If you want to view Chris Dell's Mock Draft 1.0 and other early takeaways from our 2023 NFL Draft Most Accurate Mock Consensus tool, you can read his free article, which dropped April 1st here.
In case you missed it: we've researched and identified the best mock draft experts over the last several years and combined each of their mock drafts into one easy-to-read, sortable spreadsheet. Our Consensus NFL Mock Draft database will allow you to see what the experts think of each player and each team, without the distraction of other 'inferior' (less accurate) mock drafters. When we reference average draft position (ADP) at the Betting Predators, we don't just calculate the entire collection of mock drafts on the internet, we simply highlight the ADP (average draft position) of the experts - and the results of each mock draft expert we take into the highest consideration. Here below you'll also find a list of each NFL team's biggest positional needs based on both team beat reporters across the industry and some of the top-rated NFL draft coverage platforms. Our goal with this list is to provide us with a baseline of logical, realistic fits at each position throughout the entire 2023 NFL Draft and our own upcoming mocks. Each positional "need" is listed in order from left to right for each team (no more than six positions listed per team) with the left being the biggest apparent need. We will continue to update this list as more reporting and news from teams drops through draft day:
