Will McDonald IVEDGEIowa State
After revamping the offense in the first round, the Texans turn to the defense and take Will McDonald out of Iowa State. McDonald is an explosive player who will bulk up a bit and could become a great pass rusher.
34

Cardinals
Emmanuel ForbesCBMississippi State
With the top wide receivers off the board, the Cardinals focus on the defense and improving their backfield. Forbes is a 6-1 playmaker who can hang with the tall receivers.
35

Colts
Anton HarrisonOTOklahoma
The Colts got their QB of the future in Levis, now they secure a tackle to help protect him. Harrison is a natural who continues to get better with experience. He could be a solid offensive line piece for years to come.
36

Rams
Felix Anudike-UzomahEDGEKansas State
The Rams need a lot of positional help, but they get an edge rusher in Anudike-Uzomah. He has the potential to grow in to a focal point of the defense.
37

Seahawksvia DEN
O'Cyrus TorrenceGFlorida
The Seahawks continue a strong draft by taking the top prospect at guard in O'Cyrus Torrence. He's received good overall grades the past two years and helps in both the run and passing games.
38

Raiders
Cam SmithCBSouth Carolina
After adding their QB of the future, the Raiders help their defense by taking Cam Smith. He doesn't have inspiring size or athleticism, but he's always where he needs to be.
39

Panthers
BJ OjulariEDGELSU
The Panthers have a lot of needs, but they take BJ Ojulari out of LSU. Ojulari is a strong edge rusher who will help the Panthers in the trenches and be a building piece on their defense for years to come.
40

Saints
Steve AvilaGTCU
The Saints take an excellent pass-blocking guard in Steve Avila. Avila immediately helps in to help protect Derek Carr.
41

Titans
Jalin HyattWRTennessee
The Titans need receiver help and Jalin Hyatt can do that. He has elite speed and has really good hands. He just won the Biletnikoff Award and will help Tennessee's offense kick it up a notch.
42

Jetsvia CLE
Daiyan HenleyLBWashington State
A former wide receiver, Daiyan Henley is a very good athlete who can cover well. The Jets get a great coverage linebacker in a division that throws the ball a lot.
43

Jets
Luke WyplerCOhio State
The Jets continue rebuilding their offensive line by taking the best center in the draft - Luke Wypler.
44

Falcons
Darnell WrightOTTennessee
In an unpredicted slide, teams are worried Darnell Wright's career will look more like the first three years. The Falcons feel otherwise, and graban OT with a ton of experience.
45

Packers
Adetomiwa AdebaworeEDGENorthwestern
The Packers get a guy they've met with multiple times in Adetomiwa Adebawore. He had one of the best combines and will help their defensive line immediately.
46

Patriots
Matthew BergeronOTSyracuse
As of this mock draft the Patriots youngest OT is 27. Bergeron needs to up his run-blocking game, but he's a solid pass-blocker who has experience at both tackle positions.
47

Commanders
Drew SandersLBArkansas
Washington adds to their linebacking corp with a linebacker that rushes the passer like an edge defender. In fact, Drew Sanders played that position at Alabama. He's a sideline to sideline guy who elevates an already good defense.
48

Lions
Sam LaPortaTEIowa
Last year the Lions traded away former Iowa tight end TJ Hockenson. Now they replace him with a younger version, also out of Iowa. Sam LaPorta led the team in receptions in every season but his first.
49

Steelers
Tuli TuipulotuEDGEUSC
The Steelers select Tuli Tuipulotu, who will become a star playing opposite TJ Watt. Now the opposing offensive lines have two strong and quick pass-rushers to worry about.
50

Buccaneers
Jahmyr GibbsRBAlabama
After meeting with Jahmyr Gibbs at the combine, the Bucs wanted to find a way to draft him. They do that in the second round and give them a running back with speed who is also a receiving threat.
51

Dolphins
Tyrique StevensonCB/b>Miami
The Dolphins let Tyrique Stevenson continue to play in Miami by drafting him. He became a true shut-down corner in Miami, something that's important in a division with Josh Allen and potentially Aaron Rodgers.
52

Seahawks
Joe TippmannCWisconsin
In two rounds with four picks, the Seattle Seahawks finish rebuilding their trenches by adding Joe Tippmann. Tippmann is very athletic for his size and will become an anchor of the o-line.
53

Bears
via BAL
Siaki IkaDIBaylor
From a Baylor Bear, to a Chicago Bear, Siaki Ika will help the Bears' d-line. He knows how to rush the passer and has a very quick first-step.
54

Chargers
Nick HerbigEDGEWisconsin
The Chargers need edge-rushing help and they get that in Nick Herbig. He'll get to develop next to Bosa and Mack. Herbig can beat blocks in numerous amounts of ways.
55

Lions
Antonio JohnsonSTexas A&M
The Lions continue to revamp their defense by selecting Antonio Johnson. He's a 6-2 Safety who has a nose for the ball. He's run-stopping safety that will help in a run-heavy division.

63

Round 3

nfl draft props contest

The Bears open this round, taking a player who’s coming off an ACL injury. The last defensive back they took coming off an injury was Eddie Jackson, and that worked out just fine. Wide receivers don’t hold as much value due to a saturated market, and a couple go on this round. In fact, Parker Washington ends up sticking around the same area as the Pittsburgh Steelers draft him. If you tuned in to the Old-Fashioned Football podcast, you’d remember Colby Dant was very high on Parker Washington.

Parker Washington may be the most fun pick in this round of the 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft. He could slot in and immediately start making plays.

#TeamPickPosCollege
64

Bears

The Rams get a steal in Jordan Battle, one of the most reliable safeties in the draft class.
70

72

Titans
Hendon HookerQBTennessee

73

Texansvia CLE
Chandler ZavalaGNC State
The Texans continue a strong draft in general, adding NC State Guard Chandler Zavala. After only five career starts prior to this year, he only allowed four pressures on 422 pass-blocking snaps this season. He's just scratching the surface on his potential.

80

Steelers
Parker WashingtonWRPenn State
The Steelers keep Parker Washington in the same area by selecting him in the third round. He may be one of the most underrated wide receivers in the draft. If he can find success with Sean Clifford, he'll find success with Kenny Pickett.

89

Giants
Kendre MillerRB/b>TCU
Will Saquon Barkley be around more than one more year? It's hard to say, but this gives the Giants flexibility. Kendre Miller averaged 6.7 yards per carry on his career that has the size, speed, and burst to handle a full workload in the league.
90

Cowboys
Roschon JohnsonRBTexas
With a couple running backs off the board the past ten picks, the Cowboys go and get a replacement for Zeke. Roschon Johnson gets to stay in his home state of Texas. He was stuck behind Bijan Robinson, but has the talent to be a short-yardage back, and eventually could take over.

98

BrownsComp Pick
Anthony JohnsonSIowa State
The Browns take Anthony Johnson to fill their need at safety. He switched from cornerback to safety just last year and it paid off. He could be a starting safety in the NFL for years to come.
99

49ersComp Pick
Juice ScruggsCPenn State
The 49ers are knowing for taking a player they like even if some consider it a reach. They've liked Juice Scruggs since they met with him at the combine. The 6-3 center may start as a depth piece, but will eventually anchor this line.
100

Raidersvia KC Special Comp Pick
Tyler SteenOTAlabama
The Raiders take a four-year starter in Tyler Steen. He's 6-6 and could end up playing tackle in the NFL, but he will likely start at guard and excel as a pass-protecting guard.
101

49ersComp Pick
Marvin MimsWROklahoma
The 49ers take wide receiver Marvin Mims out of Oklahoma. He's an athlete who averaged 19.5 yards per catch in college. Deebo, Aiyuk, and Mims could create an issue for defenses.

Eli RicksCBAlabama
Eli Ricks slides due to injury concerns. The 49ers stop the slide at the end of the third, taking the chance that California kid can overcome the injury history. He's got excellent technical skills and is going to be a good press cornerback.

Round 4

The deeper you get into the draft, the tougher it is to predict. So how did I associate teams with the picks I gave them? It was based on team needs, PFF grades, projected player rankings, and taking into account which players teams visited with.

The Patriots add their second Iowa Hawkeye player in, Riley Moss, at the end of this round. The Bills beef up their running back room now that Devin Singletary is gone. The Browns and Panthers also make intriguing running back choices.

#TeamPickPosCollege
103

Bears
Karl BrooksEDBowling Green

104

Texans
Andrew VorhesGUSC
The Texans take guard Andrew Vorhees. He's played 400 snaps at each of left tackle, left guard, and right guard. He's a plug and play who can both start and provide excellent depth.

110

Falconsvia TEN
Keion WhiteEDGeorgia Tech
The Falcons take edge rusher Keion White. He's got massive size but hasn't been able to put everything together quite yet. He'll need to learn quick, but the upside is too hard to pass up.
111

Browns
Tyjae SpearsRBTulane
The Browns have Nick Chubb. Now they have an insurance policy in Tyjae Spears who can plug right in to spell Chubb and in event of an injury.
112

Jets
Ji'Ayir BrownSPenn State
The Jets take Ji'Ayir Brown, a safety they met with at the combine. He is a ball-hawk safety who needs to keep developing. He falls in a good spot on a trending upward defense.

The Panthers take DeWayne McBride, an excellent RB out of UAB. He and Miles Sanders instantly become of the best RB-duos in the league.
115

Saints
Cory TriceCBPurdue
The Saints take CB Cory Trice, who may be a little bit of a project. At 6-3, he's built like a linebacker. However, he's an excellent press corner who allowed only one catch on 88 press snaps this past season.
116

Packers
JL SkinnerSBoise State
The Packers take safety JL Skinner to play either opposite Adrian Amos or in the slot cornerback spot. Opposing quarterbacks are going to have a hard time finding holes in this defense.
117

Patriots
Zack KuntzTEOld Dominion
The Patriots take a flier on the combine standout Zack Kuntz. He has a ton of raw potential and could develop into the next great Patriots tight end.
118

119

Vikingsvia DET
Viliami FehokoEDGESan Jose State
The Vikings take Edge rusher Viliami Fehoko. Despite not being as well known of a name among the top edge rushers, he was nearly unblockable last year. He had 66 pressures and a 90.9 overall grade from PFF. That's important when you play a guy named Justin Fields twice a year.
120

Steelers
Ivan Pace Jr.LBCincinnati
The Steelers select Ivan Pace, Jr. He's a very small linebacker, but plays tough and has a nose for the football. Tomlin will find creative ways to use him to make big plays.
121

Jaguarsvia TB
Jaelyn DuncanOTMaryland
Jaelyn Duncan has great footwork, but his struggles with his hands and allowing 28 pressures this fall causes him to slide in the draft. The Jags stop that slide in hopes they can help develop him into a more consistent pass-blocker.
122

Chiefsvia MIA
Zach HarrisonEDGEOhio State
The Chiefs add Zach Harrison, a 6-5 edge rusher who has all the physical gifts needed. He'll be a role player that could develop into a nice edge rusher.
123

Seahawks
Kyu Blu KellyCBStanford
The Seahawks take Kyu Blu Kelly. Kelly comes with four years of starting experience and a really high football IQ.
124

Ravens
Christopher SmithSGeorgia
The Ravens take safety Christopher Smith. New offensive coordinator Todd Monken tells the top brass that his offense had to practice against this guy weekly. He's a play-maker as a deep safety.
125

Chargers
Kobie TurnerDIWake Forest
The Chargers take Kobie Turner for their interior defensive line. Turner had a dominant season for Wake Forest and the Chargers are happy he's still here in the draft. He'll need to bulk up, but the Chargers continue to improve on defense with this pick.
126

Brownsvia MIN
Zacch PickensDISouth Carolina
If you take only Zacch Pickens top plays and pair that with his athleticism, he's one of the best d-lineman in the draft. But inconsistencies bring him back to a fourth-rounder that could develop more.
127

Jaguars
Ronnie HickmanSOhio State
Safety Ronnie Hickman had a breakout campaign in 2022. PFF gave him an 88.9 coverage grade last year.
128

Giants
Henry To'oTo'oLBAlabama
With room to develop, the Giants take Henry To'oTo'o, a 6-1 linebacker who is known for his run stopping abilities.
129

Cowboys
Kayshon BoutteWRLSU
The Cowboys get a receiver with high upside in Kayshon Boutte. This is a guy who had 308 yards in a game as a true freshman. Last year he was coming off ankle surgery and seemed to take a step back. Still, the Cowboys are looking for the guy that had nine touchdowns in 2021.
130

Bills
Sean TuckerRBSyracuse
The Bills take running back Sean Tucker. Damien Harris isn't the answer and James Cook isn't an every-down back. Tucker has explosiveness who will serve as an excellent two-down back.
131

Bengals
Keondre CoburnDITexas
The Bengals continue to improve their defensive line with Keondre Coburn. He uses his leverage as a nose tackle and has good talent to develop.
132

Panthers
via SF
Jonathan MingoWRMississippi
Panthers add youth to their receiving corps with Jonathan Mingo. He sometimes looks like he's built like a running back, but he has improved his hands and route running over his college years. Panthers met with him at the combine, and now draft him.
133

Bears
via Phi
Jayden ReedWRMichigan State
The Bears have already shown interest in Jayden Reed by meeting with him. Now they draft him. Reed will serve as a security if Mooney or Claypool don't stick around or work out. Reed is a polished route runner who can create seperation.
134

Chiefs
Braeden DanielsOTMaryland
The Chiefs take offensive tackle Braeden Daniels. He's allowed only one sack in over almost 1000 pass-block snaps over the last two years.
135

PatriotsComp Pick
Riley MossCBIowa
The Patriots add another Iowa Hawkeye in Riley Moss. Moss is a reliable cornerback who has played in the past four seasons.

Round 5

Will the Jets land Aaron Rodgers? What once seemed like a sure thing doesn’t seem sure at all anymore. It is more confusing than anything else. Still, it’s clear they are ready to move on from Zach Wilson. They wait until the fifth round to address quarterback but take one they think could develop behind Rodgers.

That’s not the only quarterback taken in this round. Is Sam Howell the answer for Washington? That probably depends on the question. However, they take a quarterback for depth who could end up out-performing him at some point. The Ravens also take a quarterback that their offensive coordinator is very familiar with.

#TeamPickPosCollege
136

Bears
Chase BrownRBIllinois
Brown falling to the Bears after his college career for Illinois would be a perfect storm. He's explosive and will work into a rotation running the ball with Herbert, Foreman, Fields. He will need to clean up his fumbles, but in the fifth round, the Bears get a guy that could be a game changer.
137

Billsvia AZ
Brandon JosephSNotre Dame
The Bills take a safety in Brandon Joseph that can line up in the slot, deep, and at cornerback. He's a ball-hawk who gets even better when placed on a strong Bills defense.
138

Colts
Olusegun OluwatimiCMichigan
The strong run-blocking center Olusegun Oluwatimi is too good for the Colts to pass up.
139

Broncos
Byron YoungDIAlabama
No it's not a typo, there are two Byron Young's in the draft and the Broncos take them both. This one is an interior defensive lineman who is really good against the run.
140

Brownsvia LAR
Colby WoodenEDGEAuburn
Colby Wooden falls some due to his size. He played on the interior at Auburn but is only 278 pounds. The Browns will find a way to use him either way.
141

Raiders
Daniel ScottSCalifornia
Raiders take Daniel Scott, a safety out of California who will look to recap his 2021 season where he was graded at an 81.8 by PFF
142

Browns
Cam JonesLBIndiana
Cam Jones took a big step forward last season, even though he only played five games due to injury. He'll look to keep improving and developing with the Browns.
143

Jets
Jake HaenerQBFresno State
The push to trade for Rodgers shows the Jets are ready to move on from Zach Wilson. Haener can sit and develop. He had a 71.4% completion percentage last year and 20 touchdowns to only three interceptions.
144

Raidersvia ATL
Nick SaldiveriOTOld Dominion
Raiders take Nick Saldiveri, another offensive tackle that could also play guard. They build their offensive line through versatility.
145

Panthers
Owen PappoeLBAuburn
Owen Pappoe is another linebacker that took a big step forward last year. The Panthers use their last pick on him, hoping he can keep taking steps forward.
146

Saints
Xavier HutchinsonWRIowa State
Not a lot of emphasis on the wide receivers in this draft class causes Hutchinson to fall. Michael Thomas has issues staying healthy and behind Olave, the options are limited. Hutchinson just had an 1170 yard season at Iowa State and could become a playmaker in the NFL.
147

Titans
Yasir AbdullahEDGELouisville
Abdullah falls due to his size. However, he still scored a very high pass-rushing grade from PFF and the Titans take a chance
148

Bears
via NE via BAL
Mike MorrisEDGEMichigan
Morris takes a fall from other mocks, but is slotted in right around his PFF ranking. At 6-5 he's a big guy, but he struggles against the run. He'll need to develop his technique so tight ends and tackles don't take advantage of him.
149

Packers
Charlie JonesWRPurdue
Another victim of the lack of wide receivers going off the board, Charlie Jones falls to fifth round. Still, Packers get a player who just went for 1361 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has a low drop rate as well.
150

Commanders
Clayton TuneQBHouston
Is Sam Howell the answer for Washington? We have yet to see. They take Clayton Tune for some insurance. He is an excellent passer who had a 79.5% adjusted completion percentage, good for 7th overall in the NCAA.
151

Seahawksvia PIT
Deuce VaughnRBKansas State
The Mugsy Bogues of football, Deuce Vaughn is still only 5-5. However, he runs hard and can be used in a variety of creative ways. His size also didn't stop him for running for almost 3000 yards and 27 touchdowns the past two years.
152

Lions
Yaya DiabyEDGELouisville
Yaya Diaby is coming off a 10 sack season. He'll work into rotation for a strong Lions' defensive line.
153

Buccaneers
Carter WarrenOTPittsburgh
The 6-5 tackle has long arms and has improved each season. His stock drops after tearing his meniscus last year.
154

Seahawks
Emil Ekiyor Jr.GAlabama
The Seahawks only had five interior offensive lineman on their roster going into the draft. They add their third in the draft in Emil Ekiyor, who allowed 0 sacks on 414 pass block snaps last year.
155

49ersvia MIA
Davis AllenTEClemson
George Kittle isn't getting replaced. However, the 49ers were impressed after meeting with Davis Allen at the combine. He's 6-6 and has excellent ball skills, catching 17 of his 20 contested targets in the last two seasons.
156

Chargers
Zach EvansRBMIssissippi
We never got a chance to see Zach Evans start a full season. However, he averaged 6.9 yards per carry, and could provide the Chargers a game plan if Ekeler leaves.
157

Ravens
Stetson BennettQBGeorgia
Maybe it's a reach, but Stetson Bennett gets reunited with his offensive coordinator from last year, and the Ravens suddenly have leverage in the Lamar Jackson drama.
158

Vikings
Jakorian BennettCBMaryland
The Vikings take a speedy cornerback in Jakorian Bennett.
159

Falconsvia JAX
Jose RamirezEDGEEastern Michigan
Undersized, Jose Ramirez falls to the Falcons in the fifth round. Still, he's an excellent pass rusher.
160

Giants
Jaxson KirklandGWashington
Jaxson Kirkland had an 82.6 pass-blocking grade last season per PFF. He's 6-7 and could win a starting job his rookie year.
161

Texansvia DAL
Josh WhyleTECincinnati
Josh Whyle is a 6-6 tight end who could develop into a good redzone target and run blocker.
162

Coltsvia BUF
Starling ThomasCBUAB
Colts met with Starling Thomas at his pro day. They love his speed, as he's one of the fastest cornerbacks in this draft class.
163

Bengals
Keaton MitchellRBEast Carolina
With not knowing how many good seasons Joe Mixon has left, the Bengals take Keaton Mitchell. He's a burner and a very dynamic back that will be a great gadget player for them.
164

49ers
Jerrod ClarkDICoastal Carolina
Jerrod Clark is a big dude on the defensive line that had 22 quarterback hurries in just 281 pass rush snaps last year.
165

The Saints can let Dorian Thompson-Robinson develop behind Carr. Last year he threw for 3159 yards and 27 touchdowns.
166

Chiefs
Rashad Torrence IIEDGEFlorida
The Chiefs take safety Rashad Torrence. He had a 76.1 coverage grade last year from PFF.
167

Rams
Comp Pick
Kei'Trel ClarkCBLouisville
After standing out at the Shrine Bowl, Kei'Trel Clark goes to the Rams. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and being drafted this late is only going to help that narrative.
168

CardinalsComp Pick
Jalen RedmondDIOklahoma
Jalen Redmond will work into the rotation as a run-stopping defensive lineman.
169

CowboysComp Pick
Brodric MartinDIWestern Kentucky
Cowboys add the towering 6-5, 330-pound defensive tackle Brodric Martin

PackersComp Pick
Jonah TavaiDISan Diego State
Jonah Tavai is only 6 foot, but he is a really well-rounded defensive lineman.
171

Rams
Comp Pick
Atonio MafiGUCLA
The Rams take AtonioMafi to help their offensive line. He's a good run-blocker who will look to develop his pass-blocking skills in the NFL.
172

GiantsComp Pick
Payne DurhamTEPurdue
Maybe it doesn't make sense after the Waller trade and Bellinger looking decent last year. However, the Giants love Payne Durham, and they add him in the 5th with a comp pick.
173

49ersComp Pick
Marte MapuSSacramento State
The 49ers take Marte Mapu who is an interesting prospect. He's a 6-3, 216-pound safety that could end up being played at linebacker. He's an excellent run-stopper no matter what spot he plays in.
174

RaidersComp Pick
Tyler LacyEDOregon State
The Raiders take Tyler Lacy out of Oklahoma State to help along the defensive line. Lacy will look to elevate his pass-rush technique but is already a good run-stopper.
175

BuccaneersComp Pick
Jake AndrewsCTroy
Bucs don't have a lot of depth at center or guard. Drafting Jake Andrews changes that as he has experience playing both.
176

ColtsComp Pick
Ventrell MillerLBFlorida
The Colts met with Ventrell Miller at his pro day and liked what they saw. After a season-ending injury in 2021 he had a nice bounce back year last year.
177

Rams
Comp Pick
Jalen Moreno-CropperWRFresno State
The Rams select Jalen Moreno-Cropper, a nice route runner who is a little undersized. McVay will find a role for him.

Round 6

On the top of quarterbacks in the fifth round, the sixth round of the 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft features the Rams taking a quarterback that could sit and learn behind Matt Stafford. The Cowboys get a little insurance in case Dak gets hurt again, and Cooper Rush can’t save the day.

This is a mixed bag of picks, but there were some surprisingly good values still in the sixth round. Keep in mind the sixth and seven-rounders sometimes have to fight to make rosters. They could end up on the practice squad, but there’s a good handful here that will make the 53-man roster.

#TeamPickPosCollege
178

Chiefsvia MIA via CHI
Israel AbanikandaRBPitt
The Chiefs take Israel Abanikanda, a project speed back who needs some more development time. In a couple years, this pick could be looked back on as a steal.
179

Buccaneersvia HOU
Aidan O'ConnellQBPurdue
Matt Stafford is getting older and the Rams decide to take a quarterback with some upside to learn from him. Aidan O'Connell didn't have a great year last year. However, the year before he graded out at 90.6 per PFF. They'll look to tap into that O'Connell.
180

Bryce Ford-WheatonWRWEst Virginia
The Cardinals take Bryce Ford-Wheaton, a 6-4 wide receiver who tied for fourth with 18 contested catches last year.
181

Bucs take 6-2 safety Trey Dean. Dean has lined up all over the defensive backfield. Last year he had six forced incompletions.
182

Rams
Jacob SladeDIMichigan State
Rams take Jacob Slade, a defensive lineman from Michigan State. He had a much better year in 2021, however, with time he could develop into a nice rotational piece.
183

Lionsvia DEN
Ricky StrombergCArkansas
The Lions take Ricky Stromberg to initially back up Frank Ragnow. Stromberg graded out at 82.4 overall per PFF and provides much needed depth.
184

Jarrett PattersonGNotre Dame

198

Seahawks
Malik CunninghamQBLouisville
The Seahawks draft quarterback Malik Cunningham. Even though he was taken in the USFL college draft, his USFL time will have to wait as he sits and learns behind Geno Smith.
199

Ravens
Kenny McIntoshRBGeorgia
The Ravens continue adding pieces that Todd Monken is familiar with. This time in Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh. He averaged over 5 yards a carry through three years and can catch out of the backfield, as shown by his 42 receptions last year. McIntosh was third among runnin gbacks in yards per route run.
200

Chargers
Jordan McFaddenOTClemson
The Chargers take Jordan McFadden as a depth piece at the tackle position. He was much better in both 2021 and 2020 than last year. However, he'll get to work on his technique while providing much needed depth.
201

Texansvia MIN
Mekhi BlackmonCBUSC

202

211

VikingsComp Pick
Tyson BagentQBShepherd
The Vikings take project quarterback Tyson Bagent. In the sixth round, he doesn't need to be a top performer right now, as he'll sit behind Cousins and develop. Bagent threw for 9,580 yards and 94 touchdowns to only 15 interceptions in the last two years alone. He has 17,034 career yards and 159 passing touchdowns.
212

CowboysComp Pick
Max DugganQBTCU
The Cowboys take Max Duggan. They met with him earlier this year and he seems like the type of quarterback Kellen Moore would love. He can develop behind Dak in prep for bringing his big-play potential to the Cowboys should Dak get hurt. Last year he threw 32 touchdowns and led TCU to a historic season.
213

CardinalsComp Pick
Carrington ValentineCBKentucky
Despite not being the most productive corner, Carrington Valentine has garnered interest from teams in the late rounds. The Cardinals take him here towards the end of the 6th.
214

RaidersComp Pick
Mekhi GarnerCBLSU

216

Chiefs
Brett NeilonCUSC
The Chiefs currently have one of the thinnest offensive lines as far as depth goes. Brett Neilon allowed 0 sacks in each of the last two years in playing over 1000 pass-blocking snaps.

Round 7

It’s hard to determine which round is harder to predict in this 2023 NFL seven-round mock draft. The first is hard because everybody thinks they know how it’s going to go, and it never seems to go exactly like that. The seventh is a bit of a dart throw. This is used for cleanup on players that could have an upside. Teams are willing to take a risk on a seventh-rounder because they aren’t investing a whole lot. That ended up seeing nine offensive tackles get drafted as insurance.

#TeamPickPosCollege
218

Panthers
via CHI
McClendon CurtisOTChattanooga
The Bears add more depth to the offensive tackle positions in McClendon Curtis. Curtis was graded with a 90.0 pass block grade per PFF and 83.3 overall. He's a developmental piece but could be a steal.

Dontayvion WicksLBVirginia
Dontayvion Wicks didn't have a great year last year. However, in 2021 he had 1201 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns while averaging 21.1 yards a reception. Those numbers are worth chasing in the seventh round and the Falcons grab him up.
226

232

Packers
Logan BonnerQBUtah State
The irony of the Packers selecting another Utah State quarterback isn't lost on me. However, with Rodgers having one foot out the door and Jordan Love still hasn't shown he has the "it" factor, Bonner steps in to develop behind either of them. He ended his season with an injury in 2022.
233

Commanders
Kahlef HailassieCBWestern Kentucky
The Commanders add another cornerback in Kahlef Hailassie. He had two interceptions last year and will look to earn a spot on the depth chart.
