Myles Murphy. 5. player. 54. . Edge. Philadelphia Eagles

It is not often that the best team in the NFL holds a top-5 pick, but that is where we are at when it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles. Not only do they have a perfect record this season, but thanks to the trade they made with the New Orleans Saints, they also have the No. 5 overall pick next April.

With this pick, the rich get richer, as they land one of the premier edge rushers in this draft class in Myles Murphy. This is a kid who is going to be a double-digit sack guy at the next level, and on the Eagles, he would become an instant fan favorite.

10. . QB. Houston Texans. Will Levis. 6. player

Holding both the No. 4 and No. 6 overall pick, the Houston Texans fill two holes on their roster early in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. At pick No. 4, they get arguably the best player in the draft in Will Anderson, and here at No. 6, they bring in a new franchise quarterback.

Davis Mills is a solid backup at the NFL level, but Kentucky’s Will Levis is someone who could lead this franchise for years to come. He has everything you look for in a franchise guy at the next level, and it is clear that the Texans are still in rebuilding mode, and looking for long-term solutions at plenty of high-priority positions.
