Full Day 1 results of 2023 NFL draft
There were plenty of surprises in store as NFL teams kick-started the first night of the 2023 NFL draft on Thursday.
Trades were the theme with teams looking to move up and shake up the board. To no one’s surprise, the Patriots were in the business of trading down from No. 14 overall for picks No. 17 and No. 120 from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But it was shocking they were able to do so and still get a legitimate top-10 talent in Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez. It was an A-plus move by coach Bill Belichick, who managed to come away with an elite talent for the future and an extra fourth-round draft pick in the first round.
However, there were other winners on the night, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans. Here’s how the rest of the draft board on Day 1 panned out:
