With our second pick in the draft…

[CPcavedweller]

Jalyn Hyatt of Tennessee or an elite tight end. We need to get a true third receiver who can break the top off of a defense and/or a tight end who can command attention of safeties.

Mayers production in college was remarkable.  He is probably the safest pick in the draft.  He is going to be really good.  This offense would be so much better with him IMO

I know the trade here won't happen, but...... If we could work our way up to #5 and grab a QB.....

Free Agency:  Find a bridge QB, TE, and resign Boz/Foreman, and a veteran DT.

We need a DE, CB, and LB depth out of this draft.  If Williams is healthy he can compete for the #2-3 CB.  Move Chinn back to OLB.  Start the T'oo T'oo train.  Joseph is a heady safety, Tippmann is the perfect IOL for us.  Can play center, but also 6'6 315lbs, can play G or RT as well. Having him and Mayes provides great depth at the interior.  Schoonmaker is a perfect blocking TE, but I would also throw a bag at either Irv Smith Jr. or Gilseki during free agency.  Cut Ian Thomas and Eflin.  The rest of our picks provide quality depth.  McIntosh could be a legit homerun threat at RB.

Same thing was said about Pitts - Falcons are already regretting taking him so high

Has Pitts been that bad?

I forgot he was that high. Yeah you want a pure game changer at that high I guess.

tight end is so deep this year and such a pressing need I think a good one will be available in the second

I’m guessing Edge rusher

[JawnyBlaze]

In regards to waiting and not trading up, taking the second or third TE, I just want to get the best possible players, we have lots of “good” players, we don’t have that many big needs, I’d rather use a couple picks to move up and take the best possible player at a position. In this case I’d rather have a quarter than three dimes when there’s only so many players on the field at a time. Especially when one of the picks isn’t one of our originals but one we got in a trade package.

Especially when they could have taken Chase if they really wanted a receiving weapon

Tight ends tend to drop sometimes.  If Mayer is there in the early 2nd, surely we take him.

Not a blue chip like this dude. Unless he bombs the combine/Pro day or gets injured he's not getting out of the teens.  Conversely if he runs stellar and has an awesome showing, Mayer will be knocking on the door of the top 10.

I do think Mayer will drop some after the combine. I don’t expect him to blow away the 40 or agility drills. He is ~270lbs though.
