anybody know a good site where i can read up on some of the top safety prospects that are declaring for the draft in April?

 

[CATCH17]

Taylor Mays. May be the best defender in college.

Taylor Mays. Maybe the best defender in college.

he's too big. he's 235 pounds already and will only get bigger in the NFL. he will probably turnout to be a linebacker in a 4-3 defense. i see flashbacks of Roy when i see him only he wasn't half the player Roy was in college.

Funny, but I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but the dude is huge. I don't think he'd be able to keep up with receivers in the league.

Except he is the 2nd fastest guy on USCs roster.

Roy never cracked top 10 on Ou's.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Scouts could look at him as a LB due to his size, but his speed suggests that he could remain at safety. His size speed ratio is more along the lines of Landry or Sean Taylor than Roy Williams.

Does Mays make enough plays though? I know everyone raves about his size/speed combo, but in the few games I watched USC this yr I dont remember seeing him do much.

Anybody have his career numbers for tackles, picks, passes defensed, tfl's ect etc

I only watched two USC games this year. He played very well in both.

thanks man

I question if he could stay that fast being that big though. acceleration is key in the secondary and that's a big kid. if he turned out like sean Taylor i'd be thrilled but i have my doubts

which games? and define "well"

did he make any plays?

No way.

He's the next Darren Woodson.

Only he hit's harder and he's faster.

There will never be another safety that could play man coverage like Woodson in his prime. Mays might be fast, but he doesnt look as fluid as Woodson to me.

He brings the wood at 230lbs and he runs a 4.2!!!

Overrated and we won't have a shot at him anyways.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

How about players we actually have a shot at? :

Ed Reed does it now.

But I loved Woody. I wish he would come back and coach for us.

I watched the OSU and ND games, and kinda absorbed some of the Penn State new years day game through a pounding headache and no sleep.

He wasn't the best player on the field, but he always seemed to be in on the play.

I can't recall anything spectacular off of the top of my head.

Possibly Brian Cushing.

oops...nevermind, I was thinking this was a thread about the talent in tonight's game.

 

[This is Our Year]

I've seen some of Mays and he doesn't strike me as the type of safety we need, we need a centerfielder a guy who will so sideline to sideline and make plays on the ball. Hamlin and Roy can hit we don't need a hitter we need a Ed Reed type of prospect..........easier said than done but that's what we need.
