It was after him talking about he wanted a tackle or edge if grades were equal.  Then he went on to say if a TE like Mayer was higher on his board he would take the TE., but if Murphy had the same grade as Mayer, he said he would take Murphy

Campo quotes:

"I think one of those two tackles is gonna be there..."

"Big guys first if they're there..."

When asked about taking a defender early he said "if a great offensive player is there - you take him, but ..." 
No mention of TE in that. 

He later describes how dire he thinks the OT situation is to reiterate it as the top priority. 
"You don't know where Cam's gonna be and you may have a guy going to RT you aren't sure of on the right side"
And he describes how corners are gonna be there in the second but only a few are worthy of the #24 pick. 

Mia then told him about McShay's mock where that Jags took Mayer at #24 with Banks, Branch and others on the board and his immediate response was "Well, I wouldn't do that."  PLUS what I've been preaching to you for years:
"after 18 they're kind-of all the same guy. So at #24 I've got 5 or 6 guys in a package that all have similar grades. I'm taking the guy that's gonna help my football team right now." 

LOL

He also says if Myles Murphy is there and Mayer is there, he's taking Murphy.

He's taking a similarly rated player of need over a similarly rated player that may be technically graded higher. 
Just like every front office does every single year on many of their picks.
