Ok, let’s try this again.
On Friday, the NFL—after handing out compensatory picks a day earlier—officially announced the full seven-round order for the upcoming 2023 draft. But, uh, something kinda sorta happened later that night.
In a move that sent shockwaves through the landscape of the league, the Carolina Panthers acquired the first overall pick in a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears. The price to take control of the draft ended up costing 2023’s ninth overall pick, 2023’s 61st overall pick, a 2024 first-rounder, a 2025 second-rounder and wide receiver DJ Moore.
So, now that the dust is beginning to settle a bit, let’s take a look at the updated list of 2023 selections for the aggressive Panthers:
- No. 1 overall (First round; from Chicago Bears)
- No. 39 overall (Second round)
- No. 93 overall (Third round; from San Francisco 49ers)
- No. 114 overall (Fourth round)
- No. 132 overall (Fourth round; from San Francisco 49ers)
- No. 145 overall (Fifth round)
