My buddy asked me what I thought of the 2023 NFL Draft and to be honest, I was blown away! If you had asked me a year ago, I would’ve said it was going to be an ordinary draft season. But I couldn’t have been more wrong – the 2023 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the greatest ones in the history of the league!
I heard about the first pick – a quarterback from Ohio – weeks before the draft even took place. I couldn’t help but be a bit skeptical, given that the league has been opting for more defensive players in recent years. But hearing the details made my jaw drop: this quarterback was a five-star, with the ability to make incredible plays in the pocket. He had an incredible arm, and could make throws that no other quarterback could match.
The second pick was another surprise: a wide receiver who came from somewhere no one had heard of, and yet managed to impress enough scouts to make him loved by almost all. His hands were like magnets, and he was extremely agile and speedy – exactly the kind of player you want in the NFL.
It wasn’t all about the background stories and athleticism, though: the third pick was a defensive end from Alabama. He was strong, stable, and the perfect fit for the team that drafted him. He was a six-foot five-inch, two-hundred-and-fifty-pound machine, and I’m sure his impact on the defensive gameplan of the team will be immense.
A lot of the other picks were also interesting selections. There were a few running backs chosen that I hadn’t expected to fall so low on the draft board, as well as a guard who could provide serious depth and protection on the offensive line. There were also a few offensive tackles who could make a difference on any line, and two tight ends who could give the big men some much-needed rest in the game.
Add to that two really talented linebackers and two wily cornerbacks, and the draft was really a surprise package for the entire NFL. I’m so excited to see how this class of 2023 pans out. There is so much potential, and I think it’s going to be a really special draft for the NFL.
I heard more detailed opinions about the rookies from my friend who is really into the NFL. He said that there a few players that could make a real impact on the team. He mentioned the quarterback from Ohio, the wide receiver from an unknown place, the guard, and the linebacker in particular. He said that all of them had great potential to be the star players for their respective teams.
It definitely was an interesting draft, full of surprises. There were, of course, some questions about how the teams would use their picks, but the one thing we could all agree on was that the 2023 NFL Draft was an extraordinary one. Every team seemed to have gotten a player they need, as well as a few hidden gems for the future. I’m really looking forward to seeing these rookies in action, and to see how the entire league is going to be impacted.
