NBC’s Peter King released his 2023 NFL Mock Draft as his Football Morning in America article on Monday, and it revealed some fascinating information.

The longtime NFL writer projected some interesting selections to take place ahead of Thursday’s highly-anticipated event. Evidently, King believes there will be some huge swings, including a gigantic trade at the top of the board.

With many questions surrounding the quarterback class in the 2023 NFL Draft, it’s tough to get a handle on where each signal caller will end up. Many agree with King, that Alabama’s Bryce Young will go No. 1 overall to the Carolina Panthers, but it gets dicey afterwards.

Here’s King’s full first round 2023 NFL Mock Draft, complete with trades and everything in between.
