9. New York Giants: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

The New York Giants are up in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, and while quarterback could come calling, it’s going to be an interesting year of evaluation with Daniel Jones. While we wait for a quarterback to break out, a corner to replace James Bradberry is important too. Kelee Ringo has the size and speed to become a lockdown corner at the next level.

10. Washington Commanders: Paris Johnson Jr., OL, Ohio State

The Washington Commanders don’t have a lot of holes, so any direction could make sense here. Even with depth at tackle, Paris Johnson Jr. could elevate the unit up front. He doesn’t have tackle reps just yet, but his pedigree suggests he should have a successful season to vault his stock.

11. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia

The Pittsburgh Steelers just signed Larry Ogunjobi to a deal, but they could look for a long-term option in 2023 and do so in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft. Jalen Carter has the power and anchor to dominate the run game as well as the quickness and rush moves that rival that of former teammate Devonte Wyatt. Positional value might push him down, but some team will be extremely happy to have him.

12. Minnesota Vikings: Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson

The Minnesota Vikings have a solid duo on the edge for the time being, but finding answers on the interior is something the front office will likely address in 2023. Bryan Bresee has struggled with injuries, but his combination of power, length, and athleticism have top 15 upside.
