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

19. player. 48. . Cornerback. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kelee Ringo

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a big decision to make in terms of the quarterback spot this offseason, and could very well select Anthony Richardson here at No. 19 overall. However, they also have big needs on defense, and after drafting Kyle Trask in the second round last year, they give him his shot and add cornerback Kelee Ringo in the first round this April.

. Cornerback. Seattle Seahawks. Cam Smith. 20. player. 36

The Seattle Seahawks are another NFC team in great shape this offseason, as they made the playoff this past year, and hold two first-round picks. With this selection, Seattle turns the focus to the defensive backfield, adding Cam Smith to a defense that already added an excellent edge rusher in Myles Murphy earlier in round one.

Miami Dolphins. Forfeited Pick. 21. player. 59. . N/A

Miami Dolphins have a forfeited pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft

. Linebacker. Los Angeles Chargers. Trenton Simpson. 22. player. 13

The Los Angeles Chargers have big decisions to make with the salary cap, and there is a good chance that the likes of Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen could be gone. If that is the case, Trenton Simpson, one of the best linebackers in this draft class could come in and fill the role left by Mack as a rookie.
