Three Round NFL Mock Draft with Trades | First Round | 2023 NFL Draft

[@1funkylionsfan913]

I don't mind the extra 3 and 4 but I think I'd personally rather just have a 2nd . And I do not think they pick okudah's 5th year and I do think they draft 2 CBs this draft

[@teej11]

And that easily could be the compensation! I really dig Mockdraftdatabase.com but the pick to pick trades are just a bit off. And I'm with you on both Okudah and drafting two CBs! I still really believe in Okudah, think this could be his breakout year

I love Bijan to Philly at 10. I've been thinking that for a while. Luxury pick, take a luxury piece. Idk if Howie does it though. I used to hate WR to NE, but the more NE 7 round mocks I do, the more I like WR-specifically QJ-in the 1st. Lots of tackle, edge, IOL depth in later rounds. They've got 6 picks in the first 4 rounds. I like filling out those other position groups later, where there just aren't as many WRs in later rounds.

[@teej11]

Totally agree on all of those points!!

I hope we don't draft him at all. We need to upgrade defense with some guys leaving. Get a rb in the second round. Howie shouldn't waste that pick on robinson. It will be a waste.

As a Seahawks fan, I love this mock draft. Always very thorough and knowledgeable, man. Always love your videos. I think these 2 picks make a lot of sense. Pete loves to prioritize his defense. I’m not so high at 20 though. I love the value that Joey Porter Jr brings to the table, but like you said, things change sometimes and what I see is John and Pete taking O’Cyrus Torrence out of Florida. The dude is a mammoth and the best G of this draft class. We’ve got Lucas and Cross at tackle. Both will get better with time. I think Blythe and Jackson will be gone and having Torrence there on the inside of the offensive line just makes it better for running the ball and play action. Torrence would right away help us get that run game going, but I really like Porter at 20 too. Not sure how I feel about Wilson at 5. Just like you, I feel iffy about both, Murphy and Wilson. Both are phenomenal players, but the more I watch games, highlights, and other scout reports and I have yet to see a full game where I saw either player dominate. Something tells me that after Anderson and Carter are gone, the drop-off value of players is incredible. I do see them trading down to acquire more picks. Keep up the good work buddy 👏🏻🙌🏻

[@teej11]

Appreciate the love!! And thanks for leaving a comment with your thoughts! Yeah Murphy and Wilson are both really good players, but something about taking them at 5 that I'm not crazy about. Then at 20, I can totally see Torrance being the pick there. That's very Seattle and it would address an area of need. I do go IOL in tomorrow's video but could totally see IOL and CB picks being flipped!

[@jayrah33]

In this particular mock, Torrence is off the board at 15, so he's not an option.

This is literally a perfect first round for my Lions. Trade down? Check. Best QB in the draft? Check. 2nd best interior lineman? Check. I would also love Calijah Kancey at 18 too.

I am a Seahawks fan and also a Penn State fan so normally you might think I might want Joey Porter Junior but I watched Penn State games and I can not remember a single game where I was overly impressed with JPJ. He gets no INT's.. He does not jump routes.. Can you direct me to 1 single game where JPJ shined to make me believe he is a first round Corner? I just do not see it and I want Seattle to win. Tyree Wilson is a waste of a pick at 5. A Big 12 defender like we didn't make that mistake with Jordyn Brooks who can tackle but cant cover and plugs no gaps in the run game.

I get where you're coming from! And Seattle and the CB conversation is shaping up to be one of the major conversations of the offseason IMO.

Witherspoon is my CB1 (as of now) so I'd really dig it! He's a man-press CB to me though, so maybe Christian Gonzalez fits better in Seattle. Then again, draft good players, figure out the rest later so if Witherspoon is their CB1, make it happen! I also would really like them to trade back from 5, and depending on the QBs available there, they could get a hefty bag for it!

[@travisschwaller6386]

As a Bengals fan, approve with No TE in 1 and actually going OT. But I personally disagree with the OT target. With who you still had available, they likely would go with Dawand Jones or Darnell Wright. Both are better at RT and both fit a gap running scheme. Jones takes forever to go around and Wright has good technic. Also, Williams will be the starting LT unless someone already on the roster just outplays him over the offseason. Mike Brown for sure isn't letting a rookie replace a $13M player unless he has to, plus Collins injury was late and he didn't look like himself before it anyways.

[@teej11]

I can totally see it! I have Harrison ranked higher than those two, but form a Cincy perspective, it's easier to move on/find a new spot for Collins vs Williams bc of the money they're due this year. And in that case, I like both Wright and Jones, think I'd lean Wright personally! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the pick!

WR prospect, IOL (if any actual day 1's that are worth taking are left) and if by some miracle Bijan Robinson is around, I would take him for best available and utilize him as an actual reliable power back.

Offense needs help much more this offseason.

[@teej11]

@@maybecole I like the idea of Benford sliding to safety! I agree on Bijan too, I think he goes top half of the first, but if he's there I think they should make it happen! I also think Bijan is capable of playing 30-40% of his snaps in the slot (depending don't he need for it ofc). And for IOL, I think Torrence could make it there, and if it does, makes a ton of sense for a Saffold upgrade

[@maybecole]

@@teej11 Yes, I agree. If Torrence is there it's a no brainer. I think Bills have value in the players they have drafted like Rousseau and others, they just need to develop and get increased reps. There are holes we can fill on Defense but that could also be done with free agents or trades. (Phillips comes to mind)

[@friendsofjeremy]

I do not buy GB taking TE in the 1st. In 20+ yrs, they have only taken OT and QB for offensive players in the 1st. I don't see them breaking that trend. Nolan Smith. You were on that earlier also, I think that's the right pick for them.

[@teej11]

Just need more speed in the middle of the field! And I do go CB with the next pick, I know a lot of Vikings fans want some secondary reinforcements

[@jayrah33]

If Porter can improve his ball skills, he has all pro written all over him. While I have become enamored in the past week or so with offense or Simpson at 20, taking Porter or Gonzo makes a ton of sense as well, if available. You look at the offenses in the West and there is some credence to the understanding that CB is just as important as DL. Giving up 3rd down conversions via the pass was a real issue this year. It is most likely in this draft that the Hawks address DL with the 1st pick. Rocking-up the secondary could be next, with the value at DL not quite there at 20. And don't give me the argument that Pete doesn't draft CB that high. There are too many factors in play. If one of the top 3 is available, Pete should and will be salivating at the thought of working with the elite talent and athleticism that they bring to the table, just like he did with Earl Thomas at 16 back in the day. The opportunity is there to complete an absolute all star secondary in this mock, so the pick is beautiful for the Hawks. Consider that Woolen today would go by the end of round 1 in last year's draft. I think the league learns and Brents and Kyu Blu Kelly go by the 3rd round and a Woolen type won't be available for SEA in day 3.

[@teej11]

I couldn’t say it any better myself! Also with that type of CB pairing, Bryant in the spot and those safeties, good luck passing over the top against Seattle. And that in turns elevates the pass rush production!

[@jayrah33]

@@teej11 yep I think you bring up a very underrated point that waaay too many people ignore or simply don't understand. Teams didn't really go deep very often against the Hawks, it was in the underneath to intermediate game that they got smoked. When the QB can't throw it immediately, the pass rush has time to get there. The other thing is that SEA has a decent pass rush. It's not elite by any means, but it's not bad. Nwosu and Taylor had successful seasons as pass rushers. With an elite secondary that means 1-1.5 more seconds to rush the passer. Throw in a couple big additions at DL like Wilson (since you picked him here at 5).... it could actually become a legit pass rush.

[@jamesvalvis1131]

Nobody, and I mean nobody, is even close to ET in this draft. And he was drafted as a safety, which PC/JS clearly value more than CB. Which is why they gave up 2 firsts and a 3rd for Adams, something they never even came close to for a CB. But let the rest of the teams reach for a CB. Better options for us then in other positions. We had the NFL's worst rushing defense. Tell me how another corner fixes that. Especially losing Poona and possibly Al Woods? Jeez, Cobe Bryant should be better as a Sophomore. Tre Brown is there. Michael Jackson can be resigned. Are you just giving up on them? Why?

There is a thread in the Seattle media that Seattle is going to trade up... they have the second most draft capital in the top 100 (behind the Texans) and they could potentially trade their top 3 picks (per the draft chart, that would be equal value) keeping their natural 2nd rounder, to move up to #1... So Bryce Young maybe?

[@teej11]

I want Seattle to take a QB of the future and if I had to guess, Young would be their QB1 so I'd love to see it happen! If they did make that move, I'd have to assume they're letting Geno walk 👀

@@teej11 Seattle offered Geno 3 years at $90 mil and he turned it down... maybe its a term thing? But that's when the rumors started because other teams that want a QB that's going to produce next year are going to draw up the price tag on Geno... so it's not a guarantee that he comes back... if he does, Anthony Richardson would be sweet.

[@teej11]

@@kmhill9959 In my perfect world (admittedly as a non-Seattle fan) trading back from 5 to either 7, 8 or 9 and then taking AR to sit for a year behind Geno is the way to have the best of both worlds!

[@jayrah33]

If Geno ain't in, that changes all priorities. Do not... and I repeat... DO NOT SETTLE FOR LEVIS. If that happens, go get #1 to take Young and do it asap so that everything is set up and nobody else can jump the spot. Do what it takes, short of giving up 20 this year. No way you give up 20 AND 37. Instead, swap for 5 and give up 37, 153 and your '24 1st rounder (maybe try and get a pick swap for a 3rd or something for that 1st rounder). In that case the Bears will still get either Anderson or Carter, with the Hawks, Texans and Colts taking QB. So CHI should be very interested in this move still. Then SEA should use free agency to really attack defense with what would have been Geno money. If you stick at 20, go get Young another weapon; Bijan, Mayer or Smith-Njigba, in that order, based on availability. - Bijan gives you McCaffrey versatility and another home run threat alongside Walker. -Mayer gives you a reliable and dangerous stretch-vertical passing threat at TE. - JSN gives you a truly polished route runner who is the most naturally gifted space finder available in the draft. Any of these would be a major help to a young QB. If they are gone or a great move down presents itself at 20, recoup some picks and take Torrence or Michael-Schmitz to shore up the OL. Then look to add Downs or Dell. Still a lot to be worked out, but I think if you're forced to go get a young QB you gotta build around him first.

[@jayrah33]

@@kmhill9959 disagree on AR15. I hate it. If Geno comes back, it's at 3+ years. In which case there is time to figure out future QB options. If he doesn't come back, AR is the worst possible option for a team fully capable of going and getting the top guy in the class who is ready now and would almost assuredly be an 8+ year starter. It's gotta be Young in my opinion. But I would accept Stroud if the team has him ranked higher.

[@andrewcroken7072]

As an Eagles fan, since Tom Brady retired for good after his 23rd season, the Buccaneers can either sign Derek Carr who's leaving the Raiders or the Buccaneers can draft Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL Draft as their new starting QB in 2023 next season. Anthony Richardson can be an perfect fit for the Buccaneers since he has the ability to throw passing TDs and run rushing TDs so the team will definitely go for him anyway in the 2023 NFL Draft so Anthony Richardson would be an better choice than Derek Carr as the starting QB for the Buccaneers in 2023 next season. So the Buccaneers will choose Anthony Richardson over Derek Carr anyway. An QB is an need for the team since Tom Brady announced his retirement after his 23rd season.

[@teej11]

And I'm totally with you, I think those are QB options for Tampa that are the most interesting. I think they might trade vets and roll with Trask to get to the top of the 2024 board, but idk if they really want to do that as soon as Brady leaves. Can totally see them using Carr or AR to see what the team looks like for a year in the post-Brady era

[@jamesvalvis1131]

All right, Teej. Let me explain it to you more clearly because you are just religiously committed to this idea that the Seahawks will draft a corner in the 1st despite never doing so in 12 drafts. Never even drafting one in the 2nd. Only drafting 1 in the 3rd (Shaq Griffin) in 12 years of drafting. It's incredible that with needs all over the place, you think this is the year that pattern not only breaks but is *shattered.* Literally 70 picks earlier than any corner we've ever drafted-- when we have the position pretty much handled. You said in a previous video that if ever there was a year we were going to draft a CB it would be this one. Wrong. If anything, last year was that year. We had nothing at the position. We didn't have the DROY candidate there, or a guy named after Kobe, or a guy who can do a moonwalk who probably gets resigned. We had an injured Tre Brown (whom we still have) and garbage behind that. And we *still* didn't reach for a corner. (Although there were rumors that if Sauce or Stingley fell to 9 we would take them. But they didn't, so we'll never know. It was at least plausible-- last year.) This is a deep class. We could easily spend a 3rd on a CB and make out fine. But no matter who we pick at corner, none of it will fix our last place run defense. Teams won't be able to throw much on us, but they won't need to. They'll just run it down our throats. Like Carolina and SF did. More history. Here's a little primer for you. Richard Sherman: 5th Round Byron Maxwell: 6th Round Brandon Browner: Calgary Stampeders Shaq Griffin: 3rd Round Tariq Woolen: 5th Round Justin Coleman: 7th Round trade Jeremy Lane 6th Round Walter Thurmond: 4th Round Save the last two, who were marginal starters/backups (although Lane was the best gunner in the NFL), all of these played at a Pro-Bowl level or made big-money contracts after leaving Seattle. Or both. And this doesn't even consider other late round secondary gems, like Kam Chancellor in the 5th or Quandre Diggs for a 5th and 7th trade. Oh, one more thing. The Seahawks don't really have a "type" at corner. What they have is a philosophy. They go after whatever the League is undervaluing. So, when Carroll first came in the League, they were undervaluing tall corners, (and shorter QBs like Wilson and power RBs bell cows like Lynch) and so they found those bargains and made them superstars. Now they are undervaluing shorter CBs, which is why they are drafting less tall corners like Tre Brown and Cobe Bryant. We're not taking a corner in the first round. It's not happening. So, the question is: Do you want to stick to your guns? Or do you want to be right?

[@teej11]

I’m sticking to it because the fit to me make the defense, and secondary specifically the scariest it can be. But I know where you’re coming from and I respect it. If I were to make a prediction tho, I’ve been anticipating Shaq Griffin to be cut from Jacksonville and then Seattle will bring him back to be the other boundary CB. Then that will have me go IOL or LB at 20, then take a corner on day 3, as you noted they typically do. Thoughts on that prediction?

[@jamesvalvis1131]

@@teej11 Maybe, but it could also be that Griffin is done. I've not paid enough attention to Griffin after he left, but it's possible he got paid and lazy. Or is just too injured to keep on going. Anyway. You have to realize that PC believes he could take your mother and make her a serviceable NFL CB. And every year there are dozens, if not scores, of young players who *could* work out if given the right coaching and opportunity. Which is why we've had so many projects like Artie Burns, Tre Flowers, and Sidney Jones. They don't always work out, but that's not important for our purposes. What matters is that's how the Seahawks do business. Always. No exceptions in 12 years of evidence. I'll be shocked if it changes this year and you've given me zero reason or evidence it will other than you personally find it aesthetically pleasing to have a scary defensive backfield and almost no one on the d-line under the age of 30, crappy and injured LBs, no true or signed or healthy RB depth, a far weaker WR3 prospect than we might have, no QB of the future, expensive TEs, and just garbage at guard opposite Lewis and another year of no decent center which has been the case since we traded Unger for Graham. For example, I assure you if Richardson is available at 15, we trade up to get him rather than let him fall to TB's pick. Your other picks thus far have not been terrible--Avila is good, although I prefer drafting a center to a guard or even a T and maybe kicking Abe Lucas to RG, but whether or not Shaq Griffin plays another down, Seattle is still not taking a CB in the first round. Or maybe, to be clear, *any* round. Unless another Woolen falls into our laps late.

[@jamesvalvis1131]

​@@teej11 But you did ask me what we would do with the pick. And well, I don't entirely know. It really depends on 1) what we pick at 5/trade back and 2) how the board falls. I don't like, for instance, taking Wilson at 5. And I think there's little chance they do it. But if they do it, then it's imperative that you take DT at 20. One possible exception would be, as I said in the last response, a trade-up to get a QB that has fallen. I'll add another later. These are my scenarios at 5. 1. Either Carter or Anderson is available. Result: take him. (If both are available, which is very unlikely, take Carter-- despite the rumors of character issues.) 2. Carter and Anderson are gone, and so are two QBs, but you like one that remains. Result: Take the QB. 3. Carter and Anderson are gone, and so are all the QBs you like. Result: trade back to someone desperate for a QB. 4. Carter and Anderson are gone, and so are all the QBs you like and you can't trade back to someone desperate for a QB. Result: Take BPA. This might be Wilson, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won't be. It will be someone off the radar. And I cannot ignore the fact that Bijon Robinson sits there as good a RB prospect as any since Adrian Peterson. You talk about a scary defensive backfield for Seattle. How about the scariest one-two RBs to go with DK and Lockett? If your defense is going to suck (and it will no matter the draft), then win with Geno and the offense until you can figure it out on defense. Depending on how that all goes will depend on how I pick at 20. But what makes the most sense, is that because of trades either Anderson or Carter is chosen at 5, and then you fill the opposite position if Anderson is chosen, or, if Carter, hit the d-line again at 20. I love Kancey, if he's there. If Carter fell to us, Will McDonald IV just kinda screams Seahawks. John Michael Schmitz is also an option here. As is Drew Sanders. And if he somehow slips, Mayer. Those would be my top guys at 20. (Although I see a lot of mocks-- not yours!-- that stupidly have Robinson falling to 20, and if that's the case...You don't pass up that kind of talent. I don't care about the position or need.) WR3 is an option there as well. So, if Johnston falls. Possibly Addison. And even though I don't love him as much as others, Zay Flowers. If they take a corner, though, I may jump out a window.

[@jamesvalvis1131]

​@@teej11 TJ, I'm going to make one final point and then shut up. There is no such thing as a "luxury pick." The Seahawks traded away their franchise QB, a top 5 player in team history, to rebuild a roster that was utterly depleted and broken. We forget all this because Geno was so good and Wilson so bad in Denver. But the fact is that we were still a team that snuck into the playoffs on a tie-breaker after beating a QB-less Jets and the Rams' practice squad twice (barely). Then got our asses wiped off the planet by Mr. Irrelevant. We don't have anything close to a luxury pick. All of our draft capital is vital to us moving forward. And even a team like Philly, who seems so close to a complete roster and is in the SB, I'll remind you that the Rams just won one last year. And look at them now... House money? No such thing. Besides, as I already made clear in my posts, you don't have to justify anyone picking Robinson. He is one of only three clear probable generational talents in the draft.

Seahawks would probably trade back if Stroud/Young/Carter/Anderson is off the board and wait on 1 of Wilson/Murphy/Bresee at 7 or 9. They were in the top 1/3rd of the league in sacks and that’s with heavy Bruce Irvin use, Mafe not getting substantial PT, and 5th rd pick Tyreke Smith being injured all last season. The Darrell Taylor late season breakout bodes well for next season. And yes. The Porter pick is gonna get hate because it bucks history and logic with IOL, DL, and MLB being much bigger needs. Seahawks have a CB1, NB, FS, and SS already locked up, finding a CB2 is such a needles luxury when Pete made his name by developing middle-late rd DBs in his NFL career.

[@teej11]

I think Torrence could totally be the move at 20 to fill that IOL need! I’m also interested in Shaq Griffin bc I think he gets cut from Jacksonville and I can see Seattle bringing him back to be the CB2. And I like trading back from 5 too, just need the dance partner to make that move!

If that's how the draft starts off for the Bears Poles should fire himself. Why in the world trade down 1 spot for pick 33 when you can probably trade down with Indy and get probably this year and next year's 1st and 2nd rd picks at least and still probably land Carter at 4? The only reason to trade down to 2 is if you're then going to trade down again. Otherwise they're just leaving a ton of capital on the table considering Indy's 1st next year might be a top 5 pick again. If Poles trades down and doesn't come out of the draft with at least one future 1st then something went terribly wrong for the Bears.

That's fair!! Mockdraftdatabase.com is great so a lot, but the pick to pick swaps are quite on point. And I've heard draft compensation vary so much for each team rumored to be in on #1, so I'm just hoping this trade happens sooner rather than later so it ends the speculation!
