NFL Draft 2023 – Edge Defenders Head Strong Defensive Class

The NFL Draft 2023 is strongest on the defensive side of the ball and the edge class is the leader. This year 5-7 prospects will probably fall in the first round with a total of 12-15 selected in the top 100 selections. Edge defenders are the most important defensive position with the ability to change games with one play. This year’s group is a high quality class with many well developed prospects to step in as rookies and make a difference. Clubs will invest heavy here with many prospects demanding a top selection, making this position the riskiest on the defensive side of the ball.

Edge Defenders – Grade: A

    Positional Overview:

This year’s edge defenders’ class is a very strong group which could produce as many as six #1 picks. There are several blue-chip prospects at the top and probably 5 could go in the top 25 selections. There could be as many as 12-15 in the top three rounds with as many as 20+ thru the middle rounds. Will Anderson is the best defender in this draft class and could be a top three overall pick. He is NFL ready and a three-down starter.  He is an explosive edge defender and the best of this special class of edge rushers. He figures in the top few selections. Tyree Wilson is a complete fast-rising player who figures in the top ten selections. He could surprise and has the freakish athleticism to fit both NFL fronts in two positions. Keion White figures in the top 40 players. He is well developed and can be a day one starter and difference maker. Lukas Van Ness had an impressive final season and displayed a special burst off the edge. He is rated a top 15 selection with a prospect with impact ability in either scheme. Ade Adebawore is a player on the rise and coveted by contenders in the first round to plug and play. He is an emerging edge rusher who may be the wild card in the top 30-40 selections. Twelve prospects figure in the top 100 picks and fit the edge rusher role. Will McDonald, Zack Harrison and Felix Anudike-Uzomah are quality edge rushers with fine production and have the developed talent to start in either front. Tuli Tuipulotu figures both outside and inside and could fit best in a five-technique position. There should be an expected run throughout the top 150 picks especially from the 2nd thru the 4th rounds. With the huge demand for rushers, clubs will draft into this deep group for prospects. Expect approximately 25-30 prospects chosen over the three-days with the importance of rushers playing a huge part in game strategy. This is a top-heavy group and deep class through the middle rounds.

          NFL Teams in need:

1. Cardinals           5. Colts
2. Broncos              6. Falcons        
3. Chiefs                  7. Jaguars
4. Saints                  8. Texans

Jets Finally Complete Deal for Packers’ Aaron Rodgers

The long awaited trade between the NY Jets and the Green Bay Packers for star QB Aaron Rodgers was finally completed. The blockbuster trade has been discussed for the past few months with only final compensation delaying the completion. The Jets receive the 4-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers along with the Packers first round 2023 pick (#15) and a 5th round this year (#170) in exchange for New York’s 2023 1st-rounder (#13), 2023 second-round (#42) and sixth-round (#207) picks, as well as a conditional 2024 second-round selection that could become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays in at least 65% of the Jets’ snaps this year.

The Jets have spent the offseason working on this trade, plus bringing in new offensive players on the roster to facilitate transforming their 25^th ranked offense into a playoff contender. They signed wideouts Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman to boost a receiving corps that features rookie sensation former #1 pick, Garrett Wilson and vet Cory Davis. The Jets also look to running back Breece Hall returning from an ACL injury. He was having an outstanding rookie performance when injured at midseason. Jets will probably focus on their offensive line with their early selections #15 and #43 in the NFL Draft 2023 which begins Thursday night at 8 pm

Strong Cornerback Group Tops Talented Defensive Class

Cornerbacks – Grade: A

     Frank Coyle/ Head scout

Positional Overview:

This year’s cornerback class is a high-quality group which is very deep, though not as top heavy as last year. There are a few blue chips expected to go in the mid-1st round with many other highly regarded corners expected to go through the top 50-100 overall selections. Underclassmen dominate our top ten prospects, though the senior group is a very solid with nice development. Devon Witherspoon is our #1 prospect with Christian Gonzalez and Joey Porter expected to earn mid first round selections. Witherspoon could be selected in the top 10 overall picks with a rookie starting grade. Gonzalez has the skill set to start early and is NFL ready after an awesome final performance. Porter is another in a long line of PSU corners to enter the NFL. He is a physical cover man with the NFL makeup to excel on the outside. Deonte Banks has prototypical shutdown skills for the pro game. He is rising fast and could earn a late 1st round selection. Teammate Jakorian Bennett is a rising cover man with well-developed talent to press for early starting time. Cam Smith and Kelee Ringo are possible late first round or early 2nd round picks. Both are SEC battle tested and figure to press for starting jobs in camp. Darius Rush and Emmanuel Forbes are another pair of talented big SEC corners. Rush is coming off an impressive career finish. Forbes is the best ball hawk in this class and has the length DCs like in outside defenders. Tyrique Stevenson and DJ Turner are well developed athletes who are NFL ready. Turner is coming off an impressive final performance plus an amazing NFL Combine sprint. They could go on the mid-2nd day. This is a deep group that will supply many NFL starters well into the 3rd day of the process. There could be at least 12 prospects selected in the top 100 choices. There will probably be 15+ prospects selected in the top 150 picks with the expected run-on corners from the mid-1st round through the early 3rd day. This class has very good depth and will provide a number of middle round steals. This position has annually provided the most overall selections and could duplicate that again. This group could supply as many as 35 total prospects and another 40 high priority FA. This deep crop of corners will supply a huge group of big corners with some versatility to also slide to safety in the nickel and dime sub packages.

Free Agency – 2nd Tier Features Odell, Floyd, Wagner & Risner

 Top Remaining Free Agents – Unrestricted & ‘Street’ Players

    March 21, 2023
     Frank Coyle/ Head scout

  Rank / Player / Position / Team / Age  

9. Leonard Floyd, Edge, Rams: Age 29

Cap casualty in LA and still effective after 9 sacks in 2022. Expect a contender stepping to the plate and landing him.

12. Dalton Risner, G, Broncos. Age: 28.

Tough durable veteran with rare versatility and consistently high grades. Excellent pass protector.

    13. Odell Beckham, WR, Rams – Age: 30
Playmaker looks to return from his 2nd ACL surgery. GMen and Boys at the head of the line.

15. Bobby Wagner, LB, Rams – Age: 33

Another Rams cap casualty and part of the endless SB hangover. Still an impact defender, though only
a short deal works here.

20. Yannick Ngakoue, DE, Colts – Age: 28

This playmaker changes teams annually and will again entertain all offers. Becoming a situational edge
piece, though still very effective on passing downs.

22. D.J. Chark, WR, Lions – Age: 26

Fast young veteran comes off an injury riddled stay in Detroit. High quality #2 in right scheme.

26. Marcus Peters, CB, Ravens – Age: 30

Tough veteran corner is still playing at a high level and will perk interest from playoff clubs, though
probably on a shorter deal.

33. Donovan Smith, OT, Bucs – Age: 28

Young vet left tackle was a late addition as a cap casualty. Look for a contender on a short deal.

43. Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Raiders – Age: 27

Savvy young cover man has performed well when healthy. Talented cornerback could be great value
on deal.

45. Taylor Rapp, S, Rams – Age: 25

Tough young run stuffer with improved coverage skills.

49. Mecole Hardman, WR, Chiefs – Age: 25

Fast young vet is coming off hamstring surgery. One of the best returners in the league and a
playmaker from the slot or outside especially on reverses and screens.
