Earl Thomas goes pro
Move Taylor Mays down to #3 Mecca and for you people pimping Berry while Thomas isn't as physical he's a really really good safety. This will be the best class for safeties in along time.

Mays has better range, he hits harder, he's far more athletic, and he's a better player against the run. Thomas profiles as a poor man's Eric Berry. He's a good player, but he's not the dynamic playmaker that Mays can be.

My opinion: Thomas is NOT ranked above Berry or Mays at this point. Who knows, maybe he goes Superman at the combine. But as of right now, he's #3 at best. JMHO.

Look if Berry isn't there trading down will be an even better option this year if we need a safety. Theres 3 that are first round picks and even Chancellor in the 2nd round.

Mays is going to make a nice linebacker when a team realizes that they got a worse version of LaRon Landry in terms of pass coverage. In the games I've seen Mays doesn't show a lot of instinct in terms of pass coverage. Perhaps he's gambling a bit and using his athleticism to recover, but he does it a lot. He'll get abused in the NFL if that's an uncorrectable fault in his game.

He's playing deep cover 1. If he was gambling in coverage, USC would have one of the worst pass D's in the country, but they don't. The reason why he doesn't show a lot of "instinct" is because he's handcuffed by the scheme. He's literally the last line of defense not on just one side of the field, but the whole field.
