The Fourth of July is here and that means the smell of football is in the air for the fairweather fans of the world. As you sit down around the fire, drink a cold one, and pull out the s’more kit this summer, I’d like to give you something to talk about. And so it begins, the 2023 NFL Mock Draft Series. Starting in November of last season for the 2022 class, there is no better time than now to dive into the 2023 class head first and break down the immense talent in this class. From the top defender in Will Anderson from Alabama to the top quarterbacks in C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young, this NFL Draft is looking like a Top 10 for the ages.
Over the next six weeks, not only will we be getting you all the necessary information regarding the 2022 fantasy season, but I will be dropping an article each week breaking down players at each position in the 2023 NFL Draft Class. In Dynasty, we need to be looking ahead and what better way than to be alert before, and during the College Football season. Aside from NFL Mock Draft Data, you can find 2022 Rookie Mock Draft ADP (SuperFlex and 1QB) as well as Dynasty Mock Draft ADP (SuperFlex and 1QB), a Dynasty League Trade Finder App, Rankings, and a Trade Analyzer inside Dynasty Deluxe. Be sure to tune in on Twitter @CarpentierNFL and @RotoUnderworld for boots-on-the-ground analysis throughout the NFL Draft process.
