NFL Rumors: Just One QB Could Be Drafted Top-Three In The 2023 NFL Draft

When the Carolina Panthers traded up for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the expectation was that the top-four picks in the draft would then be Quarterbacks, but now, ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that may not be the case after all.

While the Panthers are still expected to take a Quarterback, with Alabama's Bryce Young the sensible pick, the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals are likely to go in other directions, meaning that if things play out this way, the Colts could get a top QB at the No. 4 overall pick. 

Update: A QB isn't expected to be drafted after the 1st overall pick until at least the 4th pick, per @AdamSchefter

"We've heard quarterbacks go 1, 2, 3, 4.. in this Draft, that's not going to happen, I believe."

With Young, Will Levis, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson all expected to be high picks, this revelation comes as a shock to many, and if it does play out this way, Indianapolis will be the biggest winner of the draft early.
