FIRST ROUND NFL Mock Draft:
1) Chicago Bears - Bryce Young, QB, Alabama Crimson Tide:
Some NFL Draft fans will be surprised to see the projection, but there's a possibility that the Chicago Bears could pull the switch at the QB position this off-season.
2) Houston Texans - CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State Buckeyes:
After the Davis Mills era, the Texans could pull the trigger at QB.
3) Arizona Cardinals - Will Anderson Jr., DE/OLB, Alabama Crimson Tide:
The Arizona Cardinals will stand pat and draft the top player in the 2023 NFL Draft.
4) Indianapolis Colts - Will Levis, QB, Kentucky Wildcats:
The Colts desperately need to find an answer at the QB position for the long term.
5) Seattle Seahawks - Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia Bulldogs:
Some will argue that Jalen Carter is the top talent in the draft. There's not much to argue otherwiser.
6) Detroit Lions - Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson Tigers:
The Lions could go in any number of directions here, but stay put and draft the top IDL available.
7) Las Vegas Raiders - Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson Tigers:
If the Raiders find their answer at QB before the draft, they will look at the trenches early and often.
8) Atlanta Falcons - Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech Red Raiders:
Tyree Wilson will open eyes around the NFL during the workout portion of the off-season.
9) Carolina Panthers - Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida Gators:
The Carolina Panthers have swung and missed too many times. They have to figure it out at the QB position.
10) Philadelphia Eagles - Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas Longhorns:
Don't be too dismissive, Philadelphia fans. The Birds have been connected to Christian McCaffrey on multiple occasions. The front office sees the value in a multi-purpose back.

12) Houston Texans - Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU Horned Frogs
