Austin Vershel Final's 2023 Mock Draft

Round 1

1. Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
   

   Chalk.

2. Houston Texans: Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech
   

   Not the pick I would make but the pick that looks like it will be made.

3. Arizona Cardinals: Paris Johnson, OT, Ohio State
   

   Bucking conventional wisdom, Cardinals land the top OT prospect in this years class.

4. Indianapolis Colts: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
   

   The mayo drinking, banana peel eating gunslinger from Kentucky lands in a favorable spot with offensive guru? Shane Steichen

5. Seattle Seahawks: Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama
   

   Chalk?

6. Detroit Lions: Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia
   

   A pipe dream for Detroit becomes a reality. Lions land the top defensive prospect in the class.

7. Las Vegas Raiders: Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois
   

   A QB? no. Witherspoon too good to pass up here.

8. Atlanta Falcons: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
   

   Chalk.

9. Chicago Bears: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
   

   Bears lose out on ot1 and dt1. Sucks to be them i guess.

10. Philadelphia Eagles: Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia
    

    6 3 and only 240 but a good college player with speed.

11. Tennessee Titans: Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida
    

    Titans drafted Malik Willis last year, so they clearly crave that archtype of QB.

12. Houston Texans: Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
    

    A running mate for last years first pick Stingley.

13. Green Bay Packers: Jaxon Smith Njigba, WR, Ohio State
    

    Packers need to add an offensive weapon to see what they have got in Jordan Love.

14. New England Patriots: Lukas Van Ness, EDGE, Iowa
    

    Chalk.

15. New York Jets: Joey Porter Jr, CB, Penn State
    

    This one was just a vibes pick for me.

16. Washington Commanders: Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland
    

    Take this one to the bank.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Brian Branch, S, Alabama
    

    Manifesting a saftey duo of Minkah and Branch for the Steelers.

18. Detroit Lions: Peter Skoronski, IOL, Northwestern
    

    Day 1 OG who takes over for Decker at LT eventually.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Darnell Wright, OT, Tenn
    

    Replacing their lost OL.

20. Seattle Seahawks: Calijah Kancey, DL, Pitt
    

    Seahawks round out their DL with an explosive prospect who is a bit undersized.

21. Los Angeles Chargers: Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah
    

    Move tight end for the Chargers, gives Kellen Moore and Herbert a new weapon.

22. Baltimore Ravens: Keelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
    

    Another vibes pick. Who knows what the Ravens even are right now.

23. Minnesota Vikings: Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson
    

    Nothing to say here. Thanks for reading though I realllly appreciate you.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars: Keion White, EDGE, Georgia Tech
    

    This years surprise first round pick after the EDGE depth thins out this late.

25. New York Giants: Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson
    

    Maryland represent.

26. Dallas Cowboys: Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas
    

    Chalk.

27. Buffalo Bills: Zay Flowers, WR, BC
    

    Chiefs make it no secret they want Flowers, but Bills snipe him.

28. Cincinnati Bengals: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama
    

    An RB Replacement for Mixon who is facing legal trouble again.

29. New Orleans Saints: CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State
    

    How the mighty have fallen. In the words of Cardale Jones, CJ aint come here to play school. Stroud failed the S2 test but passes the vibe check and i couldnt find anywhere else to slot him.

30. Philadelphia Eagles: Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Miss State
    

    Samari Rolle 2.0

31. Kansas City Chiefs: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
    

    I know Addison will go first round. But I cant find a spot for him. Someone will likely trade up for this pick or it will be Sydney Brown.
