I would like to see him show up more in big games like against Ohio State where he really was a nonfactor. Even when you watch his highlight reels the biggest opponent you see him making plays on is Clemson who has been a tick off the last couple of seasons. Mayer is extremely solid and a very good all around TE but again when I watch there is nothing that screams to me that you have to use a first round selection on this guy.

I feel like Mayer and Kraft are very similar and that Kraft may have a bit more overall athleticism. Granted this is watching an FCS TE but I believe when you look at the skillsets they are are much alike. I feel Whyle is a guy that would really fit the Cincinnati offense like Hurst and that he is a bit faster than either of the previously mentioned.

After watching a lot of film my favorite TE in the bunch is Kraft and I would much rather use a second or third on him than a first on Mayer. I would also feel better about a later selection on Whyle than a first on Mayer.

They test at the combine today so we’ll see how much they’ve improved and who is worthy of what pick!
