The Carolina Panthers gave away significant assets when they traded up to the top spot in the NFL Draft to select quarterback Bryce Young.

The Houston Texans then drafted quarterback C.J. Stroud at No. 2. 

Stroud has gotten off to an impressive start, throwing for nine touchdowns against just one interception over the first six games of his NFL career. Young has mostly struggled, and the Panthers are still searching for their first win of the season.

Stroud's strong play early on has some questioning whether the Panthers drafted the right quarterback. But Carolina's first-year coach expressed confidence in Young.

"We got the guy that we wanted to get," Reich said. "We couldn’t be happier about that, in every way. I am happy for C.J.
