Welcome one and all to the first officially official draft "expert" prospect rankings blog post! It's been a while since we've posted some prospect rankings, the last time coming on July 22 of last year, so I'm hoping these rankings meet up to all your expectations.
Now, though I'd love for that to be the case, obviously this post isn't going to please everybody, but a lot of time and effort went into deciding these, so I'm more just hoping y'all don't hate on it too much.
As far as the rankings go, there are 15 prospects per position group, with some groups being a little more cut and dry than others. If you read our weekly quarterback prospect rankings throughout this past season, you may be familiar with our quarterback rankings on this post, but every other position group is fairly new, which makes this exciting, at least for me.
So, without any further delay, I, Logan Blackman, host of the Logan Blackman Show, self proclaimed Draft "Expert," am proud to present to you our first officially official prospect rankings for the 2023 NFL Draft! Enjoy!
