Honestly, my biggest objection would be tying up that many resources in the TE position.

An OT or a WR would be improving a position actually suffering from problems.

Also, Mayer's two favorite things are probably rape and witness intimidation.
Tight ends are important in this offense. Uzomah and Conklin are below average starters. Having 2 of them helps a lot and makes the unit decent, but we still could use a true TE1. And who knows what Ruckert is. Tight ends take more time than maybe any other NFL position, so perhaps he's developing well behind the scenes, but he can't get on the field right now.

I find your analysis to be sub par.

There are two front seven players I'd consider in the first round:

Baylor DT Siaki Ika
Clemson LB Trenton Simpson

Both of these players elevate our defense.

That said, we should focus heavily on IOL in this draft.  I think we have to patch up OT in free agency.  The interior offensive line (guard and center) group in this draft class is one of the deepest positions groups. 

This post makes more sense here.

Ika next to Quinnen takes so much pressure off of our linebackers and edge players.  I understand that he's a defensive lineman and we've picked so many of those in the first round, but we are once again pretty thin at DT and his ability to impact to run and pass would be huge for our defense.

We'll hopefully be picking towards the end of the first round, so it's a less premium draft selection.  Always the chance a prospect like Ika slides into the second as well.

While on the topic of defensive line,

Auburn's Colby Wooden never really took off this year, but he is a better version of Micheal Clemons.  It'd be nice to have two of that type of DL.

Would you be comfortable taking Tanner McKee in the third round if you get Davis Mills like play from him?

If we got Davis Mills like play out of any 3rd round QB I’d say we should be happy with that. Low to mid tier starter, top end backup play is likely the high end of what we are getting with any QB option the next couple years anyways.
Need a new one for a new board...

Jets need to draft QB Holton Ahlers from East Carolina.  Big-time Hefty Lefty vibes.

No I'm not serious.

That would be a waste of a pick. Not interested in continuing to be stuck in QB hell.

Throw all of the picks at offense

How else are we going to keep up in a game with Mahomes/Allen/Herbert/Burrow

Add Lawrence to this

Draft Offense
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

Lawrence put up 19 points on us, I'm not worried about him yet.

They also didn’t have to “try” once they scored 10 points teams knew it was in the bag since Whites ribs broke

That was a meh game for him I thought

His statline for this year is impressive

There’s some projection above, but I think he takes another step next year that makes it fair for him to be talked about among those other guys

Rattler returning to SC. Guess we can wait a year to draft a qb ;)

I'm gonna get a custom Rattler jersey now just in case.
