How every NFL team with the first overall draft pick did the following season since 2000
Progress? Reegress?
The Carolina Panthers had the first pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which had a lot of focus because fans were interested in whether the team would select Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.
In the end, they went Roll Tide and picked Young. Smart move?
