NFL
By: Greg Rector
The 2023 NFL Draft is now three weeks away. As y’all know, when I do a mock draft, I try to do the “predictive” style over the “What I Would Do” mock style draft. I can’t this year use the “predictive” model. So for this final complete 7-round Mock Draft, I will go with a “What I Would Do” approach.
Many different things are playing out, and with all the people I know and talk NFL Draft with for every team in the league, there is so little consensus this year. So without further ado, here is my last 2023 NFL Draft Mock. I will only be posting the picks. If y’all want to discuss, I will gladly reply to comments or on Twitter @GregCowboys
You will see picks moved as I have trades in this Mock Draft. Here we go. Hopefully, I end up getting a lot of these picks correct. I will be tracking how I do on draft weekend. Teams are in the draft order, and for those without a first-round pick, scroll to the bottom, and they will be listed there. I used my own draft board and drafted using the PFF mock draft simulator.
