Taylor Mays

[CanuckCowboysFan]

I'm not one for taking Mays, but this line makes no sense. You can't "take something away from a player". That's like me saying, "take away your arms, and you can't bowl worth a ****." Of course if you take away size and speed he would be an UDFA. I think that is true for almost every NFL player. Take away Chris Johnson's speed, and he is an UDFA. Oh, well, guess what. He has speed. "Take away three wins from the Cowboys and they don't make the playoffs." :bang2: Holy crap, give me size and speed and I'll be an NFL player.

Learn to read bud. I'm not saying take away his size/speed as a whole. I said RATIO. meaning, if he's 6'3 230 and runs a 4.7, 4.6 or even a 4.5 for that matter he has absolutely no place in the 1st round, or the whole draft for that matter. Or if he's 5'11 200 and runs a 4.4. But you being the smart guy you are go and give me a story about how you cant take away something from anybody to do something. Take away you're arms you cant bowl, but if you take away a finger you could. Thats a much better analogy. You're not taking away his speed as a whole. Same for Mays. And no it is not true for every NFL player. Other NFl players have but up very pedestrian workout numbers but have torn up the league, in fact a majority have. And where the **** did the 3 wins come from? 40-50 % of safeties in Div 1 football have put up 5 career INT and forced a fumble, why aren't they getting drafted to? Again, if Mays runs a 4.5-4.7, he has no shot of getting drafted. Its all based on measureables, and not performance. Its said the league has come to that.

Mayock has him rated ahead of Nate Allen now.

missed it. which CB?

Some sleeper scouts were sure would be a stud from your school

* Just looked it up. Kevin Thomas

Kevin Thomas? Josh Pinkard? I'm not that big on our corners. Pinkard is a 6th year senior who is better at FS. Thomas couldn't beat out Cary Harris (Buffalo's 6th rounder last year) and finally won a starting job once Harris graduated. I though KeTo(Kevin Thomas) was going to be better when we first signed him but 5 years later, not so much.

Next year Shareece Wright should be one of the better CB's in college football. Youngsters TJ Bryant and Demetruis Wright have potential.

Just saw the guys profile

Was a one-year starter for the Trojans --- Named 2nd Team All-Pac-10 in 2009 --- Missed three games with mononucleosis in 2005 --- Missed most of the 2006 season with a sprained right ankle and broken left foot --- Missed the entire 2007 season after undergoing surgery to repair a left shoulder injury --- Actually earned a starting job for the talent-laden Southern Cal defense as a sophomore before the injuries struck --- Was finally healthy as a senior and began to live up to his potential --- An awfully intriguing prospect who definitely has the tools to excel at the next level but will have to stay out of the training room

Ill pass on that

People can continue to make all the excuses in the world for him, but the game tape doesnt lie. Takes bad angles. Misses tackles. Is an absolute no show in coverage. Doesnt get interceptions or even get his hands on the ball for a pass defensed. Virtually every draft guide scouting report on him is the same.

He's a physical freak almost, but as a pure football player he is mediocre at best. He "looks" like a first rd pick but plays like a guy who barely warrants draft consideration. He'll be one of the biggest busts in this draft IMO and somebody will move him to LB within 3yrs.

You sure do talk as if you are a real scout. I'm not the biggest fan of Mays but damn. Barely warrants draft consideration?:laugh2: . I wouldn't be too mad if we drafted him but I would rather a cover first safety with an attitude. Not just a cover safety.

He's on TV a ton. I probably saw him play at least 15-18 times or more the last few seasons. Only once (I think it was a bowl game his Freshman yr) did I come away impressed.

He ran really fast, has great size and went to USC. Thats why he'll be drafted early. If he had went to UTEP or Florida International, nobody would be saying a word about him.
