Who will be the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft? The scouting combine and the pre-draft process will help tell us a lot about how teams view this year’s draft class. For now, we’re diving into our 2023 NFL mock draft with an early forecast for top prospects before rumors heat up. The 2023 NFL Combine will certainly have a huge influence on how the entire draft unfolds. There are countless instances of players elevating their draft stock thanks to NFL Combine records or costing themselves millions of dollars with a bad performance in Indianapolis. As part of our offseason series with our 2023 NFL Draft projections, trades are involved with a number of teams moving up and down the board. With the help of the Pro Football Focus draft simulator, we can have an educated exercise for how things could unfold on draft night.
