The 2023 SimNFL Draft was the second annual meeting of Simulation National Football League (SimNFL) franchises to select newly eligible players for the 2023 season. The draft was held on April 14-15, 2023. The Seattle Seahawks held the first overall selection (after trading with the Baltimore Ravens) and selected DT Alejandro Rua out of Louisville.

The draft was notable for having a strong DT class. 4 of the 5 A+ overall players were DTs; they were drafted 1st (Rua-SEA), 5th (Caleb Suarez-CAR), 6th (Tony Macura-NYJ) and 11th (Marcus Sirles-MIN). Rounding out the top 5 were TE Don Scott (2-CAR), OT Rubby Stewart (3-SF), and WR Andrew Jones (4-BAL).

The Minnesota Vikings made the most picks, with 18. The Washington Commanders made the fewest picks, with 1.

The Tennessee Titans made Ball State OLB Zach Collins Mr. Irrelevant, selecting him with the last pick of the draft (224th).
