![]() The Titans should consider Northwestern's Peter Skoronski and Georgia's Broderick Jones as the first tackle off the board, but Johnson just makes too much sense. 11: Tennessee Titans pick Ohio State OT Paris Johnson Jr. Quarterbacks posted a paltry 25.3 passer rating when targeting Witherspoon last season, which is 14.3 points worse than the rating you'd get if you throw all of your passes out of bounds. The Eagles don't have too many weaknesses, but Witherspoon still improves their already-stacked defense. 10: Philadelphia Eagles pick Illinois CB Devon Witherspoon But with all the passers off the board, the Panthers settle for the best player available and snag an edge rusher who profiles similarly to last year's No. It'll be a bit of a surprise if the Panthers don't trade up to pick one of the top four quarterbacks. 9: Carolina Panthers pick Texas Tech DE Tyree Wilson ![]() This is a dream pairing for player and team. Now he gets the chance to go home and show off his length, speed and pass rush specialties on a defense that desperately needs help on the edge. Murphy went to high school just outside of Atlanta. 8: Atlanta Falcons pick Clemson DE Myles Murphy Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has never had a quarterback with Levis' physical tools, and now he gets the chance to hone those into his offense. The fourth and final QB to go in the top 10 is Kentucky's Levis, a big and talented performer with some consistency and injury concerns who has enough upside to draw comparisons to players like Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen. 7: Las Vegas Raiders pick Kentucky QB Will Levis With another first-round pick later to plug their defensive line needs, this is the chance to reach a little bit on a potential future All-Pro. He tested fantastically at the combine, has track star bloodlines and wasn't a shabby college player either. The Lions need to improve their secondary, and Gonzalez is the kind of long, rangy, athletic cornerback NFL teams love. 6: Detroit Lions pick Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez It's a boom-or-bust pick, but the boom could be so tremendous that the Seahawks take the gamble. He'll need time to develop as an NFL starter, but his talents are off the charts. Whether the Seahawks franchise tag quarterback Geno Smith or let him walk in free agency, picking Richardson here is worth the risk. 5: Seattle Seahawks pick Florida QB Anthony Richardson Stroud is one of the most accurate and prolific passers in modern college football history and immediately pairs well with coach Shane Steichen to reinvigorate Indianapolis' offense. The Colts' days of cycling through veterans on short-term contracts are over. 4: Indianapolis Colts pick Ohio State QB C.J. But if the Cardinals are picking based purely on on-field potential and production, this is a no-brainer. The legal drama surrounding Carter's involvement in the events leading to a fatal car accident in Athens, Georgia, in January will surely give some teams pause, and it might be hard for the Cardinals to pick him this early if things aren't resolved. 3: Arizona Cardinals pick Georgia DT Jalen Carter But ultimately they stick with the guy who's felt destined to be the first quarterback off the board since he signed with the Crimson Tide, even if he's a little undersized. Stroud's combine workout gives the Texans something to think about. 2: Houston Texans pick Alabama QB Bryce Young But the Bears arguably had the NFL's worst pass rush last season and building around a generational pass rush talent is never a bad idea. The Bears will consider trading back to get a king's ransom from a quarterback-hungry team. 1: Chicago Bears pick Alabama OLB Will Anderson View Gallery: NFL Mock Draft 2023: Tennessee Titans miss out on QBs, go OL at No.
