Frank Coyle/ Head scout

DL Lukas Van Ness – Packers
Emerging versatile playmaker has improved significantly over his recent career. Gives the Packers a diverse front seven defender who can create big mismatches.

Frank Coyle is a long-time scout with nationwide ties with coaches, scouts and player agents. He is a long-time scout from mini-camp through training camps prior to the regular and postseason. He is a consultant to many NFL player agents related to all levels of preparation for both NFL Free Agency and the NFL Draft process.

He does sports radio shows for ESPN, Fox Sports and Sporting News on a year-round basis related to College Football especially during the postseason team and All-star Bowl time. He has worked for CBS Sports, NBC Sports, Yahoo and Rivals sports publications and web sites.

LB Jack Campbell – Lions
Gritty backer will be counted on to be the anchor in this defense. He reflects HC Dan Campbell’s mentality and should be an early three down starter.

CB Devon Witherspoon – Seahawks
Quick cover man has been hindered in camp by hamstring issues, but has the makeup and level of development to become a top flight NFL corner early in his career.

CB Tre Banks – Giants
Prototypical cover man stepped in like a veteran this preseason. Capable of being a shutdown corner in time and counted on to be a tough starter now.

DT Jalen Carter – Eagles
Big agile athlete joins a potent front line. Capable of impact in limited reps where his initial burst can be very disruptive from the inside.

CB Emmanuel Forbes – Commanders
Ball hawk was a welcome addition here. He will benefit from a strong front four and hopes to continue his legacy to intercept passes.

LB Drew Sanders – Broncos
Instinctive defender will get reps both inside and outside and should become a fixture in this front seven within a short time.

CB Christian Gonzalez – Patriots
Long cover man should excel in a Bill Belichick defense and become a fixture in this defense. His skill set allows Belichick to play diverse schemes.

Safety Brian Branch – Lions
Savvy versatile defender gives this secondary a leader and playmaker who can provide impact this fall from a few roles.

Edge Keion White – Patriots
Athletic versatile edge defender has the talent to become a three down difference maker with refinement. Probably starts as a key rotational front seven for pass rushing sets.

CB Mekhi Blackmon – Vikings
Quick savvy cover man has a high level of development to be a mainstay in this secondary and possible a fulltime rookie starter.

NFL Top Offensive Rookies for 2023

Frank Coyle/ Head scout

WR Zay Flowers – Ravens

Highly developed playmaker should become a favorite for Lamar Jackson immediately. Capable of opening up this attack and giving them a huge boost

Photo – WR Zay Flowers – Ravens (school)

RB Bijan Robinson – Falcons
Complete back should be the linchpin here and get 200+ touches this season.

WR Quenton Johnston – Chargers
Huge athlete will give this air attack a huge boost for strong armed Justin Herbert and has the talent to be the #1 here within a short time.

RB Jahmyr Gibbs – Lions
Playmaker gives the Lions their best three down runner since Barry Sanders. Probably becomes their feature performer this fall in this attack.

QB Bryce Young – Panthers
Overall top pick has responded well to HC Frank Reich’s coaching and gets the starting call opening day. Shows the makeup to handle the big stage.

TE Dalton Kincaid – Bills
Big agile receiver gives QB Josh Allen a highly developed weapon with impact ability in this attack especially in the red zone.

WR Marvin Mims – Broncos
Coming off a great preseason, this speedster is perfect fit for three wideout sets. Capable of becoming an early favorite of veteran passer Russell Wilson.

TE Michael Mayer – Raiders
Sure-handed two-way athlete gives QB Jimmy Garoppolo an excellent weapon in the short and intermediate zones and can become a fixture in this attack.

WR Jonathan Mingo – Panthers
The prototypical numbers teams covet in a #1 receiver. Should become rookie QN Bryce Young’s favorite receiver, though must prove consistent catching the ball and route running.

C John Michael Schmitz – Giants
Took to the pivot like a seasoned veteran this preseason. Capable of being a fixture inside here with a strong career.

TE Sam LaPorta – Lions
Developed receiver gives QB Jared Goff an excellent playmaker in the middle zones to move the chains.

WR Jalin Hyatt – Giants
Speedster can take the top off the defense and open this attack for Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. Capable of impact in three wideout sets.

NFL Draft 2023 – First Round Signings

Frank Coyle/ Pro Scout

The 2023 NFL Draft completed all draft choices to signed contracts with the addition of Seattle corner Devon Witherspoon with a four-year deal. Witherspoon was both the last 1^st round and overall draft to sign.  

The first-round selections are now all signed with lucrative signing bonuses ranging from $5.5 million for Felix Anudike-Uzomah of the Chiefs with the last pick of the round to Bryce Young of the Panthers with a $24.6 million bonus with the 1st overall selection.

Devon Witherspoon held out of the initial days of camp until he got his deal done. With few reps missed in the opening week, he still has the inside track of earning the starting job with a strong camp.

NFL Supplemental Draft 2023

The NFL will conduct the Supplemental Draft 2023 on Tuesday, July 11th for players who rescind their remaining college eligibility. This draft has been a short process annually that considers special situations for players that are at least three years removed from high school.

Two players, wideouts Milton Wright of Purdue and Malachi Wideman of Jackson State are the only two entrees. They are expected to be possibly drafted with late-rounds. Recent NFL supplemental drafts have been completed without any players being chosen.

Draft Insiders’ – NFL Supplemental Draft 2023 Report will be available July 10 – Free for Subscribers

All 32 teams will participate in the weighted process that is divided into three tiers with seven prospects entered for this year’s selection draft. Teams with six wins or less from last season will make up the first group, followed by a second group of non-playoff teams and finally a third group of the twelve playoff teams. Each team submits the name of the players via email that they want to draft with the round they would like to select them. The club with the highest selection will be awarded the player. In the case of two teams drafting the same player in a round, the club with the worse record last season will win the prospect. Players not selected in this draft class will then become free agents eligible to sign with any team.

Any team that uses a selection in the Supplemental Draft will forfeit their choice in the corresponding round of the NFL Draft 2024 The new draft prospects will be considered part of the rookie salary pool along with the players from the NFL Draft 2023 and they must fit under the current contract structure and overall salary cap. No players have been drafted the previous past three summers. In 2012, the Browns used their 2nd round pick on wideout Josh Gordon, the only selection chosen in the process. He was a Pro Bowl receiver who set new NFL records several years ago. But he has also been suspended often for failing drug and alcohol tests and is currently out of the league.

Most prospects in a Supplemental class provide little initial impact because of the late signing that caused them to miss all of the OTAs and mini-camp practices. The NFL office has considered terminating this draft process after only minimal interest by clubs. Bids are weighted according to how a team performed the previous season.
