2023 NFL Mock Draft: QBs fly off the board in top-10 picks
By Brad Weiss
After picking at No. 12 overall, the Seattle Seahawks make it back-to-back picks at No. 13 overall, this time going with a defensive player. Seattle needs help along the edges on defense, and Myles Murphy from Clemson is a guy many feels could be a top-5 pick when all is said and done.
Murphy is an explosive edge rusher, and on a Seahawks defense that is rebranding itself, he would be an excellent new addition. Seattle plays in a very tough division, but two picks in the first 13 picks will help them start to bridge the gap in terms of talent.
It has been an up-and-down season for the Los Angeles Chargers this year, as they were a team expected to challenge for a Super Bowl title in 2022. Justin Herbert is one of the best young quarterbacks in the game, but in Year 3, it is time for him to start at least getting to the playoffs.
That could be hard this season due to the fact his star left tackle, Rashawn Slater may be done for the season. Going into next year’s draft, offensive tackle could be the pick once more, teaming Peter Skoronski with Slater for a solid, young tandem at OT for years to come.
