I want Burrow to come off his first or second read and then just be able to fire the ball into the tight end. That's why I want(ed) Mayer more: he's more reliable, which is important, especially with our line still possibly being a weakness (even if it's much-improved).
Hopefully, he's working on his routes and becoming more of a traditional tight end while also keeping his big play ability because, like you said, I think our offense would be unstoppable and very explosive.
Agree, definitely understand the more sure thing as far as a pass catcher in Mayer. Washington would help out the OL more as a blocker
though, he is a fantastic blocker, maybe the best to come out at TE in at least 5 or so years. So big and strong with perfect technique.
I am good either way if we pick one of these guys in the first or trade back and grab one of them which would be ideal IMO.
