2023 NFL Mock Draft: A new successor for Tom Brady in Tampa Bay?
By Brad Weiss
The Carolina Panthers are certainly a team that should be in the market for a quarterback next offseason, but they pass on one here. Their best bet could be to go out and get a veteran in a possible trade, or see what vets are available in free agency while picking the best player with the No. 3 selection.
That player is Will Anderson, who many feel is the No. 1 player in this entire draft class. The Panthers already have an elite edge rusher in Brian Burns, so could you imagine teaming him with Will Anderson for the foreseeable future? A nightmare for NFC South quarterbacks.
Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Kenny Pickett in the first round, and while he has been underwhelming, they won’t move on from him so quickly. Pickett has the talent to be a stellar quarterback at the NFL level, but the team needs to surround him with weapons and get him better protection.
That is why Peter Skoronski could find himself in the top 5 next April, as he is the best offensive line prospect in this entire draft class. Skoronski would slide in as the Steelers left tackle immediately, bolstering a unit that will need an overhaul next offseason.
