NFL Draft grades 2023: Live picks, analysis for Rounds 1-3

Round 1

1. Carolina Panthers (from Bears)

The Panthers gave up a steep price (wide receiver D.J. Moore and high draft picks) to move up to get their young  franchise QB of choice for new offensive-minded coach Frank Reich, But Young is an excellent choice, worthy of such an aggressive move up because arm, athleticism, leadership, intangibles, playmaking and all-out mature “it factor.” His size becomes a non-issues because the skills and talent in all other areas are off the charts.
