2023 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Four Quarterbacks in the First Round
Georgia and Alabama (no surprise) are well represented in our first look at how this year’s top prospects may get picked.
Five Georgia defenders were selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, and the Bulldogs’ defense yields three more first-rounders in my first swing at an early ’23 mock draft.
In other words, last year’s elite defense will have yielded eight combined first-round picks in back-to-back drafts if next year’s draft plays out that way.
Georgia will have an offensive player join his defensive counterparts, and I strongly considered a second offensive prospect, which would have given the Bulldogs five first-rounders in back-to-back drafts.
