Oregon NFL mock draft: Stock up after the Senior Bowl
By Sam Fariss
Second round picks:
Oregon’s best receiver coming out of 2023 will see a lot of game time in the league. Troy Franklin’s tall stature and uncatchable speed boost his draft stock and will lead to him being an early second-round pick. Franklin's consistent ability to catch the ball and blow past defenders to the end zone will make him a hot commodity among NFL teams.
While Bo Nix was able to show off his arm strength and field vision during the Senior Bowl, I think that he will fall rather late in the second round. With so many quarterbacks entering their names into the draft this season, Nix will sadly get bumped to the back of the pack. However, I think as teams like the New England Patriots or Washington Commanders come around for their second picks of the week, their focus will be set on the former Oregon quarterback.
