2023 NFL Mock Draft 6.0: Bryce Young Surpasses C.J. Stroud!
Draft season is here, and we are on to our sixth mock draft of the year. In this draft, we will now be mocking with trades. This is when things start to get crazy and all 31 picks as currently slated may end up shuffled. We promised to begin adding trades moving forward once we got into April, and the calendar has flipped.
1 Carolina Panthers
QB Bryce Young, Alabama
We finally moved Young up to the top spot. We are still skeptical, but reports and Vegas odds all point to this being the pick for Carolina.
2 Houston Texans
QB CJ Stroud, Ohio State
The Texans get the safest quarterback in the draft with the second pick.
3 Las Vegas Raiders
QB Anthony Richardson, Florida
The Raiders trade up and set their franchise back another half of a decade with a high-upside project who will be forced into action way too early when Jimmy G inevitably gets injured before Halloween.
4 Indianapolis Colts
QB Hendon Hooker, Tennessee
The Colts have to go with a QB here and it would be inexplicable to take anyone else over Hooker.
5 Seattle Seahawks
DL Jalen Carter, Georgia
Carter has bounced around our draft board a lot because of off-field issues, but Seattle is a team that is willing to take a risk on a guy and Carter is talented enough to warrant the risk.
6 Detroit Lions
EDGE Will Anderson, Alabama
The Lions need help on defense and they go with the best player available here.
7 Arizona Cardinals
CB Christian Gonzalez Oregon
We still believe Gonzalez will be the first CB drafted in a stacked class and Arizona will draft him and fill one of their many holes.

8 Atlanta Falcons
OT Peter Skoronski, Northwestern
The Falcons have made it clear they want to build their offense in the trenches and this is a great piece to build with.
9 Chicago Bears
EDGE Tyree Wilson, Texas Tech
Despite a spending spree this offseason the Bears still have plenty of work to do. They are going to start here with a high-end edge rusher.
10 New England Patriots
WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State
The Pats trade up here to jump the Titans and take the top-rated wide receiver in the draft.
11 Washington Commanders
CB Cam Smith, South Carolina
With JSN off the board, the Titans trade their pick to the Commanders and they grab Cam Smith.
12 Houston Texans
DL Siaki Ika, Baylor
The Texans need a lot of help stopping the run so they grab themselves a very big man to help out.
13 New York Jets
OT Paris Johnson Jr. Ohio State
We have given the Jets their pick back this week as it's been reported that if the Packers do get a first it will be in 2024. Here they grab some much-needed O-line help.
14 Philadelphia Eagles
RB Bijan Robinson, Texas
The Eagles move back and still get Robinson who will make their offense impossibly dangerous.
15 Green Bay Packers
EDGE Myles Murphy, Clemson
The Packers add some much-needed help off the edge.

16 Tennessee Titans
WR Quentin Johnston, TCU
The Titans need weapons and grab arguably the best wideout in this draft class.
17 Pittsburgh Steelers
CB Joey Porter Jr. Penn State
We have had Joey Porter Jr going to the Steelers all of the draft season and we are still sticking with it.
18 Detroit Lions
DL Bryan Bresee, Clemson
After going with the best player available earlier in the draft the Lions now address a crucial need.
19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
CB Devon Witherspoon, Illinois
The depth of elite corners in this draft is ridiculous. Witherspoon is a top-10 pick most years.
20 Tennessee Titans
QB Will Levis Kentucky
With Levis still on the board, Tennessee uses some of the draft capital they received earlier to move back up into the first and grab him.
21 Los Angeles Chargers
OL O’Cyrus Torrence, Florida
The Chargers build up the interior of their offensive line here.
22 Baltimore Ravens
DB Brian Branch, Alabama
Branch is the perfect fit for a Ravens secondary that is in need of re-tooling.
23 Minnesota Vikings
EDGE Lukas Van Ness, Iowa
The Vikings have to add more pressure off the edge and grab Van Ness to do just that.
24 Jacksonville Jaguars
OT Broderick Jones, Georgia
The Jags must protect their franchise quarterback and will grab an excellent OT here to do so.
25 New York Giants
WR Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee
The Giants gave Daniel Jones the bag and now they have to give him some weapons.
26 Dallas Cowboys
S Antonio Johnson, Texas A&M
Dallas needs to add an additional safety to their secondary so they can continue running their three-safety sets.
27 Buffalo Bills
LB Trenton Simpson, Clemson
The Bills lost a key piece in Tremaine Edmunds and will add Simpson in hopes of replacing him.
28 Cincinnati Bengals
CB Deonte Banks, Maryland
This is a case of the rich getting richer with the Bengals stealing a stud corner and filling one of their biggest needs.
29 New Orleans Saints
OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma
The Saints invested heavily in Derek Carr and here they take a step to protect their investment.
30 Philadelphia Eagles
EDGE Nolan Smith, Georgia
The Eagles need to add a pass rusher to add to their rotation and groom him to be a future star.
31 Kansas City Chiefs
WR Zay Flowers, Boston College
The Chiefs need to add a weapon and no player in this draft fits what they want to do more than Flowers.
