The top picks of the 2023 NFL Draft are still shrouded in smokescreens and outright lies, but the Carolina Panthers have apparently found their truth.
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Panthers head coach Frank Reich said the team has decided which quarterback it will select Thursday with the first overall pick, which it acquired via a trade with the Chicago Bears last month.
Reich said Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer approached him about the pick Monday and asked his preference, leading to an agreement on who to take:
"[Fitterer] actually came in my office yesterday at some point and asked the question, kind of like a proposal of sorts.
