UCLA 2023 NFL Draft Primer: How to Watch, Mock Drafts, Betting Odds

Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Zach Charbonnet and Jon Gaines II are among the Bruins projected to come off the board this weekend.

The 2023 NFL Draft has finally arrived, and 259 pro prospects are about to hear their names called.

UCLA football has 15 alumni hoping to be part of that group, with each of them taking their own potential paths to the pros. Some got to show out at the NFL Scouting Combine and East-West Shrine Bowl, while others had to make the most of the Bruins' pro day and high-stakes private workouts.

Regardless, a good chunk of those players will officially turn pro at some point over the weekend, joining a long list of UCLA legends in the process.

Here is everything you need to know heading into the draft from a Bruin perspective, from TV and streaming info to recent draft history, mock drafts, scouting reports and prop bet odds.
