Reading Time: 3 minutes

Last night, 31 NFL prospects heard their names called in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

I put first-round pre-draft grades on 19 (61%) of those who heard their names called and I had second-round grades on 7 more whom were selected, which brings my overall score up to 84% (26/31) in line with actual league grading (see value board below).

Now it’s time for Day 2 of the NFL Draft, which starts at 7 p.m. EST. This will take us through the second and third rounds.

13 gems remain for the taking.

These are 13 prospects I gave pre-draft first-round grades to are still on the board (ranked in this order on First Round Mock’s First Round Value Board).

All 13 of these players consistently showed dominant, elite, difference-making traits on game film.
