NFL Draft 2023: Round-by-Round Analysis

Pick-by-Pick Analysis for Day 3 Rounds 4-5

Round 4

Carolina Panthers: JaTavion Sanders, TE, Texas B.

Sanders is a physically gifted tight end with good size and athleticism. He has soft hands and can make plays in the passing game. However, he needs to improve his blocking and route running to become a complete player.

Round 5

Chicago Bears: Julian Phillips, CB, TCU

Phillips is a sticky in coverage with natural ball skills. He will run vertically with almost all NFL WRs. He has good size and speed, and he is a willing tackler. However, he can be over-aggressive at times, and he needs to improve his tackling technique.

Denver Broncos: Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia

Carter is a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line. He has a quick first step and can generate a lot of pressure on the quarterback. He also has good size and strength, and he can hold his own against double teams. However, he can be a bit undisciplined at times, and he needs to improve his pad level.
