Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud were 1A and 1B from the very start of the 2022 playing season. And now, over half a year later, that may still be the case heading into the 2023 NFL draft.

It also hosted Joe Person of The Athletic, who came away from Columbus thinking the Ohio State star and his Alabama peer are the current favorites to be selected No. 1 overall by those diligent Panthers.
