In mid-March, the Carolina Panthers acquired the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft in a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears. That bold decision came with uncertainty thanks to an intriguing quarterback class. Unlike last year, multiple quarterback prospects are expected to hear their names called in the first round. Three or four might go within the initial four selections. But with only hours left before the Panthers make their pick, it's still unclear whom they'll choose. Alabama's Bryce Young is the favorite. Kentucky's Will Levis may be in the mix. Florida's Anthony Richardson is the most naturally gifted of the bunch. Meanwhile, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud took his lumps throughout the predraft process.
