We’re 100 days from the start of the NFL regular season and nearly 11 months from the next draft, but league scouts and personnel departments are already grinding on the 2023 draft.

This is a fact.

I know one NFL personnel man who started watching tape and setting up evaluations in advance of the 2023 draft a week after the 2022 draft concluded.

So it makes sense the most prominent media personnel guru is already on the case as well with his top 25 big board. Mel Kiper released his rankings of the top 25 prospects for the upcoming college season on Tuesday.

Kiper has three quarterbacks in the top 12:

Alabama’s Bryce Young.

Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.

Miami’s Tyler Van Dyke.

The top prospect on Kiper’s board is Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson, a great choice because he had 17.5 sacks last season and is one of those guys who never takes a play off, which is a lethal trait when the player is also supremely talented.
