Now that we have let the dust settle on the 2022 NFL Draft, it is time to look at the top prospects in 2023. This year’s class looks like a strong group and is led by Will Anderson Jr., who easily would have been the top pick this year. In addition to having one of the best defensive players to come out in years, this class also features a strong quarterback group that has two of the top five players in the 2023 NFL Draft.

While these rankings will obviously change over the year this is a good look at which prospects to keep an eye on this year. It also is a good indicator of who improved their stock or took a nosedive with a poor 2022 season.

Please note the grade by each player is where I would take them in the NFL Draft not where I project them to go. Also, if you feel like I missed a player I would appreciate you noting that player in the comments down below.
