Carolina Panthers Trade for No. 1 Pick in 2023 NFL Draft

Bears Receive Impressive Haul in Exchange for Top Draft Selection

Trade Details

The Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers have completed a blockbuster trade involving the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the full details of the trade are as follows:

Bears receive:

• 2023 second-round pick (No. 39 overall)
• 2024 first-round pick
• 2024 second-round pick
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2025 second-round pick

Panthers receive:

• 2023 No. 1 overall pick

The Bears have now parted with the No. 1 overall pick for the second time in their franchise history. The team previously traded the pick in 1983 to the Baltimore Colts for quarterback Jim Harbaugh.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have secured the rights to select the top-rated prospect in the draft. The team is widely expected to use the pick on quarterback Bryce Young, who won the Heisman Trophy while playing for Alabama in 2022.

The trade is a major win for the Panthers, who have been searching for a franchise quarterback for several years. The Bears, on the other hand, have received a substantial haul of draft picks in exchange for their top selection.
