2023 NFL Mock Draft
Welcome back draft nerds. This year’s festivities are sure to provide drama, intrigue, and storylines aplenty. Before we dive into the picks, here are a few big picture thoughts on this year’s class:
There are four consensus quarterbacks expected to be selected in the 1st round, all likely within the top 10 picks. All four 1st round prospects have the tools and potential to become high-end NFL starters, but all come with some real flaws and potential red flags as well.
Buzz has been growing that Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker will be selected in the first round as well. Hooker is an old prospect at 25 years old and is coming off a late season ACL injury, but he has the arm strength, mobility, and leadership to potentially entice quarterback hungry teams in the latter half of the 1st round.
There are teams with an obvious question mark at quarterback who will certainly be in the mix for the top guys (Texans, Colts, Raiders), but there are also some more under the radar teams that may be considering making a move for their signal caller of the future. Keep an eye on the Titans, Vikings, Lions, and Buccaneers as teams who may be looking to make an aggressive move to land themselves one of the top QB prospects.
Expect a lot of Cornerbacks and Offensive Tackles to be selected in Round 1. This draft is particularly deep at those positions, and teams also consider CB and OT to be amongst the most high-value positions to draft early.
This is also considered to be one of the best Tight End classes in recent memory. Michael Mayer (Notre Dame) Dalton Kincaid (Utah), Darnell Washington (Georgia), Luke Musgrave (Oregon State), and Sam LaPorta (Iowa) are all likely to be selected within the top 50 picks.
This draft class isn’t particularly strong at Wide Receiver or Edge Rusher. While there are a number of intriguing WR prospects, most of them are undersized or come with other red flags. Outside of Will Anderson, most of the Edge Rusher prospects in this class are also flawed in one way or another. You can still expect to see plenty of Wide Receivers and Edge Rushers selected in Round 1 given how valuable these positions are considered in roster building, but teams’ evaluations of these players will be all over the map.
And finally, our award for the Zane Beadles Memorial Stinky Offensive Lineman of the Year goes to Cody Mauch, Offensive Tackle from North Dakota State. This absolute beauty is destined for a job as a department store Santa once his football days are over, and what he lacks in front teeth he makes up for with plenty of charisma. Mauch is actually a pretty good prospect as well, and is likely a Round 2 pick. Long may his stinkiness reign.
Without further ado, let’s make some picks.
1. Carolina Panthers (via Chicago) – Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
Anyone who watched Young play at Alabama knows how special he is as a playmaker. But at 5’10” and 200 pounds his size is definitely a major concern, and we’ve never really seen a QB as small as Young be successful at the NFL level. Some point to Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson as examples of small QBs who have found success, but Young is decidedly less athletic, less stoutly built, and has a weaker arm than either Kyler or Russ. What makes Young special, however, is his poise, elusiveness in the pocket, and football acumen. He reminds me a lot of Joe Burrow in terms of these strengths and ability to make plays outside of structure, but Burrow of course comes with a much bigger frame. I 100% believe in Young as being a special playmaker with a fantastic football mind, but I’d be really worried about taking a historically small QB who doesn’t have overwhelming athletic traits at #1 overall. As we’ve seen with other small-framed quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray, it’s really hard to stay healthy and avoid injuries once the hits from massive NFL defenders start piling up.
2. Houston Texans – Tyree Wilson, Edge Rusher, Texas Tech
Houston has been playing its cards very close to the vest, and nobody seems to have any clue what they’re going to do here. But there has been steady buzz that they don’t love any of the QB prospects after Bryce Young, and may opt to take the top defensive player on their board here. It seems unfathomable that they would go into next season with Davis Mills as their starter again, but perhaps they have another potential trade in the pipeline to target a guy like Trey Lance or Mac Jones? It may also be surprising to see Tyree Wilson coming off the board before the more highly touted edge rusher Will Anderson. The Texans may prefer Wilson for two simple reasons: size and upside. Anderson is fantastic, but doesn’t necessarily have the uber elite athletic traits that would give him a super high ceiling. At 6’6” 271 pounds with nearly 36” arms, Wilson has the build of generationally freaky guys like Jadeveon Clowney or Calais Campbell. Wilson is still a bit raw in terms of pass rushing repertoire, and is also coming off a foot injury that prevented him from working out at the combine or pro days. Big guys with foot injuries always scare me, but DeMeco Ryans may love the idea of finding a big athletic defensive end who can be the Nick Bosa of his defense.
3. Las Vegas Raiders (via projected trade w/ Arizona) – C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
The Raiders make an aggressive trade to select their quarterback of the future here. Jimmy Garoppolo is a fine short term solution at QB, he is too limited and too injury prone to realistically build an AFC West contender around. Stroud has prototypical size, is highly accurate, and throws a beautiful ball. The criticism on Stroud is that he doesn’t show much creativity or willingness to make plays outside of the pocket, and that his college success may have been a product of the QB friendly scheme and abundance of talent around him at Ohio State. But there seems to be consensus that Stroud has a pretty high floor, and he can almost certainly be a good NFL starter – many have compared him to solid but unspectacular guys like Dak Prescott or Jared Goff. The question remains whether he has the ceiling to ever be truly elite and enter the stratosphere of a top 10 QB in the NFL, but his fantastic performance against Georgia in the 2022 College Football Playoffs provides hope that he has more potential to tap into.
4. Indianapolis Colts – Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
Will Levis’ flaws have been well documented throughout the draft process. He had a tough senior season at Kentucky, often being inaccurate and interception prone. But there are some excuses for his lackluster performance – he was battling through injury all season, was playing against a brutal SEC schedule with a depleted roster around him, and had some pretty disastrous coaching at offensive coordinator. The appeal with Levis is his strong build at 6’4”, rocket arm, and functional running ability. At his best, he looks like Josh Allen. At his worst, he looks like the worst versions of Carson Wentz or Jay Cutler. Levis is also known as a football junkie and gym rat, and played in an advanced NFL style offense at Kentucky, which is the sort of thing NFL coaches love. There is definitely bust potential with Levis, but new Colts coach Shane Steichen will believe that they can clean up his inconsistencies and refine his elite athletic traits.
5. Seattle Seahawks – Will Anderson, Edge Rusher, Alabama
Seattle is armed with an abundance of draft capital after the Russell Wilson fleecing, and are thrilled that Anderson has fallen to them here. Anderson had a legendary college career and his production was off the charts at Alabama where he was the most dangerous defensive player in college football for two straight seasons. He doesn’t quite have the size or elite dynamic athletic traits as past elite edge rusher prospects like Von Miller or Myles Garrett. But he plays with great strength and a high-octane motor on every single play, and has all the tools and mentality to be the sort of player you can build your defense around.
6. Detroit Lions – Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida
While Jared Goff had a very good season last year, it’s notable that the Lions have not begun discussions about signing him to a contract extension. The Lions roster is suddenly looking really good and they likely won’t be picking in the top 6 of the draft again anytime soon, so they know that this may be a unique opportunity to select a quarterback of the future with immense upside. Richardson undeniably often looked quite bad in college, barely completing 50% of his passes last season. But it’s not hyperbole to say that he may be the most athletically gifted quarterback prospect we’ve ever seen. The metrics from his combine performance where he ran a 4.43 second 40 and notched a 40.5” vertical leap are truly off the charts for his size (6’4” and 244 pounds), and he has shown off his unworldly arm strength throughout the draft process as well. Cam Newton is really the only close physical comparison, but Richardson’s athletic numbers are even more impressive than Cam’s were coming out of Auburn. Despite his very inconsistent performance at Florida, there are reasons to be optimistic about his development. He was very good at avoiding sacks, and his low completion percentage was partially due to an aggressive offense with lots of difficult downfield throws and a bad wide receiver corps that had one of the highest drop rates in the country. Sitting behind Goff is an ideal scenario for Richardson to continue to develop and refine his immense potential.
7. Arizona Cardinals (via projected trade w/ Las Vegas) – Paris Johnson, Offensive Tackle, Ohio State
The Cardinals may have the worst roster in the NFL, not even accounting for the fact that Kyler Murray has a torn ACL and DeAndre Hopkins will likely be traded soon. The Cardinals need good players at basically every position, but the offensive line is in particular need of a talent infusion. Johnson has great athleticism and size at 6’6”, and had a stellar 2022 season at Ohio State. He only has one year of experience as a starting left tackle and needs to continue to get stronger, but Johnson has the build and athleticism to become a top-tier left tackle that the Cardinals can build their offensive line around.
8. Atlanta Falcons – Devon Witherspoon, Cornerback, Illinois
There is some buzz that the Falcons might consider RB Bijan Robinson here, but I think they will opt to maximize value by addressing their need in the secondary here. Witherspoon is a bit undersized at 5’11” 181 pounds, but has 4.45 speed and plays with great physicality. He has all the tools to be an elite NFL corner, and coaches love his tackling ability and aggressive demeanor. Pairing Witherspoon with A.J. Terrell will give the Falcons an enviable duo of shutdown corners.
9. Chicago Bears (via Carolina) – Jalen Carter, Defensive Tackle, Georgia
After trading away the #1 pick, the Bears land a player who many consider to be the most talented player in this class. Carter has an incredible combination of speed and strength, and is a constant disruptor both in the run game and as an interior pass rusher. Georgia was absolutely loaded with elite defensive prospects over the past few seasons, and Carter often flashed as the very best player on their defense. However, Carter comes with some serious off the field concerns. He was recently arrested for his involvement in a deadly car accident, and he also showed up to his pro day overweight and clearly out of shape. The Bears feel that the opportunity to draft a player with his immense upside is worth the gamble here.
10. Philadelphia Eagles – Nolan Smith, Edge Rusher, Georgia
The Eagles always prioritize building through the trenches, and add another elite talent to their defensive front seven here. Nolan Smith missed most of last season with a pectoral injury, and is also quite small at just 238 pounds. But he is insanely quick with a lightning fast burst off the edge – he posted a 4.39 second 40 time at the combine (faster than almost all of the wide receivers and running backs in this class). He is also known as a great leader, and was the heart and soul of Georgia’s elite defense over the past couple seasons. The Eagles will love adding him to their embarrassment of riches on defense.
11. Tennessee Titans – Peter Skoronski, Offensive Tackle, Northwestern
It is a very open secret that the Titans are sniffing around the quarterbacks at the top of this draft, and may very well make an aggressive move to trade up for Stroud, Levis, or Richardson. But with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry likely departing after this season, the Titans would be wise to prepare for their rebuild by investing in the offensive line. Skoronski is probably the best offensive lineman in this class, as he was a rock solid left tackle during his time at Northwestern. He has fantastic feet and technique, and was particularly impressive in his performance against Ohio State’s cavalcade of elite edge rushers. The knock against Skoronski is his short 32” arms, where 34” inches is generally considered the benchmark for an NFL tackle. This may necessitate him ultimately moving inside to play guard rather than tackle, but regardless of position, Skoronski would be a versatile and highly valuable anchor for any offensive line.
12. Houston Texans – Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Wide Receiver, Ohio State
Regardless of who is playing quarterback for the Texans next season, they are going to need some better receiving weapons after the team traded away Brandin Cooks this offseason. Smith-Njigba is a tough evaluation, as he missed essentially the entire 2022 season with a nagging hamstring injury. But in 2021, Smith-Njigba was often the best wide receiver on the field for a Buckeyes team that included impressive rookies Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Smith-Njigba’s greatest strength is his short area quickness, as demonstrated by his elite 3-cone drill time at the combine. With great hands and a knack for getting open, Smith-Njigba is the top receiver prospect in this class despite his injury history.
13. Green Bay Packers (from NY Jets) – Lukas Van Ness, Edge Rusher, Iowa
The Packers struggled mightily on defense last season, and are in need of some difference makers on that side of the ball. Nicknamed “Hercules” for his god-like athletic build, Van Ness has all the physical traits you could ever want in a game wrecking defensive end. At 6’5” 272 pounds with 34” arms, Van Ness also has fantastic speed with a 4.58 second 40 time. However, Van Ness is still quite raw with limited pass rushing moves, and he wasn’t even a starter during his time at Iowa. The Packers will fall in love with his potential though, and may believe that he has the ceiling to turn into a Nick Bosa type of disruptor.
14. New England Patriots – Christian Gonzalez, Cornerback, Oregon
Bill Belichick is always a wild card in the draft, but we know that he loves defensive backs and elite athletic traits. Gonzalez is undoubtedly the most physically gifted cornerback in this class, with great size at 6’1” and elite speed with a 4.38 second 40 time. He has fluid hips and is fantastic in coverage, though he doesn’t always play with a ton of physicality and his ball skills are somewhat lacking. Belichick would love to bring in Gonzalez as the anchor of his secondary.
15. New York Jets (from Green Bay) – Broderick Jones, Offensive Tackle, Georgia
After (finally) pulling off the trade for Aaron Rodgers, the Jets will prioritize protecting their new QB here. Left tackle has seemingly always been a problem for the Jets, and is still a glaring question mark on their roster. Broderick Jones was a great anchor for the Bulldogs in their national title run, and has all the traits to be a Pro Bowl caliber left tackle. He’s still quite young and unrefined, but he is ultra athletic with nimble feet and an elite combination of size and quickness.
16. Washington Commanders – Deonte Banks, Cornerback, Maryland
I’m still somewhat surprised that the Commanders didn’t pursue avenues to acquire a top-end quarterback this offseason, as the rest of the roster is actually quite good. But they are seemingly stuck in somewhat of a limbo while their ownership questions are resolved, so they will turn to adding a high-end talent to their secondary here. Banks burst onto the scene last season, and turned plenty of heads with his 4.35 second 40 time at the combine to pair with his good size for the position. He needs to improve his anticipation and awareness, but he has all the tools to be a shutdown corner.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Anton Harrison, Offensive Tackle, Oklahoma
Kenny Pickett’s relatively successful rookie year looks all the more impressive considering that the Steelers had one of the worst offensive line groups in the league last season. Harrison lacks the ultra elite athleticism that other top prospects in this class possess, but he plays with great effort and smarts, and rarely gets beat. Improving at offensive tackle is an absolute must for this team, and Harrison has the pedigree to be a rock solid tackle for their future.
18. Detroit Lions – Joey Porter Jr., Cornerback, Penn State
The Lions’ secondary was a nightmare last season, and they are happy to grab the top cornerback on the board here. Porter is a physical and super long corner with condor-like 34” arms, and he also flashed really good speed for his size with a 4.46 second 40 time. Porter isn’t super fluid in changing direction, and is criticized for being a bit handsy and getting called for a lot of penalties. But head coach Dan Campbell will absolutely love his NFL pedigree and tough guy mentality.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Darnell Wright, Offensive Tackle, Tennessee
The Bucs are expected to move on from Donovan Smith who struggled mightily at times last season, so they will be looking to fill a hole at offensive tackle here. Darnell Wright is a rock solid right tackle, and caught everybody’s attention with his fantastic performance against Alabama in shutting down Will Anderson.
20. Seattle Seahawks – Myles Murphy, Edge Rusher, Clemson
The Seahawks have needed to find an elite edge rusher for years now, and double up at the position here hoping that Myles Murphy has the potential to become a difference maker for their defense. Murphy has excellent size and athletic traits at 6’5” with long arms, but he lacks an explosive first step off the edge, and his production was often lacking during his time at Clemson. But he is a really young prospect with lots of room to continue to grow and develop, and Pete Carroll will hope that he can harness Murphy’s high potential.
21. L.A. Chargers – Bijan Robinson, Running Back, Texas
Drafting a running back in the first round is always a dicey proposition in terms of maximizing value, but Bijan is considered a special prospect on the level of Saquon Barkley. Robinson is a strong and patient runner, and also adds a lot of value as a pass catcher out of the backfield. With Austin Ekeler potentially on his way out after his trade request, Robinson would provide Justin Herbert with a dangerous weapon to build their offense of the future around.
22. Baltimore Ravens – Zay Flowers, Wide Receiver, Boston College
After failing to surround Lamar Jackson with wide receiver talent for many years, the Ravens finally invested in the position by signing Odell Beckham this offseason. Odell is a nice addition, but both he and Rashod Bateman are too injury prone to consider the Ravens set at the wide receiver position. Zay Flowers is a little guy at just 5’9”, but he is lighting quick with 4.42 speed and was incredibly productive at Boston College even with ACC defenses focused on trying to stop him. Regardless of Lamar’s long-term future with the team, Flowers is a guy you want in your locker room.
23. Minnesota Vikings – Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee
All indications seem to be that the Vikings are preparing to move on from Kirk Cousins after this season, and are looking to find a higher-ceiling long term solution at quarterback. Hooker was fantastic last season at Tennessee, and has elite arm strength, really good mechanics and mobility, and is known as a great leader. But Hooker also has some serious drawbacks: (a) he’s an old prospect at 25 years old, (b) he’s coming off a late-season ACL injury, and (c) he played in a very simplified Air Raid college offense that doesn’t translate very well to the NFL level. These are some serious red flags that would make me quite scared to invest a 1st round pick in Hooker, but head coach Kevin O’Connell believes that Hooker’s high-end traits will make him the perfect successor to Cousins once he has recovered from his injury.
24. Jacksonville Jaguars – Bryan Bresee, Defensive Tackle, Clemson
Jacksonville’s roster is suddenly looking pretty impressive on offense with a good crop of receivers, a solid offensive line, and Trevor Lawrence looking really great towards the end of last season. The defense, however, still needs some attention. Their inability to pressure a severely hobbled Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs was eye opening, and they are looking to add a difference making interior pass rusher here. Bryan Breese was the #1 recruit in the country out of high school, but faced a challenging college career where he was confronted with injury, illness, and family tragedy. But despite his lack of production in college, he still has all the elite athletic traits you could ever dream of in a modern defensive tackle.
25. New York Giants – Jordan Addison, Wide Receiver, USC
The Giants were essentially playing with an XFL group of wide receivers last season. They took some steps to address the WR group this offseason by adding some solid but unspectacular guys like Parris Cambell and Jamison Crowder, but they are still searching for a difference maker at the position to compliment their now highly paid QB Daniel Jones. Addison was probably the best wide receiver in college football the past two seasons, winning the Biletnikoff Award in 2021 at Pittsburg before transferring to USC. Addison is undersized at 5’11” 173 pounds, and he doesn’t have fantastic straight-line speed (4.49 second 40 time). What makes Addison special is his fantastic route running abilities, along with his great hands and ball-winning moxie. Addison may not be the true #1 wide receiver the Giants are searching for, but he will be a super reliable and valuable target for their passing game.
26. Dallas Cowboys – Michael Mayer, Tight End, Notre Dame
Outside of Tony Romo, there may have been no player Jerry Jones has loved more than Jason Witten. Enter Michael Mayer, who often looked like a Witten clone during his time at Notre Dame. While he may not be as athletic as some of the other tight end prospects in this class, Mayer is a really great blocker in the run game, and has fantastic hands and an elite ability to catch contested balls in traffic. He would be an ideal weapon for the Cowboys to add to their offense.
27. Buffalo Bills – Quentin Johnston, Wide Receiver, TCU
Stefon Diggs was often frustrated last season as defenses focused all of their attention on stopping him given the Bills’ lack of other receiving weapons. Johnston is a big-bodied receiver at 6’3” who would add another dynamic element to the Bills’ passing game. Johnston was a big play machine for TCU, and he especially excels in gaining yards after the catch. The drawback with Johnston is that his hands aren’t great and he is prone to drops, and he isn’t really a dynamic leaper on contested throws. But once you get the ball in Johnston’s hands he is a tackle breaking machine and a constant touchdown threat.
28. Cincinnati Bengals – Jahmyr Gibbs, Running Back, Alabama
It’s notable that the Bengals have not added a running back in free agency considering Samaje Perine’s departure and Joe Mixon’s legal troubles and likely release. Gibbs is ultra fast with 4.36 speed and is also a fantastic pass catcher, and would add to the Bengals’ fantastic group of offensive weapons for Joe Burrow to leverage to make them even more explosive and dangerous.
29. New Orleans Saints – Dalton Kincaid, Tight End, Utah
Some of the brightest moments of Derek Carr’s career came when throwing the ball to tight end Darren Waller when he was at his peak, and the Saints may look to replicate that recipe here. Nobody is Travis Kelce, but Kincaid does often look Kelce-esque with his ability to make plays in space and run with the ball after the catch. Kincaid’s performance shredding the USC defense was a lot of fun to watch, and he would be a great weapon to pair with Chris Olave in the Saints’ offense.
30. Philadelphia Eagles – Emmanuel Forbes, Cornerback, Mississippi State
The Eagles are able to add further depth to their secondary here. Forbes was one of the most dynamic and fun defensive players to watch in college football throughout his career, where he showcased his elite playmaking skills with an incredible 14 interceptions including 6 pick-sixes. The drawback with Forbes is that he is skinny. Like, really really skinny. Weighing 166 pounds, Forbes is lighter than even most punters. But the Eagles will hope that he can continue to add bulk to his 6’1” frame while continuing to flash his awesome playmaking abilities.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Jonathan Mingo, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss
Mingo is a big, strong, and tough receiver who has drawn comparisons to fellow Ole Miss alum A.J. Brown. At 6’2” and 220 pounds, Mingo shows great toughness after the catch, and has the strength to contribute as a blocker as well. His 4.46 second 40 time was better than expected, and he is known as a very hard worker and great route runner. His production wasn’t always particularly impressive at Ole Miss, but Mingo’s traits would be a fantastic addition to the Chiefs’ wide receiver corps to complement smaller guys like Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore.
Some additional guys to keep an eye on who may be selected early in Round 2:
Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh (little fireball of an interior pass rusher with crazy 4.67 speed, but built like a T-Rex with a tiny 30” arm length which is concerning for a defensive tackle).
O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida (rock solid guard who excelled in the SEC after transferring from Louisiana).
Brian Branch, Safety, Alabama (was fantastic as the leader of the Alabama secondary, and would have been selected much higher if not for his slow 40 time).
Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee (2022 Biletnikoff Award winner with elite speed but slight frame and limited route running abilities).
D.J. Turner, CB, Michigan (lacks elite size and is smaller than ideal, but has absolute blazing speed. He blew the doors off the combine with his 4.26 second 40 time).
Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse (Quebec born tackle with high character and an abundance of starting experience in the ACC).
Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee (big 6’3” receiver who may have been a surefire 1st round pick if not for injury concerns).
Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State (uber athletic tight end prospect who was also an elite skier. Would have been a higher pick if not for injuries).
Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia (behemoth of a tight end at 6’7” with 4.64 speed, but very raw and had limited pass catching production in college. Basically the Anthony Richardson of tight ends).
Will McDonald, Edge Rusher, Iowa State (ultra quick pass rusher, but an undersized and older prospect).
Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia (former top recruit with elite size and speed, but questionable decision making in coverage).
Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina (tiny 5’9” receiver who plays with great toughness and strength for his size. Love him).
Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas (Butkus Award finalist who also flashes potential as a pass rusher off the edge).
Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina (long and athletic corner, but lacks physicality and gets called for a lot of penalties).
Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson (lightning fast linebacker with 4.43 speed).
Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan (run stuffing defensive tackle who is as strong as a dadgum ox. Put up an incredible 34 reps on the bench press at the combine).
B.J. Ojulari, Edge Rusher, LSU (talented but super raw edge rusher who needs time to get stronger and develop).
Steve Aliva, OG, TCU (sturdy interior blocker who was the offensive line anchor for TCU’s Cinderella run).
John Michael Schmitz, Center, Minnesota (the best center prospect in this class).
Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern (had limited production in college, but turned heads with 4.49 second 40 time at 282 pounds at the combine).
Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Edge Rusher, Kansas State (long framed pass rusher with great motor but limited technique and polish).
Keion White, Edge Rusher, Georgia Tech (stoutly built edge rusher who dominated the Senior Bowl).
Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA (lacks elite athletic traits, but was a highly productive runner for the Bruins and has pass catching upside).
Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa (super talented tight end prospect flying somewhat under the radar after being stuck in the muck of Iowa’s dismal offense).
