Cole’s Corner: 2023 Five Round NFL Mock Draft 2.0

Round 3

  1. Chicago Bears – Adetomiwa Adebawore, Edge, Northwestern
  2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (mock trade with the Houston Texans) – Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss
  3. Arizona Cardinals – Kyu Blu Kelly, CB, Stanford
  4. Denver Broncos – Joe Tippman, C, Wisconsin
  5. Denver Broncos – Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah
  6. Los Angeles Rams – Isaiah Foskey, Edge, Notre Dame
  7. Seattle Seahawks (mock trade with the Las Vegas Raiders) – Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M
  8. New Orleans Saints – Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
  9. Tennessee Titans – Tuli Tuipulotu, Edge, USC
  10. Houston Texans – Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU
  11. Cleveland Browns – Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin                                                                                                   

After the first round, the defensive tackles have been slow to come off the board. This works in the favor of the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland needs to stop the run and Benton is nearly a perfect fit. He is a very strong interior defensive lineman with more athleticism than most. He will greatly improve the run defense and also keep Cleveland’s linebackers clean on blitzes. Benton and Tomlinson will pair quite well together.

75. Atlanta Falcons – Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU

76. New England Patriots – Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

  1. Los Angeles Rams – Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh
  2. Green Bay Packers – Brandon Joseph, SAF, Notre Dame
  3. Indianapolis Colts – Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati
  4. Pittsburgh Steelers – Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh
  5. Detroit Lions – Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
  6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Iowa State
  7. Seattle Seahawks – Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State
  8. Miami Dolphins – Gervon Dexter Sr., DT, Florida
  9. Los Angeles Chargers – Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane
  10. Baltimore Ravens – Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pittsburgh
  11. Minnesota Vikings – Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan
  12. Jacksonville Jaguars – Derick Hall, Edge, Auburn
  13. New York Giants – Ivan Pace Jr., LB, Cincinnati
  14. Dallas Cowboys – Kendre Miller, RB, TCU
  15. Buffalo Bills – Roschon Johnson, RB, Texas
  16. Cincinnati Bengals – Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland
  17. Carolina Panthers – Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami FL
  18. Philadelphia Eagles – Chase Brown, RB, Illinois
  19. Kansas City Chiefs – Marvin Mims Jr., WR, Oklahoma
  20. Arizona Cardinals – Emil Ekiyor Jr., OG, Alabama
  21. Washington Commanders – Steve Avila, OG/C, TCU
  22. Cleveland Browns – Zach Harrison, Edge, Ohio State                                                                                                 

The Browns keep the Ohio native in the state and add him to their defensive line rotation. Harrison is a freak athlete but needs to find some consistency in order to make a big impact in the NFL. If he does, he could be the next great pass rusher for Cleveland.

 

  1. San Francisco 49ers – JL Skinner, SAF, Boise State
  2. Las Vegas Raiders – Jordan Battle, SAF, Alabama
  3. San Francisco 49ers – Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State
  4. San Francisco 49ers – Blake Freeland, OT, BYU
