It's officially NFL draft season. The 2023 NFL Combine is set to get underway next week. Then, it'll be pro days and other individual workouts leading us into the first round of the draft, which is set to get underway on Thursday, April 27 at 7 p.m. CT. For those who know me, you already knew the mock drafts were coming. Below, you'll find my initial predictions for picks 17-32.
