2023 NFL Draft: The "Perfect GM" Mock Draft

2023-04-27T08:27:00.008-07:00

THORNHILL, ONTARIO -- It's finally here. Draft Day 2023. One of the best nights in all of sports (especially for fans of bad football teams), tonight 31 rookies will find their new homes, with the Carolina Panthers kicking things off. And to make the day even more sweet, I present you my annual "Perfect GM" Mock Draft. In this mock draft, each selection is chosen as if I were the GM of each team, based on my own evaluations throughout the process. As a result, this mock draft will look vastly different from most out there, including my Official 2023 Mock, which I released yesterday. The goal of this draft is to be able to look back a few years from now and say, you really should have been the GM for team X over Y!

Furthermore, I decided against implementing trades in this mock.

2023 NFL Draft: The Official Sports Corner Mock Draft

2023-04-26T10:14:00.008-07:00

THORNHILL, ONTARIO -- Welcome to the penultimate day of the Draft. With just over 30 hours remaining (at the time of publishing) until Roger Goodell announces this year's first overall pick, it's time for me to release my official 2023 Mock Draft.

While every year is tough to predict, something about the uncertainty of this season's version has made it harder than usual to predict. With four Quarterbacks hypothetically in play for the number one overall spot, the dominos the the decisions made by the teams picking at the top will be felt throughout the first round.

As is always the case with my official mock drafts, these are compiled based not on my own rankings, but rather, on all the information i've received throughout the process, with the goal of being as accurate as possible. This is unlike my "Perfect GM" mock, (dropping tomorrow), which is the how the first round would play out if I were the GM of each team making a selection.

I have also decided to go with no trades allowed in this mock, which of course, limits the accuracy possible. Nonetheless, I am excited to see how well this blog can do in 2023.

2023 NFL Draft: The Official Overall Top 150 Big Board (2.0)

2023-04-25T09:22:00.001-07:00

Thornhill, ON -- We continue #DraftWeek23 with the second drop, my official Top 150 Overall Big Board, which follows yesterday's Positional Big Board, which featured over 240 players.

As I remind my readers annually, my big boards, unlike my mock drafts, are purely based off of my own scouting evaluation. That means these rankings are solely my own personal rankings, and how I would shape my big board if I were an NFL GM (in a vacuum).

And as always, these rankings should be taken with a grain of salt. Rather than fixating on the number, look at the range and draft value I have. Being on the Top 150 means you have a real shot of becoming a difference maker in the NFL, so don't discount any of these names!

With the introduction out of the way, let's jump in.

2023 NFL Draft: Official Positional Big Board (2.0)

2023-04-24T10:42:00.003-07:00

Thornhill, ON -- Welcome to Draft Week 2023. With the NFL Draft less than five days away, its time to start revealing my final iterations of the 2023 NFL Draft rankings, starting with the positional Big Board. As always, these rankings are solely based on my own evaluations, which combine a number of elements, including film, intangibles, and more. While the 2023 class might lack top heavy talent, the depth is the story here. Fresh of Purdy mania, teams will be clamouring to find their own draft day gem, and with these rankings, I attempt to decipher this year's class. Stay tuned for the overall top 200 dropping tomorrow.

2023 NFL Draft: Overall Big Board (1.0) - The Pre-Combine Top 50

2023-02-06T10:28:00.004-08:00

Thornhill, ON -- After dropping my positional Top 10's yesterday, I know am excited to present you my initial Top 50 overall big board heading into the combine/private workout part of #DraftSZN. Much is still to change, especially as measurables come through, but this list should highlight some of the key players to keep an eye on throughout the Draft process.

Lastly, these rankings are meant to be a fun way of sorting some of the top players in the draft, but shouldn't be taken so definitively (especially at this juncture). It was tough to leave out some names from this initial T50 list, but they will have plenty of opportunity to join the future BB's and crack the Top 50 with a good showing the rest of the way.

With the introduction out of the way, let's jump in.

Too low on your favourite player? Let me hear it on Twitter.

2023 NFL Draft: Positional Rankings (1.0) - The Early Top 10s

2023-02-05T09:43:00.001-08:00

Thornhill, ON -- Welcome to Draft SZN 2023. With just one game remaining on the 2022 Season Calendar, all but two teams have fully shifted focus to the offseason. As always, the key to getting to the final game of the season is building through the draft. No matter what round or what pick, young players, now more than ever, are making substantial impacts to their teams (See Isaiah Pacheco, Brock Purdy).

As the 2023 Reece's Senior Bowl finishes up, I figured it was a great time to introduce you to some of the best prospects in this year's draft. While much is still subject to change (especially with the combine and official measurables coming soon), I would like to share with you my initial top 10 per position for the 2023 Draft.

Some overall draft thoughts and comments before digging in:

If you're looking for a franchise QB, the 2023 Draft might just be for you. With Four QBs ranked very highly on my board, there is a substantial opportunity for teams to improve at the position. While my list is sure to cause some controversy, I have Florida's Anthony Richardson as my top signal caller in the draft. Built like a linebacker at 6'4 232 lbs, Richardson possesses all the intangibles you could want in a QB prospect. Massive arm, massive size and strength, and blazing speed to boot in the mold of Cam Newton. While his accuracy surely needs work, any offensive coordinator should be drooling at the opportunity to get their hands on a guy like Richardson. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Alabama QB Bryce Young, who comes in as my #2 QB, despite his small frame (listed as 6'0 194 - which is likely generous). Despite his size, Young has the athleticism, arm, vision and accuracy to become on of the very best in the entire league. Now more than ever, teams are willing to take less prototypical players, and Young will almost surely be off the board within the first two picks. Beyond Richardson and Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis check the boxes as prototypical franchise QBs. Tennessee's Hendon Hooker and Stanford's Tanner McKee offer intrigue as well, as does Senior Bowl MVP Jake Haener. After a weak year of QB's, 2023 appears loaded with them.

However, after what seemed to be a historically deep run of WR draft classes, the 2023 class feels weaker than it has been in years. Led by TCU's Quentin Johnston, a monster size/speed prospect, the class still boasts a number of potential playmakers - it just isn't as top heavy as we have been used to seeing.

The same can't be said about the cornerback position, which once again appears loaded one year after giving us Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley, amongst other young studs. This year's class initially boasts five first round talents in my initial big board, and it's possible we even see four go inside the top 15.

Lastly, the Tight End position might be as deep as I could remember, led by one of, if not the best TE prospect i've scouted in the past 10 years in Notre Dame's Michael Mayer. A complete package at the position, Mayer (6'5 251) should be able to step in and immediate become a pro-bowl level player due to his blocking and pass catching ability.

The rest I will let you uncover. And of course, expect much to change from now until the 2023 NFL Draft. But until then, here's the scratch to your draft content itch.

2022 NFL Mock Draft: Official Sport's Corner Mock

2022-04-28T16:51:00.002-07:00

THORNHILL, ONTARIO -- We’ve made it! It's officially Draft Day 2022, and with that, I present you The Official Sports Corner Mock.

Some ground rules before we begin: If you've followed me on this blog before, this should be routine. If you are new, welcome. Unlike my Personal Big Boards, Mock Drafts are my attempt at best replicating what WILL happen on draft day, rather than what I THINK will happen. Therefore, players who appear higher on my Big Boards may not appear as high in my mock draft, and vice versa. Only my Personal Big Boards are a representation of my own personal evaluations, unless otherwise stated on my Mock draft post (My perfect GM mock, for example).

No trades allowed in this mock, which limits the accuracy possible. Nonetheless, I am excited to see how well this blog can do in 2022!

Think you can do better? Create your own mock draft and let me know your thoughts! Hit me up on TWITTER!

_________________________________________________________________

Round 1

_________________________________________________________________

1.Jaguars: Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

The Jaguars could go a number of ways here, but Walker offers a rare blend of size, speed and athleticism, while still only scratching the surface of his NFL potential. In a class without a clear-cut #1 pick, Walker makes sense here as an instant difference maker on a team that might surprise many next season.

2. Lions: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon

The draft gets interesting quickly this year, with the Lions holding a number of cards and options to play. Do they take a QB? Trade out? I believe they will try hard for the latter, but in a mock without trades, I have the Lions going with the pass rusher. Arguably the highest upside player in the class, the Lions seem enamoured with the former Oregon Duck, and his upside might just be a tad higher than that of Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson.

3.Texans: Aiden Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan

Longtime projected to be the first overall pick in the draft, Hutchinson could slip outside the top two in what is expected to be a wildly unpredictable draft. The Texans need more pass protection and are desperate for help in the secondary, but if Hutchinson is on the board, I don't see the Texans passing up on him, especially with another selection at 13 to address some other areas of concern. Plus, its not like the Texans pass rush is all that great, either. A strong pass rush will help the secondary.

4.Jets: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

The Jets hold two top 10 picks, and could elect to go a number of ways with the pick. With all OT's still on the board, it wouldn't shock me if they elected to go with one here, although picking Becton high two years ago might give them pause. Instead, I have them addressing the secondary. Long, smooth and athletic, "Sauce" has all the tools to blossom into one of the leagues best covermen, and. it shouldn't take much time.

5.Giants: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama

The Giants, who will surely be looking to shore up their offensive line, get their pick of the litter at #5. At 6'7 337 lbs, Evan Neal bring big time size to the Tackle position, and at just 21 years of age, Neal has had three years of starting for the best team in the country, and is still only realizing his potential.

6. Panthers: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty

The Panthers desperately need QB help, and while waiting for the 2nd round, or making a move via the trade market (Kaepernick?), taking one at #6 seems likely. Malik Willis is far from a finished product, but he offers intriguing upside. Ideally he develops for. ayear, but in Carolina, he might not have that chance.

7.Giants (via CHI): Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU

After landing a Tackle at #5, the Giants turn their attention to the defensive side. of the ball at 7, assuming they keep the pick. With the top pass rushers off the board, the Giants elect to shore up their secondary, landing a potential All-Pro in LSU's Derek Stingley Jr. Bold to say, but he's one of my favourite prospects in the draft, and grades out as my best corner since Jalen Ramsey.

8.Falcons: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

Garrett Wilson has been a commonly mocked player here, and for good reason, as the Falcons sorely lack playmakers, but I think the Falcons might elect to wait to address those needs in a relatively deep class. instead, the Falcons look to add their QB of the future in Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett.

9.Seahawks (via DEN): Ikem Ekonwu, OT, NC State

The Seahawks love to surprise during the draft, but if the chips fall this way in real life, I would see Seattle running this pick in to the Commissioner. Though he might be better suited inside, the NC State star is a mauler, and fits the mold as Seahawks-type player, while filling a big need.

10. Jets (via SEA): Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

After locking up their cornerback earlier with the 4th overall pick, the Jets elect to give 2nd year QB Zach Wilson a new toy. Wilson, at 5'11 183 brings a complete game to the wide receiver position, though he'll need to brush up/develop his route running if he want to become a true #1 in the NFL.

11.Commanders: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame

The Commanders could go a number of directions here, but with Kyle Hamilton unexpectedly slipping outside the top 10, while also filling a key need, seems like a solid choice. Questions about where he'll play are valid, as he's a bit of a S/LB tweener a la Isaiah Simmons, but he should be able to come and contribute somewhere on defense right away.

12.Vikings: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

With an upgrade necessary in the Vikings secondary, Trent McDuffie, a 3 year starter at Washington, makes a ton of sense. A lock down corner, McDuffie has the stuff to come in and compete right away, bring a natural feel to the game. He's fundamentally sound, tough and twitchy, and should be a day 1 starter.

13. Texans (via CLE): Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State

After landing their star pass rusher in Aidan Hutchinson at #3, the Texans find their man to play opposite Laremy Tunsil on the offensive line. Cross has few flaws in his game, and plays technically sound, though his lack of natural athleticism limits his abilities on what he can do. This is a day 1 starter and likely the start. of a long career.

14.Ravens: Jordan Davis, DL, Georgia

The Ravens had a disappointing 2021 after missing the postseason, and restoring the fear in their defense needs to be a key plan heading into this draft. Jordan Davis, one of the leaders on Georga's National Championship winning DL, is the type of player the Ravens like to target, and would be a great fit in the middle of the Ravens defensive line.

15.Eagles (via MIA): Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State

The Eagles might be tempted to take a WR here, but it's not as much a need as some might think, especially with DeVonta Smith in the fold. Instead, I think the Eagles will look to strengthen their defense, and Jermaine Johnson would be a rock solid selection at #15. The former Georgia Bulldog, Johnson shined during his time with the Seminoles and brings great size, speed and power off the edge. A plug and play option here.

16.Saints: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa

The Saints could use a new LT after losing Terron Armstead to the Dolphins in free agency, and the 6'7 325 lbs Trevor Penning could help soften the blow quickly. A rock solid Tackle, Penning plays a physical game while also strong technicalities. He has all the makings of a longtime pro, and comes ready to play from day 1.

Follow Zach On Twitter! (@Zach_Engel98)

17. Chargers: Zion Johnson, iOL, Boston College

Without any glaring needs, the Chargers should turn their attention to protecting their prized young QB. After selecting Rashawn Slater a year ago, the Chargers move inside this year, landing the rock solid Zion Johnson. Literally a rock, Zion Johnson plays the game tough and aggressive while staying disciplined, the traits you want from an Offensive Lineman. .

18.Eagles (via NO): Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

After landing Jermaine Johnson at #15, the Eagles continue to stockpile talent on the defensive side of the ball, this time adding an aggressive, hard hitting and physical linebacker in Devin Lloyd. Versatile to play across all three LB slots, Lloyd is the type of rock-solid tackler that teams desire in the middle of their defense, and he has the chance to be right in the conversation for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

19.Saints (via PHI): George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue

After securing their Tackle of the future at 16, the Saints turn their attention to their pass rush at #19 with Purdue's George Karlaftis. A hard-nosed, phsyical player, Karlaftis also possesses a relentless motor, that should help him evolve his game as he gets ready to take on NFL Tackles on a weekly basis.

20.Bears: Tyler Linderbaum, iOL, Iowa

The Steelers miss out on the top 2 QBs, so instead they decide to build within. Tyler Linderbaum is the top interior OL prospect in the draft, and is a plug and play guy at Centre, though he's versatile enough to play guard, too.

21.Patriots: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

The Patriots need to figure out a way to slow down the Bills and now Dolphins electric offenses. Adding a modern day-type line backer into the fold is a good start. Though his size will bring his ability to play regularly as a LB into question, same concerns were made about Devin Bush, Aaron Donald (at DT), and many others. If a team can find a way to make it work, the Pats seem like as good a bet as any.

22. Packers (via LV): Drake London, WR, USC

Though typically not #OnBrand of the Packers to select a WR in the 1st, with a bunch of talented playmakers sliding, they almost have no choice. Jameson Williams is tempting, but his injury leaves a bit of question marks. Meanwhile, London, at 6'3 220, brings good speed to add to his ideal size. Throw in the fact he's only 20, and has been dominating at USC for a couple of seasons, the sky is the limit for London in the NFL. Especially with a QB like Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball. After trading Davante Adams to the Raiders, London will be relied on heavily early and often.

23.Cardinals: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

Kyler Murray wants more weapons, so Kyler will get more weapons. With Jameson Williams sliding to 23 unexpectedly, the Cardinals pounce. A speedster with mouth-watering upside when healthy, Williams could play inside and out, and would be a natural replacement for the recently departed Christian kirk, until eventually stepping into the WR1 shoes currently filled by DeAndre Hopkins.

24.Cowboys: Kenyon Green, iOL, Texas A&M

The Cowboys have a Super Bowl-caliber roster, but simply can't seem to win when it matters most. No longer a strong-suit to their roster, the offensive line could use an upgrade. Kenyon Green is likely an interior player at the next level, but he's versatile enough to play guard, and plays the game tough. While it might be a bit of a reach, restoring the offensive line might be the key to the Cowboys ultimately getting over the hump this year.

25.Bills: Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State

The 2022 Super Bowl favorites lack any real specific need, though they could certainly use a true three-down back. Michigan State's Kenneth Walker III is intriguing, but Breece Hall seems to be the better fit. First round running back seldom pan out as a good idea, but Hall should provide instant production to the Bills backfield.

26. Titans: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

The Titans are suddenly once again thin at the WR position, with not much offering promise behind A.J. Brown, who also has questions about his future in Tennessee. The Titans will need to address the position multiple times during the draft, likely starting here at 26. Burks (6'2 225) is a prototypical size/speed WR that draws comparison's to A.J. Brown. His sure hands and competitiveness make him a potentially special player.

27. Buccaneers: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michgan State

With Tom Brady officially back, the Bucs will once again be all-in. With Ronald Jones now in KC, don't be surprised if the Bucs take the electric, three-down stud in Kenneth Walker III. Ready to be an instant contributor on the field, Walker would bring a big boost to the offense right away, while being able to help shape the future of the team once Brady does decide to step away.

28.Packers: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

Would the Packers seriously consider double dipping at WR in the first round? Probably not, although Olave and London are great comparisons, with the former being more of a route runner/slot WR, while the latter plays the typical outside WR role. Olave's game should help him translate relatively quickly, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he quickly became Rodger's new favourite target.

29.Chiefs (via SF): Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

After (likely) losing Tyran Mathieu in free agency, the Chiefs will need to find his replacement. Already facing several concerns in that department, this selection likely goes from a possibility, to a necessity. Hill is a versatile playmaker in the secondary, and can play Cornerback as well as Safety, though his future in the NFL is likely at S.

30.Chiefs: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State

Double dipping in the secondary would not surprise me one bit, in fact i even predicted it in my Perfect GM mock, though I do think WR is more likely here. The Chiefs aren't afraid to go off the board, and North Dakota State's Christian Watson is a name to keep an eye on, thanks to his blazing 4.36 40 time at 6'4 210 lbs. He's raw, but his upside is as big as anyone's in this draft, and Kansas City is likely his best place to reach that potential.

31.Bengals: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson

The AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals enter the draft riding high, but know they need to continue to build if they want to remain on top. Improving their secondary is likely a priority. If Clemson's Andrew Booth Jr. slips to 31, a possibility thanks to questions surrounding his health, the Bengals should pounce.

32.Lions (via LAR): Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

After landing their star pass rusher at #2 in the draft, the Lions close out the draft by adding a weapon for QB Jared Goff. Dotson, a sure-handed and electric WR, should be able to come in and contribute right away, joining last year's draft steal Amon Ra St. Brown.

2022 NFL Draft: The "Perfect GM" Mock Draft

2022-04-28T13:33:00.001-07:00

THORNHILL, ON -- Welcome to Draft Day 2022! With that, I present you my annual "Perfect GM" Mock Draft!

As opposed to my normal Mocks, which are designed to be as predictive as possible to the real event, my "Perfect GM" instead puts me in the decision-making chair for all 32 NFL Franchises, leaving the choice of who to select solely up to me. That means I get to use my personally constructed Big Board and make my own choices, absent the influence of the scouting department, Head Coach, Assistant GM, or Owner.

Think you can do better? Create your own mock draft and let me know your thoughts! Hit me up on TWITTER!

2022-04-27T09:14:00.006-07:00

Thornhill, ON -- We are officially just a little more than 24 hours away from the start of the 2022 NFL Draft. With multiple teams expected to make multiple picks in the first round, including the Jets and Giants with two picks inside the top 10 each, this is shaping up to be one of the more unique and intriguing in the decade. Depth is the name of the game this year, though there are several blue chip prospects teams will jockey to position themselves to land.

Much like last year, COVID-19 has made tracking and compiling more difficult than a normal year, but nonetheless I have once again given my best crack at compiling the top 200 players in this years draft, based solely on my own research, grading and opinion. Seven players have earned a Top 10 grade or better, which exceeds last year's number of five, while 27 total players earned a flat first round grade or better. More than 70 prospects grade in the 3rd-4th round range, once again showing off the tremendous depth the NFL Draft will offer teams.

As I always caution, use these rankings not as a definitive list, but rather a sorting of range for players and positions. The grading formula is not a perfect science, but is one that I have grown and adapted since starting my NFL Draft journey over 12 years ago.

With the introduction out of the way, let's jump in.

2022 NFL Draft: The Official Positional Rankings (1.0)

2022-04-26T15:34:00.002-07:00

Thornhill, ON -- Draft Week 2022, one of the best on the NFL calendar (especially for fans of perennial losers), is finally here. With the nitty-gritty scouting and sorting in the rear-view, NFL teams are finally ready to welcome the newest difference makers for their franchises starting Thursday night and throughout the weekend.

My approach, as I do annually, is to be able to use my own board and operate in an NFL Draft as if I was the General Manager of an NFL team. After months of compiling, sifting and reviewing, I am confident with my rankings and excited for Draft day.

Some overall draft thoughts and comments before digging in:

Like last year, the top end of the draft lacks some massive firepower, but does have a number of instant difference makers ready for to find. their new homes. However, with less than 30 first round grades given, the key to attacking a draft like this is to be successful in the middle and later rounds. That means identifying the deepest and shallowest position pools and figuring out a plan and pivot around each one. The WR, OT and EDGE rusher positions feature the greatest amount of depth, while the QB position and the TE offer slim pickings early and often. Liberty's Malik Willis offers intriguing upside, but he's far from a finished product and is certainly no sure thing. Kenny Pickett might be more pro-ready, and is coming off a tremendous senior season at Pitt, where he broke Dan Marino's single season passing TD record, and leaves the school holding the record for almost all major passing statistics. Will either QB see their name called inside the first round, or even the top 10? Could it be a surprise player instead?

If you're a franchise with the need for a pass rusher, you're in luck. The Edge rusher position offers exciting options at the top of the draft, with plug and play guys like Michigan's Heisman runner up Aidan Hutchinson, or Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux, who oozes with potential. Georgia's National title winning defensive line will be called early and often, likely led by EDGE Travon Walker, an athletic freak and former basketball star who is still just scratching the surface of his football potential. Despite the top end talent at this position, there is also substantial depth this year's edge class is deep with more than 15 players earning 4th round or better grades.

The Cornerback position offers a solid amount of depth as well, while also possessing some of my favourite players in the entire draft. While Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner has garnered most of thee attention as the top corner in the class (elite size/speed combo), and for good reason, Derek Stingley Jr. ranks out as my top corner, and grades out as of the best cornerback prospects i have scouted in the past ten years. Still just 20 years old, Stingley Jr. has the size/speed combo you love to see, while also have plenty of experience guarding some of the best players in college. Frequenting against Ja'Marr Chase in practice at LSU as a Freshman a two years ago (and winning often), Stingley Jr. was regarded as one of the best freshman defensive players in recent memory. His play and stock has cooled since as has his production, but he is undeniably a natural at the position, and he grades out as my best cornerback prospect since Jalen Ramsey. Another name to keep an eye out for is UTSA's Tariq Woolen, who at 6'4 205, ran a ridiculous 4.26 and offers mouthwatering upside. Expect to see a run on corners at some point in the middle rounds.

Offensive Tackle is another strong position in this draft, with four players earning a Top 25 grade or better (the most of any group). But enough with the spoilers. Let's dive into the rankings.
