29. Kansas City Chiefs: Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee

The Kansas City Chiefs barely survived a game in Houston this week, which felt very out of character. However, this team has a glaring weakness heading into the postseason. Both Orlando Brown and Andrew Wylie have allowed 43 pressures, and Brown is a free agent after the season. Darnell Wright is a powerful, stout tackle at the point of attack, and he could help settle the issues at tackle right away.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah

Are the Minnesota Vikings the team of destiny? Maybe, as coming back from a 33 point deficit proves they can win any game they play. When looking to the future, the secondary is one that needs a bigger boost, even with the expectations for Andrew Booth and Lewis Cine next season. Clark Phillips III is a smaller corner, but he’s such a talented player in coverage.

31. Buffalo Bills: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

The rich get richer. The Buffalo Bills could look to help out the offensive line with Cody Mauch or O’Cyrus Torrence, but why not end the Bijan Robinson slide in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft? The Bills were definitely interested in Christian McCaffrey, and Robinson presents a stouter version of McCaffrey in the 2023 NFL Draft. Robinson’s ability to create more for himself, whether it be between the tackles or in space, is incredible. He can drop the pads, and is a phenomenal receiver who adds a fabulous dimension to the offense.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

The Philadelphia Eagles got a corner early, and they continue to reload the defense at the end of the first round. The edge rushers are getting older and entering free agency outside of Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick. Nolan Smith isn’t the biggest edge rusher, but the power he plays with is impressive, and he can affect all three downs.
