It’s mock draft season, which also means it’s guessing season.
The 2023 NFL draft might be one of the most intriguing drafts in recent memory because two, or maybe three, quarterbacks are in the running of being the No. 1 pick come April 27 in Kansas City. Beyond the quarterbacks, there are plenty of unknowns at various positions, and that might force teams to prioritize scheme fits over physical traits.
With free agency behind us, and with the help of scouting reports from the draft experts, here’s my best guess at how the first-round of the draft will play out.

Anthony Richardson will reportedly visit at least half a dozen different NFL franchises.
The former Florida quarterback is expected to be one of the first passers off the board in the first round of the NFL Draft April 27.
The dual-threat QB has plenty of raw talent and incredibly physical tools, but still needs a lot of polishing before he’s ready to lead a franchise.

There’s no question the NBA play-in tournament has been a successful addition to the league’s postseason format. After experimenting with the idea during the bubble in 2020, the NBA instituted the play-in tournament to determine the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in each conference ahead of the 2021 playoffs. The play-in tournament has given us a few memorable moments in first few years, and this season could be the best one yet with so much parity throughout the standings.

Joel Embiid’s performance on Tuesday night against the Celtics only strengthened the dominant big man’s grip on the 2023 NBA MVP award.
Embiid led the way scoring a game-high 52 points in the 76ers‘ 103–101 victory. The seventh-year center finished with a double-double, grabbing 13 rebounds and dishing out six assists.
The explosive outing was good enough for Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers to declare there is doubt who the best player in the league is this season.
“The MVP race is over,” Rivers said at the podium after the game.
