Mapping out the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft:

Northwestern's Peter Skoronski and USC's Jordan Addison

Offensive tackles and wide receivers come off the board:

11th – Tennessee Titans, 12th – Houston Texans (via CLE), 13th – New York Jets, 14th – New England Patriots and 15th – Green Bay Packers

Would I be surprised if an offensive tackle sneaks into the top 10? No. A wide receiver? Certainly more so. But I think picks 10 to 15 are really the sweet spot for both those positions.

The three highest-ranked OTs will all be picked here, I believe. Those names are Ohio State’s Paris Johnson Jr., Georgia’s Broderick Jones and Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski – who some project to move inside to guard, depending on how the length of his arms measure.

To me, USC’s Jordan Addison is the best wide receiver on tape, with pristine route-running and excellent skills for the position, and TCU’s Quentin Johnston is the type of profile that typically gets taken in the early teens, thanks to his combination of size and explosiveness. I feel pretty good about at least one of those coming off the board in this range before we get a proper WR run in the 20s.

The Titans, Jets and Packers are all very much in the market for offensive tackles, while the Texans and Patriots really need wide receiver help. Once again, I feel better about a tackle run happening, because the Patriots may lose Isaiah Wynn and Marcus Cannon, while Trent Brown only just played a full season for the first time since 2018 – his first year in New England.

Depending on Houston’s long-term plans for their bookends, they could be in the market, but receiver seems more logical, having the first pick at that position most likely.

Tennessee and New York could go that route theoretically, but they used first-rounders on receivers last year, looking back at eventual Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson and a player who certainly had his flashes when healthy in Treylon Burks.

The team that could go off the board to some degree here is the Packers. With the way they value versatile defensive backs and Adrian Amos most likely moving on in free agency, Alabama’s Brian Branch will be a popular match. And after losing a couple of tight ends in free agency, a guy with the complete skill set of Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer could definitely make sense, too.
