Barstool Sports has the Cowboys taking a “no brainer “

[XXLMike]

26. Dallas Cowboys - Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

Exit: Dalton Schultz. Enter: Michael Mayer. Dallas shouldn’t overthink this if the opportunity presents itself. Mayer is a fine blocker who won’t blow you away with athleticism but was nevertheless a prolific pass-catcher at Notre Dame, with 138 receptions across the last two years.

Mayer has a high floor. He looks like he would be a solid player.

 

[Risen Star]

He would make Witten look like David LaFleur.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Mayer has a high floor. He looks like he would be a solid player.

I agree, but I’d also say he has a low ceiling.

 

[Risen Star]

He does seem like the Cowboys kind of TE. He could replace Schultz as a receiver his rookie year and be an upgrade as a blocker.

Doesn't stretch the seams though and I'm jealous of teams like the Chiefs and 49ers who have TEs that do.

 

[Hardline]

He is basically a safe bust proof player I would have no problems taking. He's a 10 year career guy with pro bowls ahead of him.

 

[MonsterD]

I'd be ok with it, although I would rather have the fast playmaker TE. This class is pretty much the good hands sound mechanics and decent blocking pack of TE without any real elite athletes.

 

[baltcowboy]

Could see Green Bay, Washington and San Diego drafting him in the first. Will be the first tight end drafted.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Depending on who is available this might not be a bad option.

 

[XXLMike]

I hate taking a tight end in the first round. I still have nightmares from David LaFleur however, this dude seems legit.
138 catches in two seasons a lot of which were in traffic a very good yac guy as well.

Part of me wants this guy and part of me wants the defensive tackle that Barstool has the Giants taking.

I would be 100% ok with this.

 

[Mr_437]

Ehhh

Hardline if you took Mayer at #26 than what in 2nd round for me OL

 

[bewp7]

nope i hate draft for floor in the 1st round

3rd and later fine

1 and 2 i want upside

 

[cnuball21]

I agree, but I’d also say he has a low ceiling.

Agree. I wouldn’t love the pick but at the same time he’s almost bust proof.

I’m just big on money positions in round 1.

 

[Beaker42]

Mayer has a high floor. He looks like he would be a solid player.

Kincaid is the guy we want.

 

[reddyuta]

Ehhh

not the TE i will pick but i can live with it.

 

[Mr_437]

not the TE i will pick but i can live with it.

Same

 

[CATCH17]

Hard pass.

He may be good but nothing about him screams special and if I draft a TE in round 1 you have to really have some special traits.

He could be another Coke Kmet. Nice player but don’t waste a first on them.
