29. Denver Broncos (via SF/MIA): Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma

It feels weird to see the Broncos holding this selection, as the Bradley Chubb trade isn’t talked about a ton relative to the draft help it gives Denver. Nevertheless, this is great for the Broncos. They could move out of this spot come draft time to get more capital if they’d like. In this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, they get what they need.

Anton Harrison might end up a top three tackle in the 2023 NFL Draft when all is said and done and film gets watched. He’s got the physical traits that the others do and would be an immediate starter for Denver.

30. Buffalo Bills: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

It’s pretty simple here for the Buffalo Bills in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft. They tried trading for Christian McCaffrey, and they get a bulked up version of him right here with their first round pick. Bijan Robinson is as good as advertised, with the creativity to forced missed tackles in spades. He doesn’t have the elite speed, but he has the twitch, contact balance, receiving ability, and pass blocking chops to be a three-down stud.

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

Where do the Chiefs’ weaknesses lie on offense? The tackle position, plain and simple. While some pressures and sacks are on Patrick Mahomes for scrambling, both tackles in Kansas City aren’t playing very well, and Orlando Brown is a free agent in 2023. Darnell Wright is a stout player at the point of attack and in pass protection, and would be a great fit in KC.

32. Philadelphia Eagles: Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

The Eagles finish out this 2023 NFL Mock Draft, and they do so by acquiring more help along the edge. Georgia’s Nolan Smith might be undersized in some eyes, but he plays so much bigger. He has the power and pop in his hands to stun tackles and shed blocks against the run, and the explosiveness and flexibility as an edge rusher.
