Over the new few weeks leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft on April 27, the consensus over who should be the No. 1 overall pick is likely to change frequently, but one thing seems for sure as the Carolina Panthers will select a quarterback.
Four quarterbacks appear to be in contention for the top pick in the draft.
Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson and Will Levis have all made a case to be headed to Carolina come draft day, but not one of these players has stood out among the rest.
However, former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky believes that Richardson should get serious consideration by the Panthers.

There’s no question that the Florida product will get a look from the Panthers and could eventually become the consensus No. 1 in the coming weeks, but it’s still early in the process, with a lot of homework to be done by Carolina.
Even if Richardson doesn’t get taken No. 1 overall by the Panthers, there are plenty of quarterback-needy teams that will follow in the top seven come April 27.
The Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders may all be looking to draft a quarterback with their first pick.
With so many teams potentially looking for a talented young quarterback, there could be another trade or two in the top seven, especially if a team becomes enamored with a player like Richardson.
There could be a lot of action between now and draft day, with teams starting to narrow down their options on their draft boards.
