2023 mock draft roundup: Two Wildcats in the first round?
Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe NFL Draft is just over a week away. Four Wildcats have a chance to hear their names called in Kansas City next weekend, which would be the most Northwestern players drafted since 1985. Back then, the draft was 12 rounds long and one Wildcat was selected by the Houston Oilers, so it’s been a while (shoutout to Steve Tasker). With mock draft season in full force, let’s take a temperature check for where draft pundits project these Wildcats being selected.
Note: some of the mock drafts referenced in this article may have paywalls.
