2023 NFL Draft Late-Round Targets If Teams Miss on Household Names

NFL teams don't always want or get the chance to spend high-end draft assets on premium prospects. Sometimes, they decide to act like the rest of us and go bargain shopping.

The likes of Alabama's Will Anderson Jr. and Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Paris Johnson Jr., Notre Dame's Michael Mayer and Illinois' Devon Witherspoon can land in only one spot each. So the other organizations must look elsewhere.

While those mentioned will be hard to replicate, a few of the other highly regarded prospects may be less so. A franchise doesn't necessarily need to invest highly in someone when others can bring similar skill sets, athletic traits or scheme fits.
