The first day of activities of the 2023 NFL Draft had it all: the forecast was fulfilled when quarterback Bryce Young was selected by the Carolina Panthers with the first pick, being the first of the three pitchers chosen within this first round: the Houston Texans opted for CJ Stroud, from Ohio State; In addition, the Indianapolis Colts bet on Anthony Richardson, who was the Florida pitcher and who climbed in the Draft projections thanks to his performance in the combine against the scouts.
Will Levis, Kentucky quarterback and one of the attendees at the ceremony in Kansas City, was not chosen within the first 31, even though the NFL Draft projections visualized him within the top ten chosen. He will have no choice but to wait for today, when the teams will be able to choose in the second and third round.
Alabama makes history
Not only do they have one of the most successful programs in college football, but they projected two talented players on both sides of the ball. For the first time since 1970, the first offensive player and first defensive player taken in the Draft came from the same university.: In addition to Young, Will Anderson Jr., a pass rusher from Alabama, was drafted with the third pick by Houston, who traded with the Arizona Cardinals for a back-to-back pick, taking two of the best prospects of this generation.
The Detroit Lions kept running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who was selected with the 12th pick, despite the fact that he was projected between the end of the first round and the beginning of the second. Three Alabama players were selected on Day 1 of the Draft.
A Latino to New England
Projected for the Top 10, cornerback Christian González, with Colombian roots, was selected by the Patriots with the 17th pick; the Pats dropped three picks after a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who selected Georgia offensive lineman Broderick Jones.
