2023 NFL Draft: Team Needs and First Pick Betting Odds

The 2023 NFL Draft draws nearer by the minute, and we're finally just days away from the first pick being announced.

Now, no matter how good or bad teams were in 2022, all 32 NFL squads will be looking to shore up holes in their roster and improve the fortunes of their direction during the draft.

Knowing these team needs is crucial for understanding the first-pick intentions of each team.

To help track your team's needs, here's a breakdown of the aggregated team needs from The Ringer, CBS, ESPN, NFL.com, and NFL Mock Draft Database. Team needs are valued with the most important needs given more weight than secondary team needs during the ranking process.
