I stand corrected, Oak. Thank you for your help!

True, but i’d say his signing now makes it more likely/needed to draft WR and O line help than a safety early.

I’d take him and Fournette.

Damn, that felt better than I'm willing to admit...

Re: Marcus Maye signed

I've watched as much film on Maye as I could find. Marcus Maye is a better tackler than Marcus Williams. Marcus Williams is better in coverage than Marcus Maye. Talent wise, I think they're comparable. Maye is just a little faster. Williams might be a little quicker and more explosive. Off top I'd say Maye is a very minor downgrade with the potential to be just as good or better under the tutelage of Allen.

I think the "issues" with Marcus Maye in coverage are more related to coaching than they are ability. Maye looks a lot more instinctive while Williams looks well coached. Maye lets people eat up too much cushion while Williams keeps a little more distance between himself and the receiver. Again, I think that's something Dennis Allen can EASILY fix in training camp. If Maye keeps routes comfortably in front of him we'll see him end up with 5 or more interceptions this year.

What I was looking to see is if he had the range to play single high safety in Cover 1 and Cover 3. I saw enough to say yes, I'm comfortable with him in these coverages. He's not better at it then Williams, but he's better at everything else. He can do a lot more than Williams can. He's more akin to Chauncey Gardner-Johnson than Williams to be honest. The only thing he has to work on is keeping routes in front of him. He's flipping his hips too late.

I give this pick up a B+ as of right now.

Well, based upon that it doesn't look like we have lost a single player thus far that makes our roster less formidable than last season. Armstead is the only other significant player that we can possibly lose that cannot be easily replaced depending upon what happens with the Watson deal, don't you think?

It's like a recruit to Bama is a 5 star, except when he commits to LSU... he's then a 3 star.

This is A+ for me. Cheaper and does not whiff on tackles. Our backfield combined with the front DE/DT is better than the J E T S. We'll see if he works out to be as good a pick up as our now vaunted LB also from the J E T S .

We won't know what you really think until somebody else tweets it for you...
