2023 First Round Mock 1.0

Great work on this.

Question:

If the Chiefs extend Brown, do you move off tackle in the 1st?

And if so, who would you pick at 31? I can't help but notice Andre Carter is on the board.

I wouldn't be mocking Wright if they weren't retaining Brown. I don't see Wright as a LT prospect at all. There's some nice RT prospects in that round 2/3 range so it's not a "must get" at that spot. That said, I'd prefer a guy that was pretty much plug-and-play.

I like Andre Carter but I'm not on him as a 1st rounder. If he's there in 2 I'd do it. He's got some work to do in several facets in my opinion.

If I wasn't looking for a tackle in 1, I'm strongly on board for a DE. I don't know if I'd go for a WR unless a guy like Hyatt fell.

The WR aspect brings me to a "quiet conundrum" I"m having in my head regarding Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs, on tape, is a phenomenal receiving back. My question on him is how fast is he, really? He looks faster than the 4.46 I've seen in a quick search. I saw another number of 4.32 that is reportedly a "most recent" time and I think it's very possible he is that fast. He absolutely plays fast. At 5'11" and 200 pounds, the thought on taking him isn't to play RB but it's to play WR. If he's there at 31, where the Chiefs will absolutely be picking because **** Philly, then he presents a major "what if" scenario for me.

I have similar thoughts regarding Devon Achane if he's around at the bottom of 2. The question on Achane is how tall is he, really? He's listed at 5'9" and you have to wonder if he's that, or if he's 5'8" or 5'7." Much like Gibbs, I wonder if he could be a WR. Achane, now he's listed as a guy that could run in the 4.2s. I don't think he's a 4.2 guy but he just might be a 4.35 guy. Not as much tape on Achane as a receiving option. If he's 5'9" and he runs at least a 4.35, is he an option at WR? Maybe for me but it really depends on who else is sitting there at that point.
