It is no secret that the Carolina Panthers will be entering the 2023 NFL Draft with their sights set firmly on a quarterback. They don’t just want another Matt Corral in the third round either, this team has an appetite for a surefire franchise quarterback. Any prospect who obviously meets that description is likely to be taken at the top of the draft.
The 2023 draft class features two quarterbacks consistently ranked at the top: CJ Stroud and Bryce Young. Then there is another tier of guys including Will Levis and Hendon Hooker whose rankings depend on the evaluator.
