We’re still weeks away from draft season kicking off in earnest, but the discourse surrounding the 2023 NFL draft is already off to a heated start. One polarizing prospect is Kentucky quarterback Will Levis — anonymous scouts are still dealing out quotes about his potential as the draft’s No. 1 overall prospect, but the mock draft industrial complex has chilled on him amid a difficult senior season for the Wildcats.
Levis even fell past the New Orleans Saints in a recent mock draft from our own Luke Easterling over at Draft Wire. The Saints selected Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Hendon Hooker at No. 43 overall, who we’ve advocated for in spite of his season-ending knee injury, with Levis falling to the Washington Commanders at No. 48. Would the Saints let Levis get past them if given that opportunity?
