#1 Carolina Panthers (via Chicago Bears)

Bryce Young

The Panthers recently took part in a blockbuster trade to receive the first overall pick from the Bears including their 9th overall pick and star receiver DJ Moore. It can only be assumed that the Panthers will be drafting one of the big four potentially generational quarterbacks available.   Those QBs being Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis.  Although some rumors have floated around, I find Carolina will likely stick with reigning Heisman Winner and consensus first overall Bryce Young.

#5 Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos)

Jalen Carter

Seattle is in a strange spot with their draft pick. Although I project Anthony Richardson to still be on the board, and if not him, then at least Will Levis will still be available.  The Seahawks just had their quarterback Geno Smith have a career year, making the Pro Bowl and winning comeback player of the year which will likely lead to Seattle passing on QB to fill other holes in their roster. Which leads to Jalen Carter; nobody is too sure on where Carter will go based on his behavior off the field, but his skill is undeniable and I believe he stays a top 5 pick, landing himself with the 12th man in Seattle.

#9 Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers)

Paris Johnson Jr.

Our hometown Chicago Bears managed to finish dead last in last year’s NFL season acquiring them the first overall pick in which they promptly traded back with Carolina to pick 9. The Bears have plenty of holes to fill in their roster and many rumors floating around surrounding names such as Jalen Carter or Bijan Robinson.  However, we suspect the Bears will pick Jalen Carter if still available we find it much more likely Carter to be off the board, and for Chicago to begin building up their offensive line with Justin Field’s former teammate Paris Johnson Jr.
