With the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers are back in position to solve their quarterback problems prevalent since Cam Newton was released.
General manager Scott Fitterer acquired the top pick in the draft from the Chicago Bears in March, parting with the ninth overall pick, wide receiver DJ Moore and a first-round pick in 2024.
This is Fitterer's latest effort to find a franchise quarterback for Carolina. The Panthers abandoned 2018 draft picks acquired from their original teams, releasing the No. 1 pick in that draft, Baker Mayfield, and cutting ties with Sam Darnold.
