2023 Full first-round NFL Mock Draft: Raiders stay put at No. 7 overall

The big name that has dominated headlines for the Green Bay Packers this offseason has been Aaron Rodgers, and whether or not he will be their QB1 for the 2023 season. Whether it is Rodgers or Jordan Love, the truth is, Green Bay needs more playmakers, and they get the best tight end in this draft class in Michael Mayer here.

The Washington Commanders are officially calling it Sam  Howell time in our nation’s capital, as Ron Rivera stated this week that the former fifth-round pick will start the offseason as QB1. For Howell to succeed, he needs more help along the offensive line and gets some by the team drafting a dominant tackle in Broderick Jones from Georgia.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a solid spot going forward with Kenny Pickett as their quarterback, now, they have to fix some of the bigger issues on the roster. The defensive backfield was atrocious at times last season, and Devon Witherspoon from Illinois is a talented cornerback who could start on Day 1.

At the end of the regular season, the Detroit Lions were one of the best teams in the NFC and barely missed out on the playoffs. With two first-round picks, they bolster the defensive side of the ball, adding Bryan Bresee along the defensive line after selecting cornerback Christian Gonzalez in the top 10.
