Yay Area's 2023 Mock Draft V2

Less than a week out, here is my final mock.

99 - Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State - Good athlete and a willing blocker. If we can trade up for LaPorta, he is arguably the next best option.
101 - Zach Harrison, DE, Ohio State - Great measurables and tools but limited production. Lots of potential as a edge rusher in the type of penetration scheme we play. Perfect for Kocurek to mold.
102 - Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina - Taller corner that exploded at the combine. Tape shows a scheme diverse with great ball skills (he is a converted WR), but is still pretty raw
155 - Brandon Joseph, S, Notre Dame - Very productive as a deep safety at Northwestern. Not as effective or as productive after transferring to Notre Dame. The hope will be that he can regain both as he learns behind Gibson.
164 - Colby Wooden, DL, Auburn - Fits perfectly as a quick and powerful interior lineman. Plays with violent hands and his athleticism allows him to get great penetration as an interior pass rusher
173 - Nick Saldiveri, OT, Old Dominion - Experienced, scheme fitting offensive tackle
216 - Nick Hampton, DE/OLB, Appalachian State - Many teams see him as a LB, but with his strength, speed, and production as a stand up pass rusher, I believe he is best utilized a developmental, designated pass rusher
222 - Marte Mapu, LB, Sacramento State - Speedy linebacker with very good coverage skills. (Shout out to OTC; we seem to have similar thoughts on prospects)
247 - Rejzohn Wright, CB, Oregon State - Taller corner that is very experienced in man coverage, but is at his best playing off-man and zone coverage
253 - Hunter Luepke, FB/TE, South Dakota State - Great developmental TE/FB/H-Back, and potential heir apparent to Juice
255 - Mohamoud Diabate, LB, Utah - Late round, developmental LB. One of the fastest linebackers in the draft (Again shout out to OTC)

Love your draft. A grade my friend and you have a plethora of good players with needs being filled as well

Tucker Kraft South Dakota State. Fixed

Eight defensive, 3 offensive?

I don't see how Saldiveri makes it to 173 or Mapu to 222.

not a big fan of Rush.

overall if we came away with Saldiveri/mapu/Kraft I'd be happy…FWIW that's a lot of defensive players. Some of those dudes aren't making it on our roster.

I would love it but you have several guys going way lower than they're likely to go.

No way Kraft makes it to our pick.

@genus49, @NYniner85 - I used the consensus big board from the nflmockdraftdatabase website. I think it is a pretty good source. But you may be right in regards to where some of my projected picks may be drafted.

Tucker Kraft South Dakota State. Fixed

Good catch. Fixed.

@NYniner85, @Paul_Hofer, in regards to a majority of the draft picks being on the defensive side, it is my opinion that the defensive side of the ball has more roster needs than then offense. Overall, I agree with we are likely not to utilize all 11 picks. But for the sake of easiness, I elected not to mock any trades.

Mapu and Harrison both went in the 70s, 3rd round.
