2023 NT NFL Mock Draft

Buffalo Bills are on the clock dwileykyot

 

[dwileykyot]

With the 27th pick, the Buffalo Bills select Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee

Summary:
The Bills are always looking for depth and versatility on the offensive line. And there is currently a vacancy at one of the starting guard positions. Wright is listed as a tackle and will have the opportunity to win the right tackle job or move inside to guard.

Overview:
Wright has a truly elite combination of height, weight and straight-line speed. He also showed exceptional lower-body explosion. But he has smaller-than-average arm length and hand span. In pass pro, his footwork and balance showed significant improvement in 2022, and he shows the ability to mirror-and-slide and keep pass-rushers in front of him when he's playing with urgency. He also rarely gives ground to power rushers. As a run-blocker, Wright is a much better gap blocker than zone blocker. He has a massive frame and excellent overall strength as a drive blocker when he latches on with balance. He fires out with good quickness and shows the ability to reach the second level and dominate linebackers once he gets into their pads. Wright projects best as a right tackle but also would have no trouble kicking inside to guard.

Let’s go Vols

With the 28th pick in the NT NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select…

Darrnell Washington, TE, Georgia.

Summary:
In-line tight end with rare size and power at the point of attack to help soften defensive edges up front. Despite sloppy overall technique, Washington can be effective at moving defenders when he’s centered on his block. He must improve his footwork and hand usage, as NFL defenders will slip away from his clutches more easily if he’s unsound. He plods into his routes but catches with above-average focus and can be a handful to bring down. Washington could become a dominant run blocker with better technique, which makes me wonder if a team might give him a look at offensive tackle at some point in his career.

Strength:
Massive frame and shredded physique.
Mismatches linebackers at the point of attack.
Pure power to torque and displace defender.
Creates considerable advantage near goal line.
Size requires careful coverage consideration.
Able to adjust to off-target throws and catch in congestion.

Weakness:
Footwork into block fits needs work.
Gets into blocks with wide hands.
Waist-bender and head-ducker at point of attack.
Angles to second level lack accuracy.
Stiff-kneed, limiting speed to attack seam.
Unable to sink and break off routes underneath.

New Orleans Saints are now on the clock elpablo21

 

[elpablo21]

And with the 29th pick of the NT NFL Mock Draft, the New Orleans Saints select...

Lukas Van Ness, DL/EDGE, Iowa

Summary:
With defensive star Cameron Jordan starting to get up in age and to strengthen their defensive line, Van Ness fits as a high ceiling prospect that lands on most big boards within the top 15. While his strength is more EDGE currently he has the frame to potentially fill out and be used in the interior as well.

Strength:

• Quick off the ball
• High motor and effort
• Has the ability to line up inside on packages
• Good power and upper body strength

Weakness:

• Needs to work on his hands
• Struggles shedding blocks at times
• Pash rushing bag needs development

And with the 31st pick of the NT NFL Mock Draft, the DEFENDING CHAMPION Kansas City Chiefs select...

Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson

Summary:
After losing a ton of depth on the defensive line Chiefs will need to retool their pash rush and Myles Murphy being a top 5 EDGE prospect in this year's draft this a good value to get him at the end of the 1st round. Myles possesses a ton of upside with some natural ability to get the to the QB with his hands, speed and strength.

Strength:

• Athletic, strong and a powerful bull rush
• Good hands and get off blocks
• Positive run defender

Weakness:

• Lacks a motor at times
• Can play too finesse
• Still a raw prospect

[raider5]

With the 32rd pick of the NT NFL Draft, the Pittsburg Steelers select...

Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson

Summary:
Burly but athletic interior tackle who plays with a strong desire to get past the man in front of him. Bresee rarely gets caught up in long block engagements and possesses a deep anchor to battle double teams. He operates with subtle hand fighting that helps puts pressure on blockers but currently lacks the rush sophistication and shed technique to make more plays in the backfield.

Strength:

• Broad but athletic build.
• Plays instinctive football in tight quarters.
• Processes blocking scheme and attacks with smart hands.
• Takes long, loose strides to defeat reach blocks laterally.
• Can withstand double teams and keep the gap snug.
• Plays past blocker with his eyes and focus.
• Maintains his run fits against move blocks.
• Moving target as interior rusher.
• Stutter-steps and strikes with altered pace.
• Pocket-pusher when he gets the jump.

Weakness:

• College production does not jump off the page.
• Will slip block and lose gap leverage at times.
• Range as a tackle-maker is average.
• Rush approach is linear and unsophisticated.
• Unable to flip hips and get skinny around the edge.
• Suffered ACL tear in September 2021 and had shoulder surgery in January 2022.

Houston Texans are now on the clock aNYone

 

[aNYone]

With the 33rd pick of the NT NFL Draft, the Houston Texans select...
Jalin Hyatt

We need some talent on the perimeter after we trade Cooks.

Strengths

• Top-end speed creates tension for defensive coordinators.
• Run game will see lighter boxes out of defense’s respect for his explosiveness.
• Tears into cushions and rockets past off-man coverage.
• Maintains spacing from physical coverage getting into the route.
• Runs focused vertical routes at crisp angles.
• Glides into acceleration mode at route stems to separate.
• Gets pitch-and-catch opportunities underneath against off-man.
• Finished second in FBS with 15 receiving touchdowns.
• Willing and effective as a perimeter blocker.

Weaknesses

• Scheme created a variety of free releases for him.
• Route tree somewhat limited.
• Lean frame, lacking in play strength.
• Knocked off course when press punch finds him.
• Lacks deception in his short and intermediate routes.
• Unsuccessful holding ground when catch is contested.

Indianapolis Colts are now on the clock elpablo21

 

[elpablo21]

And with the 35th pick of the NT NFL Mock Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select...

John Michael Schmitz, Guard, Minnesota

Summary:
With the Guard spot being the biggest question on the line and wanting to add some interior help for their new Quarterback CJ Stroud Schmitz will be a good piece to create more depth and competition to bolster the offensive line.

Strength:

• Solid athlete
• Quick out of his stances
• Fast to the 2nd level in the run game

Weakness:

• Length limitations (pause)
• Speed rushers can be a problem for him

 

[raider5]

With the 36th pick of the NT NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams select...

Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech

Summary:
Athletic big man offering scheme versatility and projectable upside. White has good short-area quickness as well as speed in space. He lacks consistent early phase technique to control the rep, but his recovery talent, hustle and athletic traits put him in position to get in on the action. His pass rush is predictable and lacks focus, but he’s bendy and could take a big leap forward in this department provided the coaching catches up with the physical gifts. He’s still in the developmental phase, but his physical/athletic profile gives him a chance to become a plus starter as a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive end.

Strength:

• Outstanding blend of size and athleticism.
• Traits and potential to play as odd- or even-front end.
• Sudden with his first hands into contact.
• Pursuit speed and short-area quickness to make plays.
• Gas in the motor and rallies through the block to the football.
• Possesses an exciting level of edge bend to cultivate.
• Able to bully tackles with his downhill power rush.

Weakness:

• Traits are there but still waiting on consistency.
• Can be slow to diagnose blocking scheme.
• Below average punch into full extension to control block.
• Has trouble shedding block with ideal upper-body twitch.
• Body control can be lacking through contact.
• Must craft go-to moves and learn to work his hands.

“You have to see him in person to get a feel for how he moves around for how big he is. Really athletic with a high floor. He’ll be a riser.” -- Personnel executive for AFC team
