The Carolina Panthers made headlines by benching their first overall pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, Bryce Young. This decision has intensified scrutiny of their draft strategy, particularly in light of the Houston Texans selecting C.J. Stroud immediately after.

In a mock re-draft, Bleacher Report suggested the Panthers would choose Stroud over Young, while the Detroit Lions opted for Bijan Robinson. The Atlanta Falcons, faced with Robinson's absence, would select Jahmyr Gibbs instead, reflecting on their draft day decisions and their roster's needs.
