2023 NFL Draft: Full two-round mock after Super Bowl LVII
By Brad Weiss
32. . Edge. Arizona Cardinals. Myles Murphy. 3. player
Here is another spot where we could see a ton of movement before the first round kicking off, as the Arizona Cardinals do not need a quarterback this offseason. They are all-in on Kyler Murray, and for quarterback-needy teams looking to move up in the first round, the Cardinals’ No. 3 overall pick is a desirable one.
So where does Arizona go from here? Well, they need help on both sides of the ball, and it is clear that Murray is going to need more weapons on offense. However, Myles Murphy is a punishing edge rusher that should land within the first five picks, and after losing JJ Watt to retirement, he comes right in to fill that void.
player. 46. . Quarterback. Indianapolis Colts. CJ Stroud. 4
The Indianapolis Colts are a quarterback-needy team, and when all is said and done, they could navigate their way to the No. 1 overall pick. In this mock draft, with Chicago and Arizona standing firm, they will be able to get either Bryce Young or CJ Stroud without moving up, landing Stroud here at No. 4.
Stroud is an NFL-ready quarterback who had a ton of success at Ohio State, and for a franchise looking for a long-term solution at the position, he is a perfect fit. Indianapolis will have Philadelphia’s former OC Shane Steichen as head coach in 2023, and after what we saw him do with the offense in Philly, Colts fans should be very excited about his arrival.
