I'd take him because what Taylor Mays brings is special, he allows the team to blitz because his range allows him to get to places most other guys never could.

I like Mays, too. And would be OK with him at 5/6. But then again, I'm not one of the draftniks that is a stickler for positional value.
Here's a thought: When was the last time there was an NFL draft with two guys who are as big of physical freaks at S as Mays and William Moore?
Moore is going to measure in at about 6-2 1/2, 230. If he's healthy (foot), he will run a 4.4ish time (somewhere between 4.35 and 4.45). His vertical leap will be around 40 inches.
He hasn't been placed in a system to take full advantage of his talents this year, but his physical ability is jaw dropping, just like Mays...
That's two guys with Sean Taylor-type athletic profiles in one draft. Only one in recent memory I can think of that has two such specimens...
