33rd Team

The Carolina Panthers are unofficially on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick as the 2023 NFL Draft approaches. Our scouts predict new coach Frank Reich will wind up mentoring Alabama’s Bryce Young (scouting report) when the team selects him first overall, one of five quarterbacks projected to go in the top 15. Plus, the New York Jets pull off two trades that will alter the history of three franchises, trading the No. 13 overall pick to the Minnesota Vikings — who our experts predict will draft QB Anthony Richardson (scouting report) — and dealing a second-rounder for QB Aaron Rodgers. Led by T.J. McCreight, The 33rd Team Scouting Department has been hard at work evaluating the top prospects in this class. A former player personnel executive for the Philadelphia Eagles and former director of college scouting for the Indianapolis Colts, McCreight has nearly 25 years of NFL scouting experience.
