It appears two quarterbacks have separated themselves from the pack ahead of the 2023 NFL draft next month.
Alabama's Bryce Young and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud are "likely" to be the first two quarterbacks off the board, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Florida's Anthony Richardson and Kentucky's Will Levis are in a battle to be the third signal-caller selected.
The Carolina Panthers currently hold the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft after moving up for the selection in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The franchise has been doing its due diligence in looking at each of the top quarterbacks available.
