2023 NFL DRAFT TOP 75 With Player Comparisons - Post Senior Bowl

 The East/West Shrine game , Senior Bowl , and The Super Bowl are done. The Congratulations to the Chiefs and all their fans! The first round draft order is set , and the combine is coming up quick.  So I am putting out my POST Senior Bowl initial top 75, and as usual the Senior Bowl revealed a lot of things. There were some guys I hadn't even watched before the practices in Mobile started , and I spent my nights catching up on their tape. Also ,there were other guys I had only broken down a single game for , but after the way they played in Mobile I did a deeper dive into their tape as quickly as I could. Plus I did the Bowl game tape , or at least those who played in the Bowl games , for all the guys I was considering for my top 100.  So basically I planned to have this out a week ago , but I waited until after the Superbowl to get it done right. CB has pulled ahead of edge rusher as the clear cut #1 position in this draft now too, and as many as a dozen CB's could go in the first 2 rounds. So some changes have been made , and  I am still watching as much tape as I can before the combine. I have now watched a minimum of 3 games of every player on this list, and have broken down as many as 10 in a few cases. I've added NFL player comparisons so you can have a idea of what type of player your team is getting , but I will change them if someone more suitable comes to mind. As always I add a extra 3 players - One each for Faith ,Family & Football. So it's actually a top 78. 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.
