PFF unveils updated three-round mock with multiple trades in 2023 NFL Draft

As we get closer and closer to the 2023 NFL Draft, we’re getting some of the final mocks and projections ahead of the first round in Kansas City. Plenty is on the line and several big names are expected to hear their names called early. Now, PFF is the latest to share its most updated predictions for the first three rounds.

Like others, Power Football Focus is expecting to see several quarterbacks go early. That includes Ohio State’s CJ Stroud as the No. 1 pick, Alabama’s Bryce Young as the No. 2 pick, and Florida’s Anthony Richardson as the No. 4 pick. From there, they’re looking at a big run on both defensive difference makers as well as offensive linemen.

As far as teams, the Crimson Tide and Buckeyes lead the way with six selections apiece of the 102 selections. The reigning champion Bulldogs aren’t far behind, though, with five total and four coming in the first round.

Then, when it comes to conferences, the SEC reigned supreme for PFF. They earned 32 selections across the 14 members of their league. The Big Ten came in a close second after that with 27 selections across their current teams as well.

Add in plenty of movement via trade and they fully expect a wild trio of rounds to open things up starting on April 27th.
