It’s time for the 2023 NFL Draft live from Kansas City as many players dreamed about being in this league will come tru. They have worked throughout their whole college career for this moment with the Combine, pro days, meeting with coaches, continuing to stay ready and finishing school on a positive note. All the NFL teams want players that want to compete at a high level, win games and be great teammates. Anything can happen on Thursday’s NFL Draft but it is always awesome to see the players reactions with their families after they get drafted.

Some teams are still going thru their draft boards to see which players fit best with the team, system and needs. They usually finalize everything by Wednesday, Thursday morning or right before Draft time. Each board changes by the minute when names are being announced. There is great talent in this draft where you can find value during the later rounds also. So here is my final mock draft before Thursday’s NFL Draft in Kansas City.
