[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 965360, member: 6578"] I've dabbled sharing some thoughts elsewhere and I'll possibly bring them over to here...but I gotta start sharing thoughts of some favorite early prospects I think could be on Green Bay's radar due to their position and potential roster needs/wants for next year. I will not do any mocks here, this will be solely for prospect profile discussions. Tight End is a position I could see us facing some serious need at depending if Lewis decides to finally hang it up....Tonyan goes elsewhere...we could go very quickly to needing a guy that can come in and deliver. I have TWO MASSIVE PROSPECTS I LOVE. [U]LOVE[/U]. [B][U]LOVE[/U][/B]!!! [ATTACH type="full" width="304px" alt="1660662733627.png"]18436[/ATTACH] [B]Michael Mayer[/B] is a BEAST among boys at 6'4' 260-ish pounds (swear that seems light at times) In just two seasons he has amassed receiving numbers of a tight end that you'd typically hear is just a pass receiving threat incapable of blocking yet...with 113 catches, 1290 yards and 9 TDs this dude can find the open spot, exhibits soft hands when needed, his body control to high point is uncanny for a big guy and folks...his foot efficiency makes him seem faster and perhaps more agile than he really is. As a pass blocker folks this cat in two seasons (freshman and sophomore years) has given up ZERO pressures and ZERO sacks. ZERO.
