2023 NFL mock draft: Third round picks

64. Chicago Bears: Keeanu Benton, DL, Wisconsin
65. Houston Texans: Gervon Dexter, DL, Florida
66. Arizona Cardinals: Rashee Rice, WR, SMU

67. Denver Broncos: Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State

Given the way the board has fallen here, I think the best course of action is for the Broncos to take former South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft. Kraft is an impressive athlete, he can block as well as be an asset in the passing game, and the Broncos are undoubtedly looking for someone to pair up with Greg Dulcich at the TE position. This team wants to pound the ball on the ground and while there will be a place for Dulcich, he's not going to play a ton of in-line reps and the Broncos will likely look to emphasize his strengths rather that fit a square peg into a round hole.

Tucker Kraft is tremendous value in this slot as well.

68. Denver Broncos: Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse

After taking Tucker Kraft, the Broncos turn right around and address a position that everyone has been clamoring for now for years. The offensive tackle spot has been rather neglected by the Broncos in the NFL Draft and the time has come for that to end, especially if someone like Matthew Bergeron is on the board here. He can play either tackle position, but you draft him here because he projects as your starting left tackle as early as 2024.
