Windy City Gridiron

● By Jacob Infante
The 2023 NFL Draft is only 8 days away, and if the vague speculations of NFL insiders are to be believed, it could be an incredibly chaotic one. As teams conclude their tape grinding for this year’s class and coordinate their finalized rankings and plan of attack, I have too finished my preparations for this year’s draft, albeit on a much smaller scale. I watched a personal-best 467 prospects for the 2023 draft, which is a number I’m very proud of. I’ve made it a goal to watch more players every single year, and I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do that in each of the 7 drafts I’ve formally covered. In my own version of a “thank you” for reading all of my pre-draft work — and as a “thank you” in advance for consuming the content to come on Draft Week — I’ve decided to unleash a decent-sized chunk of my big board to you all, along with my top 10 players at each position. Enjoy!
