He is most certainly not the best TE in the class. Better at blocking? Probably. Best overall? No - that’s Kincaid.
disagree.
i believe michael mayer is the best,most complete te in this class.

He’s going to be good.

Problem is he’s going to underwhelm as your first round pick.

Like you’ll probably get a long career out of him and look back and think we had a good TE for 10 years.

I just want something more impactful with my first pick.

Not a 1990s classic TE throwback. Boring.
Yeah but on the flipside you've said with Washington you at least get a great blocker and maybe a big a red zone guy. That's not exactly dripping in impact either.

Yeah but he’s likely going in round 2 right?

It would be nice. That’s about it.

Id rather have potentially more explosive plays on offense though then drafting a TE that’s kind of like a fullback for the offense instead of a offensive mismatch.
Whos going to block for that rb? Whos going to extend the drive on 3rd down?

whos going up the seam on play action?

Yeah but it’s not like Mayer is gonna get moved to runningback and we’re all shocked at how good he is at it.

We know what he is. A nice solid player. Yawn.

I’d be begging Atlanta to trade Kyle Pitts then go the Mayer route.
We know what he is. You dont

The guy struggles with separation. He’s the opposite of a mismatch lol.

The dude is a poor athlete.

He’s a guy that wins with leverage.

At least learn the player you’re talking about so I don’t have to teach you.

Would you rather have 5 years of a Jamaal Charles / Alvin Kamara

Or

10 years of Tyler Eifert / Kyle Rudolph / Cole Kmet

I’m taking a risk on a impactful position then getting my solid TE in the first.
Except TB isn't as big an impactful position as you claim. I can get a TB in the 3rd or 4th too and still build a good run game. What's Kamara done for the Saints? Great player, not such an impact on the direction of the franchise.

It's possible he'll go round one if someone gets dazzled by his raw athleticism relative to his actual production and polish.

Torrence reminds me of Leonard Davis
I disagree.

Leonard Bigg Davis in college looked like Larry Allen in the NFL.
- He was completely dominant in college and he had enough athleticism to play LT in college.

Watch the goalline plays in this video. I love the one at 4:52

Pre-Draft Analysis​

Mayer is an excellent route runner whose ability to create separation with physicality getting out of his breaks is outstanding. He is savvy when locating soft spots in zone. His ability to win contested catches is second to none in the 2023 class, and he adjusts to passes thrown outside his frame. Mayer is powerful with the ball in his hands, generating yards by breaking tackles and carrying defenders. He's a tenacious blocker and his technique improved significantly during his three college seasons. -- Steve Muench

Or it’s actual data proving what’s happening at the TE position in the NFL.

Can’t think of many massive Guards with little movement over the last few years

He doesn't struggle with seperation. A lie. Why would you lie? Sad.

Great route runner and quick out of his breaks.

You have no clue who mayer is. I even gave you the lists. Lol

#1 te in the draft

No didnt see it. Do u believe everything u read?
Yes, especially when you see a guy do nothing until the year he is going to be drafted. I do not want any entitled type of players. He was a 5 star recruit and now he finally plays like it, give him money, he may never improve
