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.

Love those qualities but I look for more. Is he is a good tackler? Because the other guys aren't. Does he have the ability to close in on angles and gaps quickly enough? Can he shed off blocks? Is he a smart football player? Does he have the ability to read an offense? Can he read a QB's eyes well enough to point where he doesn't bite on fakes and stuff. I look for good discipline, read and react, timing, physciality, smarts, reputation...is he a team first guy?
