The Raiders selected Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He is considered the most well-rounded tight end in the class, possessing the skills to move the chains as a receiver in the short and intermediate attack while also being used in-line as a blocker. He was a stat sheet stuffer with the Fighting Irish, catching 70-plus passes for over 800 yards with 16 combined touchdowns in his final two seasons as their top pass catcher.
