There aren’t many draft analysts better clued-in than Daniel Jeremiah, who recently published his latest 2023 mock draft for NFL.com. And he has the New Orleans Saints making a sneaky-great pick at the end of the first round. Jeremiah likes the Saints to pick Notre Dame prospect Michael Mayer, pairing Juwan Johnson (who signed a two-year extension last week) with the best tight end in the 2023 draft class.
“Mayer would be an excellent value pick at this point in Round 1. He is a complete tight end, and Derek Carr would have a reliable security blanket on third down,” Jeremiah wrote of the pick.
