201-450 mock - LPIC-2 test 201, Part 1 of 2, version 4.5

We’re two months out from the 2023 draft so it’s time for our second iteration of the 2023 mock draft.

At this stage in the calendar, there seems to be a consensus group of five players leading the 2023 class, and a huge mess of split-camp and polarizing players that could fall into many different landing spots depending on late-season performance and organizational philosophy.

If you don’t have access to Dylan Crews, Paul Skenes, Walker Jenkins, Wyatt Langford, or Max Clark—good luck!

With the college regular season winding down, how players finish the season and perform in the postseason will be critical to their draft stock.

Throughout this mock you’ll see a number of players who have a wide range of potential outcomes. I’ve flagged the most prominent of those players in the write ups, but it’s probably worth emphasizing that outside of the first handful of players, everyone’s range of outcomes is always a bit wider than what we actually think it is.

That’s a long way of saying no one expected Kumar Rocker to be the No. 3 overall pick in 2022 even on draft day. So take that and compound it with the fact that we still have plenty of time for things to change and coalesce—if they ever do.

As one high-ranking scout said recently:

“We like that top five. It starts getting a little hairy in the 6-12 range. We are looking for some guys to jump up there and grab the reins. I would say the teams picking 6-29 are all kind of trying to figure out what’s going on and who to go back and see.

“One team’s flavor could be very different from another … There are a lot of split camps and org philosophies. You have a bit of everything. Don’t be surprised to see this mock draft look like total shambles.”

The emphasis is mine. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Let’s dive in:

Related:

1. Pirates — Dylan Crews, OF, Louisiana State

The 2023 draft is feeling like one where the top four or five teams shouldn’t mess around too much and simply take one of the elite talents they have available. Crews has done everything expected of him throughout his LSU career and then some, and while he’s no longer flirting with a .500 season, he has either gotten a hit or a walk in all 48 games this season. He’s hitting .457/.607/.790 with 13 home runs, 13 doubles and has a career-low 11.2% strikeout rate and career-high 22.8% walk rate. Crews offers both safety and all-star upside. That’s what you want in a No. 1 overall pick.

2. Nationals — Paul Skenes, RHP, Louisiana State

Let’s make draft history with a 1-2 LSU punch to get things started. Given the offensive environment in college baseball there’s a fairly easy case to be made that the separation from Skenes and the next best pitcher is more significant than the separation from Crews and whoever you think is the next best hitter. The only thing that’s prevented Skenes from throwing six-plus innings this season is the weather, and even in a shortened three-inning game against South Carolina in early April he still managed eight strikeouts. Outside of that game, Skenes is averaging 6.1 innings with 12 strikeouts per game. He’s thrown 72.2 innings and still somehow has a strikeout rate over 50%, and the gap between him and the No. 2 pitcher in the country in strikeouts is 32.

3. Tigers — Walker Jenkins, OF, South Brunswick HS, Southport, N.C.

Jenkins has wowed scouts all spring and put himself in a position to be the first high school player selected. He’s been hitting for average and power, he has shown better run times and he is also showing that the center field defense is a real possibility. It’s a stellar tool set across the board with one of the prettiest swings in the class and he’s gotten significant heat among all the top teams in the draft. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him go higher than No. 3.

4. Rangers — Wyatt Langford, OF, Florida

In a universe where Crews was drafted out of high school, Langford would be a fairly compelling 1-1 candidate. Despite how impressive Crews has been this spring I think it’s worth reiterating that Langford is fairly similar in terms of tool set, athleticism and production. Langford is hitting .399/.538/.784 with 12 home runs and 15 doubles and even his 21.1% walk rate and 13.1% strikeout rate is similar to what Crews has done—in the same conference. The drop off in perceived talent at this spot is slim to nonexistent compared to the first three picks so it seems like a solid year to be picking No. 4. And perhaps a college timeline would be better for the Rangers in this spot as well.

5. Twins — Max Clark, OF, Franklin (Ind.) Community HS

Clark continues to be solidly mixed into the top tier of players in the 2023 class, though his name does seem to be more toward the back of this group than the front of it. It’s easier to be critical of Clark’s lack of impact than all four of the players off the board in front of him, but he has a well-rounded tool set and is also the easiest center field projection of the top-tier outfielders.

6. A's — Jacob Wilson, SS, Grand Canyon

In some ways Wilson has a similar profile to Clark, but out of the college demographic. There are some questions about overall impact and upside, but there’s also a feeling of safety here thanks to his sure-handed defensive ability at shortstop and pure bat-to-ball skills that are hard to top in this draft class. Sure, he’s only hit five home runs, but he’s slashing .427/.475/.682 with 17 doubles and his usual microscopic 2.8% strikeout rate. That’s just five strikeouts in 179 plate appearances. His overall miss rate is just 7% and his in-zone miss rate is even more remarkable at only 2%—or four in-zone whiffs the entire season.

7. Reds — Chase Dollander, RHP, Tennessee

There’s no doubt Dollander has slipped this spring. He simply hasn’t been the same pitcher in 2023 that he was in 2022. The stuff isn’t as crisp. The command isn’t as precise. His walk rate has doubled from 4.2% to 8.5%. The slider isn’t getting as many whiffs and the fastball shape looks a bit worse than a year ago. Whether Dollander is able to finish strong and cement himself among the top tier of players in the next few weeks is one of the bigger question marks in the draft class. Scouting departments will be poring over all of Dollander’s film and data in the next few months to see if his performance is something that will just be a quick and minor fix in pro ball to get him back on track or something more concerning—I’m betting on the former, which makes the Reds the beneficiary here with the seventh overall pick.

8. Royals — Rhett Lowder, RHP, Wake Forest

Lowder has trended in the opposite direction of Dollander this spring by simply going out and posting each week. In the non-Skenes human universe of pitchers he’s been as consistent as you can get. He’s thrown at least five innings in 11 of his 12 starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his 12 starts—with four runs allowed against Duke and three runs allowed against North Carolina State. He’s out-performed his peripherals at a homer-friendly home park—perhaps thanks to a 55% groundball rate—and the always strong strike thrower is looking at a career-low walk rate of 5.4% to go with a career-best 30.3% strikeout rate. There’s not a lot of projection you have to do on Lowder to see him as a solid big league starter.

9. Rockies — Jacob Gonzalez, SS, Mississippi

Gonzalez is consistently lumped with Jacob Wilson as one of the first prospects who comes up once you get out of the top tier of five (or six, if you want to include Dollander) players. Gonzalez has been a tremendously consistent offensive player his entire career, and his 2023 season is looking more like his breakout freshman season than his 2022 season where he got off to a bit of a slow start. He’s hitting .330/.447/.581 with nine home runs and 18 doubles and he has a chance to finish his career with more walks than strikeouts in each season. It’s a lefthanded-hitting shortstop profile with zone control, on-base skills and raw power—though the swing is admittedly funky and there’s a chance he moves off shortstop in pro ball.

10. Marlins — Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit HS, Portland, Ore.

Mick Abel pure stuff with Andrew Painter touch and feel? That’s the dream outcome for Meyer, who has established himself as the top righthanded pitching prospect in the high school class and consistently looked like a top-10 talent this spring. Whether or not he goes among the top 10 picks is still a question, as the industry typically fades this demographic as we get close to the draft, but he has better feel to land his stuff than Abel at the same time, and while Painter developed a dastardly slider in pro ball, Meyer’s wipeout slider now is better than Painter’s at the same time. This pairing of elite arm talent with an organization that has done a great job developing arms is exciting.

11. Angels — Enrique Bradfield, OF, Vanderbilt

We get to one of the first of many polarizing profiles in the middle of the first round in Bradfield. Two years ago Bradfield’s skill set might have been viewed more critically, but the game has changed thanks to some progressive rules changes and Bradfield has the 80-grade speed to absolutely abuse them. He’s a true burner who has swiped 124 bags at a 92% success rate. It’s easy to forgive his shortcomings in the raw power department when his singles will become doubles in short order after he gets on base—as well as the fact that he’s a locked and loaded plus-plus center fielder who will earn 80 grades for his work with the glove.

12. D-backs — Hurston Waldrep, RHP, Florida

Why would a guy with a 5.07 ERA be selected with the 12th overall pick you ask? Well, because he has filthy stuff, that’s why. Sure, Waldrep has continued to miss the zone with his entire arsenal at a concerning rate (he currently has a career-high 13.7% walk rate) but the dude misses bats. He’s third in the country with 102 strikeouts and he’s eighth with a 35.1% strikeout rate. You could deliver him four plus pitches while being conservative, while also noting his lightning-quick arm speed. Shane McClanahan also didn’t throw strikes in college … until he did in pro ball. Now he’s one of the best pitchers in the big leagues. Arizona doesn’t have the same track record of fixing control that Tampa Bay does, but the upside here is exciting.

13. Cubs — Kyle Teel, C, Virginia

The clear-cut best college catcher in the class has been on a rampage all season. He’s hitting .423/.482/.665 with nine home runs and 20 doubles and he has lowered his strikeout rate to 9.2%—though he was never a huge strikeout guy in the first place. It’s an excellent foundation of athleticism with plus arm strength who should benefit from professional catching development. The swing won’t be for everyone, as it’s full of violence and effort, and his approach might need to be toned down in pro ball, but Teel should be the beneficiary of a down catching class and he’s played his way into the middle of the first round.

14. Red Sox — Thomas White, LHP, Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.

How about a hometown selection here for the Red Sox instead of another trip out West for a prep shortstop? White has garnered a lot of attention in exact weeks as high-level scouts have run through the Northeast to check in on a number of talented arms, and White is getting real attention among the top 10 as well. He has more control questions than Meyer, but he also has the benefit of throwing a mid-90s fastball from the left side, with a real changeup and a breaking ball that is making progress this spring.

15. White Sox — Yohandy Morales, 3B, Miami

Morales is one of the most polarizing players in the class. Some teams love his athleticism and raw power and will point to the fact that he’s performed each year with Miami. So far this spring he’s hitting .390/.460/.651 with 11 home runs and 12 doubles. Teams more pessimistic are likely lower on his defensive play at third base and also wonder about both his swing decisions and how the length of his levers will impact his bat-to-ball skills in pro ball—his easy power does come with some swing and miss. Perhaps the White Sox are a team that can tolerate that risk for the potential upside it comes with. At the moment this feels like the higher end of outcomes for Morales.

16. Giants — Tommy Troy, 2B, Stanford

Troy is the polar opposite of Morales in some ways. He doesn’t have insane raw power or physicality that jumps out immediately, but he’s a solid player who does everything well and might get to an above-average hit tool. He runs well, plays solid defense at a few positions and is proving his hitting chops this spring. He’s slashing .377/.464/.665 with a career-low 13.4% strikeout rate.

17. Orioles — Arjun Nimmala, SS, Strawberry Crest HS, Dover, Fla.

The polarizing profiles aren’t limited to the college demographic. Nimmala gets reviews anywhere from the top half of the first round to the early second. Risk tolerance and how much a team values his extreme youth will play decisive roles in his landing spot in July. Baltimore has done an excellent job with hitting development, and could be a nice pairing with Nimmala—who has lightning hands and a quick turn from the right side, but still has some refinements that might need to be made.

18. Brewers — Matt Shaw, SS, Maryland

Shaw started the season slow but has been on a rampage in exact weeks. In Big Ten play, he is hitting .438/.543/.904 with 10 home runs, 14 walks and 12 strikeouts. His overall season line is also the best of his career, with a .363/.480/.755 line that features 20 home runs and 18 doubles. He’s most likely not a shortstop in pro ball, but if he’s playing second base and hitting for this sort of power no one is going to care too much. He’s got speed as well and has gone 15-for-16 in stolen base attempts this spring. This feels like one of the lowest potential outcomes for Shaw at this point—he could easily be off the board much closer to the No. 10 overall pick.

19. Rays — Blake Mitchell, C, Sinton (Texas) HS

It sounds like scouts have been encouraged with Mitchell each time they’ve gone into Texas to see him. He has a lot of power from the left side, has a cannon arm and is sounding like a player who goes off the board among the top 20 picks. This is as much an attempt to get him off the board in that range than any specific tie to the Rays.

20. Blue Jays — Kevin McGonigle, SS, Monsignor Bonner HS, Drexel Hill, Pa.

McGonigle could make a lot of sense for Toronto and he especially fits in this spot after seeing Cole Young go to the Mariners with the 21st overall pick a year ago. The two share a lot in common and while McGonigle might have to move off shortstop and might not have massive power, he’s one of the best pure hitters in the class.

21. Cardinals — Colin Houck, SS, Parkview HS, Lilburn, Ga.

Houck has an excellent combination of tools, athleticism, physicality and hitting ability. He is bigger and stronger than McGonigle, if not the same sort of pure hitter, and he might be a better pure hitter than Nimmala without the same raw bat speed. He’s another player with a wide range of potential outcomes at this point, with some buzz in the early teens and other teams who might pass on him in the 20s.

22. Mariners — Brock Wilken, 3B, Wake Forest

Add Wilken to the list of confounding players in the 2023 class. In terms of performance, he’s done everything you want. He’s among the nation’s leaders in home runs with 21 and should surpass his previous season high of 23 in short order. He has lowered his strikeout rate a bit, while nearly doubling his walk rate, from 11.6% in 2022 to 21.2% in 2023 and he’s also hitting well over .300—which was previously his biggest criticism. Wilken is hitting .339/.500/.786 through 47 games, but some scouts wonder how his swing will play at the next level and think he’ll need to move to first base. Like Morales, he has a split camp of backers and critics throughout the industry.

23. Guardians — Nolan Schanuel, 1B, Florida Atlantic

This pick would be reminiscent of the Chase DeLauter selection a year ago, as Schanuel is a small school hitter with an exceptional track record of performance, bat-to-ball skills and raw power. He’s not the same athlete as DeLauter was, and his tools aren’t quite as loud, but he’s also leading the country with a 1.512 OPS with terrific plate discipline numbers. He has a 22.4% walk rate and 6% strikeout rate. Model-heavy teams should be all over this one.

24. Braves — Charlee Soto, RHP, Reborn Christian Academy HS, Kissimmee, Fla.

Soto is getting a lot of buzz in the second half of the first round. It’s tempting to move a high school righthander of his talent into the supplemental round, where a lot of players like this will fall for overslot deals, but it feels like some teams like Soto enough that he might not make it there. He’s a great athlete, he’s young for the class and will be 17 on draft day, he has a chance for plus stuff across the board and he has a two-way background. Atlanta’s player development group has excelled with this player profile. The Braves were also as prep pitching heavy as any club in the 2022 draft.

25. Padres — George Lombard Jr., SS, Gulliver Prep HS, Miami

Another up-arrow prospect who’s been getting a ton of buzz in the back of the first round is Lombard Jr., who has been hitting well in South Florida. He’s got good size and physicality at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he is an above-average runner with a strong arm and he also comes with big league bloodlines. He could be a tough sign out of Vanderbilt, but it seems like he’s playing his way into the range where he would sign.

26. Yankees — Brayden Taylor, 3B, Texas Christian

Taylor currently ranks as the No. 10 prospect on our draft board, but he’s been scuffling and despite strong on-base skills and one of the better eyes in the class, teams want to see him hit more than .275—especially as a corner profile. Impact was a bit of a question mark with Taylor entering the season as a corner profile, and he has hit a career-best 15 home runs this spring, but he’ll need a strong finish to the season to get back into consideration for the top half of the first round.

27. Phillies — Bryce Eldridge, RHP/1B, Madison HS, Vienna, Va.

Eldridge has dealt with an ankle injury this spring and has been DHing in exact games, but he’s still drawing big scouting crowds. Now that Skenes is a pitcher only, he’s the best two-way player in the class and teams are split on whether they prefer him as a pitcher or a hitter. It’s easy to put Spencer Jones comparisons on Eldridge given how both players looked at this point in their careers.

28. Astros — Ralphy Velazquez, C/1B, Huntington Beach (Calif.) HS

If three catchers wind up going in the first round this year it’ll probably be thanks to Velazquez and his bat. He has more risk to move off the position than either Teel or Mitchell, but the industry loves both his hitting ability and raw power. There’s a chance for plus hitting ability and plus power potential here, so the overall profile reminds me a bit of A’s first-rounder Tyler Soderstrom, who went No. 26 overall in the 2020 draft.

29. Mariners — Aidan Miller, 3B, Mitchell HS, New Port Richey, Fla.

Miller is a conundrum for teams because he’s dealt with an injury for much of the spring. Most scouts I’ve spoken with view him as a first round talent, but a lack of in-game looks could create some hesitation, and perhaps in that scenario a team with multiple picks like the Mariners would be able to float him down the board for an overslot selection? That’s just me thinking creatively more than any direct Mariners connection with Miller here, who has one of the better hit/power combinations in the prep class.

Other players considered for the first round:

• Chase Davis, OF, Arizona
• Colt Emerson, SS, Glenn HS, New Concord, Ohio
• Dillon Head, OF, Homewood-Flossmoor HS, Flossmoor, Ill.
• Walker Martin, SS, Eaton (Colo.) HS
• Travis Sykora, RHP, Round Rock (Texas) HS
• Juaron Watts-Brown, RHP, Oklahoma State

YMCA Mock Trial

The Washington State YMCA Mock Trial Competition provides an opportunity for students to participate in a competitive high drama courtroom showdown between teams from around the state.

The mock trial allows students to participate in a true-to-life courtroom drama. High school teams of attorneys and witnesses prepare the case for trial and compete at district levels before real judges in actual courtrooms. "Juries" of attorneys rate the teams for their presentation, while the presiding judges rule on the motions, objections, and ultimately the merits. Participants develop critical thinking and analytical skills, learn the art of oral advocacy, and gain a respect for the role of law and the judiciary.

YMCA's Youth and Government held the first mock trial competition in 1987, along with co-sponsors, Administrative Office of the Courts, the Young Lawyer Division of the Washington State Bar Association, Superior Court Judges' Association, and the District and Municipal Court Judges' Association.

Valuable lessons

Mock trials present a "hands-on" learning experience which can enhance classroom lessons, youth groups, and extracurricular activities. Research has shown that students who are involved in effective, law-related education programs show greater interest in their studies, more respect for their teachers, and have a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities. In addition, students will learn:

• Critical thinking and analysis
• Oral advocacy
• Planning and preparation
• Understanding of complex, sometimes controversial, issues and ideas

Real-world skills

Interaction with local judges and practicing lawyers can deliver students a more positive, understanding attitude toward these professions. At the same time, community networks are strengthened between educational and legal professionals as they work together in teaching students and in conducting mock trial competitions. Participants are taught valuable real-world skills in:

• Courtroom procedures
• Legal mechanics
• Dispute resolution
• Decision-making
• Teamwork

Finally, a mock trial experience can help students prepare for the realities of everyday life. Lessons learned in a mock trial experience will apply to real-life adult roles as a litigant, witness, or juror.

Baltimore Sun 11/18/2022 C.J. Doon, Baltimore Sun

© Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images North America/TNS Bryce Young of the Alabama Crimson Tide warms up before a game against the LSU Tigers at Tiger Stadium on November 05, 2022, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

With the NFL season more than halfway complete, it’s time to start thinking about the 2023 draft.

Here are The Baltimore Sun’s projections for the first round, which begins April 27 in Kansas City.

— Note: Pick order is determined by ESPN’s Football Power Index, which simulates the remainder of the season 10,000 times.

— 1. Houston Texans: Bryce Young, QB, Alabama

The only knock on Young is something out of his control: size. The 6-foot, 194-pound Crimson Tide star excels in just about every area, with the ability to scramble, scan the field and deliver accurate throws under pressure. With Davis Mills struggling in his second season as the starter, it’s time for Houston to draft its quarterback of the future.

— 2. Carolina Panthers: C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State

The last time the Panthers had the chance to take an Ohio State quarterback in the first round, they passed on Justin Fields. Carolina can’t make the same mistake twice. While the 6-3, 218-pound Stroud lacks some of the creativity and scrambling ability of his peers, he’s an exceptional pocket passer who avoids sacks and makes accurate throws downfield.

— 3. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos): Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama

Landing perhaps the best overall prospect in the draft as part of the Russell Wilson trade would be icing on the cake for Seattle. While Anderson isn’t physically imposing at 6-4, 243 pounds, he’s remarkably strong for his size and uses his leverage to push the pocket and defend the run.

— 4. Chicago Bears: Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia

The 6-3, 300-pound Carter has been slowed by a knee injury this season, but he’s a game-wrecking force when healthy and might have been the best defender on an all-time great national championship team in 2021. The Bears desperately need a physical presence in the middle of their defense.

— 5. Pittsburgh Steelers: Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson

While T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith form a formidable duo at outside linebacker, the Steelers could use another big body on the defensive line. The 6-5, 275-pound Murphy, who leads the Tigers in tackles for loss (9) and sacks (5 1/2), is an exceptional athlete.

— 6. Las Vegas Raiders: Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson

Outside of star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, the Raiders’ defense has been disappointing, to say the least. At 6-5, 300 pounds, the former top overall high school prospect out of Damascus is as disruptive as they come.

— 7. Detroit Lions: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

The Lions’ top priority should be fixing one of the league’s worst defenses. The 6-2, 210-pound Ringo, who made the game-clinching pick-six in the 2021 national title game, plays with the kind of physicality coach Dan Campbell would love.

— 8. Philadelphia Eagles (via New Orleans Saints): Peter Skoronski, OT/G, Northwestern

The Eagles pride themselves on having one of the league’s best offensive lines and could need reinforcements this offseason. The 6-4, 315-pound Skoronski is putting together a dominant season, allowing just five pressures on 383 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

— 9. Detroit Lions (via Los Angeles Rams): Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

A running back hasn’t been drafted in the top 10 since Saquon Barkley in 2018, but Robinson could end that streak. The 6-foot, 220-pound Longhorns star would deliver the Lions one of the best groups of skill-position players in the league, making life easier for quarterback Jared Goff or his potential replacement.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

For quarterback Trevor Lawrence to reach his full potential, he needs a full complement of weapons around him. A strong run blocker and receiving threat, the 6-4, 265-pound Mayer is one of the best tight end prospects in years.

— 11. Houston Texans (via Cleveland Browns): Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU

The 6-4, 215-pound Johnston is dynamic in the open field, forcing 41 missed tackles on 97 career receptions, according to PFF. He’d deliver the Texans the outside threat they’ve been lacking since trading DeAndre Hopkins.

— 12. Atlanta Falcons: Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

Atlanta found a nice pair of rookie pass rushers in Arnold Ebiketie and Deangelo Malone, but they shouldn’t stop there. While a season-ending pectoral injury could bump him down draft boards, the 6-3, 235-pound Smith has the speed and athleticism worth betting on.

— 13. Arizona Cardinals: Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State

There’s a lot of blame to go around for the Cardinals’ struggles on offense, and the line deserves plenty of it. The 6-6, 310-pound Johnson moved from right guard to left tackle this season and has allowed only eight pressures on 286 pass-blocking snaps, according to PFF.

— 14. Indianapolis Colts: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky

The Colts’ game of musical chairs with veteran quarterbacks needs to end at some point. While the 6-3, 232-pound Levis has taken a step back after a productive 2021 season, he still has the arm strength, size and rushing ability to become a star at the next level.

— 15. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Addison, WR, USC

Maybe this is finally the year the Packers take a wide receiver in the first round. What the 6-foot, 175-pound Addison lacks in size, he more than makes up for with the ability to separate downfield.

— 16. New England Patriots: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State

The Patriots have always been willing to invest in defensive backs under coach Bill Belichick’s tenure. The 6-2, 194-pound Porter, the son of the former Steelers linebacker, has been a lockdown defender throughout his college career.

— 17. Washington Commanders: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

While quarterback remains the most obvious need, the Commanders would do well to upgrade a disappointing secondary. The 6-foot, 188-pound Smith is an aggressive man-to-man corner who’s allowed just nine catches on 22 targets this season, according to PFF.

— 18. Los Angeles Chargers: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State

The Chargers might be facing the age-old dilemma for their star quarterback: upgrade the offensive line around Justin Herbert, or deliver him more receiving talent? Given how infrequently Mike Williams and Keenan Allen see the field because of injuries, adding a wideout might make the most sense. The 6-1, 200-pound Smith-Njigba’s season has been derailed by a hamstring injury, but he’s an outstanding slot weapon when healthy.

— 19. Seattle Seahawks: Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Simpson isn’t your typical off-ball linebacker; the 6-3, 240-pound Clemson star is excellent in coverage and can even blitz off the edge. The Seahawks could use a rangy playmaker in the middle of their defense with 2020 first-round pick Jordyn Brooks struggling through his first three seasons.

— 20. Tennessee Titans: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State

With left tackle Taylor Lewan’s long-term health in question after a season-ending knee injury and former top picks Nicholas Petit-Frere and Dillon Radunz struggling, the Titans need a cornerstone on the offensive line. The 6-6, 308-pound Fashanu has been a revelation this season, allowing no sacks, one hit and only six hurries on 299 pass-blocking snaps, according to PFF.

— 21. Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Branch, DB, Alabama

Even if the Bengals bring back star safety Jessie Bates III, they could use an upgrade in the secondary. The 6-foot, 193-pound Branch can line up as a slot defender or free safety and would pair well with 2021 first-round pick Dax Hill in the back end of the defense.

— 22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech

Depending on where they pick and Tom Brady’s retirement plans, the Bucs could pick a quarterback in the first round. However, the abundance of defensive talent will be hard to pass up. The 6-6, 275-pound Wilson has racked up 47 pressures this season, according to PFF.

— 23. New York Jets: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia

With former top pick Mekhi Becton dealing with injuries and their other tackles struggling, the Jets need an upgrade on the offensive line. The 6-4, 310-pound Jones is a former top recruit who has grown into a dominant player at left tackle for the defending champion Bulldogs.

— 24. New York Giants: O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida

The Giants have their bookend tackles of the future in Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal; now it’s time to upgrade the interior of the offensive line. The 6-5, 347-pound Torrence has only improved against SEC competition after transferring from Louisiana.

— 25. Denver Broncos (via San Francisco 49ers): Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame

After trading Bradley Chubb to the Dolphins, the Broncos have a clear need at edge rusher. The 6-5, 265-pound Foskey leads the Fighting Irish in tackles for loss (9) and sacks (7) this season and is a strong run defender.

— 26. Miami Dolphins (forfeited)

— 27. Baltimore Ravens: Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon

It’s not really draft season until Ravens fans start thinking about wide receivers, but there isn’t a first-round talent who makes sense in this range. With Marcus Peters entering free agency and rookies Damarion “Pepe” Williams and Jalyn Armour-Davis struggling in their first season, cornerback could become a big need rather quickly. The 6-2, 201-pound Gonzalez is the top-rated cornerback prospect according to The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, who says the Ducks star “is long, athletic and can run, which is a great foundation for a man-coverage corner in the NFL.”

— 28. Dallas Cowboys: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia

With Dalton Schultz hitting free agency, the Cowboys might have a hole to fill at tight end. The 6-7, 270-pound Washington only has 41 catches in three seasons, but he’s made the most of his limited opportunities, averaging 17.4 yards per reception. He’s a dominant blocker and a huge mismatch against defensive backs, especially in the red zone.

— 29. Minnesota Vikings: Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah

The only thing keeping the 5-10, 185-pound Phillips from being a first-round lock is his lack of size; he’s tied for the national lead with five interceptions, including two pick-sixes. With Patrick Peterson and Chandon Sullivan hitting free agency, the Vikings need another corner to pair with young building blocks Cameron Dantzler and Andrew Booth.

— 30. Buffalo Bills: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama

The Bills’ desire for a running back has been well-documented. With Devin Singletary hitting free agency, they could pounce on one in the first round. With his vision and pass-catching ability, the 5-11, 200-pound Gibbs has drawn comparisons to Saints star Alvin Kamara, who Buffalo reportedly tried to acquire before the trade deadline.

— 31. Philadelphia Eagles: Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M

While the Eagles look Super Bowl-bound this season, several of their top players are set to hit the open market. That includes starting safeties Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps, among other key defenders. The 6-3, 195-pound Johnson is an instinctive player who can make plays near the line of scrimmage and cover deep.

— 32. Kansas City Chiefs: BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU

Outside of star tackle Chris Jones, the Chiefs’ defensive line has been underwhelming this season. The 6-3, 250-pound Ojulari has been a consistent pass rusher for LSU, using his speed and bend to rack up 117 pressures in three seasons, according to PFF.

A US remake of popular topical comedy show Mock The Week has been greenlit by Amazon, executively-produced by former host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah, and the show’s original creator Dan Patterson.

The BBC comedy show, hosted by comedian Dara O’Briain, ran for 17 years until it was decommissioned in 2022.

The half-hour panel programme featured two teams of comedians taking satirical swipes at current news, pop culture, and world events through a combination of stand-up comedy and improvised games.

O’Briain, who fronted over 200 episodes of the programme, confirmed the axe in August last year, with the final episode airing in October, sarcastically saying the ‘UK has finally run out of news’.

‘The storylines were getting crazier and crazier – global pandemics, divorce from Europe, novelty short-term prime ministers,’ he said. ‘It couldn’t go on. And so, regretfully, we are closing the doors on Dara and Hugh’s Academy for Baby Comedians.

‘We just couldn’t be more silly than the news was already. Huge thanks to all our guests over the years, so many of whom went on to huge successes of their own, and never write or call. It was a joy!’

The UK series featured regular appearances from comedians Hugh Dennis, Frankie Boyle, Russell Howard, Andy Parsons, Ed Gamble and Nish Kumar.

Amazon Freevee, Amazon’s free streaming service, announced a series pick-up for a US remake of the show on Monday, with production set to begin in 2024, though a host will be announced at a later date.

‘Two things I’m most passionate about in life are paying my landlord and making people laugh,’ said Noah, who stood down as host of The Daily Show in December last year.

‘We could all use a little bit more laughter as we continue to navigate today’s crazy world.

‘By bringing Mock The Week to America with the talented Dan Patterson, I’m looking forward to doing just that.’

‘After 21 successful seasons on the BBC, we can’t wait to bring the format to the US and work with America’s deep pool of brilliant comedians,’ Patterson added.

Throughout its time on the air, Mock The Week aired a total of 232 episodes, and featured 131 comedians.

The first episodes aired in June 2005 and over the years featured comedy stars including Boyle, Howard, Chris Addison and Rory Bremner.

The US version of Mock The Week will be executive produced by Patterson, Noah, Mark Leveson, Norman Aladjem, Sanaz Yamin, Derek Van Pelt, and Rob Lee.

Mock The Week is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
