2023 NFL Mock Draft: Aaron Rodgers part of blockbuster trade in Round 1
By Randy Gurzi
4. Chicago Bears (via Indianapolis Colts): Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia
After dropping down twice, the Chicago Bears are finally on the clock at No. 4, and as fate would have it, they land Jalen Carter who some believe is the No. 1 overall prospect in this class. Chicago fans would be thrilled to see them land a defensive playmaker while also loading up on early day two picks next season as well.
As for Carter, he’s still an ascending player who really didn’t get much of the spotlight until this season — which happens when you’re on the same roster as five first-round draft picks. The fact that he can already disrupt a game the way he does while still being so raw is exciting and Matt Eberflus could be the right coach to turn him into a star.
5. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos): Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
Another player that seems to be only scratching the surface of his talent is Bryan Bresee from Clemson. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, he’s shown off his athleticism and power but hasn’t really blown up just yet.
Even so, his upside is so impressive that he lands with the Seattle Seahawks in the top five. Pete Carroll loves versatile defensive linemen and will be able to move Bresee around, causing issues for the opposing offensive linemen.
