It's been a long time coming, but the 2023 NFL Draft is finally upon us. Whether you are a casual NFL fan or an avid draft follower, this promises to be the most exciting three-day stretch of the offseason.
From now until Saturday evening, teams will have a chance to reshape and reconstruct their rosters. Some will add the next generation of NFL stars to their team while others could make franchise-altering mistakes on draft day that set their team back.
Since the end of the 2022 season, we have all been busy formulating our own opinions on this year's draft prospects and you may have some players in mind you would love your team to come away with this April. Every moment since that time has led us to this.
