2023 RCF NFL Mock Draft Sign-up Thread

[Hurl Bruce]

As the NFL off-season is starting to get rolling and the combine is over, let's get the 2023 RCF NFL Mock Draft in motion.

Please respond in this thread if you want to represent a franchise. We'll do a first-come-first-served order to select teams. If you've had a franchise the past few years, then we'll see if someone will switch for you. Otherwise, look for a change of scenery and captain another ship this year.

Trades are fully acceptable and should be done between team owners via PM, but terms must be released in a post from one of the teams involved. Please be reasonable with the trades, that's all we ask.

Disclaimer: Don't sign-up if you can't keep a beat on the thread. The goal is to have a bunch of folks involved, not have mods churning out pick after pick.

Once someone signs up, I'll update this post. After every team is claimed, I'll create a new "On The Clock" thread that will serve as the official start & I'll let the Texans know they're up. This won't start until a little closer to Draft Day. We just wanted to get ahead of things.

Pretty much my thoughts as acting Bears GM as well.

Pretty much my thoughts as acting Bears GM as well.

I think the Bears just need a large influx of talent.

Whether it's Fields or Young at the helm probably doesn't matter that much. Either one is available, and they should trade whoever gives them the largest return.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

In the 2023 RCF Mock Draft, Houston has just made it public that Laremy Tunsil is available for a first round pick.

Feel free to inquire about anyone else on the roster, including Brandin Cooks.

The #12 pick might also be available if someone later in the first wants to move up.

When asked why he's shopping veteran talent, the GM laughed and said "Have you seen our roster? We're still trying to recover from the disaster that we inherited from Bill O'Brien."
