PFF releases updated 2023 NFL mock draft after initial wave of free agency

A major trade has already shaken up the 2023 NFL Draft order, with the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears swapping spots in the first round. Additionally, the initial wave of free agency has now come and gone, with plenty of more moves to be made. As a result of all of the changes around the league in recent weeks, PFF has released a brand new three-round 2023 mock draft.

A lot of how this draft shakes out will be determined by the quarterbacks. With four quarterbacks likely to go in the top ten, there is a lot of intrigue right at the first few couple of picks. Overall, PFF predicted the four expected first-round quarterbacks in their latest 2023 mock, but just one more through the first three rounds of the draft.

Here is a full look at the new mock draft from PFF, giving an intriguing glimpse into this year’s class. The 2023 NFL Draft will begin on Thursday, April 27.
