Like the site, I'm starting to warm up to the Mays pick at 27. I know I will get killed for saying that but his potential is true the roof. Too many fans who pretend to be scouts just look at the stat line and the size/speed aspect of a player and determine how they think he will play in the NFL. And the Roy Williams comparisons kill me because do fans not realize how dominant Roy was when he first got here? He was the top Safety in the league for a few years. After he signed his big contract he just got lazy. Thats Roy's fault, not Mays'.

Roy Williams was a great college player. Mays wasn't. People comparing the two are ignorant. Mays was a much better athlete, Roy was a much better player.
Also just because fans don't like Mays doesn't mean they base it off of those criteria. Some fans (me included) made our judgments by watching him. He's not fluid at all. He can run fast in a straight line, but I strongly question his hips and ability to start and go.
I guess we'll see who's right between the fans and scouts when it comes to his career, but I'm pretty confident he won't amount to anything other than a good special teams player. Assuming he learns to wrap up of course.
I very well could be wrong, because nobody has been right 100% of the time when giving their opinion on a prospect, but in this instance I don't think I am.
