ESPN, Todd McShay update for 2023 NFL Draft rankings after Week 5 of college football

Todd McShay of ESPN has updated his 2023 NFL Draft rankings through five weeks of college football.

“We’re nearly halfway through the 2022 college football season, and the 2023 NFL draft is a little over six months away. A lot will change over the rest of the season and during the pre-draft process in terms of how the top prospects stack up and who is considered a first-round talent, but this class is loaded,” wrote McShay. “We’re talking franchise quarterbacks, playmaking offensive stars, sack-happy edge rushers and ball-hawking defensive backs.

“I ranked my top 32 prospects for the 2023 class, which includes a handful of quarterbacks who I think can be NFL starters.”

With a bevy of studs available next April, NFL teams are excited as ever to get to the 2023 NFL Draft. Here’s who McShay believes is the best of the best, and will be at the top of each team’s draft boards.
