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 »
Guess who’s coming to dinner … It is admittedly a far from perfect science, but one of the fun parts of the draft process at this time of year is looking for clues in the various teams’ list of 30-allowed pre-draft visits. Florida QB Anthony Richardson, arguably the most polarizing prospect in this year’s draft will reportedly be… Read More »
So who’s #1 … The drama over who will be the first pick overall at the 2023 draft, now just 24 days away, probably won’t be over until Carolina actually gets on the clock with the #1 pick on the 27th. Prior to their back-to-back pro days, the sense around the league was that the Panthers were actually… Read More »
Into the homestretch … There’s now less than a month to go until the first picks come off the board at the 2023 draft just 26 days to be exact – and with the pro days pretty much in the books, teams will be heading home and hunkering down in their respective war rooms putting the final touches… Read More »

Izzy sizzles at Ptt pro day; other work out notes … All but one team was represented at the Pittsburgh pro day earlier today, but in something of an upset, neither Steelers’ GM Omar Khan nor head coach Mike Tomlin, who have been to just about every other major pro day this year, weren’t.

Levis throwing session now done … Kentucky QB Will Levis’ scripted throwing session at the Wildcats pro day just wrapped up. On first blush, it appeared to be a pretty impressive workout.

‘Hawks 3rd team to talk with Tide QB Young; other pro day updates … Interesting that Seattle has been identified as a 3rd team that met privately with Alabama QB Bryce Young over the course of the Tide’s pro day this week.

Pro day updates … Funny, that after what seemed like a rather momentous day on the pro day circuit, there’s actually very little news to report. Needless to say the reviews of Ohio State QB CK Stroud’s 55-pass scripted throwing session were pretty much universally applauded. Of course, it would be news if they weren’t! Meanwhile, along with… Read More »
Pro day updates … No surprise here as there was a big crowd at today’s Iowa State pro day workout with all 32 teams represented. And again no surprise that Pittsburgh lead the way with both G.M.

Post first-wave free agency mock posted … With the frantic first wave of free agency now pretty much in the books, we figured now was as good as any time to update our last first-round mock done post-combine.
