2023 NFL Draft: Full two-round mock after Super Bowl LVII
By Brad Weiss
player. 30. . Offensive Tackle. New York Jets. Peter Skoronski. 13
The New York Jets are another team with a big decision to make at the quarterback position, but all signs point to them bringing in a veteran this offseason. Whether that is a trade for Aaron Rodgers, or getting Derek Carr in free agency, the team cannot afford another season with Zach Wilson as the starter, especially with Robert Saleh on the hot seat.
No matter who the quarterback is in 2023, they need help along the offensive line, and at pick No. 13, they add Northwestern mauler, Peter Skoronski. Most feel the team will move on from Mekhi Becton this offseason, and in Skoronski, they get a guy they can plug in at left tackle as a rookie.
47. . Tight End. New England Patriots. Michael Mayer. 14. player
It was a down season for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, but coaches and franchises like them won’t stay down for long. They should be a player in the AFC East as soon as next season, but before that will happen, they have to figure out whether or not it will be Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones at quarterback in 2023.
In terms of weapons on offense, New England has some deficiencies, and a revamp at tight end could be coming this offseason. Hunter Henry will likely be gone in free agency, so at pick No. 14, the team adds “Baby Gronk,” selecting Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer, by far the best player at his position in this draft class.
