2023 NFL Mock Draft: Texans reboot at QB in ‘way-too-early’ 2023 Mock
By Brad Weiss
49. . TE. Green Bay Packers. Arik Gilbert. 29. player
It has been a strange offseason for the Green Bay Packers, who signed Aaron Rodgers to a record deal, and then saw his No. 1 option leave for Las Vegas. To say that the 2022 season will be an interesting one is an understatement, but based on the rankings, they should be right back in the mix in the NFC next season.
With the No. 29 overall pick in our mock, Green Bay finally goes with a weapon in the first round, adding LSU tight end Arik Gilbert. This is a guy who is cut from the Travis Kelce mold and could end up being an excellent complement to 2022 second-round pick, Christian Watson.
Jaquelin Roy. 30. player. 124. . DT. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs may have lost Tyreek Hill in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, but the experts do not see them falling any time soon. In fact, based on this ranking, they would end up in the AFC title game once again, a place that Patrick Mahomes resides in since taking over as starting quarterback.
At pick No. 30, the Chiefs bolster the defensive line by adding LSU defensive tackle, Jaquelin Roy. He has the size and strength to be a difference-maker in Year 1 and should key one of the best defensive lines in college football this season.
