PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks SAINTS

Time to take a look at the team that hopes to capture the NFC South crown after struggling for a couple of years first without DREW BREES then sans-SEAN PAYTON. They conducted one of the off-season’s biggest transactions in signing DEREK CARR as their new QB. He may not be DREW BREES, but he is a better than… Read More »

PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks BENGALS

My how things have changed for hungry Bengals fans, who are now feasting at the upper dining room tables with the emergence of their Franchise QB JOE BURROW. However, the team will be tested sorely over the next few seasons as MR. BURROW approaches that all important second contract, whereby he will eat up a seriously disproportionate percentage… Read More »

PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks Mis

Decided to take another little shortcut in an attempt to get as close to all 32-team coverage as possible. I have selected the 4 teams with the least Draft Capital of all the remaining teams I still have to draft for here. I am also going to defer from the profile detail that I would normally compose for… Read More »

PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks BILLS

It sure looks as though the BILLS will own the AFC East for as long as JOSH ALLEN stays in town. He is still not perfect, which is actually petty scary, but he’s clearly the top QB in the division. But like all teams they have some weak spots on the roster and it will be important to… Read More »

PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks NFC North

Gonna handle this a little differently this year. Due to time constraints (mine) I am going to do a brief summary for teams in this Conference. I have already done a detailed report on the LIONS who I project to win the NFC North. And I do not really think any of the remaining 3 teams will even… Read More »

PIGSKIN’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks SEA HAWKS

The trade that sent QB RUSSELL WILSON to Denver last year seems to be the gift that just keeps on giving, at least as far as the Sea Hawks are concerned. While RUSS and the Broncos floundered last season the Sea Hawks surprised most of us with a Play-Off berth, albeit a short lived run. The dynamic duo… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks LIONS

Let’s go out a bit on that limb, that is the Draft, and project this Draft as one that must match up favorably with the 2022 effort from the new LIONS Hierarchy that consists primarily of GM Brad HOLMES, HC DAN CAMPBELL, Senior Personnel Director JOHN DORSEY and their entire Personnel Dept. The LIONS turned a corner last… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks COLTS

I am going to try something a little bit different this morning with how I operate the COLTS Mock. It has been clearly noted that COLTS GM CHRIS BALLARD leans quite heavily for drafting “athletic” players for his roster. Right now I am fascinated by the work of Kent Lee Platte, the Math Bomb, who uses basic info… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft TEXANS TEAM DRAFT

My gut tells me that the Texans are not displeased that the PANTHERS snatched BRYCE YOUNG in my Mock in front of them. From a public relations standpoint BRYCE might have had a bit more pizzaz with the Texans fan base. But looking at the size issues for YOUNG chances might seem better that a taller, beefier STROUD… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft PANTHERS MOCK

Clearly the Panthers are trying to do a roster overhaul without suffering a hitch in their giddy-yup. And I don’t think they traded up to Pick No. 1 just to grab an Edge-Rusher. They are after their new Franchise QB and the choice seems to me to be either YOUNG or STROUD. They seem to have done a… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft Team Mocks WASHINGTON

Sorry , but not using the WFT “new” nickname  ’cause  I hate it. “” sounds like something a House of Representatives committee came up with and sent to DANIEL SNYDER. That’s a personal hangup so just slide past me calling them the WFT, please. RON RIVERA and his troops surprised most folks with a better than expected .500-ish… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Draft Mock Drafts COWBOYS

The Cowboys have some holes to fill after struggling to get their Salary Cap in order. I would say RB is a concern for the first time in quite a while. ZEKE ELLIOTT was let go primarily for Cap reasons and TONY POLLARD is coming off a significant injury. As I write this on Easter Sunday the team… Read More »

Pigskin’s 2023 NFL Team Mock Drafts EAGLES

As things stand right now ‘Trader Howie’ ROSEMAN, the Eagles GM, faces a new challenge, for him at least. The EAGLES are loaded at the top of the Draft considering they were in the Super Bowl a couple of months ago. They have two first rounders and 4 Picks overall in the top 94. Then they don’t pick… Read More »

PIGSKIN’S Team Mock Drafts: Kansas City Chiefs

Before I get going here let us review the most important rules about how I do this. The prospects are rated by my Rankings. Each Team Mock stands alone, which means all players are available every time I start a new Team Mock. This has confused some of our readers in the past since I end up with… Read More »

PIGSKIN’S Top 25+ Draft Porpsects 2023

Non-Combine Draftable Prospects

As most of you already know, every year there are almost a full round (32) of players who get drafted but were not invited to the Combine. There are many reasons for this seeming error in judgment but there are actually some very valid reasons behind this phenomenon to occur: Scouts/Personnel people want it up close and personal,… Read More »

POST COMBINE 2023 UP/DOWN PROSPECTS

Now that I have recovered from the “shock and awe” of the CARR/SAINTS marriage announcement, as well as the BEARS taking advantage of the Panthers impatient Owner Mr. Tepper and moving off Pick One in the 2023 Draft, I am getting back to the guys who used the Combine to raise their Draft stock in my mind, and… Read More »

NFL COMBINE 2023 The QB

I had it in my head not to make too big of a deal about the QB at this Combine and in the upcoming Draft. But I had to face up to the reality that QB are the true stars of the NFL. They used to say ‘Defense wins championships’. But to say that today is less than… Read More »

COMBINE 2023 Day 4

We have seen a slight moderation in parameters and nomenclature as it applies to labeling and grading of the OL Group, which started off our day as the Combine progressed to Day 4.  51 players were packed into this group of the “big uglies”. In reality guys in this grouping are either OT or IOL, meaning the OG/OC… Read More »

COMBINE 2023 Day Three

It was time for some Offense to take over the spotlight at the COMBINE. But I looked forward to it with some degree of trepidation. I did so because as I had expected the CB group on Friday Night showed out with their athleticism. And let’s acknowledge the fact that the Combine is about athleticism, at least in… Read More »

COMBINE 2023 Day Two

Now that Coach Prime has taken his career’s work to Colorado as Head Coach of the Buffaloes, there is no need to present the DB Group on the final day of the Combine. So they were relegated to Friday afternoon, and are heading toward the Indy Airport and to  their planes back to where they had cone from.… Read More »

Combine 2023 Day One

As usual my first comment while watching Day 1 of the Combine was WOW! It seems like in today’s sports world of outstanding athleticism, records are broken on a daily basis and while many athletes just confirm their physical greatness, many more come out of the woodwork with their ability. And so it went hour after hour last… Read More »

COMBINE Absences… on Pigskin’s Mind

I was among those conspicuous  by their absence when the Combine Invitees list was released and everyone stampeded to proclaim the possible slighted player omissions. But I am here now to tell you my favorite 13 players who I will be anxious get Pro Day numbers for in March and early April. Second guessing the folks at National… Read More »

Pigskin Paul’s PRE-COMBINE Top 25 Prospects

It fees like it has been a while since I updated my Top 25 and with the Combine starting next week it feels like time to update, since the Combine usually changes things a bit. So, for now…   JALEN CARTER    DT    Georgia    6’3/310   BRYCE YOUNG      QB      Alabama    … Read More »

2023 NFL QB Carousel: Take One

by Pigskin Paul Guillemette; GBN Associate Editor It happens every year, though some years are crazier than others. It is very unlikely that anyone would argue that the QB position is the single most important slot to fill on any  NFL team. If you don’t have a quality starter you are not going to [m]any Super Bowls. And… Read More »
