I'd take Gibbs in that scenario. Even though we have two unproven young tight ends, they are both healthy and showed some good things. At running back, we've got a rotational speed back coming off a broken leg and a bargain pickup who was surpassed by multiple backs on his last team.

Would not be upset with Mayer there, though, as the value is good.

Draft analysts' mocks are true projections of what they believe will happen based on what they're hearing -- my colleague Mel Kiper Jr. just unveiled his newest last week -- but I'm going a different route with my third annual GM mock. I'm sliding into the general manager chair for each team with a first-rounder and making my own picks. This isn't what I'm expecting but rather how I'd personally approach each Day 1 selection. And what follows is based off my own evaluations, preferences and philosophies.


1. Carolina Panthers (Chicago) - Bryce Young QB Alabama
2. Houston Texans - C.J. Stroud QB Ohio St.
3. Arizona Cardinals - Will Anderson Jr. OLB Alabama
4. Indianapolis Colts - Will Levis QB Kentucky
5. Seattle Seahawks (Denver) - Hendon Hooker QB Tennessee
6. Detroit Lions (L.A. Rams) - Tyree Wilson DE Texas Tech
7. Las Vegas Raiders - Christian Gonzalez CB Oregon
8. Atlanta Falcons - Myles Murphy DE Clemson
9. Chicago Bears (Carolina) - Peter Skoronski T/G Northwestern
10. Philadelphia Eagles (New Orleans) - Broderick Jones T Georgia
11. Tennessee Titans - Anthony Richardson QB Florida
12. Houston Texans (Cleveland) - Quentin Johnston WR TCU
13. New York Jets - Paris Johnson Jr. T Ohio St.
14. New England Patriots - Darnell Wright T Tennessee
15. Green Bay Packers - Dawand Jones T Ohio St.
16. Washington (Red)skins - Dalton Kincaid TE Utah
17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Devon Witherspoon CB Illinois
18. Detroit Lions - Jalen Carter DT Georgia
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Bijan Robinson RB Texas
20. Seattle Seahawks - Lukas Van Ness DE Iowa
21. Los Angeles Chargers - Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR Ohio St.
22. Baltimore Ravens - Zay Flowers WR Boston College
23. Minnesota Vikings - Joey Porter Jr. CB Penn St.
24. Jacksonville Jaguars - Anton Harrison T Oklahoma
25. New York Giants - Jalin Hyatt WR Tennessee

26. Dallas Cowboys - Michael Mayer TE Notre Dame
I love this fit to replace Dalton Schultz. Mayer is 6-foot-5, blocks well and provides high-end receiving talent. He was very efficient last year with 67 catches, 809 yards and nine touchdowns -- each of which ranked top three among FBS tight ends. Schultz accounted for 14.8% of the Cowboys' receiving yards and scored five of their 28 passing touchdowns, but I think Mayer can immediately fill that void at a high level.

27. Buffalo Bills - Jahmyr Gibbs RB Alabama
28. Cincinnati Bengals - Emmanuel Forbes CB Mississippi St.
29. New Orleans Saints - (San Fran thru Mia, Den) - Jordan Addison WR USC
30. Philadelphia Eagles - Nolan Smith OLB Georgia
31. Kansas City Chiefs - Deonte Banks CB Maryland

What we already have = Mayer
I’ll pass

Wouldn’t be surprised if Dallas is looking to trade down to someone like Kansas City at 31 and pick up an extra 3rd round pick. Some reason I think they want to get their starting left guard with Avila or Torrance in the 1st.
This would be the best option here
