On Day One of the 2023 NFL draft, we learned that the players viewed by fans, bettors and the media as the best prospects aren’t always the players viewed that way by NFL teams. Most notably, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis, who generated some talk as a potential No. 1 overall draft, wasn’t drafted in the first round at all.
So on Day Two of the 2023 NFL draft, we have to acknowledge that there’s a whole lot we don’t know about where the top prospects are heading. Still, we have some opinions on the best players available, and our list of the Top 20 players remaining on the board is below:
