Could easily be an important offensive cog on multiple NFL teams, but right now he's stuck behind Brock Bowers.

At this point, you're looking at TEs who should be considered based only on their ceiling of potential. 

Mayer is overrated based on the years of buzz media generated when he was at Notre Dame. Mayer is an excellent zone receiver who wins targets in tight windows.  He can also win one-on-one in the red zone. 

What holds him back from matching the hype piled on him is his difficulty with winning man-to-man coverage in the intermediate game. He's not a match-up advantage as an NFL tight end in this area of the game and that's the difference between a contributor-level option and a high-end NFL starter.

Solid prospect who returned to his usual majority role in the offense in the second half of last season after taking some personal time off. Has contingent upside if Brock Bowers gets hurt.

Hopefully, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas for Mayer, who has the talent to become a contributor elsewhere.
