2023 NFL Mock Draft: Bears land a haul in trade-filled first-round mock

OG. 22. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Florida. O'Cyrus Torrence. 48
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via New York Giants): O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
With Tom Brady apparently ready to move on, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be making some moves this offseason. Perhaps they believe in Kyle Trask as their starter but he didn’t get a chance to show much in his lone appearance in Week 18.
Whatever they decide with him, they’re too far back to make a move for one of the top signal-callers in this class so instead, they look to make life easier on whoever is under center. Tampa Bay adds O’Cyrus Torrence from Florida at No. 22 overall.
They dropped down in the earlier trade with the Giants and still filled a need. That’s not a bad day’s work.
EDGE. Notre Dame. 23. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Isaiah Foskey. player. 26
23. Baltimore Ravens: Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame
Justin Houston led the Baltimore Ravens in sacks this season with 9.5 but at 33 years of age, it’s not as if they can count on him forever. They also haven’t seen Odafe Oweh become the force off the edge they hoped for as he had just three sacks this year and eight in his first two.
With that being the case, they add Isaiah Foskey from Notre Dame at No. 23. Foskey looks the part of an NFL pass rusher at 6-foot-4 and roughly 260-pounds. He also had a ton of success with 25 sacks, breaking Justin Tuck’s record for the most ever in Notre Dame history.
Baltimore has to figure things out with Lamar Jackson but they do at least improve their defense with this move.
