All 19 NFL draft prospects with a Round 1 grade:
7:00 AM ET Matt MillerESPN Who are the genuine first-round potential customers for the 2023 NFL draft? No, not the players who will
be prepared in the first round, however rather the players who in fact receive a real Round 1 grade. And yes, there is a difference.There will be 31 players picked in the preliminary, with the Miami Dolphins being penalized a choice for offenses of league policies associating with the integrity of the game. However NFL groups will not put first-round grades on 31-plus players. Why not? The sacred first-round grade is reserved for a player who would be a Day 1 choice in any recent draft year, and the number differs by group and scouting department. One NFC group informed me it restricts its board to just 15 first-round grades to make scouts be more critical prior to handing out an unique grade. Round 1 grades are reserved for players who are truly worthwhile of the early choice, not simply those who will wind up being one.So I set out to note every player with a first-round grade and ended up with 19 names(below 20 in my late-January update, but up from 17 in early December ). My own rule of thumb is evaluating whether each player would have been a first-round choice in each of the past five draft classes. The list might grow or diminish over the next two months after the hunting integrate and college pro days. However for now, here’s a take a look at the 2023 draft class’ Round 1 grades. Players ‘total rankings remain in parentheses after their names.Jump to position: QB|RB|WR|TE|OT|IOL EDGE|DT|POUND|CB|S Quarterback(3)
