Now is a good time to take a step back, look at what happened over the weekend, and evaluate how we think each team did in the 2023 NFL Draft. Such analyses may prove silly within months; players drafted highly might struggle, and “project” players who were selected late could prove to be hidden gems….
The 2023 NFL Draft is done! It’s been a really fun weekend, but all good things must come to an end. We saw a record number of trades with 43 over 3 nights, and every team had multiple picks. However, some did better than others, and that’s why we’re here. In this post, I’ll be…
Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft has come to a close, and it was as action-packed as the night before. We had the most trades ever in rounds 2 and 3 of a draft (16 by my count). Two more QBs found homes, we had 3 consecutive Volunteers get drafted, and we saw a…
Welcome to the 2023 NFL Draft! The first round is complete, and it was as insane as we all expected. Houston fooled everyone by taking a QB at #2 after all…and then jumped back up to #3 to get their edge rusher. The Colts lied about their QB preferences, and Arizona finally got their trade…
If you didn’t see the big capital letters in the post title, then let me reiterate: this is the FINAL VERSION of my 2023 NFL mock draft. Even though less time has elapsed between versions 2.0 and 3.0 than between 1.0 and 2.0, you’ll find just as many changes (if not more). Anyone who says…
While we’ve been focusing on the 2023 draft (and for good reason), it’s never too early to start looking ahead to next year. Teams think about future prospects because it informs them about whether they should address certain positions this year or wait for superior prospects. Nowhere is that more true than at the QB…
As we approach the draft, an increasing number of rumors will continue to fly. Some have shreds of truth in them, while others are pure smokescreens. Often, you can tell which is which. For example, we know what teams think of guys like Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, and Will Anderson. But how about some of…
What a couple of months it has been. Most mock drafts were torn apart once Chicago traded the #1 pick to Carolina, but there’s more to it than that. We all expected the Bears to trade that selection, but we didn’t know yet how teams would fare in free agency. Many needs have been filled…
Once the Scouting Combine ends, the next event on a prospect’s calendar is his Pro Day. In the last couple of weeks, the 4 consensus top QBs, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson, all had their Pro Days. These are scripted workouts, but team officials flock to them nonetheless. Every player should…
In my other article this week, I went through some players that I thought did well for themselves at the Combine. However, not everyone had a great week in Indianapolis. Several players damaged their draft stock through underwhelming performance, unflattering measurables, or off-the-field concerns. Here, we’ll go through the players who hurt themselves at the…
