Which teams could make a bold pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft? Could some potential first or second-round picks drop to the fourth round? Mitch gives some bold predictions.
Are you excited that the NFL Draft is only one month away?
There have been countless first-round mock drafts published across the football universe. The same debates about Bryce Young's height, Ohio State's lack of QB success, and Anthony Richardson's lack of accuracy have been repeated ad nauseam. But the middle rounds of the draft have gone ignored.
So let's set the scene. The sun rises on Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, a romanesque limestone monument with six tall columns on either side of three archways leading inside. Team officials are already tired from two days on the clock. Disappointed young men who had high hopes to hear their name called wake up with renewed optimism. The third and final day of the 2023 NFL Draft begins with the fourth round.

Fourth-Round Draft Order
By the time the fourth round rolls around, every team will have picked. The Patriots acquired the No. 107 pick from the Rams as part of the Sony Michel trade, one of the many trades that helped the Rams acquire the 2021 Lombardi Trophy. The Titans gave up their No. 110 pick to the Falcons when they acquired Julio Jones.
Other traded picks include No. 119 going from Detroit to Minnesota (T.J. Hockenson), No. 121 going from Tampa Bay to Jacksonville (as part of an exchange of draft picks), No. 122 going from Miami to Kansas City (Tyreek Hill), No. 126 going from Minnesota to Cleveland (draft picks), No. 132 going from San Francisco to Carolina (Christian McCaffrey), and No. 133 going from Philadelphia to Chicago (Robert Quinn).
Bold Fourth-Round Predictions For The 2023 NFL Draft
- S Ji'Ayir Brown could be this year's Talanoa Hufanga. Hufanga is a big play safety who made four picks his senior year at USC and was drafted in the fifth round. Brown made four picks in his final year at Penn State and is projected to be drafted on Day 3. He also had six picks the year before (also a senior year; he transferred from JuCo). In addition, Brown forced three fumbles, recovered three fumbles, and averaged 22.6 yards per interception return in his NCAA career. Take note, IDP managers.
- RB KenDre Miller will play on the biggest stage for his hometown fans...
- WR Parker Washington is a value in the fourth round...
- G Andrew Vorhees solidifies the Jags' offensive line...
- Bijan Robinson isn't only Texas running back to pay attention to.
