Prisco’s final 2023 NFL Mock Draft: Will Levis lands in Houston at No. 2 as five QBs go in Round 1

This is my final mock draft, which means good news and bad news.

The bad news first: It’s as tough a year to place guys into spots as any year in my over three decades of covering the league. 

The good news: This mock is done.

In the old days, I used to agonize about my final mock, hoping I could get as many right as possible. But now in my older years, I’ve come to realize how many people lie at this time of the year — even guys I trust. Some of the guys I’ve known best over the years have even given me blatantly bad information, which I went with and, of course, ended up being wrong. They heard about it. 

So I trust very few.

That’s why I only lean on a few people in this league for information — and then just try and figure out the rest. If I get them right, I get them right. If I don’t, I don’t.

I like doing my who-they-should mock draft much more because I can play general manager — and I think I have an edge on the league anyway. Kidding. 

In this mock, it’s basically a guessing game.

With that, here’s my final mock. Eat it alive.

I know you will.

At least it’s done.
