2023 NFL Draft Round 1 Mock Draft
With the 2023 NFL Draft almost upon us, we thought it as good a time as any to give you a low down on who’s heading where in our snazzy new mock draft.


As is always the case, the focus is on signal callers, but the 2023 class promises to be full of surprises as there are definitely some heavy hitters in defense who are about to make the jump to the NFL. For the purpose of this mock draft, we’ve paired the top drawer QBs and defensive players with their best on field-fits.

They were then measured for commonalities and with that the common denominators were placed in our list.
