April 27 at seven pm central time. The Carolina Panthers have the first pick followed by the Houston Texans. The Panthers have a big decision to make due to the quarterback talent in this year’s draft. They can take Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis, or Anthony Richardson. In my opinion the obvious choice is Bryce Young, but the Panthers are known for not drafting short quarterbacks and Bryce Young is only five foot ten inches tall. The next option would be CJ Stroud, but he just scored an eighteen percent on the S2 cognitive test which just tests players’ decision making which is pretty important for a quarterback. The next two guys up were late first early second round picks a month ago but have shot up draft boards in the month of April and Will Levis has reportedly told family members he will be a Carolina Panther; however, the source is not a reliable source. If I was the Panthers I would take Bryce Young because he is the best quarterback in the draft and his only downside is his height but that was proven to be no issue while he played in the SEC. Next, are the Houston Texans who should draft a quarterback. However, they could trade back for more draft capital and draft standout wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and purposely tank in the 2023-24 season and draft Caleb Williams who is one of the best quarterback prospects over the last 15 years. That scenario isn’t the most realistic which is why I think the Texans will take either CJ Stroud or Bryce Young depending on which Quarterback the Panthers draft. Third overall the Arizona Cardinals will take Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. It’s a pretty obvious pick due to the needs of the Arizona Cardinals. They are truly lacking on the defensive side of the ball. The early first round also has a lacking talent pool for offensive skill players. So, my first three picks for tonight’s draft are Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Anderson Jr. in that order.
