2023 NFL Mock Draft April 11

Date:

The NFL season is over, so it is time to look ahead. Here is the 2023 NFL Mock Draft April 11.

1. Carolina Panthers (via CHI)- C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State

The Panthers have moved up to the number one overall pick to take their quarterback. C.J. Stroud seems to be the best fit for Frank Reich’s system. Stroud has great ball placement and has solid size.

2. Houston Texans- Bryce Young, QB, Alabama

Even though they were jumped by the Panthers, the Texans may still get the quarterback they want. Young can make plays outside of structure and was clutch during his Alabama career.

3. Arizona Cardinals- Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama

Arizona is likely going to be fielding some calls from teams looking to move up for a quarterback. If they stick with the pick, they can take Anderson, who is a good pass rusher, but also solid against the run.

4. Indianapolis Colts- Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida

Indianapolis has gone through plenty of veteran quarterbacks over the last few seasons, but it is time for them to get a young one to develop. Richardson, who tested off the charts at the combine, may be too physically gifted to pass up.

5. Seattle Seahawks (via DEN)- Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech

After nailing last draft, the Seahawks can get a good pass rusher to help their young defense.

6. Detroit Lions (via LAR)- Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia

They improved their secondary in free agency, which gives the Lions some flexibility. Carter is the best player available and disruptive.

7. Las Vegas Raiders- Will Levis, QB, Kentucky

The Raiders may have just signed Jimmy Garoppolo, but he may not be a long-term answer. Levis has good physical tools, but could have better decision-making.

8. Atlanta Falcons- Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon

Getting a young corner across from A.J. Terrell would really improve their defense. Gonzalez tested well at the combine and has the athleticism to match up with NFL receivers.

9. Chicago Bears- Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State

If the Bears keep Teven Jenkins at guard and move Cody Whitehair to center, they can improve with another offensive tackle. Johnson moved from guard to tackle this season, where he is a much more natural fit.

10. Philadelphia Eagles (Via NO)- Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

Over the last few seasons, the Eagles have really built up their roster across the board. They can improve the running back position by taking Robinson, who can do it all.

11. Tennessee Titans- Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern

Skoronski was recruited as a center, but played left tackle well for the last few seasons at Northwestern. The Titans cut Taylor Lewan and can play Skoronski at left tackle or move him inside.

12. Houston Texans (via CLE)- Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU

After getting a franchise quarterback, the Texans need to get him a number-one option. Johnston is big and fast, which creates a mismatch outside.

13. New York Jets- Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia

The Jets lost Mekhi Becton to injury last season, but they still need help on the offensive line.

14. New England Patriots- Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois

Taking Witherspoon will allow the Patriots to move Marcus Jones to nickel and improve their secondary as a whole.

15. Green Bay Packers- Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah

The Packers need to get more weapons for Jordan Love to help make him successful.

16. Washington Commanders- Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State

Washington can get a really physical corner in Porter Jr. to improve their secondary.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers- Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

After improving the offensive line in free agency, the Steelers can get a good athlete at corner in Ringo.

18. Detroit Lions- Jaxson Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State

Amon-Ra St. Brown played in the slot and outside, but would move outside primarily if Detroit made this pick, as Smith-Njigba plays in the slot.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee

Donovan Smith has been cut and Tristan Wirfs will likely move to left tackle, making right tackle a need.

20. Seattle Seahawks- Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

*The Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick.

21. Los Angeles Chargers- Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

With the injuries to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this season, the Chargers may want to get more help at wide receiver. When they are on the field Flowers can stretch the field and open things up for everyone.

22. Baltimore Ravens- Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland

After acquiring Odell Beckham Jr., the Ravens can turn their attention to drafting a corner to go across from Marlon Humphrey.

23. Minnesota Vikings- Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State

Minnesota has not had a great defense this season and can improve in the secondary.

24. Jacksonville Jaguars- Brian Branch, S, Alabama

The Jaguars would likely play Branch at nickel corner to bolster their defense, but he also has the versatility to play safety.

25. New York Giants- Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson

They ranked 22nd in sacks last season so getting another edge rusher couldn’t hurt.

26. Dallas Cowboys- Adetomiwa Adebawore, EDGE, Northwestern

Adebawore had a great combine and can really help the interior of the Cowboys’ defensive line if they move him inside.

27. Buffalo Bills- Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama

With struggling in the red zone, the Bills may be tempted to take a running back to help them convert more.

28. Cincinnati Bengals- Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

The Bengals have had success with Hayden Hurst, but Mayer is a hometown kid who is one of the better all-around tight end prospects in recent memory.

29. New Orleans Saints (via SF)- Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

Nolan Smith was injured and missed a lot of last season, but tested extremely well at the combine.

30. Philadelphia Eagles-Jordan Addison, WR, USC

The Eagles can really improve their offense with a receiver to play the slot to help open things up for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

31. Kansas City Chiefs- Lukas Van Ness, EDGE, Iowa

Kansas City lost Frank Clark this offseason and need a new edge rusher.
