2023 NFL Draft Results
First Round
Pick Team Selection Position School Analysis 1 Carolina Panthers Bryce Young QB Alabama After catapulting to the first overall selection by making a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears several weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers finally get to draft Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Frank Reich and the organization now have their quarterback of the future. 2 Houston Texans C.J. Stroud QB Ohio State The Houston Texans take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud to be their quarterback of the future. Rampant speculation leading up to the draft had penciled in Tyree Wilson or Will Anderson at the selection, but Stroud is their guy. Houston still has the #12 overall pick to nab another top prospect. 3 Houston Texans Will Anderson Jr. OLB Alabama The Texans make a bold move up to #3 and take Alabama sensation Will Anderson. He is this year’s most fearsome defender and will become one of the NFL’s best pass rushers within several seasons. What an incredible move for Houston! 4 Indianapolis Colts Anthony Richardson QB Florida The Indianapolis Colts make a bold move and selection Florida Gators phenom Anthony Richardson. One of the most athletic quarterbacks in draft history, Richardson isn’t the sum of all his parts, but could become a transcendent quarterback if all pans out. 5 Seattle Seahawks Devon Witherspoon CB Illinois The Seattle Seahawks add Devon Witherspoon at corner to go alongside Tariq Woolen. Fantastic pick for the Seahawks, who now have the potential for one of the NFL’s most impeccable secondaries. 6 Arizona Cardinals Paris Johnson Jr. OT Ohio State After the Cardinals traded back with the Houston Texans to #12, they move back up to #6 overall and get Ohio State’s Paris Johnson. He is this draft’s best offensive tackle and they now have a stalwart prospect to develop Kyler Murray. 7 Las Vegas Raiders Tyree Wilson OLB Texas Tech Tyree Wilson might have the most potential out of any defensive line prospect in this year’s draft. It’s a smart choice for the Raiders who need a consistent threat up front to be a force in their trenches. Bummed he is going to the AFC West. 8 Atlanta Falcons Bijan Robinson RB Texas The Atlanta Falcons take Longhorns standout Bijan Robinson. Easily the draft’s best playmaker, Robinson will be an impact player as a rookie and could become the league’s most dynamic running back in short order. Love this selection for ATL! 9 Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Carter DL Georgia The Eagles trade up one spot and land Bulldogs standout Jalen Carter. Rumors surrounding his off-the-field demeanor had surfaced recently, but he flashes and elite skill set and should be a dynamic defender for Philadelphia’s defensive front. 10 Chicago Bears Darnell Wright OT Tennessee Just a few weeks ago Darnell Wright was being talked of as a late first-round or early-second round selection. Now he is a Top 10 NFL Draft selection after being taken by the Chicago Bears. He is a brawler at the point of attack and has the finishing instinct you desire from an NFL tackle. 11 Tennessee Titans Peter Skoronski OT Northwestern Northwestern’s Skoronski might not have the length to stick at tackle in the NFL, but he’s a plus competitor and one of the draft’s most well-rounded players. He is a safe pick for the Titans who need some attitude up front to fortify their offensive line. Very high floor for him and should be a good player for a long time. 12 Detroit Lions Jahmyr GIbbs RB Alabama The Lions throw the NFL landscape a curveball by taking Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs. I thought he was a first-round caliber player, but I never envisioned him being a Top 12 selection. He will be an instant contributor, but this seems a little wild to me! 13 Green Bay Packers Lukas Van Ness DE Iowa Lukas Van Ness is an absolute monster on the field. Phenomenal pick for the Packers whose defense was in need of a premier talent to create havoc in opposing team’s backfields. I love this selection for Green Bay. 14 Pittsburgh Steelers Broderick Jones OT Georgia The Steelers give Kenny Pickett a new best friend by selecting Georgia’s Broderick Jones. He’s a top-flight tackle with good power, quick feet, and quality experience. Great selection for Pittsburgh. 15 New York Jets Will McDonald IV DE Iowa State Will McDonald IV was his conference’s most elite pass rusher for several seasons. His production dipped this past year, but he was tasked to play multiple techniques. He became a better player and has dynamic bend and athleticism. Huge upside potential under Saleh’s tutelage. Interesting pick. 16 Washington Commanders Emmanuel Forbes CB Mississippi State Forbes is a plus athlete with tremendous length and ball skills. He has a small frame, but he’s a premium cover corner who operates best in off and zone coverages where he can use his football intelligence to diagnose what the quarterback is doing. Interesting pick for the Commanders. 17 New England Patriots Christian Gonzalez CB Oregon Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez is an incredible selection for the New England Patriots. He was ranked as a lot of pundits top-rated corners. He has the size, length, and speed you can’t teach and is adept matching up with opposing receivers. I just wish he made a few more plays on the ball. If he can start taking it away more, the sky is the limit. 18 Detroit Lions Jack Campbell LB Iowa Dan Campbell meet Jack Campbell. The Lions get one of the draft’s most productive and instinctual defenders. I love the way he plays. His tenacity is unmatched and has Pro-Bowl caliber talent. Good pick. 19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Calijah Kancey DT Pitt Kancey’s at his best as a penetrating defensive tackle getting to attack a single gap. He’s undersized, but has elite get-off at the line of scrimmage and makes a lot of plays in the backfield. 20 Seattle Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR Ohio State Jaxon Smith-Njigba had some hamstring injuries this past year, but he was a top target for the Buckeyes’ offense the year prior. He can play anywhere in a receiving formation and has top-tier athletic traits and can throw himself open. That’s a great pick for Seattle’s offense. 21 Los Angeles Chargers Quentin Johnston WR TCU Quentin gives Justin Herbert and the Chargers offense another big-bodied receiver target. Good thing the Broncos have Patrick Surtain II to go against him for the foreseeable future. I like this pick for Tom Telesco’s crew. 22 Baltimore Ravens Zay Flowers WR Boston College Zay Flowers gives Lamar Jackson a top-tier threat who has world-class speed, yard-after-the-catch ability, and can make plays all over the field. He is a smooth separator, but had some drop issues in college, though proved he can experience a high volume of throws in his direction. 23 Minnesota Vikings Jordan Addison WR USC Jordan Addison’s undersized, but he has inside-out flexibility and was one of college football’s mosty dynamic receivers. He won’t be a threat on contested catches, but he can work every level of a defense and gets himself open. Great option to pair with Justin Jefferson. Kind of surprised by this pick. 24 New York Giants Deonte Banks CB Maryland Deonte Banks might be the most athletic corner in this year’s draft. His experience playing in multiple coverage schemes will lessen his length to impact, but he has occasional lapses of awareness and gave up some big plays. If he puts it all together he can become a lock down corner in the NFL. 25 Buffalo Bills Dalton Kincaid TE Utah The first tight end off the board in this year’s draft is Dalton Kincaid. I love his athleticism and talent on the move. He has the ability to become one of the league’s most productive tight ends and will be a huge target for Josh Allen and the Bills. Good pick. 26 Dallas Cowboys Mazi Smith DT Michigan Mazi Smith is 6’2 and 323 pounds and only 21 years old. He has some consistency issues and will have to be in a platoon role in the Cowboys’ defensive front before he can be a full-time starter, but his physical profile could allow him to be a wrecking crew on their interior if he can improve. 27 Jacksonville Jaguars Anton Harrison OT Oklahoma Some NFL Draft insiders had stated Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison could become a first-round pick. The Jaguars make that come true by getting him late in the first-round. The Sooners have generated some top-tier talent with Trent Williams, Orlando Brown, and Lane Johnson over the years and Harrison is the next man up. I like this pick for them. 28 Cincinnati Bengals Myles Murphy DE Clemson Clemson’s Myles Murphy is a productive player who is equally good against the run as he is against the pass. He boasts long arms and plus traits teams covet at the position. But he still has a ways to go and will need some refinement. Pretty good value this late though. 29 New Orleans Saints Bryan Bresee DL Clemson Bresee is a long defensive tackle whose battle-tested and proven he can take on double-teams with efficiency. On the flip side, he has some medical concerns and was just an average producer. If he can stay healthy he should be a productive pro. 30 Philadelphia Eagles Nolan Smith DE Georgia The Eagles head down to Georgia and add another Bulldog defender to their ferocious defense. Smith is undersized, but his speed is unreal and he possesses one of the best get-offs from the line of scrimmage in this draft. Howie Roseman is destroying this draft. 31 Kansas City Chiefs Felix Anudike-Uzomah DE Kansas State The Kansas City Chiefs finish out round one by taking homegrown product Felix Anudike-Uzomah. He is a better pass rusher than he is a run defender, but he has the size to continue to get bigger and the drive to become more consistent. Staying local must be a dream come true for him. Sneaky good pick for KC. April 28, 2023 at 12:03 am #143563
