29. Green Bay Packers: Blake Freeland, OT, BYU

The Green Bay Packers drafted two offensive linemen in the 2022 draft, but there’s a chance that both move inside. With questions about David Bakhtiari’s health, tackle could be in play in 2023, and it is in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft. Blake Freeland is a monster in pass protection and should get more national attention this season.

30. Kansas City Chiefs: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama

The Chiefs could have a good mix of receivers this year, but why not add a dynamic running back to the fold who can dominate in space? Jahmyr Gibbs has wicked twitch to have defenders grasping air and is an impact player as a receiver.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devin Leary, QB, North Carolina State

The Buccaneers could have Tom Brady for one more season, and it’s unlikely that Kyle Trask is the long-term answer. In this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, they take a chance at a future starter in Devin Leary. Leary has impressive touch and placement and generates sufficient velocity. He plays extremely well from the pocket and is a quick processor.

32. Buffalo Bills: Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina

Jamison Crowder has the slot duties for the Bills in 2022, but an upgrade could be in order in 2023. Josh Downs is an exciting playmaker after the catch that also makes impressive acrobatic catches to bail out his quarterback.
