Three Biggest Winners Of The 2023 NFL Draft


The 2023 NFL Draft has come and gone, and after three long days, the fate of 32 NFL teams could potentially be changed forever, and while it's often too early to judge just how every team did, there are always clear winners, so here are the three biggest winners from the 2023 NFL Draft.

Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers made the surprise move to trade up to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and after landing the best Quarterback in the draft, they've managed to compliment him and their offence quite well. 

On top of that, they added to the offensive side of the ball with another star Ole Miss wide receiver in the form of Jonathan Mingo, and now this team is ready to compete in the NFC South if Bryce Young can take to the NFL game immediately. 

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks had two picks in the first-round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and they absolutely nailed both, landing the best cornerback available in Devon Witherspoon and the best wide receiver available in Jaxson Smith-Njigba.

They followed that up with some solid pickups late in the draft, but after taking a big step forward in 2022 on the back of Koby Bryant, Kenneth Walker and Tariq Woolen, and now, it appears they may have had an even better class in 2023. 

Philadelphia Eagles

After hitting on two fantastic Georgia Bulldogs a year ago, the Philadelphia Eagles went back to the well in 2023, landing arguably the best player in the draft in Jalen Carter and pass rusher Nolan Smith, who were arguably best player available at the spot as well as filling a position of need.

Beyond that, the Eagles landed several players that could be considered role players from day one in the NFL, including standout cornerback Keelee Ringo late in the draft, and after trading some picks for D'Andre Swift, they were the clear winners of the draft.
