With the Carolina Panthers trading with the Chicago Bears for No. 1 overall, it is almost as certain as death and taxes the Houston Texans won’t be picking the first quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft.
Carolina agreed to trade two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and wideout D.J. Moore to the Bears for the opportunity to have the first quarterback off the board. In addition to jumping the Texans, Carolina also catapulted past the Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons, all of whom could stand a franchise quarterback.
