2023 NFL draft live: Pros and cons for every first-round pick
8:44 PM PT
NFL Nation
ESPN

The 2023 NFL draft began Thursday, with the Carolina Panthers selecting Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick.

We will be tracking all 259 picks for Rounds 1-7, and you also can check out all the best available draft prospects.

The draft continues with Rounds 2-3 on Friday (7 p.m. ET) and concludes with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday (noon ET).

Here are pros and cons for each of the 31 players selected in Thursday's first round:

21. Los Angeles Chargers
Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU | Highlights

Why they picked him: The Chargers feature wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams but need a playmaker who is capable of stretching the field for quarterback Justin Herbert. That is exactly what Johnston provides, as a deep threat who possesses the ability to track and catch the football over his shoulder. His 533 yards after the catch last season were 83 more than any other Big 12 wide receiver and ranked 11th overall among FBS wideouts.

Biggest question: How quickly can Johnston learn the offense? He's needed immediately for the Chargers' offense to realize its full potential in 2023. -- Lindsey Thiry

Funny thing I heard on TV. One commentator said Johnston's biggest problem was dropped balls, but he attributed it to bad passing from the QB. Who did we draft at QB? lol

Let's hope he's placed on the practice squad. I hope they don't waste a
53-man roster spot on a third quarterback.

Meh, it's not like the third QB is going to be active most weeks, and I actually like Duggan as a potential backup. Still haven't seen anything that convinces me Stick can handle that role if dog forbid something happens to Herbert.
