Well that’s something. NFL Network’s Peter Schrager caught some heat for his first 2023 mock draft, so he’s hoping his follow-up is better received. Schrager is one of the better-connected national reporters, and after speaking with his sources around the league he settled on a new name for New Orleans Saints to monitor in the hours leading up to the draft: former Iowa Hawkeyes tight end Sam LaPorta.
“A player who has picked up a lot more juice and buzz of late,” Schrager wrote of LaPorta. “LaPorta and Luke Musgrave are two tight ends who could end up going near the end of the first round.”
