I think that Mayer is an absolutely solid and safe selection but when I watch him there is nothing that screams to me that this is a guy is a must have in the 1st round. There could actually be an argument made that Mayer is close to his ceiling and what you see is what you get. What makes me say this is big games like Ohio State where he really was a nonfactor.

A guy like Washington on the other hands has only been allowed to show a glimpse of what he is capable of because he was used second to Bowers who was their main receiving target from the TE position.

 I don't think anyone is a most have at our pick, no tackle jumps off the board for me, I do think Mayer is the most ready player to play on game 1 though.
