The Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread

[BucsNBills]

Carrol doing his best to rebuild the Legion of Boom. Great pick.

[Cheb]

Devon Witherspoon is a very good corner. Him and Woolen as a starting CB duo is going to be disgusting.

[Snake]

Levi Wallace - Witherspoon comparison**

Witherspoon is a fun watch but requires evaluators to carefully consider his strengths and weaknesses relative to scheme. He plays with anticipation, route feel and a consistent sense of urgency to prevent catches, as displayed by his high number of pass breakups. He plays with ballhawking eyes and good balance from zone coverage and is very aggressive tackling both after the catch and in run support. There are snaps where he gets behind and stays behind due to a lack of premium speed and closing burst, so he might require help over the top or a more zone-oriented scheme to help him shine. The playmaking mentality and traits give him a solid chance to become a CB2 in the league

Strengths
Allowed completion rate of just 34.9% in 2022, per PFF.
Impressive route recognition and trigger on the throw.
Eyes are probing from off coverages.
Well-balanced defending high/low route concepts from zone.
Instinctive with 14 pass breakups in 2022.
Takes ball-side angles to disrupt the catch point.
Zeroes in on receiver’s hands on deep throws.
Physical with a striker’s mentality in run support and as tackler versus the pass

Weaknesses
Can be jab-stepped off-balance by release fakes.
Coverage is very handsy after the first five yards.
Sluggish to transition hips and match route breaks from his backpedal.
Top-end speed could be an issue at the next level.
Lacks juice to make up the distance when he gets behind.
Will bite hard on play-action and double moves.

Arizona is probably gonna have two top five picks next year.

[_MB_]

That kid can lay some wood.

Great pick Seattle

[Cheb]

Lions go Carter here, I'd imagine.

[BucsNBills]

Arizona is probably gonna have two top five picks next year.

They need a QB, so next year is a good one to have a top 5 pick.

Who are we thinking is going to start the run on left tackles?

[Snake]

Very interested to see what Philly does. Do they take a running back?

Very interested to see if Tennessee takes Levis.

Very interested to see if the Buccaneers would trade up for a QB.

Usual New England trade down?

[Snake]

Arizona trades back up. What the fuck

I love the new NFL. Chaos.

[BucsNBills]

Cardinals traded back up, this is likely Parris Johnson

[Bootz]

Gonzales?

They should take a pass rusher.

How could they not?

Doubt it

Probably

Yep

Yep

Murray openly asked the Cardinals to draft him. Looks like they listened.

[_MB_]

Arizona

[Snake]

Hey kyler, can you stay in the pocket more so we don’t waste money on this left tackle?

[Cheb]

Well there goes the first of the Big Four OTs.

Arizona got a good one.

[Snake]

I mean, who is playing quarterback for the Las Vegas raiders?

[Bootz]

That suit makes Paris Johnson look like he weighs about 250 at best.

[Bootz]

Hey kyler, can you stay in the pocket more so we don’t waste money on this left tackle?

Arizona was 31st in pass blocking

Props to his tailor.

This is a good step in the right direction

[Snake]

Best available per ESPN

[Bootz]

How far does Levis fall?

[TonyLip]

Stylin’!

[_MB_]

Wilson looks fuckin sick with that suit and shades.

That's old school cool

[Backside]

How far does Levis fall?

19

[BucsNBills]

How far does Levis fall?

Tennessee and the Redskins are the most likely. Can't see him getting past 15.

[BucsNBills]

How far does Levis fall?

19

Works for me. Great upside and a chip on his shoulder.

[Doctor]

Houston is using all of that capital they got from the Watson deal very wisely.

Getting Stroud & Anderson is a great 1st round for the Texans.

Perhaps, but if I were a betting man I'd say they are both busts and Texans are full of regret.

[Navybuc]

How far does Levis fall?

I think Titans get him at 11

[_MB_]

How far does Levis fall?

I think Titans get him at 11

How could they not after what's happened in the AFC south tonight?

[Doctor]

I love Witherspoon. He was one of my bluechip. Not on Sauce's level but a notch below. I think he's going to be fantastic.
