Taylor Mays...USC

stockman311 · 03-02-2010, 03:45 PM

That 40 time sounds about right. I almost fell off my chair when they posted that 4.24 number. That's Deoin Sanders fast, and he should be put on the corner. I am actually torn on Mays. His Senior season really was not up to what I thought it would be and the first player that comes to mind is Dallas' old safety Roy Williams. I just don't think he can cover the deep ball, so he'd have to go to a team like the Saints where we have two elite corners that can protect him and let him roam the middle of the field ala Roman Harper. Let's just say he's no Eric Berry, but still a first round pick as he is an absolute thumper against the run.

the point is moot since he will be gone 20 picks before we select, but I'll ask anyway
you guys are saying you would NOT want Mays in our defensive backfield?

stockman311 · 03-02-2010, 03:50 PM

He won't be gone twenty picks before us. More than likely he goes to a team in the late teens early twenties. Probably 10 picks before us. But I get your point. He won't be around. I think the main point is that we don't need him. We just tendered Roman Harper as at a 1st round pick level so we must think pretty highly of him. I'd say he and Mays are very similar in playing style and Harper has a Superbowl ring.

true dat

mays' senior season seems to have hurt his stock but the fact that he is just a freak athlete will catch someones eye

mays may be a lot like roy williams in the end but im not a fan of comparing future players to current players because you have an idea of what the current player is and you really dont know what the future player is going to be like until he actually gets in the league....that goes for talented players and weaker players

He sucks against the pass! We have a run thumper in Harper. We need a pass coverage safety. Sharper is a ball hawk. You see what he did for us this year. You will have to beat the Saints passing so it only makes sense to draft a great pass catcher. I like Chad Jones and Berry.

We are all set at Safety guys. Really. Harper, Sharper (I still think he comes back), Malcolm Jenkins (our free safety this year or next) Usama Young, Chip Vaughn, Chris Reis (ST hawk). You don't need more than 6 safeties guys.
You really don't need more than 5.

everybody always forgets about chip vaughn

also stanley arnoux could possibly play safety as well so we got our safeties of the future unless sharper leaves then we might have to scramble for a starter

on another note.....everytime mike mayock calls eric berry by his last name......"BURRY" a little kitten dies

If Sharper leaves, Jenkins starts at Safety. At that point I'd be interested in another CB in round 2-4 for depth and to push Gay for playing time.
