We recently had @MockDraftGuyYT on College SportsCast for our 2nd edition mock draft of the April 27th NFL Draft. We included trades in this one and we had 2 teams moving up in our first round. With the Carolina Panthers already trading up with the Chicago Bears for the first pick of the draft, here is a look at our complete first round:

Nearly all of the hay is in the scouting barn, with the 2023 NFL Draft fast approaching. It's the perfect time for @Eric_Edholm to update his ranking of the top 100 prospects — and yes, there is SIGNIFICANT change throughout the pecking order.https://t.co/VJsB4SxwNS pic.twitter.com/KA4vun8mEj

29. New Orleans Saints – Calijah Kancey Pittsburgh DT
30. Philadelphia Eagles – Jahmyr Gibbs Alabama RB
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Anton Harrison Oklahoma OT
Upon further review the SEC has 7 of the first top 10 selections. Quarterbacks dominate the first 4 picks with CJ Stroud of Ohio State taking our first pick of the draft to the Carolina Panthers. QB’s Bryce Young, Will Levis and Anthony Richardson follow. Seattle takes the first defensive player in our mock draft by selecting Jalen Carter DT of Georgia with the 5th pick. Carter with his elite talent has some off the field baggage or he may go even higher.
