The 2023 NFL Draft order is coming into focus, which means the board is also becoming clearer. ESPN’s Todd McShay shook up his draft board as a result, including a new top overall player.

Former Alabama star Bryce Young is now McShay’s No. 1 player, jumping teammate Will Anderson. Young is widely considered the top quarterback on the board and could be the No. 1 pick, depending on what direction the Chicago Bears go with the top selection. Anderson and Jalen Carter are viewed as the top two defenders on the board, and Carter came in as No. 3 player on McShay’s board.
