Kiper, McShay NFL Mock Draft 2023: Anthony Richardson to Colts, Will Levis to Titans

Anthony Richardson and Will Levis remain the wild-card quarterbacks at the top of the 2023 NFL draft, with no one quite sure whether they'll wind up being taken in the top five or sliding down the board for more sure things on the opposite side of the ball.

Mel Kiper and Todd McShay of ESPN released a mock draft Tuesday that had Richardson land at No. 4 with the Indianapolis Colts while Levis slid down the board all the way to No. 11 with the Tennessee Titans.

It's worth noting the mock draft did not include trades, so the experts were locked in to a team's draft position. Therefore, the Arizona Cardinals, who could shop the No. 3 pick over the next week, instead stayed put and selected Will Anderson Jr.

Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud have been widely expected to be taken with the first two picks for several weeks, but the tea leaves have started to change. Anderson is now the favorite to be taken with the No. 2 pick at DraftKings Sportsbook as rumors swirl about the Texans not being certain about quarterbacks other than Young.

Levis, not Stroud, is actually the quarterback with the best odds to be taken No. 2 at +210 (bet $100 to win $210). Stroud is now listed as a +350 underdog.

The Colts, Titans and several other teams could wind up salivating if the Texans wind up passing up a quarterback. Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay hinted at major changes coming for the franchise at the quarterback position in a tweet sent Sunday.

The Titans continue looking for their long-term answer at quarterback with Ryan Tannehill set for free agency after the 2023 season and Malik Willis not looking like an NFL-quality quarterback during his rookie campaign.

It's possible a decision from one AFC South team could lead to a free-for-all to the top of the draft for two other teams in the division.
