The 2023 NFL Draft is fast approaching with this year's edition being held in April.
This year's venue is Kansas City with the Draft taking place in a plaza outside the city's historic Union Station. Anticipation for the Draft is hotting up after the completion of the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and announcement of compensatory picks.
The Chicago Bears have the first pick for the Draft after going 3-14 last season while the Houston Texans have the second. Teams can still trade away their picks for players while other NFL sides may prefer to trade for established players rather than take a chance on a college star.

Linebacker Will Anderson of Alabama is widely predicted to be the first pick of the Draft, heading to the Bears, while his Crimson Tide team-mate Bryce Young is being tipped for a move to the Texans. "It went really well," Anderson said of talks with the Bears during the Combine.
"We went in there and watched a couple tapes. "(They) really just got to know me and I got to know them, the culture is great there and I can tell they are onto something special."
"It would mean a lot you know, just like I said all my hard work paying off," Anderson added of potentially being the first pick of the Draft. "You know and just to have that spot - it's big time and I’m really appreciative if I will have that opportunity."
