2023 NFL Draft Stock Up
Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas As we reported in the Hot Press, Robinson is the only prospect who received an elite grade from many teams. They feel that of the players in the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson is maybe the only one who could be in the discussion as the best player in the league at his position during his rookie contract. Robinson is viewed across the scouting community as being the complete package with size, speed, athleticism, rare instincts, rare receiving ability, and excellent character.
Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech Wilson was a fast-rising prospect at the end of the 2022 season, and he now is a firm contender to end up as a top-five pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Wilson has excellent size and length to go along with speed and athleticism. After Will Anderson and Jalen Carter, Wilson should be the next defensive lineman selected in the 2023 NFL Draft. There a lot of NFL teams in need of defensive line help, and Wilson could continue to rise with strong workouts.
Jerrod Clark, DT, Coastal Carolina The 6-foot-4, 340-pound Clark is a large nose tackle who was a solid producer for the Chanticleers over the past few seasons. In 2022, he totaled 40 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He notched 33 tackles and two sacks in 2021. Clark could be a mid-round candidate for the 2023 NFL Draft who ends up turning into a solid nose in the NFL.
Tyson Bagent, QB, Shepherd Bagent earned a spot at the Senior Bowl, which is a big accomplishment for a small-school passer. In 2022, he totaled 4,580 yards, 41 touchdowns and eight interceptions, dominating his weaker level of competition. Bagent (6-3, 210) could prove himself to be draft-able with a strong week in Mobile.
Dylan Horton, DE, TCU Horton finished the 2022 season in dominant fashion. After recording only four sacks in the regular season, he exploded for six sacks during the postseason, notching two versus Kansas State and then four against Michigan. Georgia held Horton in check, but he still was impressive to close out the year, adding 15 tackles to go with those six sacks after the regular season. Horton could continue to rise for the 2023 NFL Draft with a strong Senior Bowl.
Dee Winters, LB, TCU Winters played well in the postseason to help the Horned Frogs make it into the College Football Championship game. In the Big XII conference final, he notched eight tackle and a sack. He then recorded 14 tackles over the two college football playoff games. Winters also had a 29-yard pick-six in TCU’s six-point win over Michigan. With his strong finish to the season, Winters has mid-round and second-day potential in the 2023 NFL Draft.
2023 NFL Draft Stock Down
Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson The media has not caught on that NFL teams are not as high on Bresee as the media projections. Bresee was overweight this past season and did not show significant development as a pass rusher. While there are projections of him going high in the first round, he is more of a second-day prospect for the 2023 NFL Draft.
