The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and in our first 2023 Round 1 mock, they are gifted a talented player.

After a terrible 6-11 regular season, the Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. With plenty of holes on both sides of the ball, the Raiders are hoping the chips fall their way, especially after struggling to bring in key players in the first round over the last few drafts.

Here, we take a first look at what the first round could look like in 2023:

2023 NFL 1st Round Mock Draft: Raiders get a gift at No. 7 overall

1. player. 57. . Edge. Chicago Bears. Will Anderson

There are several different ways the Chicago Bears could go with this pick, and it will really all depend on how Ryan Poles feels about Justin Fields. Fields had a solid second season at the helm of this franchise, but there are question marks about him, and Poles was not the general manager who drafted him.

Here, the Bears stick with Fields and decide to bring in the best available player in this draft class in Will Anderson from Alabama. A tremendous edge rusher, Anderson is the kind of player Chicago can build their new-look defense around.
