2023 NFL mock draft: Atlanta Falcons get their franchise QB at No. 1 overall
By Brad Weiss
The Seattle Seahawks are trying to navigate life after Russell Wilson, though they did get the better of their former franchise quarterback in Week 1. Now, they turn to either Geno Smith or Drew Lock, which is why we have them getting a quarterback with their first of two first-round picks next April.
With pick No. 21, the pick they got for Russell Wilson, the Seahawks turn their attention to the defensive side of the ball, adding Isaiah Foskey. Foskey is a prototypical NFL edge rusher and could be a double-digit sack guy at the next level.
The Minnesota Vikings struck gold when they drafted LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson, as he has gone on to be one of the best wideouts in the NFL. Jefferson has teamed well with Kirk Cousins, and here, at pick No. 22, the team goes out and gets another explosive LSU wideout.
The pick here is Kayshon Boutte, who many feels could be the No. 1 wide receiver in this class when all is said and done. Boutte and Jefferson on the outside would be a devastating combination, especially with Adam Thielen getting up there in age.
