The time is upon us! The Jets finally landed Aaron Rodgers, the Packers seemingly moved up two spots and I feel they are now NOT taking a tight end in round 1. As I looked at the first round, we’ll see what the NFL thinks but here’s my take in my final 2023 NFL Mock Draft!
I can’t say I targeted everyone’s biggest needs but with Houston, I asked myself “What if they ignore QB and take the best player?” If they do that, do we see them target a veteran via free agency or trade? Teddy Bridgewater or Matt Ryan to hold them over another year?
In the end, I tried to look at what the teams had been saying, see if there was anything I can glean from either the news, “insiders”, or social media, and mash it all together to ultimately make my best guess. Hopefully, I did your team justice, in the end, it’ll be fun to see how this reality TV show finishes!
2023 NFL Mock Draft – Brad’s Final!
I could see Vegas going Richardson over Levis because Garoppolo could “hold them over” until Richardson is ready (if Jimmy G can stay healthy). The wild thing is both the Bears and Jets move back and still get what I would think would be “their guys” in offensive tackles Paris Johnson Jr and Broderick Jones.
Once we get past the Jets, I see trades happening but with this, I kept all picks with their original team. I think Detroit trades, I could see Baltimore doing something wild if Lamar really is going to be gone from the team soon.
