25. Seattle Seahawks (via DEN): Sedrick Van Pran, C, Georgia

The Seattle Seahawks landed Bryce Young earlier in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, and now they get some more protection up front. Cross and Lucas are a fine start, but with Austin Blythe set to hit free agency, center has an opening. Sedrick Van Pran is an excellent center who understands angles, hits second level landmarks, finishes in the run game, and is a great pass protector.

26. Baltimore Ravens: Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon

The Baltimore Ravens always find value in the NFL Draft, so why not keep up that tradition in mock drafts too? While Patrick Queen has flashed, he still has questions in year three, and Malik Harrison hasn’t gotten it done. Noah Sewell is brimming with traits, and as long as he improves the tackling, he’ll be a top level prospect.

27. Minnesota Vikings: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

The Vikings found a way to win late to get to 2-1, and they’re doing it with other names than Justin Jefferson. Even Irv Smith Jr. is getting in on the party. Tight end still remains a need for the Vikings, and Michael Mayer is sitting here at the end of round one. Mayer’s short area quickness and route savvy give him versatility in his alignment, and he has the size to play inline.

28. New York Giants: Jaren Hall, QB, BYU

The New York Giants are off to a good start in 2022, and the Brian Daboll/Joe Schoen combo is already paying dividends. Still, Daniel Jones likely won’t be their guy in 2023, and while Jaren Hall is an older prospect, his accuracy, anticipation, and playmaking ability is worth a late first round pick.
