1. Caleb Williams, Junior, QB, USC

Barring something shocking happening in 2023, Williams is going to be one of the top Pac-12 NFL prospects of all-time and the only choice to go No. 1  overall.

He could have gone first in 2022.

---

2. Bralen Trice, Junior, DE, Washington

There’s a big drop between No. 1 and No. 2 and it’s a complete mystery overall after Williams.

There’s no other player in the conference who appears a lock for the first round.

Trice led the nation in pressures last year and has a big-time NFL body, making him a very attractive prospect at the next level.

---

3. Cole Bishop, Junior, S, Utah

Bishop is a balanced big-time playmaker who is getting First-Round buzz for 2024.

He can lock himself in if he has a great season in 2023, building on his freshman and sophomore years.

---

4. Michael Penix, Senior, QB, Washington

Penix is a really hard player to peg.

As a simple QB. and based on his play, he looks like a First-Round pick—his arm strength and vision are among the best you’ll see in college football.

The only problem was last year was the first time he hasn’t been seriously injured in a season, and that makes his draft stock and future a big question mark.

---

5. Bo Nix, Senior, QB, Oregon

Nix is a lot like Penix—there’s a lot that makes him a First-Round candidate, but also major questions.

He exploded in Oregon’s offense last year and was really dangerous when he showed he could be a scary threat as a pure runner.

The question which remains is if NFL teams believe he’s a First-Round or a Third-Round QB, is whether his age and history of ankle injuries will also be factored into.

---

6. Troy Franklin, Junior, WR, Oregon

You’ll see Franklin in some first round mocks already for 2024 given his production, catch radius, and flat-out ability to get open and make the catch.

The only question is that, at 6-foot-3 and 178 pounds last year, he was one of the skinniest players you’ll ever see playing college football. So will be interesting to see how that applies to his draft stock.

---

7. Troy Fautanu, Junior, T, Washington

He was showing up on draft boards before he declared he was returning for the 2023 season.

Fautanu probably actually projects at guard at the next level and his experience excelling at left tackle, as well as his size and athleticism, could make him one of the top interior linemen in the 2024 draft.

---

8. Joshua Gray, Junior, T, Oregon State

Gray has been one of the Pac-12’s best linemen for three years now.

This should be the year he competes for All-American honors and shoots up draft boards.

---

9. Rome Odunze, Junior, WR, Washington

Odunze is 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and had more than 1,000 yards receiving.

He’s long, fast, and has soft hands—basically, everything you want in a receiver—and he could climb very high in the draft.

---

10. Laitu Latu, Senior, DE, UCLA

He was the Pac-12’s best sack master last year and is coming back for another year.

Latu has good size and strength but the question is his health as he had to leave Washington, where he started because UW’s medical team failed him for a neck injury.

If he is passed medically, he could climb very very high in the draft.

---

11. Brant Kuithe, Senior, TE, Utah

Kuithe is one of the best pure players at tight end in Pac-12 history.

He’s had injury issues and is small, though, so it will be interesting to see how that affects his draft stock and where he ends up.

---

12. Jonah Monheim, Junior, T, USC

Monheim was one of the best underclassmen linemen in the Conference last year and a great pass blocker.

His ability to protect the quarterback makes him an excellent prospect for the next level.
