The Bleacher Nation NFL 2023 Mock Draft will be a running mock draft that spans between now and round one of the NFL Draft. Each of the 31 picks (Miami forfeited their first-round pick due to tampering) will get a dedicated post. Here’s how it’ll work:
The Packers are on the clock in the Bleacher Nation NFL Mock Draft …
The Pick Is In
TE Dalton Kincaid — Utah
The Fit
The ༺tight end position is one of the glaring 📖needs for the Green Bay Packers heading into the NFL Draft. Josiah Deguara, who has 39 career catches for 371 yards and two touchdowns, is listed at the top of the depth chart.
Green Bay takes the first tight end of the 2023 NFL Draft, adding Dalton Kinc🅘aid to their tight ends room.
Scouting Report
Dalton Kincaid doesn’t have the ideal tight end size, but he’s a very willing and capable blocker nonetheless. While he will be undersized in the NFL, he has a chance to be one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the league.
Kincaid caught 70 passes for 890 yards and eight touchdowns last season, earning a 90.2 overall grade from PFF. Kincaid had only two drops last season, and his six deep catches and 16 missed tackles forced were both good for third in the F𓆉BS, .
The former Utah tight end is one of🃏 𓄧the best at going up and getting the ball. The catch radius and ball skills at the point are ridiculously good.
Final Thoughts: While developing as a blocker, Kincaid is excellent as a pass-catcher. He’s built well and has the size, speed, and body control to be the league’s most dominant receiving tight end quickly.
