Mel Kiper mock draft 2023 Bryce Young lands with Texans in trade-heavy top 10

The master of mocks has also become a master of trades.A few years ago, someone let Mel Kiper know that he could project trades in his mock drafts, to add a little bit of fun and chaos to his formerly rigid order. Bradley McDougald Jersey With three quarterbacks or more potentially going in the top 10 maybe even the top five come April 28, Kiper has some bold predictions in his latest mock draft to prod your mock draft imagination, including four quarterbacks selected, most of which coming by way of trade.MORE: Kiper projects multiple trades that shakes up the top 10 in a big way: TheTexanstrade up one spot to No. 1 overall to select Bryce Young. TheBearstrade down to No. 2 overall, then Jayon Brown Jersey trade down again with the Colts. At No. 2 overall, theColtsselect Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud. ThePanthersandBroncosstrike a trade, with Carolina moving up to No. 5 overall to Steve McNair Jersey takeKentucky's Will Levis. When the dust settles, Chicago ultimately selects Georgia's Jalen Carter with the No. 4 overall pick, and the Seahawks take Anthony Richardson with the No. 9 selection.So, if you're not keeping score at home, this is how Kiper projects the top 10 to play out:PickTeamPlayerPositionSchool1Houston Texans (fromCHI)Bryce YoungQBAlabama2Indianapolis Colts (from HOU via CHI)C.J.

That is, if they ultimately decide to stick with Justin Fields over one of the available QBs at No. 1 overall.The Seahawks also end up with a quarterback in waiting, selecting pa Josh Reynolds Jersey ser Anthony Richardson after trading with the Panthers. Seattle currently has an unsettled quarterback situation, with Geno Smith a free agent. Richardson would likely need a year on an NFL bench before taking the reins, which could make for a smart move for Seattle.Still, four quarterbacks in the top 10? Mel Kiper is just getting warmed up, baby.
