The draft is here ... almost, with us closing in on the 24-hour mark for the 2023 NFL Draft. In the next how ever many hours before the draft starts, if anyone tells you they know something is happening -- outside of Carolina first overall -- they are lying. No one knows. We are in the middle of the craziest draft, from a knowing who will go where perspective, I have ever seen. The only thing normal about this draft is Aaron Rodgers somehow managing to nab the spotlight yet again. My man could be sipping espresso martinis in some cool Parisian café, and he actively chose to play for the Jets instead. To each his own! Which you may be saying after you read this mock draft -- it's the hardest mock I've done in my decade-plus doing these for CBS and it's also the easiest. Hardest because the info isn't there and the uncertainty looms. Easiest because everyone is going to be wrong.
