Nolan Smith
DE

Georgia

6'2/238

High motor, good burst & has experience in pass coverage (in the flat).

Cameron Jordan (will be 34 in July) can't play at a high level forever folks.

Kancey would be a very interesting choice simply because he's a bit suspect in the run game. The NFC South is run-heavy (with Tampa as the exception).

Whats your thoughts for Kancey being top your list?

I like the speed and pass rush ability up the middle. I fancy the thought of being able to collapse pockets up the middle like Aaron Donald or Warren Sapp. His athleticism is what intrigues me.

The kid from Texas.

Some have him graded as the best RB in this year's RB class. The comparison I hear a lot is Saquan Barkley. An every-down back.

If for whatever reason he falls to the bottom of the 1st, would you consider him?

I think you have to. He's special.

Agreed. As bad as I wanna go DL or OL at 29, that would be very difficult to pass up

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 
Chandler Zavala
G

NC State

Per ESPN, Zavala has played over 1,000 snaps at left guard. 13 starts in 2022 and had an above-average senior season (no sacks allowed/4 pressures).

6'3/325 lb frame & is a capable pass blocker.
Coach him up ... he could fill Peat's role in a year or two.

Mid-round grades (3-5).

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 
JALIN HYATT

WR

Tennessee

He has good speed & his tape suggests he can run away from defenders (see Bama game). Looks like a guy who can stretch the field.

Negatives - slim (170) build, questionable hands, and limited on his route tree.

In time, he could become a legitimate WR2.
Comparison - DeSean Jackson Day 2 grades throughout.
