From ESPN. 2023 Draft Projections.
15. Cincinnati Bengals
Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame*
The tight end with the nickname "Baby Gronk" goes to a perfect situation, where he'll team up with Joe Burrow and three outstanding wide receivers (Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins) to form the AFC's best skill position group. The 6-foot-4, 251-pound Mayer is a throwback player who is a true in-line tight end prospect. Rob Gronkowski is the popular comp, but Mayer plays a lot like the Lions' T.J. Hockenson, who was the No. 8 overall pick in 2019.
To Draft 15th, wed have to go 8-9.
