    2023 Mock draft

    Mock draft 2023

    Round one ) RB Robinson. The best offensive player on the board. A tripple threat, High YPA guy as an inside runner, an outside runner and a pass catcher. Explosive / elite acceleration, combined with good moves, size, and speed. Enough to beat linebackers and defensive lineman in the open field. He is the best back to come out in years. Our offense sucks.

    Round two ) Offensive line. Patterson. A knockdown offensive line player and people mover. Has not allowed a sack for his enitre career. A leader and team captain. Smart. I don't care if he's not a tackle. We need good guards too.

    Round two ( bears pick ) OT. Parris Johnson A big man, with good movement skills and some developing technique. He will start at Right Tackle moving Chuks left. Moore jr can play the turnstile spot.

    Round three ) Inside linebacker. Campbell a big man who's a tackling machine and productive vs. the pass, with 14 pass defended and 4 interceptions in 23 starts! A team leader, captian and MVP, notice the theme for this mock draft?

    Round four ) DT/NT Mustipher. A big think man, suited for NT in the 3-4 or DT in the 4-3, nickel and dime. I do not care if he's a run defender only!

    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    If they draft another RB in the first round I’m going to be investing a lot more time in fall/winter hobbies.

    OL, DL, CB.

      Trade chase Claypool for draft picks!
      I'm not going RB in Round 1...I'd go Off Line or Def Line

      As a Penn State guy, I like Mustipher, but worry about durability and the way some teams have run over Penn State, not sure he has proven he is a difference maker. I think there are better guys out there for interior DL

          And it's looking like our pick will be much higher than the 24th overall we used to get Najee (where it wasn't my favorite idea, but I didn't think it was unreasonable).

          I like the positions he has in 2-4 though.

          If we can trade Chase, I don't think it's going to be for much value.

          A RB that high is not a good idea in today's NFL.

            It’s early. But I saw 1 mock with Robinson going in late 20s.
            we’ll be picking much higher then that.
            I wouldn’t take him in the 2nd round considering our needs

              Exactly. No more first round runningbacks. We are in the new millimium..you can find good runningbacks in rounds 2 & 3 and even further if your scouting dept. is good enough.

                Joel, thanks for the mock; because this should be where our focus is now..the coming draft.

                But we can't go runningback in the first round. Our lines need upgrades in a serious way and we have to use our first two picks to address the lines. I'd go best linebacker/cornerback available after that. And we need to seriously use free agency; IF...the goal is to compete in 2023. If that isn't our goal (and I'm not judging either way) then they won't. That's what's going to tell me the real direction we are going by they way they use (or don't use) free agency.

                But whenever we get to a point to seriously compete again, this management has to learn to use free agency and join the new millennium.

                  in that order.

                  We should be able to actually trade back
                  and get another day 2 pick as well.

                    I absolutely love the idea of trading back ; I think we can get a 2nd round pick from a team ; not a day two pick from a team. But if we are top 5 in the draft and there are 5 franchise QB's coming out, I'd have to think about trading back. Guess it depends on our evaluation of KP by season's end.

                      we need a #1 CB in the worst way also.

                        I mocked him in round 4, and picked value with need in all cases. Matching value with need. We are rebuilding. We need more than 1 draft. I have not seen or studied all the prospects at tackle or cornerback.
                        Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

                        Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

                          I generally agree but, I think Robinson is a special back. Like I said he is the best back to come out in years. We need lot of help at OT, CB and DL too. I just don't see any productive big time talents like him. If I did they would rank over him on the draft board. And it looks like we need a back.

                            Let's not discount that we may be drafting a QB in Round 1. This may be a repeat of what the Cards did when they draft Rosen and then Kyler Murray.

                              I think it depends where we are picking.

                              If we are in the top 5 or so, I don't like the idea of trading back (at least more than a few spots) because I think the value falls exponentially in the first round draft (unless there's just a huge haul).

                              Maybe if we're around 10th or so?

                              And since I think the value of the 5th round option is less than it was before they changed the pay scales, I'd usually be trying to trade from the end of the 1st into the top of the 2nd. Because I think teams probably value the "first round pick" pedigree and / or overvalue the 5th year option.

                              I guess the counter option is that the 5th year option becomes very valuable when you do get a big hit in the 1st (like TJ or Minkah). So it's either really valuable...or worthless.
