Nov 1, 2022, 07:00 AM ETThe 2023 NFL draft is getting closer and closer, as we're now through Week 9 of the college football season. Draft boards are starting to come together, and scouts now have a good sample of 2022 game tape to watch on the class's top prospects.
But not all boards are the same, and we asked our draft analysts -- Mel Kiper Jr., Jordan Reid and Matt Miller -- to pick out players they are high or low on at this point. Plus, is Anthony Richardson still a first-round prospect? And who is the top cornerback in the class?
Kiper, Reid and Miller also single out prospects rising up their draft boards and players flying under the radar who could get a draft-stock boost. Finally, they empty their notebooks with everything they saw and heard over the weekend. Let's get started.
