Even with this news I still do not believe there is true value in a first round TE for this offense. The most targets a TE has had under this staff was 68 last season with Hurst when we were seeing predominantly two high safeties. The TE in this scheme has average under 4.25 targets a game and I do not see how you put value in that with a first round selection.
Well, if we get a TE that Burrow likes to target instead of being the last option the targets and YPC for the TE would most definitely go
up drastically. I still want Darnell Wright, DaWand Jones and Bergeron but if Mayer is there or we really think we can grow Washington
in the passing game it is possible we use a TE much more. I know people will mention Drew Sample being a 2nd round pick, but he was
overdrafted and it was a late 2nd round pick and he was drafted to block. We are a passing Offense now, much more so then back then.

Okay, well that takes him out of our thoughts then, been seeing Mayer taken by us in a lot of mocks lately.
I have to be open to the possibility now.
