The 2023 NFL Draft is well nigh upon us, and the Big Boards are set, presumably, in the top-secret draft rooms at the headquarters of all 32 teams. There is time for us to conduct just one more mock draft before the real thing kicks off on Thursday night, and it happens to be my turn. Here is Staff Writer Brianna Dix's most recent mock draft, in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed Georgia tackle Broderick Jones. So let's get right to it. No gimmicks in this one, just a straight attempt at predicting what the 31 selections of the first round will be. Mock trades are allowed and I have made two of them, both of them by teams hunting quarterbacks. I'll give the details of the trade up top so that I can concentrate on explaining my picks below.
