It was a busy day across the NFC South as the New Orleans Saints’ division opponent Carolina Panthers made a blockbuster move to acquire the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It cost the Panthers a pretty penny letting go of their No. 9 and 61 overall selections in 2023, their 2024 first-rounder, a second-round selection in 2025 and underrated wide receiver D.J. Moore. Why give all of that up? For a quarterback, of course.
