2023 NFL mock draft: Atlanta Falcons get their franchise QB at No. 1 overall
By Brad Weiss
OT. Pittsburgh Steelers. Peter Skoronski. 11. player. 55.
The Mitchell Trubisky era in Pittsburgh is not off to a solid start, and there are plenty of fans who are already clamoring for Kenny Pickett to take over. While Trubisky has struggled, I do not see Mike Tomlin making that move this early in the season, so the veteran will have some time to figure it out.
Regardless of who the starting quarterback is next year, the Steelers need help along the offensive line, and they get some here in Peter Skoronski from Northwestern. Skoronski is the best offensive lineman in this class, and a franchise left tackle at the next level, just what the Steelers need.
. CB. Arizona Cardinals. Cam Smith. 12. player. 32
The Arizona Cardinals pulled off a historic comeback this past weekend, going to Las Vegas and erasing a 20-0 halftime deficit against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite the comeback, this team is in trouble, as they were blown out by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, and looked back for the entire first half against Las Vegas.
One big area of need is in the secondary, as Patrick Mahomes diced them up in Week 1, and Derek Carr looked unstoppable in the first half this past Sunday. Cam Smith from South Carolina is a talented cornerback that could slot in as a starter from Day 1, addressing one of the biggest needs on this roster.
