2023 NFL mock draft: Raiders trade down twice in full first-round mock
Last season, the Minnesota Vikings were one of the more dominant teams in the NFC record-wise, but nobody expected them to do much in the playoffs. The defense really struggled at times, especially against the pass, which means Kelee Ringo should be able to go into that franchise and earn a starting job on Day 1.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a team that could be a power in the AFC for a long time, especially if Trevor Lawrence continues to improve the way he did last season. Picking at No. 24, Jacksonville turns their attention to the other side of the ball, and Utah’s Clark Phillips III fills an immediate void in their secondary.
What to do with Daniel Jones? New reports out suggest that the quarterback wants over $45 million a year, which seems a bit much considering he has only had one healthy and productive season in the NFL. With pick No. 25, they get Jones some help, selecting Tennessee star wideout Jalin Hyatt, who would instantly become the best wide receiver on the Giants roster.
With Tony Pollard entering free agency, and the franchise seemingly done with Ezekiel Elliott, the Dallas Cowboys roll the dice on University of Texas star running back, Bijan Robinson. Dallas has likely gotten a good look at him playing for the Longhorns, and in this draft class, he is by far the best player at his position group.
