2023 NFL Mock Draft: Second Round

32. PIT-Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State

33. HOU-Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

34. AZ-John Michael Schmitz, OC, Minnesota

35. IND-Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State

36. LAR-BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU

With their first pick in this 2023 NFL Mock Draft the Los Angeles Rams, who have maybe the most depleted roster in the NFL, go with the best available player. BJ Ojulari has first-round upside (like his brother Azeez did, who ended up as a second-round pick of the New York Giants) that will fill the Leonard Floyd role as an explosive and versatile outside linebacker who can get after the quarterback.

37. SEA-Joe Tippmann, OC, Wisconsin

38. LV-Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee

39. CAR-Keion White, DL, Georgia Tech

40. NO-Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
