Could the New Orleans Saints shock the world and make former Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Hendon Hooker their first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft? It’s an eventuality that NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah isn’t dismissing out of hand, though he went in another direction with his final mock draft by projecting the Saints to pick former Clemson Tigers pass rusher Myles Murphy as his first choice.
“I wouldn’t rule out Hendon Hooker going to New Orleans if he’s still available,” Jeremiah wrote. “But in this case, the team fills a need off the edge and lets the Derek Carr era begin without a first-round rookie passer in the fold.”
