It's been a long summer, but it's been great to see the previous draft class get acclimated to the NFL grind through training camp. Especially in Chicago, where rookies Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker may be immediately stepping into prominent roles with the Bears' defense. If Week 0 was any impression of what's to come, we are in store for an exciting college football season. As exciting as some of the games were, I'm equally excited to watch which prospects rise and fall during the upcoming 2023 NFL draft cycle. This year's cycle appears to have some depth in positions that were lacking last year: defensive line and quarterback are just a couple positions that teams could look at to find quality players early in the draft.
