2023 NFL mock draft: Only Day 3 of the last decade

We’re back with another edition of NFL mock draft: Mocking the mocks. This time, what if only players selected in Day 3 since 2010 were available?

With the Bears already having Justin Fields, they give him an elite weapon. Nobody has been more dynamic than Hill since entering the league in 2016.

Prescott would be a perfect fit in Houston, which desperately needs a quarterback who can helm this floundering franchise.

The Cardinals are in need of a complete rebuild defensively. Sherman would be a cornerstone in the secondary.

The nonsense with Brown is a problem, but this is fantasyland, where that’s not a concern. Brown’s talent warrants this high of a selection.

Crosby on the Broncos? Raiders fans won’t like it, but he’s a great replacement — and an upgrade — after trading Bradley Chubb.

If the Rams want Matthew Stafford to play a few more quality years, they must protect him. Bakhtiari is an ideal left tackle.

The Raiders need a quarterback after moving on from Derek Carr, and while Cousins has the same ceiling, he would be coming in on a rookie deal.

One year after taking Drake London in the first round, the Falcons continue building their arsenal with Diggs. Add in Kyle Pitts, and that’s a lethal trio.

Putting Chancellor in a secondary with Jaycee Horn? Sign me up. Carolina would be building a nice core on the defensive side.

Kittle gives the Saints something at tight end they haven’t had since Jimmy Graham: a play-making tight end.

Tennessee loves to win in the trenches under head coach Mike Vrabel, and in his prime, Atkins was an All-Pro defensive tackle.

The Browns need someone far better than Jadeveon Clowney playing opposite of Myles Garrett. This fixes that problem.

New York is trying to build up its offense, and having a future Hall of Fame center in the pivot would be ideal for whoever starts at quarterback in 2023.

Judon to the Patriots? Novel concept. The Patriots love their edge rushers, and Judon is one of then best going.

Can you imagine Jarrett next to Kenny Clark on the Packers’ interior? Filthy. He’d give Green Bay the ability to collapse any pocket.

Waller has proven one of the most athletic tight ends in the game, and paired with Logan Thomas, would give Washington a couple of great red zone targets.

The Steelers need to find a corner, and at his peak, Norman commanded a $75 million deal. He was one of the best for a period.

The Lions are in need of continued improvement on the defensive side. Aidan Hutchinson is developing into a star, but adding Smith on the other edge would be a steal at No. 18.

Hufunga is only this low because he’s two years into his career and we don’t know the arc yet, but he has a chance to make a litany of Pro Bowls.

Woolen to the Seahawks? That worked out nicely. And like Hufanga, the ceiling is phenomenal.

Miami needs to continue improving up front, and Linsley is an All-Pro center who can anchor the line.

The Chargers need to get tougher at defensive tackle, and Daniels provides some beef next to Sebastian Joseph-Day.

Teller gives the Ravens something they always covet; size and toughness. He’d be a mauler in Baltimore’s scheme.

Anybody with talent and who plays defense is a fit in Minnesota. Hyde is an All-Pro level safety with versatility.

The Jaguars’ leading sack artist this year? Josh Allen with six. Sweat would be a nice upgrade on the edge opposite Allen.

The Giants have their tackles moving forward, but can improve inside. Jensen is an All-Pro with an edge.

The Cowboys are likely going to lose talent this offseason from their secondary. Adding Poyer would be enormous for that room.

Jones is the safety the Bengals need to replace Jessie Bates, while Dax Hill continues getting time to develop.

Again, we’re in fantasyland. Just looking at football. Hardy was a tremendous pass rusher in his prime and would give San Francisco another problem for teams to deal with.

If the Bills lose Tremaine Edmunds this offseason, Wright would be a nice replacement. He was a stalwart for years with the Seahawks.

Jackson has been uneven at times through his career, but pairing him with Justin Reid would be sublime. He’d slide in for Juan Thornhill, who is hitting free agency.

A first-round fullback? Damn straight. Juszczyk is a valuable chess piece who would give the Eagles a ton of options.
