ESPN’s Mel Kiper and Todd McShay made some massive changes <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/36187198/three-round-2023-nfl-mock-draft-mel-kiper-todd-mcshay-predict-102-picks-alternating-all-32-teams">to the top 10 in their latest mock draft.</a>



At this point, there’s a lot of buzz about the Carolina Panthers making their final decision with the No. 1 overall pick. Reportedly, they zeroed in on <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/bryce-young-15984/">Bryce Young</a> of <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a> based on the quarterback canceling his remaining draft visits.



Not only that, there are going to be <a href="https://outsider.com/sports/nfl/nfl-draft-espns-mel-kiper-todd-mcshay-shake-up-top-10-in-updated-mock-draft/">trades and surprising picks in the first 10</a>. Below are McShay and Kiper’s latest top 10.

<h2 id="h-espn-s-latest-top-10-picks-in-2023-nfl-mock-draft">ESPN’s latest top 10 picks in 2023 NFL Mock Draft</h2>



1. Carolina Panthers – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/bryce-young-15984/">Bryce Young</a>, QB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a>



The Panthers get their quarterback of the future and perhaps for right now. Young is the most talented quarterback in the class, according to most, has a Heisman Trophy to show for it and the Alabama pedigree. Size concerns aside, he’s got it all.



2. Houston Texans – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cj-stroud-23666/">C.J. Stroud</a>, QB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ohio-state-buckeyes/">Ohio State</a>



Stroud was the debated top pick of Young. The Buckeyes quarterback put up big numbers during his career, getting to the College Football Playoff last season. He can pick you apart and the Texans might finally have a quarterback.



3. Arizona Cardinals – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/will-anderson-120636/">Will Anderson Jr</a>., EDGE – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a>



The Cardinals need another impact player on defense, so why not take the best one? Anderson played, basically, out of position last season. Despite that, he was still one of the best and his 2021 stat line is still ridiculous. 



4. Indianapolis Colts – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/anthony-richardson-6488/">Anthony Richardson</a>, QB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/">Florida</a>



Richardson is the most polarizing quarterback prospect in the draft but the Colts need something. If this works out, Richardson could be the best one out of the entire class. This is a big project for new head coach Shane Steichen.



5. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jalen-carter-54194/">Jalen Carter</a>, DT – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/">Georgia</a>



A big trade up here. Based on how the draft falls, the ESPN analysts have Seattle making a move into the top five to get the dominant defensive tackle. Yes there are off the field issues, but the Seahawks will go big here.



6. Detroit Lions – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tyree-wilson-118475/">Tyree Wilson</a>, DE – <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-tech-red-raiders/">Texas Tech</a>



Want the other big pass rusher? Take Wilson out of Texas Tech. He just feels like a Dan Campbell type of guy and could start right away. Imagine the next seven to 10 years dealing with Aidan Hutchinson and Wilson? Yikes.



7. Las Vegas Raiders – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/devon-witherspoon-36495/">Devon Witherspoon</a>, CB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/illinois-fighting-illini/">Illinois</a>



The Raiders get a shut down corner here who performed well in the Big Ten. It’s up for debate whether Witherspoon or Christian Gonzalez is the top prospect at this position. You can’t go wrong.



8. Atlanta Falcons – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/christian-gonzalez-22909/">Christian Gonzalez</a>, CB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/oregon-ducks/">Oregon</a>



Speaking of Gonzalez, he’ll go to Atlanta here. It seems like the Falcons are definitely loading up to make a move in a wide open NFC South in 2023. Gonzalez looks like a Day 1 starter.



9. Chicago Bears – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/peter-skoronski-96230/">Peter Skoronski</a>, OT/G – <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/northwestern-wildcats/">Northwestern</a>



Maybe Justin Fields told the front office to get him some weapons and protection. Free agency was for the former and the draft was for the latter. Skoronski was NFL-ready last season. He’ll be great up front for Fields.



10. Philadelphia Eagles – <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/bijan-robinson-10359/">Bijan Robinson</a>, RB – <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a>



This is more of a luxury pick for the Eagles. After losing Miles Sanders to free agency, this is a pretty solid replacement. The backfield of Robinson behind quarterback Jalen Hurts sounds pretty, pretty dangerous for opposing teams.
