The NFL Draft is right around the corner. On Thursday night, one of the NFL’s most hectic weekends of the year will kick off, as the league will descend upon Kansas City and unveil the 31 players who will get taken in the first round in 2023. From there, it’s a marathon over the next two days, culminating with someone being named Mr. Irrelevant on Saturday evening when the final pick’s name gets read. While we’re not going to do an entire monster, 7-round mock draft, we decided to sit down and run through the first round and make some picks. Our two rules: 1. We are not allowed to make any trades 2. The picks are made based off of a mix of watching college football and what our guts believe will happen. We have no inside information on this one, but we can certainly hit you with earth-shattering insight like “Bijan Robinson is good.”
