The 2023 NFL Draft is complete. Seven rounds, three days, numerous trades, two hundred and fifty six players chosen, and thirty-two teams with new players on their rosters. In my Mock Draft, I attempted to predict the first round, and of course I got it mostly wrong. It was fun to guess, but here’s how the first round really shook out:

2. Houston Texans – QB CJ Stroud, OSU
3. Houston Texans – EDGE Will Anderson, Alabama
4. Indianapolis Colts – QB Anthony Richardson, Florida
5. Seattle Seahawks – CB Devon Witherspoon, Illinois
