2023 NFL draft tier rankings: Todd McShay's highest-graded prospects

Prospect rankings for the 2023 NFL draft class are becoming clearer, and I'm starting to finalize my personal board. Slotting players into tiers can sometimes make it easier to compare prospects with similar grades, and it offers another way to look at this year's talent. So I separated the top players in the 2023 class into different groups to help predict when they will come off the board during the first three rounds of the draft.

In all, I have 100 players with at least a 70 grade this year, and I dropped them into six tiers. Twenty-one have a first-round grade of 90-plus, and 79 more earned Day 2 status. Here is how I'm breaking down the best of the best in the 2023 class.
