9. Indianapolis Colts: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky

Week 13 for the Colts finished with an embarrassing drubbing at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. It feels like the Jeff Saturday hire won’t work well, but the Indianapolis Colts definitely need better talent at the most important positions. In this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, the Colts go quarterback, selecting Kentucky’s Will Levis.

Levis generates easy velocity throwing the football, and he’s been listed as a toolsy passer who needs refinement. The Colts might be able to provide a strong environment for Levis to develop.

10. Atlanta Falcons: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia

The Atlanta Falcons have a conundrum at quarterback for the 2023 season. Will it be Marcus Mariota? Desmond Ridder? Someone else? It’s hard to say, but the Falcons could be missing Kaleb McGary, who is set to hit free agency this offseason. Broderick Jones would be a seamless transition and much more. His movement skills, ability to pull, and space blocking prowess would be welcome in a run-first approach.

11. Green Bay Packers: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern

The Green Bay Packers might actually be bringing back Aaron Rodgers for the 2023 season, and that could mean finding a way to go all in again. Still, this franchise has often looked ahead when it comes to the NFL Draft. In this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, the Packers build up their offensive line for the future. Peter Skoronski is technically refined with a strong anchor. Arm length is his question, but the Packers could move him along the line to get the best five out there.

12. Las Vegas Raiders: Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson

With the run on tackles starting early, the Las Vegas Raiders miss out on getting offensive line help. The next best thing would be to get more help to generate a strong pass rush. Bryan Bresee hasn’t put the season together that many hoped, but his power, length, and functional athleticism have the making for a quality starter for a long time.
