Now that the 2023 NFL season is in the books, we can look back and see which teams got it right and which ones got it wrong with their first-round picks in the 2023 NFL draft. We decided to use the 2023 draft order, removing all trades for his re-draft. Now let’s get to fixing all the mistakes the NFL made last spring.
The Panthers got it wrong with Bryce Young while Stroud was a star as a rookie.
After missing out on Stroud, the Texans land Anthony Richardson Jr. who flashed elite traits prior to his injury.
The Cardinals originally got offensive tackle Paris Johnson but instead opted for edge defender Will Anderson Jr. who took the league by storm.
With Richardson off the board but a quarterback still the top need, we went with former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis.
The Seahawks drafted cornerback Devon Witherspoon in the original draft and have no regrets. We switched it up since they selected a wide receiver with the No. 20 pick the first time around so we upgrade that pick here.
The Lions moved back in the original draft to land Gibbs but his impact was significant enough we will go ahead and give him to them here as well.
After seemingly wasting a pick on Tyree Wilson, the Raiders make a huge correction with Jalen Carter.

The Packers made a mistake with Lukas Van Ness but corrected that mistake with defensive back Brian Branch who was impressive last season.
Hopefully getting a receiver like Rice can make on of the Patriots quarterbacks serviceable.
The Jets did OK with Will McDonald but this time around they have to take Joe Tippmann to be sure they have him on the team after a strong season.
Emmanuel Forbes was up and down as a first-round pick so we went with edge defender Byron Young who was great as a rookie and poised to be a star on a Washington team in 2024.
Pittsburgh loses out on Broderick Jones here but makes sure to secure Joey Porter Jr. to solidify the cornerback spot.
Sam LaPorta was huge for the Lions last season and they would gladly take him in the first to be sure they get him again.
Calijah Kancey had a very good rookie season but there’s no way the Bucs can pass up the elite potential of Bijan Robinson at running back.
The Seahawks can always use more big bodies up front and Keeanu Benton came on strong last season as a…
