It’s finally time football fans, the 2023 NFL Draft is officially here!

This year’s class may be the most distinctive in recent memory, with the Carolina Panthers likely taking quarterback Bryce Young from Alabama. The last few days have left the football community in flux, however, after QB Will Levis saw his betting odds drop drastically to become the #1 overall pick. And with C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson also up for grabs, it’s anybody’s guess what will happen Thursday night.

The San Francisco 49ers will also be a storyline to watch this weekend. Despite being the sole team without a first or second-round pick, the Red & Gold are excited about the prospects in the late rounds, hoping to snag a few blue-chip players when it’s all said and done. Possessing 11 draft selections, the 49ers have a chance to retool their entire roster by the end of April.

“The quality of depth is really a signature of this draft for me,” general manager John Lynch stated Monday. “There’s a lot of good football players and a lot that we like. That excites me and that excites everybody and we have to have a productive draft. You always have to be infusing youth into your team and quality youth. And we’re excited about the prospects of being able to do that.”
