Kiper updates his NFL mock draft: Predictions for all 31
The NFL draft is finally here, and I have a brand-new and improved set of Round 1 forecasts prior to the enjoyable starts Thursday night (8 p.m. ET, ESPN, ABC and ESPN+). This draft includes a lot intrigue– we could see a flurry of trades and surprises in the first round. We likewise could see 5 quarterbacks in the top 20 picks. If you’ve been reading our mock drafts for the past couple of months, though, maybe that won’t surprise you.As for the Carolina Panthers at No. 1? Well, I think I understand the prospect they’re taking, however after 4 years of doing this, it’s tough to state anything is a guarantee.You can have a look at my last Big Board rankings for the 2023 draft, that includes the leading 150 prospects total and the very best at every position. I graded more than 500 total players for this class. You can likewise have a look at my preferred potential customers at every position, with a few nuggets and notes on 14 people. I’ll be on ESPN all weekend, and my grades for all 32 groups will be out late Saturday night, when I get some time to absorb each group’s draft class.Let’s enter into my last 2023 mock draft, projecting all 31 first-round choices– there’s one less choice this year due to the fact that Miami’s first-rounder was taken away– based on what I’m hearing and where I see prospects going off the board. There are a number of changes from my last mock, when Todd McShay and I rotated picks for 3 rounds, and I made some last-minute modifications Thursday early morning, tweaking a handful of picks outside the top 10. I anticipate some mayhem tonight, which is why I predicted 2 trades below. You may be surprised at the landing
areas for the quarterbacks. Here’s how I see Round 1. This mock draft was upgraded at 8:30 a.m. ET to reflect what I’m hearing. I put an asterisk next to each new prediction.
