On Monday, reports broke that Alabama Crimson Tide QB Bryce Young was ending his pre-draft visits with teams. This was a pretty big signal that Young knows he's going to be the No. 1 pick in the draft — headed to the Carolina Panthers.
He's already met with the Panthers, as well as the Texans (No. 2 pick) and Raiders (No. 7). Carolina actually swooped into the position to get this pick last month when it traded with the Bears — who got wide receiver D.J. Moore, the ninth-overall pick and a second round selection (plus two more picks split between the next two years).
Believe it or not, the aforementioned Houston Texans may not actually pick a QB. Edge Will Anderson Jr. from Alabama is expected to get that spot.
Anderson Jr. could fall to third pick, though, as some believe that Texas Tech's Tyree Wilson may be in Houston's sight. Going down the list, C.J. Stroud (QB, Ohio State), Christian Gonzalez (CB, Oregon) and Jalen Carter (DT, Georgia) are also top prospects.
Here's how to watch 2023 NFL Draft wherever you are.
How to watch the 2023 NFL Draft live stream from anywhere on Earth
Don't worry if you're out of the country, because you can keep using the streaming services you already pay for to watch an NFL Draft live stream anywhere in the world. With the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch all three days of the draft, without being thwarted by geo-fenced restrictions.
Our pick for the best VPN is ExpressVPN. Not only does it deliver fast internet speeds, but it's also incredibly simply to use. It also works on practically any device, from iOS and Android to streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV and game consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
How to watch 2023 NFL Draft live streams in the US
Folks in America have a pretty good shot of watching the NFL Draft 2023 live stream on the channel of their choice — or at least one that doesn't cost much to get. Since the NFL Draft is on ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network, it's available on almost every service, including Sling TV, YouTube TV, Fubo TV and DirecTV Stream.
Of these options, we recommend Sling TV and Fubo. Sling gives you a couple of options for catching the NFL Draft 2023 live stream: if you sign up to Sling Orange, you can watch the Draft on ESPN, whereas if you go for Sling Blue you can tune in to the NFL Network's coverage.
Blue and Orange packages start at $40 a month, though the price goes up by $5 if you're in one of the select regions where Blue users pay more for ABC.
Fubo is our other recommendation here because it has a ton of sports coverage, and all three of the above channels. Fubo starts at $75 per month, though you'll be paying more if there are regional sports networks in your area.
Both are among our picks for the best cable TV alternative and the best streaming services.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky sub, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. Pricing starts at £11.98 for day & mobile month membership, with month-long access for £34.99.
