Gavin Mock Draft 2023 -- Make your Picks here

THE PICK IS IN

 

The Packers' #1 need is Safety.  However, the best safeties in the draft are better tacklers than they are center fielders.  Their top rated player on their board was WR Smith-Njigba, but he's already been taken.

SO!

The Packers will reach a little down their draft board.  And take the guy whose massive footsteps rattled Lucas Oil Stadium during the combine.  Who lifted up not only the tackling bag, but the guy holding it, right off the ground, feet dangling.

 

With the 15th pick in the 2023 Gavin Mock Draft the Green Back Packers select

Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia

Good pick. David Bahktiari is always hurt.

[TomDiggs]

I am just waiting for the thumbs up since i know we skipped over the Pats and Jones just went to the Packers.

 

I will pick for the Commanders when you guys give me the thumbs up 

[VikingsFanInChennai]

@TomDiggs Washington Commanders on the clock

 

@stitches Pittsburgh Steelers up next 

[NFLfan]

Am I up to date yet, @TomDiggsj

I fixed it, I left Patriots shared in white. That will tell me we skipped them.

[TomDiggs]

Ok with the 1.16 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select....

Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois


He is probably my 1st rated CB or at least 1B to Gonzalez as 1A and the Commanders badly need help at cornerback.

 

Fit for both player and value in my opinion.

Patriots love secondary players to draft and Belichick loves drafting Saban players.

 

Brian Branch makes more sense here

Great pick! Fills a need and BPA. Surprised he fell this far.

He just doesn't like his quarterback running back to his old coach for answers.  ;D 

[NFLfan]

I'm getting the hang of it now. I think I am up to date. You all are doing a great job. Soon, we will pick a player for the Patriots

Not to mention McCourty retired

Maybe you will help us pick someone for the Pats. I know nothing about the Pats. Do they need a WR?

[danlhart87]

Who is OTC currently

They lost Jacobi Myers in FA. So a WR is a need. OT is the biggest need IMO.

Johnson from TCU available?

[NFLfan]

Sorry to keep you waiting. Stitches sent a list.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

@stitches are you here for Pittsburgh Steelers?

 

@Mike06181 up next for Detroit Lions

Yes they do but this WR class is just OK after Jaxon Smith in Round 1. I’d go Brian Branch

Steelers I think.

[Yoshinator]

Just now, runthepost said:

Yes he is. Only njigba went at WR so far.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

once @NFLfanpicks for Steelers and @stitches, I will pick for @Mike06181 Detroit Lions as he's sent a list too

 

@John Hammonds Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be up after that 

[NFLfan]

As per a PM from @stitches the Pittsburgh Steelers select

 

Joey Porter Jr, CB, Penn State

 

He is following in the footsteps of his dad   He was the 8th person on his list.

Funny how that happened. Stitches sent a list of 10 players. The top seven were already chosen.

 

He is a good player but I did not like his dad.

@Mike06181 left us? He was just here.

 

Edit: Mike is here. You can make your picks.

[John Hammonds]

I'll give him a little time to return.  It's not like the house is gonna burn down.

Agreed. We're all caught up now besides that though so it's running smoothly now.

With the 18th overall draft pick in 2023 Gavin's mock draft, Detroit Lions select 

 

Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas 

 

Per @Mike06181 order of preference. CBs he requested ahead are all taken.

I love this pick for the Lions. Team him up with DeAndre Swift, and you have a devastating duo. Great replacement for Jamaal Williams.

I wanted him for the Chargers. Did Ekeler get traded yet?

[John Hammonds]

Where do you keep your Buccaneers?

Under my buckin' hat!

 

THE PICK IS IN

 

With Bijan Robinson snatched up right in front of them, the Bucs had to consult for their greatest needs.

Corner is the biggest need.  But their left guard spot is just a traffic cone with a "help wanted" sign on it.

 

With the 19th pick in the 2023 Gavin Mock Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select

O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
