Right tackle Andrew Wylie departed via free agency and left tackle Orlando Brown is expected to follow suit. So the Kansas City Chiefs acted quickly, signing former Jacksonville Jaguars right tackle Jawaan Taylor. Ari Meirov breaks down why the Chiefs feel comfortable moving Taylor to left tackle, and looks at potential answers on the right side.
Jahmyr Gibbs (scouting report) brings athleticism, speed and home-run ability as both a runner and pass-catcher. He is expected to be selected early in the 2023 NFL Draft and in many fantasy drafts ahead of next season. There is one ideal fit for him to maximize his fantasy production as a rookie: The Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL on Thursday awarded compensatory draft picks to NFL teams. The San Francisco 49ers led the way with seven extra picks, including three in the third round (Nos. 99, 101 and 102) for developing minority candidates to fill the head coach or general manager positions with a new team.
In all, 16 teams received comp picks for losing “more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year.” The 49ers and Los Angeles Rams received four extra picks under this formula — the maximum allowed.
Below is a list of every team’s picks in all seven rounds of the draft:
Note: There are only 31 selections in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft because the Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick.

Here are four ways to improve the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2023 NFL season.
They’ve moved on from Derek Carr. I think the best fit is Jimmy Garoppolo. He’s a quarterback that knows the system. Garoppolo spent time with coach Josh McDaniels as a young player for the New England Patriots. He’s had success with the San Francisco 49ers, although he’s had difficulty finishing seasons.
What makes the most sense is to go out and get Garoppolo, then use one of those later draft picks, maybe in the second or third round, and see if you can find a developmental, young quarterback prospect you like. You can bring that player into the program to develop and train in the system.
It was a problem last year, not only in terms of the running game, but the protection affected Carr. If the Raiders don’t make any changes this offseason, the lack of pass protection will affect a quarterback like Garoppolo, who doesn’t have great mobility.
Maxx Crosby is one of the best players at his position, but he can’t do it alone. The Raiders had 27 sacks last year. That was 30th in the NFL. If you compare that with the Philadelphia Eagles’ 70 sacks and the Kansas City Chiefs’ 55 sacks, you can see why the Chiefs and the Eagles were in the Super Bowl. The Raiders have to find better ways to impact and get to the quarterbacks, particularly in the AFC West.
They need help in the secondary, both at cornerback and at safety. The Raiders have struggled the last four or five years at creating negative plays and taking the ball away. They had 13 takeaways last year, which was the fewest in the NFL. They’ve been at the bottom of the league over the last decade. The Raiders just don’t have a lot of playmakers on the edges and at the safety position.
