#406: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Recap of NFC Draft Classes with Bill Carroll)

1. NFC North

-Bears (Was Darnell Wright worth it with the #10 overall pick? Why Bill is more bullish on Gervon Dexter, Sr. than he is on Zaach Pickens. What is Roschon Johnson's likely role in the Bears offense? Why Bill believes the selection of Tyler Scott should NOT preclude the Bears from re-signing Darnell Mooney)

-Lions (Why did the Lions ignore positional value in the first round? Why Sam LaPorta over Michael Mayer? What roles will Brian Branch play this season with similarly versatile DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the fold as well?)

-Packers (Why Lukas Van Ness must be utilized very similarly as George Karlaftis. How do Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft complement one another?)

-Vikings (Why is Jordan Addison a worthy successor to Adam Thielen?)

2. NFC South

-Panthers (Why did Carolina take Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud? What does Jonathan Mingo bring to the Panthers offense right away?)

-Falcons (What role does Tyler Allgeier play with Bijan Robinson now the lead RB in Atlanta? Why will Zach Harrison have a healthy role in the Falcons base defense this year?)

-Saints (Bill on why overall expectations for Bryan Bresee and Isaiah Foskey must be tempered. What makes Kendre Miller a worthy long-term replacement for Alvin Kamara?)

-Bucs (Why is Calijah Kancey in excellent position to thrive in Tampa? Bill on why he LOVES rookie pass rushers YaYa Diaby and Jose Ramirez)

3. NFC East

-Commanders (Why is Emmanuel Forbes a better scheme fit for Washington than Christian Gonzalez? Why did the Commanders choose Jartavius Martin over his fellow versatile Illinois DB Sydney Brown?)

-Giants (Why did the Giants select the higher ceiling Deonte Banks over the higher floor Joey Porter, Jr.? What are the best long-term expectations for Jalin Hyatt?)

-Cowboys (Is Micah Parsons excitement about Mazi Smith warranted? How does Luke Schoonmaker help the Cowboys execute their new offensive system right away?)

-Eagles (If the Eagles keep Hassan Reddick in the fold for another 2-4 years, how will Nolan Smith be utilized? Does Tyler Steen have a shot at the starting right guard spot this year? What makes Sydney Brown so special and what will his role be this season?)

4. NFC West

-Cardinals (Why were Paris Johnson, Jr., Garrett Williams and Michael Wilson all very good pick to establish the new culture?)

-Seahawks (Does the addition of Devon Witherspoon make this the best Seattle secondary since the Legion of Boom? Do the Seahawks have the most dangerous WR trio in the NFL outside Cincinnati with the addition of Jaxon Smith-Njigba? Why Bill believes Kenneth Walker III will still receive two-thirds of the carries despite the selection of Zach Charbonnet)

-Rams (What should we expect from rookie edge rushers Byron Young, Nick Hampton and Ochaun Mathis this season? Can Stetson Bennett be a good "bridge QB" in addition to being a good backup?)

-49ers (How will Ji'Ayir Brown complement Talanoa Hufanga?)
