2023 NFL Draft: Full two-round mock after early free agency waves

36. player. 51. . WR. Los Angeles Rams. Josh Downs

When looking at the Los Angeles Rams roster going into draft season, they are going to need help all over the place. Head coach Sean McVay will return after rumors swirled that he could be retiring, so at least they will have one of the best young head coaches in the game back at the helm in 2023.

With pick No. 36 overall, I like the Rams to add a playmaking wide receiver in Josh Downs from the University of North Carolina. The Rams are kind of hitting the reset button on the roster this offseason, and in Downs, they get a potential WR1 for the long haul in LaLa Land.

. OG. Seattle Seahawks. O'Cyrus Torrence. 37. player. 36

The Seattle Seahawks are in great shape heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, as they hold three of the first 37 selections this April. In the first round, we had the Seahawks focusing on their defense, and here at No. 37, they bolster the offensive line in front of the newly re-signed quarterback, Geno Smith.

O’Cyrus Torrence is widely considered the best interior offensive line prospect in this draft class, and that is a real area of need for the Seahawks. Smith earned his new contract this past offseason, and in Torrence, the Seahawks go a long way in making sure he stays upright for the long haul.
