2023 NFL Mock Draft: Cowboys stock up offense, Panthers reach at QB
By Randy Gurzi
Kelee Ringo. 7. 28. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB. Georgia
7. Las Vegas Raiders: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
The season ended in a terrible way for the Las Vegas Raiders as they were without Derek Carr down the stretch. One of the best quarterbacks they’ve had in recent memory, Carr has often been the scapegoat for many of their deficiencies. Sometimes, the criticism is fair and there are times it’s not.
Either way, he’s on the way out and they’re going to let Josh McDaniels go get his guy. That’s probably a terrible idea considering he was the one who drafted Tim Tebow in the first round, but that’s where they are.
It won’t be easy for them to get one of the top rookies without making a trade but there could be a few veterans out there to sign. They’ll likely take this route and go with a bridge starter. Doing so means they can go after whoever is No. 1 on their board and here, that could be Kelee Ringo from Georgia.
Ringo plays for the reigning NCAA Champs and is trying to help them make it two in a row. He’s gone up against the best of the best in the SEC and also holds his own in the playoffs when he takes on other top programs. Las Vegas plays some of the top aerial attacks in the NFL in the AFC West, so adding Ringo will be a huge benefit for them.
