2023 NFL MOCK DRAFT - 6/1/22

 The 2023 draft is about 11 months away , but I have been watching tape again for 2 and a half weeks now, and searching for names to add to my watchlist. I'm sure many of you, especially the ones who didn't like their teams draft this year, or who think that their team is likely to be picking high in 2022 are curious about next year.  I still haven't done much work on these guys, except for the few players who I jumped the gun on because I expected them to enter the 2022 draft. Instead those guys opted to stay in school. While I have watched most of these players actually play many times  , that is not the same as breaking down the film on them, and I have only currently broken down the film on one game for 88 of the138 players on  my watchlist.  There are also 4 more players that went back to school I have done 3 games or more games on , and now 2 new ones I have reached the 3 game threshold on. Throw in the guys who are draft eligible sophomores that I don't expect to even contemplate going Pro so early, or that haven't played much yet and aren't on my radar right now, and you get the picture. Then chime in with the fact we have little idea what teams will need at that time because of injuries, free agency, the cap, and who knows what else could happen ? Plus the transfer portal has drastically changed the face of college football , and I have never had more than 14 QB'S on my watchlist this early , but I have 19 right now. So the potential QB class looks drastically better , and it is helped not only by the transfer portal, but surprisingly Covid as well. Too often these days QB's are rushing into the league with only a year or 2 of starting experience, but because of the extra year of eligibility granted due to Covid a lot of guys are staying and getting a chance to polish & develop. Kenny Pickett wouldn't have been a 1rst rounder without that extra year. At the very  least it will help us to sort through their potential, and make the guys who end up making it in the NFL as backups more polished.  Don't lose your minds if your team is picking high. I could be wrong, but this is my opinion about where the teams are at this moment. The second wave of free agency that takes place after the draft, and without compensatory pick compensation isn't over yet. Plus, sadly major injuries happen every year , even in the off season , and those injuries will cause many moves before the season ever starts.  Also, Lamar Jackson & Kyler Murray could be trade candidates if they can't workout contracts with their teams, but I don't include trades in my mocks until draft season. The picks are all mine, but I have done really limited tape study on most of them. They are mostly players I couldn't help noticing while watching last years tape, or guys I expected to enter last years draft that stayed in school. So a lot of trades will probably happen, but IAGAIN I DON'T put trades in mocks until it's draft season again. Without further ado here it is. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently & respectfully or I just won't post it. so here it is. Enjoy.
