With the 2022 NFL Draft in the books, everyone is looking to the 2023 NFL Draft. As we depart for the summer to relaunch Draft Countdown, here is a very early 7-round mock draft for 2023 to get everyone hyped up for the class. Plenty will change as I watch more players and analyze more film, but this is some initial thoughts about the 2023 class with a 2023 Mock Draft. The order is reverse Super Bowl odds. Keep an eye out for the Draft Countdown relaunch in August!
I’ll be tweeting about my mock draft, fantasy football, and the NFL Draft over the summer @ShanePHallam as well as @Draftcountdown.Â
