Way too early NFL predictions for every team in 2023
By Randy Gurzi
Kansas City Chiefs: Bring in a running back in Round 1
The Kansas City Chiefs have a potent offense and they had 830 yards on the ground from Isiah Pacheco during the regular season. In the postseason, he continued to shine and had 197 yards and a touchdown in the postseason.
Even with his performance, the Chiefs use a Round 1 pick on a running back in this prediction. Pacheco is a capable player and could be a starter for the remainder of his career. However, someone such as Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs can be a difference-maker.
With Robinson surely gone before pick No. 31, the Chiefs are likely to add Gibbs who would be capable of putting the offense on his back. And the best part is, they still can use Pacheco who deserves a role going forward.
Los Angeles Chargers: Cut Keenan Allen, use Round 1 pick on WR
It’s been predicted that the Los Angeles Chargers are going to move on from wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end tight end Gerald Everett. Both moves would make sense considering the offense needs a makeover considering how often they stalled out. They also need some youth at wide receiver.
That’s why this prediction is that they not only go through with the move to release Allen but replace him with a wideout in Round 1. Sure, they have Mike Williams but he continues to battle durability concerns, so a healthier option is needed.
