Couch-Potato's Post-Playoffs 2023 Mock Draft

[Couch-Potato]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! ...Mock draft season is my favorite time of year.

I agree that Breese would likely require a trade up in the first, originally I had us giving up a pick to get him but recent pro mocks had me feeling like we might have a chance at 32. Karlaftis fell to us.

Harrison I could see not working out, kind of a Kaindoh pick, phycially gifted but just not a productive DE, but the rest of that line's talent would hopefully dampen any major deficiencies and we could rotate in Danna, Incoom, and Diaby as well. He only needs to reproduce Clark's regular season production, at like $20m less, to be effective. If he's not the guy, we take another swing next year.

Zion played some RT this last season, apparently, but I have no clue how he will translate there just that his profile sounds like the kind of OL Andy really loves.

At WR I think Hopkins gives you everything that MVS and Hardman did, accept Hardman's jet sweeps which we'd happily give to Toney. If Iosovos can find a way to contribute in a similar fashion to Hardman or MVS, hopefully behind an emerging Sky Moore & Justyn Ross, that'd be about all we'd really need. Maybe he can handle return duties for us to keep Toney healthy as our dynamic #3 in his rookie year and grow into one of those roles in the future.

Hard for me to choose where Diaby and Incoom would go, could easily swap them here. Along with Harrison, I'm hoping these two could be coached up into a nice DL rotation.

Bobo could make for an interesting red zone target, like you said he's sort of a TE/WR tweaner which brings something different to our WR room.

I love Hunter Luepke's tape! Andy would find a bunch of fun ways to get this guy the rock in the redzone!

To me Hopkins would be more of a JuJu type to placement. I would keep MVS and let JuJu walk if we traded for Hopkins

I'd prefer Hopkins over JuJu as well, especially in a vacuum scenario where he doesn't cost you a draft pick(s). I see him as a significant talent upgrade over our current WRs, but man they'd be great together IMO! My ONLY concern with Hopkins is that I saw him jawing with Kyler Murray on the sideline, does he want to win? or does he want to be the man? If he can comfortably accept fitting into a prominent, yet lesser role than he's used to in order to win than I'd invite him with open arms.

Kelce - Goat TE
Hopkins - Star Deep Threat
JuJu - Big Stalwart Slot
Toney - X-Factor Gadget
+
Moore - Expected to grow into a reliable slot
Ross - Has the talent to be a star outside
Iosivas - All-around WR talent with deep threat potential
Bobo - Tall red-zone target
+
Mix in a couple more rookies to compete over the next couple years.
