NeverOutNick Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Enjoy my attempt at getting as close as possible to what actually happens round 1 of this 2023 NFL Draft. Go Bills 1. Carolina Panthers – Bryce Young - Good job Reich and company, you guys got the only QB worth a first round pick in this draft 2. Houston Texans – Will Anderson Jr. - Safest pick in the draft. Ryans will scheme him accordingly and build the defense accordingly. 3. TRADE!! Tennessee Titans – CJ Stroud - Vrabel gets one of his OSU alum to head up his offense 4. Indianapolis Colts – Will Levis - This just feels like the kind of dysfunctional pick this dysfunctional franchise/owner would make. New HC has a fun project 5. Seattle Seahawks – Jalen Carter - Best player in the draft and the right team to take a chance on his character concerns 6. Detroit Lions – Devin Witherspoon - They're tempted to trade up for Carter but get the best DB in the draft 7. Las Vegas Raiders – Anthony Richardson - See Colts above. Have fun McDaniels, you probably won't make it through the season anyways brother 8. Atlanta Falcons – Tyree Wilson - Ownership tempted to take Bijon but Arthur Smith convinces to take highest upside pass rusher in draft 9. Chicago Bears – Paris Johnson Jr. - Fields gets needed protection from another OSU alum 10. Philadelphia Eagles – Bijan Robinson - This is just scary right... 11. Arizona Cardinals – Nolan Smith - Cardinals like to take chances on high upside players and need pass rushing help now that JJ retired 12. Houston Texans – Hendon Hooker - Tempted to have Texans tank for Maye but went with my gut on this one...It's the Texans, who knows 13. Green Bay Packers – Peter Skoronski - Get some protection for the 1yr trial on Jordan Love. Tempted to trade back so they can get another 1st next year for Maye 14. New England Patriots – Zay Flowers - Just feels right that the Patriots take the only WR I'm excited for the Bills to get in this draft class 15. New York Jets – Broderick Jones - Jets will actually try and protect Aaron Rodgers 16. TRADE!! Jacksonville Jaguars – Darnell Wright - With Cam Robinson being potentially suspended for a significant amount of time, Jags trade up for OT 17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Christian Gonzalez - He takes a fall to a team that will get the most out of his insane athleticism 18. Detroit Lions – Calijah Kancey - DT is one of the few needs the lions have and get one of the best interior pass rushers in the draft 19. TRADE!! New York Giants – Jaxson Smith-Njigba - A team desperate for WR help for Daniel Jones gets the slot WR needed to help him take the next step 20. TRADE!! Buffalo Bills – Jordan Addison - I don't want this to happen but again just feels like what will...Hopefully we don't give up too much for our new #2 WR 21. Los Angeles Chargers – Dalton Kincaid - Keenan is getting older and no long term solutions at TE, Chargers get the best play making TE in the draft 22. Baltimore Ravens – Deonte Banks - Feels like a baltimore corner. He's got great instincts and is a local kid 23. Minnesota Vikings – Joey Porter Jr. - Not my favorite corner but he's physical and that's something this paper bag defense needs 24. Washington Commanders – Emmanuel Forbes - Ball Hawk! If he wasn't rail thin, he would be taken before Gonzalez imo 25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Lukas Van Ness - The fall ends here and the Bucs are excited to have this relent"ness" force on their line 26. Dallas Cowboys – Michael Mayer - Need fits BPA. You're welcome Dallas 27. Seattle Seahawks – John Michael Schmitz - Seattle always draft head scratchers but in this case they get the best interior lineman in the draft 28. Cincinnati Bengals – Bryan Bresee - Tempted to take Gibbs here but Bresee gives Bengals much needed interior help on the D line and his potential is sky high 29. New Orleans Saints – Myles Murphy - Rumors swirling about Saints loving Murphy and he slips to them at the end of round 1 30. Philadelphia Eagles – Brian Branch - C.J. Gardner-Johnson's replacement for years to come. Man Eagles are killing this draft... 31. Kansas City – Keion White - He can play all over the D line and was invited to the draft so...why not 1 Quote
