Projecting the first round of the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft
The days are flying by and before any of us know it draft week will be upon us. It is one of the most exciting times for any NFL fan as it brings so much drama to the TV screen.
Obviously, this is an Atlanta Falcons website but sometimes you need to see how the draft plays out to get a full picture of why the team makes a certain decision.

It would be a perfect situation, but let's get right to it, starting with the first-overall pick that now belongs to the NFC South rival, Carolina Panthers.
. QB. C.J. Stroud. 1. player. 87. . Ohio State
