The NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday and we’ll finally see where each prospect will land.
After making a big trade, the Carolina Panthers moved up to acquire the number one pick overall. However, they haven’t known which quarterback to select.
With that said, it sounds like the Panthers finally know who they’re going to take with the first pick overall. NFL fans can’t help but take guesses at who it might be.
According to Cameron Wolfe, general manager Scott Fitterer, and head coach Frank Reich came to a “consensus” only recently.
Panthers HC Frank Reich said GM Scott Fitterer went into his office yesterday & asked him his preferred QB to take with No.1 overall pick.
“It was kind of like a proposal. And I said yes. We have a consensus and we are excited.”

So, the Panthers know who they’re going to select in the NFL Draft with the top pick. However, Reich doesn’t reveal who that is just yet.
Considering rumors have floated around for each of the top prospect quarterbacks, it could be anybody.
For that reason, NFL fans couldn’t help but take their guess as to who they think Carolina will select on Thursday night.
The panthers are going to panther, Will Levis incoming…lol

Will Carolina take the betting favorite, Bryce Young?

Matt Mosley thinks he’s got it figured out!
His words are kind of giving it away that it's gonna be Bryce Young here, as reports said he initially wanted Stroud but the front office wanted Young.

Meanwhile, this guy believes things are a little fishy.
So you’re saying that happened yesterday, and Will Levis’ odds to go #1 shift dramatically this morning 🤨

Wouldn’t that be something?
Jumping all the way to number one just to draft Hendon Hooker. Man….

We won’t know who the Panthers take in the NFL Draft until Thursday.
On top of that, they’re likely going to use up the entire clock even though they have a “consensus” decision. This seems to be the case every year. Mainly due to advertising.
The NFL has told teams to take the full amount of time for advertising purposes.

Oh well, at least the Panthers came up with a decision before the draft kicks off.
With that said, Carolina could take any quarterback at this moment. But who will they select?
