As NFL Conference Championship Weekend nears, there are four teams currently waiting in the balance on draft position. Kansas City, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, but none of their fanbases are even thinking about the draft.. their eyes are deadset on the Phoenix sunlight, beaming in from the West! Before I make the trek south to Mobile, Alabama with The Podfather, Alex Dunlap, and The Trashman, and across the country to see Dario in Phoenix for Super Bowl week, I am dropping in to bring you the second iteration of my 2023 NFL Mock Draft Series. As in 2022, the Mock Draft Series will add one round per iteration with Mock 8.0 coming the night before the 2023 NFL Draft, Live from Kansas City. This mock is built on research done across media in an attempt to hit on the 31 players that are expected to be drafted in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. Picks will change, players will progress and regress and Teams will trade between now and April, but we will continue to build.
