With the 2023 NFL draft just 1 day away it is time for my final mock draft! This is the most difficult mock I have had to do since covering the draft 10 years ago. This class is deep in certain areas, weaker in the top 20, has 5 potential NFL QBs and things could get wild with crazy picks and lots of trades. In this mock I have included trades and tried to match player to the team, on that note Let’s mock!
