2023 NFL Draft tracker: See all Round 1 picks, trades

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The 2023 NFL Draft kicks off from Kansas City on Thursday with the first round starting at 7 p.m.

Hundreds of NFL prospects are hoping to hear their name called, and 17 were invited to the draft, ready to walk across the stage and shake hands with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

But in the end, only 259 prospects will be selected over the three-day NFL Draft this year.

Thursday night will only feature Round 1 of the draft where each team has 10 minutes to make their selection.

The order teams make selections is based on the reverse order they finish in the league the previous season. Many teams have already made trades with other organizations to move up or down in the draft order.

As of Thursday afternoon, the Carolina Panthers have the first overall pick after trading with the Chicago Bears. They’re widely speculated to take a quarterback.

But as NFL fans have seen over the years, anything can happen during the NFL Draft.
