2023 NFL Mock Draft: Aaron Rodgers part of blockbuster trade in Round 1

Florida. O'Cyrus Torrence. 22. 26. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OG. player
22. Baltimore Ravens: O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
Somehow, the Baltimore Ravens saw Tyler Huntley make it to the Pro Bowl as he replaced Lamar Jackson down the stretch, and in their lone playoff game. It’s true that he’s a pretty solid No. 2 but the All-Star nod felt like a stretch. Hopefully, the Ravens don’t think this means they can take a hard-line approach with Lamar Jackson as his contract is about to expire.
While they’re trying to figure things out with the former MVP, we look ahead to the draft and add O’Cyrus Torrence from Florida. He would replace Ben Powers at left guard as they wind up with a scary interior with Tyler Linderbaum at center and Kevin Zeitler at right guard.

23. Minnesota Vikings: Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame
There were two players on the Minnesota Vikings roster that recorded at least 10 sacks in 2022. However, Danielle Hunter is a free agent following the 2023 season and Za’Darius Smith has one year after that.
Hunter also missed 10 games in 2021 and all of 2020, so injuries could still be a concern. Smith will likely play out his entire deal but likely won’t get another as he’s already 30. That’s why it makes sense to bring in Isaiah Foskey from Notre Dame.
The all-time sack leader in Fighting Irish history, Foskey can play either with his hand in the dirt or in the stand-up role, which is what he would be asked to do with the Vikings.
