The 2023 NFL Draft could have taken a significantly different path if the Carolina Panthers had reconsidered their selection of Bryce Young as the first overall pick. Struggling in his first two seasons, Young has been benched in favor of veteran Andy Dalton. As discussions of a re-draft emerge, analysts speculate on which players, like C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson, could have gone higher based on their performances so far.

C.J. Stroud, now leading the Houston Texans, stands out as a prime replacement for Young, having already demonstrated considerable success in his career.
