The 2023 NFL Draft got underway Thursday evening at 8 p.m. ET in Kansas City, Missouri. The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs served as hosts and that meant we got to hear Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce kick things off with the Super Bowl trophy in hand. Kelce asked if the fans wanted the Chiefs to trade up for the No. 1 pick, but you’ll be shocked to learn it did not happen.
The Panthers held the first pick of the draft and did what everybody expected, selecting Alabama quarterback. It’s been a busy first round with four trades and time still remaining. The full draft order is listed below and we’ll be updating it with the results at the end of the night.
The round will wrap up sometime after 11 p.m. and likely past 11:30 p.m. given that each team has ten minutes to make their pick. There are 31 picks with the Chiefs wrapping things up. Normally there are 32 picks, but this year the Dolphins were stripped of their first-round pick due to the tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton.
