Draft ranges are general value projections, not predictions of an exact selection. Positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical information and athletic testing can influence where a player is ultimately selected. How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round. Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value. High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value. Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value. Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents. Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations. Draft position can vary based on positional value, team needs, scheme fit, medical evaluation and athletic testing.

At 6’3”, ~250, Bailey wins with first-step burst, bend, and a deep pass-rush bag, and the production matches the traits—he posted 14.5 sacks in 2025 and consistently finished pressures with real closing speed. His PFF profile reflects that impact as well, with Bailey grading out at the top of the college EDGE group as a pass rusher. The evaluation hinges on whether he can keep building play strength and run-game anchor, but in a 3-4 OLB / hybrid EDGE role, he projects as an immediate third-down difference-maker with legitimate Round 1 ceiling. PLAYER COMPARISON: CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS Near Elite (70-74) A high-caliber prospect who is expected to become a significant contributor by Year 2. These players have outstanding physical tools and strong football IQ, with only minor flaws in their game.

His first-step quickness and ability to trim the edge make him a dangerous speed rusher, but he needs to develop counter moves and improve run defense to be a three-down player.

2023 NFL Draft: NFL Mock Draft 2.2 | Panthers Trade To #1 Overall | Rodgers Traded | Vegas Moves Up The Bears Trade The First Pick To The Carolina Panthers? In a real-life trade, the Panthers traded with the Chicago Bears to acquire the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, according to ESPN and NFL Network. The Bears will receive the No. 9 and No. 61 picks in the 2023 draft, a first-round pick in 2024, and a second-rounder in 2025, and they will also receive wide receiver DJ Moore, according to ESPN. Who Will Draft Will Levis? Levis is the 4th QB off the board unless we are all being duped. Levis possesses a massive ceiling with comparable traits to Josh Allen, but is he worth giving up draft capital to move up? At this point, for him to go top five, the Colts or the Texans have to love him, or the Cardinals would have to trade back to someone hell-bent on moving up to draft a QB. The Packers Trade Aaron Rodgers To the Jets The New York Jets trade their 2023 1st round pick to the Green Bay Packers with additional future draft capital. The Jets are a young and talented team that is a QB away from being a threat to contend in the AFC. Click here to check out the Football Scout 365 NFL Draft Big Board. Click here to View all of our NFL Draft content in one place. First Round 2023 NFL Mock Draft (1). Carolina Panthers (Via CHI) Select: QB C.J. Stroud | Ohio State Team Needs: QB, RB, TE, ED Pending Free Agents: QB Sam Darnold, DL Matthew Ioannidis, C Bradley Bozeman, LB Cory Littleton Analysis: The Panthers should have taken Justin Fields in the 2021 NFL Draft. In 2023, they aim to make up for that by trading the farm to get their future QB. The two names that make the most sense are C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. The only concern is that the Panthers need a bridge QB to allow Richardson to develop without needing to start as a rookie. C.J. Stroud can walk in and be a day-one starter, but the Panthers traded their number one WR, D.J. Moore, to Chicago, making life even more challenging for a rookie QB. (2). Houston Texans Select: QB Bryce Young | Alabama Team Needs: QB, C, DL Pending Free Agents: TE O.J. Howard, EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DL Rasheem Green, TE Jordan Akins Analysis: Houston gets their QB of the future. Young is a safe bet with a high floor that can make an impact right away. (3). Las Vegas Raiders (via AZ) Select: QB Anthony Richardson | Florida Pending Free Agents: RB Josh Jacobs, CB Rock Ya-Sin, LB Denzel Perryman, WR Mack Hollins, EDGE Clelin Ferrell Analysis: The Raiders need a QB, so they must trade the farm to acquire one of the top four QB's in the 2023 NFL Draft class. The Raiders will pair Anthony Richardson with Josh McDaniel in this mock draft. (4). Indianapolis Colts Select: QB Will Levis | Kentucky Team Needs: QB, OL Pending Free Agents: EDGE Yannick Ngakoue, WR Parris Campbell, OG Matt Pryor, LB Bobby Okereke, E.J. Speed Analysis: New Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Shane Steichen lands a high-ceiling QB. Will Levis would fit perfectly in a similar style of offense as Jalen Hurts. (5). Seattle Seahawks Select: Edge Will Anderson Jr.| Alabama Team Needs: G, C, DL Pending Free Agents: QB Geno Smith, RB Rashaad Penny, DL Poona Ford, OG Phil Haynes, QB Drew Lock Analysis: Seattle wins the lottery in this spot by procuring arguing the most dominant defender in the 2023 NFL Draft. (6). Detroit Lions Select: CB Christian Gonzalez | Oregon Team Needs: DI, LB, CB Pending Free Agents: WR DJ Chark, RB Jamaal Williams, LB Alex Anzalone, OG Evan Brown, CB Mike Hughes Analysis: The Lions could draft Jalen Carter as they did in my mock 2.0, but the 2.2, like the 2.1 version, considers the recent events, and the Lions get cold feet. Carter has been the number one overall pick on our board since November. The Lions decided to take the top CB on the board instead. (7). Arizona Cardinals Select: IDL Jalen Carter | Georgia Team Needs: G, C, ED, CB Pending Free Agents: EDGE J.J. Watt, WR A.J. Green, OT Kelvin Beachum, CB Byron Murphy, C Rodney Hudson Analysis: The Cardinals traded back with the Las Vegas Raiders and will have a shot to draft the best edge, IDL, or CB at pick number 7 while acquiring additional draft capital. (8). Atlanta Falcons Select: Edge Nolan Smith | Georgia Team Needs: WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB Pending Free Agents: RB David Montgomery, C Sam Mustipher, WR N'Keal Harry, WR Dante Pettis Analysis: Nolan Smith jumped back into the top ten of our rankings after his elite NFL Combine performance. The Falcons get the versatile edge rusher that they desperately need. (9). Chicago Bears Select: RB Bijan Robinson| Texas Team Needs: WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB Pending Free Agents: RB David Montgomery, C Sam Mustipher, WR N'Keal Harry, WR Dante Pettis Analysis: This would be a complete 180 for a Bears offense that lacked skill position talent in previous seasons. After a blockbuster trade with the Carolina Panthers, the Bears acquired D.J. Moore, and with the 9th overall pick, they grabbed an elite RB to pair with Justin Fields. (10). Philadelphia Eagles Select: CB Devon Witherspoon | Illinois Team Needs: WR, G, C, IDL Pending Free Agents: DL Javon Hargrave, CB James Bradberry, RB Miles Sanders, C Jason Kelce, DL Fletcher Cox Analysis: I have recently mocked Christian Gonzalez or Devon Witherspoon to the Eagles. The Eagles have a deep and talented roster, but they need CB. (11). Tennessee Titans Select: OT Paris Johnson Jr. | Ohio State Team Needs: WR, T, ED Pending Free Agents: TE Austin Hooper, OG Nate Davis, TE Geoff Swaim, LB David Long, DL Teair Tart Analysis: The Titans need an OT to replace Taylor Lewan. They could go with an edge rusher in this spot. (12). Houston Texans Select: Edge Tyree Wilson | Texas Tech Team Needs: QB, C, DL Pending Free Agents: TE O.J. Howard, EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DL Rasheem Green, TE Jordan Akins Analysis: After drafting a QB at pick 2, the Texans get an athletic freak to bolster the edge of their defense. (13). Green Bay Packers (Via NYJ) Select: EDGE Myles Murphy | Clemson Team Needs: WR, TE, ED, LB Pending Free Agents: WR Allen Lazard, TE Robert Tonyan Jr., OT Elgton Jenkins, S Adrian Amos, DL Dean Lowry Analysis: The Packers now have two first-round picks after trading Aaron Rodgers. (14). New England Patriots Select: Jaxon Smith-Njigba | Ohio State Team Needs: QB, T, ED Pending Free Agents: OT Isaiah Wynn, RB Damien Harris, CB Myles Bryant, CB Jonathan Jones, WR Jakobi Meyers Analysis: The Patriots need to draft a WR, Bill will find a way to pass on a WR for the best available DB or OL, and then he will shock the world and draft Stetson Bennett in the 2nd or 3rd round. (15). Green Bay Packers Select: WR Quentin Johnston | TCU Team Needs: WR, TE, ED, LB Pending Free Agents: WR Allen Lazard, TE Robert Tonyan Jr., OT Elgton Jenkins, S Adrian Amos, DL Dean Lowry Analysis: Drafting a WR in this spot to support Jordan Love in the post-Aaron Rodgers era will be the likely route here. Many believe this will be a TE like Michael Mayer, and rightfully so, but Johnston has a true WR1 upside that could create a nice dup at WR with Christian Watson. (16). Washington Commanders Select: Peter Skoronski | Northwestern Team Needs: QB, G, C, LB Pending Free Agents: DL Daron Payne, QB Taylor Heinicke, OG Wes Schweitzer, LB Cole Holcomb, OG Trai Turner Analysis: Skoronski measured more like an interior guard than an OT, but he does bring positional versatility and can flip inside or outside as needed. (17). Pittsburgh Steelers Select: Joey Porter Jr. | Penn State Team Needs: T, LB, CB Pending Free Agents: DL Larry Ogunjobi, LB Devin Bush, DL Chris Wormley, CB Cam Sutton, QB Mason Rudolph Analysis: With essentially two first-round picks after the Dolphins forfeited pick, the Steelers have an excellent opportunity to capitalize. With apparent needs on the offensive line, they can also grab a top cornerback. (18). Detroit Lions Select: EDGE Myles Murphy | Clemson Team Needs: DL, LB, CB Pending Free Agents: WR DJ Chark, RB Jamaal Williams, LB Alex Anzalone, OG Evan Brown, CB Mike Hughes Analysis: After getting a lockdown CB with their first pick, the Lions could use an interior defender or another edge defender. (19). Tampa Bay Bucs Select: OT Broderick Jones | Georgia Team Needs: QB, TE, G, C, DI Pending Free Agents: QB Tom Brady, LB Lavonte David, DL Akiem Hicks, WR Julio Jones, CB Sean Bunting, S Mike Edwards Analysis: Whoever is under center in 2023 will need to be better protected than Brady was in 2022. Drafting an OL here makes sense, but you must start rebuilding the defense. (20). Seattle Seahawks Select: IDL Calijah Kancey| Pitt Team Needs: WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB Pending Free Agents: RB David Montgomery, C Sam Mustipher, WR N'Keal Harry, WR Dante Pettis Analysis: The Seahawks have bolstered their front 4 with Anderson and Kancey in round one. *Dolphins Forefeit Pick (21). Los Angeles Chargers Select: WR Jordan Addison | USC Team Needs: WR, T, LB, CB Pending Free Agents: DL Jerry Tillery, S Nasir Adderley, RB Sony Michel, LB Drue Tranquill, TE Donald Parham Analysis: The Chargers need help at CB and could use a WR. There is an argument that they could draft an edge rusher with Khalil Mack in his 30s and Joey Bosa's injury-plagued 2022; the Chargers need some youthful depth. (22). Baltimore Ravens Select: CB Kelee Ringo| Georgia Team Needs: WR, ED, CB Pending Free Agents: CB Marcus Peters, QB Lamar Jackson, OT Ja'Wuan James, CB Kyle Fuller Analysis: The Ravens grab a lengthy physical DB to solidify their secondary. (23). Minnesota Vikings Select: CB Emmanuel Forbes | Mississippi State Team Needs: DI, LB, CB Pending Free Agents: TE Irv Smith Jr., RB Alexander Mattison, CB Patrick Peterson, C Garrett Bradbury, WR Olabisi Johnson Analysis: The Vikings need help in their secondary. (24). Jacksonville Jaguars Select: S/CB Brian Branch | Alabama Team Needs: G, C, DB Pending Free Agents: TE Evan Engram, OT Jawaan Taylor, EDGE Arden Key, EDGE Dawuane Smoot, CB Tre Herndon Analysis: Jags need interior OL but take the best nickel safety available. (25). New York Giants Select: WR Zay Flowers | Boston College Team Needs: WR, TE, C, LB Pending Free Agents: QB Daniel Jones, RB Saquon Barkley, DL Dalvin Tomlinson, WR Sterling Shepard, WR Darius Slayton Analysis: The Giants possess decent draft capital. They have needs at WR and TE. The need a dynamic WR to help them stretch the field. (26). Dallas Cowboys Select: LB Trenton Simpson | Clemson Team Needs: WR, DL, LB Pending Free Agents: TE Dalton Schultz, RB Tony Pollard, OT Terence Steele, WR Noah Brown, LB Leighton Vander Esch Analysis: The Cowboys could use upgrades on the OL, but they could also add an elite TE in Michael Mayer to pair with CeeDee Lamb. They can also draft a versatile off-ball LB. (27). Buffalo Bills Select: IOL O'Cyrus Torrence | Florida Team Needs: G, C, DB Pending Free Agents: S Jordan Poyer, LB Tremaine Edmunds, QB Case Keenum, C Mitch Morse, OG Rodger Saffold Analysis: The Bills need to improve their offensive line, but they could also use a pass rusher. If Poyer is moving on, they can go safety in this spot if Brian Branch is still available. (28). Cincinnati Bengals Select: Jahmyr Gibbs | Alabama Team Needs: T, DI, CB Pending Free Agents: S Jessie Bates III, TE Hayden Hurst, CB Eli Apple, S Vonn Bell, RB Samaje Perine Analysis: With the Bengals front office not likely committing to Joe Mixon, why not grab the speed of Jahmyr Gibbs to pair with Burrow and Chase? (29). New Orleans Saints Select: IDL Mazi Smith | Michigan Team Needs: QB, DI, CB Pending Free Agents: DL David Onyemata, EDGE Marcus Davenport, WR Jarvis Landry, RB Mark Ingram, QB Andy Dalton Analysis: The Saints have options to replace the often-injured Marcus Davenport. (30). Philadelphia Eagles Select: IOL Steve Avila | TCU Team Needs: WR, G, C Pending Free Agents: DL Javon Hargrave, CB James Bradberry, RB Miles Sanders, C Jason Kelce, DL Fletcher Cox Analysis: The Super Bowl runner-up and a team with many potential pending free agents and Center Jason Kelce, who is mulling the idea of retiring. The Eagles need to find their Kelce replacement in the middle of their offensive line. With other needs at CB and the potential that James Bradberry could move on, the Eagles will have some solid options. (31). Kansas City Chiefs Select: Edge Lukas Van Ness | Iowa Team Needs: WR, DL, EDGE Pending Free Agents: OT Orlando Brown Jr., WR Mecole Hardman, WR Juju Smith-Schuster, S Juan Thornhill Analysis: The Super Bowl champs have a young defense with great potential and could use a WR. But after releasing Frank Clark, they need to add another pass rusher.

2023 NFL Draft Rookie QB Debuts, Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and More Week 1 of the preseason is always exciting around the NFL, specifically for the rookies set to make their professional debuts. As the first-year players are set to begin their NFL careers, the quarterbacks are in the spotlight. Below is a quick review of each NFL Draft Rookie QB Debut in week one of the 2023 NFL preseason. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers Draft Round: 1 (No. 1 overall) Performance: Young's debut was challenging, going 4 of 6 for 21 yards and taking a few big hits. He also took a hard hit on a completion to Adam Thielen. The Panthers didn't score on any of his three series. Young's resilience was evident, but his performance showed that there's room for growth as he adapts to the professional level. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans Draft Round: 1 (No. 2 overall) Performance: Stroud's debut was less than ideal, finishing 2 of 4 for 13 yards with a 17.7 rating. An early interception to Jalen Mills on a third-and-long on the first possession of his NFL career highlighted a rough debut. Despite the rough start, Stroud's potential is undeniable, and he'll look to bounce back in the coming weeks. Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts Draft Round: 1 (No. 4 overall) Performance: Richardson's debut was mixed, going 7 of 12 for 67 yards with an interception. He had a deep touchdown pass taken away when Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce couldn't haul the ball in. His interception came on the Colts' first possession, but his potential was evident in flashes. Will Levis, Tennessee Titans Draft Round: 2 (No. 33 overall) Performance: Levis entered the game in the second quarter for the Titans, relieving Malik Willis. He threw a game-ending interception in the final seconds of Saturday's loss to the Bears, finishing 9 of 14 for 85 yards (51.2 rating). Levis's performance was a mixed bag, but his confidence and ability to move the ball were promising. Hendon Hooker, Detroit Lions Draft Round: 3 (No. 68 overall) Performance: Hooker has missed all of training camp, recovering from ACL surgery, and did not play in the preseason opener. Jake Haener, New Orleans Saints Draft Round: 4 (No. 127 overall) Performance: Haener will make his debut for the Saints on Sunday against the Chiefs. Expectations are high for the young quarterback, and his performance will be eagerly anticipated. Stetson Bennett, Los Angeles Rams Draft Round: 4 (No. 128 overall) Performance: Bennett debuted in the second quarter for the Rams on Saturday night, relieving Brett Rypien. On his first possession, Bennett led the Rams on a 16-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, throwing an 11-yard touchdown pass to Puka Nacua. Bennett's poise and efficiency were impressive, finishing 6 of 11 for 53 yards and a touchdown. Aidan O'Connell, Las Vegas Raiders Draft Round: 4 (No. 135 overall) Performance: Aidan O'Connell had an excellent rookie debut. He looked poised, confident, and decisive from the pocket. AOC completed 15 of 18 throws for 141 yards, 1 TD pass, and a 117.8 rating. He is on my radar and will be a guy I am targeting on waivers in dynasty formats. Clayton Tune, Arizona Cardinals Draft Round: 5 (No. 139 overall) Performance: Tune went 13 of 23 for 135 yards with a touchdown and an interception on Friday. He was particularly impressive on the Cardinals' first touchdown drive of the preseason, going 6 of 7 for 67 yards and finding Kaden Davis on a 7-yard pass. Despite an interception on his first possession, Tune's performance solidified his position as the backup to Colt McCoy if Kyler Murray does not return early in the 2023 season. Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Cleveland Browns Draft Round: 5 (No. 140 overall) Performance: Thompson-Robinson impressed once again after entering the game in the third quarter Friday. He completed 9 of 10 passes for 101 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to David Bell. Thompson-Robinson's accuracy and poise have made him a contender for Cleveland's No. 2 quarterback job. His game is translating, and seeing how he progresses from here will be interesting. Sean Clifford, Green Bay Packers Draft Round: 5 (No. 149 overall) Performance: Clifford lit up the stat sheet in his debut, going 20 of 26 for 208 yards. Despite two interceptions, the Packers scored 24 points in his nine possessions. Clifford's gunslinger mentality and experience at Penn State were evident, making him the clear frontrunner for the No. 2 quarterback job. Jaren Hall, Minnesota Vikings Draft Round: 5 (No. 164 overall) Performance: Hall struggled in his debut, going 6 of 14 for 37 yards and being pressured on seven of his 16 dropbacks. His performance was limited, with only one pass attempt over 10 yards downfield. Hall's development will be a project for the Vikings' coaching staff. Tanner McKee, Philadelphia Eagles Draft Round: 6 (No. 188 overall) Performance: McKee entered for the Eagles in the second quarter of Saturday's loss to the Ravens, going 10 of 20 for 148 yards. He's the clear frontrunner for Philadelphia's No. 3 quarterback job, showcasing crisp passes and confidence in the pocket. Max Duggan, Los Angeles Chargers Draft Round: 7 (No. 239 overall) Performance: Duggan completed 2 of 3 throws for 19 yards in his debut. Rookie QB Debut Quick Stats Roundup: Bryce Young: 4/6 (67%), 21 yards, 72.2 passer rating CJ Stroud: 2/4 (50%), 13 yards, 1 INT, 17.7 passer rating Anthony Richardson: 7/12 (58%), 67 yards, 1 INT, 39.2 passer rating Will Levis: 9/14 (64%), 85 yards, 1 INT, 51.2 passer rating Jake Haener: 10/17 (59%), 105 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 71.9 passer rating Stetson Bennett: 17/29 (59%), 191 yards, 1 TD, 89.9 passer rating Aidan O’Connell: 15/18 (83%), 141 yards, 1 TD, 117.8 passer rating Clayton Tune: 13/23 (57%), 135 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 70.0 passer rating Dorian Thompson-Robinson: 9/10 (90%), 102 yards, 1 TD, 142.5 passer rating Sean Clifford: 20/26 (77%), 208 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 80.3 passer rating Jaren Hall: 6/14 (43%), 37 yards, 50.3 passer rating Tanner McKee: 10/20 (50%), 148 yards, 74.6 passer rating Max Duggan: 2/3 (67%), 19 yards, 84.0 passer rating

How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round. Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value. High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value. Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value. Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents. Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations.

How Football Scout 365 Grades NFL Draft Prospects Elite (75+): A rare, high-impact prospect with elite physical tools, advanced football intelligence and the ability to make an immediate NFL impact. Elite prospects carry franchise-altering potential and typically project as top 5–10 selections in the first round. Near Elite (70–74): A high-caliber prospect with outstanding physical tools, strong football intelligence and only minor developmental limitations. Near Elite prospects project as significant early-career contributors with Pro Bowl upside and first-round draft value. High-End Starter Potential (65–69): A starting-caliber prospect with strong physical tools, quality technical skills and a defined NFL role. These players may require development before reaching their ceiling but generally carry second- or third-round draft value. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60–64): A solid prospect with NFL-level tools and a pathway to becoming a dependable starter if key limitations are addressed. These players generally carry third- to fifth-round draft value. Low-Level Starter Potential (55–59): A developmental prospect who could become a low-end starter, high-end backup or valuable specialist in the right role. These players generally carry fifth- to seventh-round draft value. Backup Level (50–54): A depth or rotational prospect with enough functional ability to compete for an NFL roster spot but limited long-term starting potential. These players generally project as late Day 3 selections or priority undrafted free agents. Not NFL Level (Below 50): A developmental or camp prospect who does not currently demonstrate enough consistency, technical refinement or functional NFL traits to project as a regular contributor. These players generally project as undrafted free agents, practice-squad candidates or camp invitations.

His ball skills, press ability, and tackling mentality make him a great fit for man-heavy or Cover 3 schemes that emphasize physicality at the line of scrimmage. His inconsistent ball production and deep speed concerns limit his ceiling, but his high floor as a disruptor at the catch point should make him a valuable addition to an NFL secondary.

Andrew Mukuba is projected as an early-to-mid first-round talent in the 2024 NFL Draft, standing out as a top safety prospect with a versatile skill set ideal for the modern NFL. His combination of speed, agility, and coverage ability make him a potentially dynamic hybrid defender and impactful starter at the NFL level. While he needs to improve in certain areas, particularly in tackling strength and route recognition, his fundamental attributes and football instincts are strong indicators of a successful NFL career. ← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Andrew Mukuba Texas HT: 6000 WT: 185 YR: SR POS: S OVR RK 80 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 5 KEY STRENGTHS Elite Range Athleticism Coverage Versatility KEY CONCERNS Lean Frame Physicality in the Box Tackling Technique PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Mukuba is an athletic and rangy free safety who thrives in zone-heavy schemes. His fluidity, ball skills, and football IQ make him an ideal deep safety in Cover-3 and Cover-1 schemes, where he can use his range and instincts to take away deep shots. He has positional flexibility to play nickel in sub-packages, but his lean frame limits his effectiveness in the box and against physical tight ends.

← Back to NFL Draft Big Board Jeremiah Smith Ohio State HT: 6030 WT: 223 YR: JR POS: WR OVR RK 1 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL WR1 Elite KEY STRENGTHS WR1 physical profile Elite ball tracking Three-level ability KEY CONCERNS Press-release detail Blocking effort Work on separation PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Jeremiah Smith is a top-of-board wide receiver prospect with the size, speed, and ball skills to become a true NFL WR1. He wins as a complete outside target who can stretch coverage vertically, finish through contact, and separate well enough underneath to avoid being only a contested-catch receiver. Ohio State can move him around the formation, but his cleanest NFL role is as a boundary X who forces safety help and creates matchup stress. The final checkpoint is detail more than talent: press-release consistency, blocking effort, and routine-play focus through a full WR1 workload. PLAYER COMPARISON: Julio Jones Smith has a Julio Jones-style profile because of the rare blend of size, vertical speed, body control, catch-point strength, and after-catch ability. Like Jones, he can win as a true outside receiver while forcing defenses to account for him with safety help. The comparison fits as a size-speed WR1 archetype, but Smith still has to confirm the same level of verified athletic profile, press dominance, and down-to-down physicality that made Jones one of the cleanest receiver prospects of the modern era. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS Elite (75+) A rare, high-impact prospect with the potential to be an instant NFL star. These players possess elite physical tools, high-level athleticism, and exceptional football intelligence. Their game is polished, showing minimal weaknesses, and they can dominate at their position from day one. They routinely accomplish what seems impossible and are viewed as franchise-altering talents.

He thrives in zone-based rushing schemes that allow him to press the line of scrimmage before making decisive cuts.
