The Chicago Bears reportedly traded the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft to the Carolina Panthers on Friday in exchange for four draft picks and wide receiver DJ Moore.
Carolina is one of the most quarterback-needy teams in the NFL after enduring two disappointing seasons of Sam Darnold, whom they acquired in a trade with the New York Jets prior to the 2021 campaign.
The Panthers are expected to select a quarterback in this year's draft, and the top available ones are Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, Florida's Anthony Richardson and Kentucky's Will Levis.
Prior to Friday's trade, Young had the best odds to be taken first overall. Stroud is now the owner of that title with -300 odds to be picked with the No. 1 pick, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
