The 2023 NFL draft is officially over and it was a memorable one. Within the first three picks there was a huge blockbuster trade. The Houston Texans selected CJ Stroud number two overall and immediately traded back up to three to select Will Anderson Jr. Even with that trade my top three predictions were correct. The biggest shocker of the night was Will Levis falling all the way to the second round. The situation reminded me a lot of Malik Willis in the 2022 NFL draft because he was projected to be drafted in the first round but ended up falling into the third round. Both of those quarterbacks were drafted by the Tennessee Titans. This selection will definitely force some thinking this offseason. They will have to decide if they will stick with Tannehill or head towards the future with either Willis or Levis. The next main talking point with the draft was the puzzling pick that the lions made with the twelfth overall pick. They drafted Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs even though they already had De’andre Swift and David Montgomery. Now, the pick makes more sense after the Lions dealt Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles. Then, at thirteen the Packers selected Lukas Van Ess sticking with their defensive first round pattern. Some people including me believe that they would go with Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith Njigba who was the clear number one receiver in the draft. Then, the Lions picked again with the fifteenth overall pick and in my opinion made the worst pick of the first round. They made a huge reach and drafted Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell who fits the Lions culture and scheme but would have still been available in the second round when the Lions had their next pick. On the other end of the spectrum the New England Patriots got the steal of the draft with Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez who I think is the best corner in the draft. Gonzalez is big, strong, and has all the abilities of an NFL ready defensive back. However, after their first pick the Patriots draft went downhill and they made some poor mind boggling picks just like they have the past three drafts. Only time will tell if what I think will happen is what will actually happen but what I do know is that Caleb Williams will be drafted number one overall in the 2024 NFL draft.
