The 2022 NFL Draft is officially behind us, which means that we are now free to openly talk about the 2023 NFL Draft and speculate about which players might go.

Who will be the No. 1 overall pick, and more importantly for Oregon Duck fans, which players on the current roster have the best chance to make an impact at the next level?

Justin Flowe needs to maintain his health, but he has every bit of skill to match his teammate. Keep an eye on the undersized Ivan Pace Jr. as he transfers to Cincinnati with big shoes to fill. Pace Jr. is…
