2023 NFL Draft: Fourth-round mock shows great level of talent for the third day
Things tens to change for NFL teams when the third day of the draft gets underway. Now, it’s generally less about filling the positions of need with impact players, and more about a round-robin of talent, where you’re trying to get the best players available, and you can deal with the fit after the fact. That’s not to say that fit isn’t a factor, but now, it’s about who can do what in general from an athletic and football standpoint.
The third day of the draft starts with the fourth round, of course, and in the fourth rounds of recent drafts, teams have come away with more than enough estimable talent for teams to know that it’s best to keep one’s eye on the ball.
Kirk Cousins, Geno Atkins, David Bakhtiari, Dak Prescott, K.J. Wright, De’Vondre Campbell, and Za’Darius Smith are among those players who could attest to that.
The 2023 draft in particular presents a group of third-day talent with second- and third-round grades, which makes it quite exciting. In this fourth-round mock draft, you will find players much better than that fixed designation — it’s just where they happened to fall in their draft class.
