Ready for the Draft 2024 Podcast Series - Episode 1 - Intro to the 2023 CFB Season

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft.

We've made it through the summer and it's time for the 2023 College Football Season!  Episode 1 takes a quick look at which draft-eligible prospects to be keeping an eye on as the season begins.  We know that Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will likely be dueling to be the 1st overall pick in the draft with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Olu Fashanu not far behind.  But taking it a step further, an early review of this draft class reveals an offense-heavy top 10.  In addition to the aforementioned trio, you have to expect OT's Joe Alt and JC Latham, TE Brock Bowers, WR Emeka Egbuka and QB's Bo Nix, Michael Penix, Jr. and even Quinn Ewers will be in consideration to come off the board at the top of the draft.  Defensively, on the other hand, the only sure bets appear to be EDGE defenders Jared Verse and Dallas Turner along with CB Kool-Aid McKinstry.  DT Maason Smith is the other name to watch out for if he can rebound from the devastating knee injury sustained during the first game last year against Florida State.  Clemson LB's Barrett Carter and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. also deserve some attention early, but do they have the requisite size to be considered a top-10 pick?
