Taylor Mays just ran 4.24 in the 40 (unofficial times). That's at 6'3" and 230lbs

Trezelle Jenkins was drafted 31st overall and is widely considered an "epic failure".

I think he was more considered a guy who was who everybody but Carl Peterson thought he was. To me an epic failure has to be a guy with big expectations.

IMO, anyone selected with a 1st round pick should have big expectations.

This is an example of ignorant shit regarding Mays. I try to stay out of these discussions but that it is stupid as can be.

I think he will be a nice player in the end myself, but that 40 hype and all is a bit much.

Right, but everybody was like WTF, that's a bad pick.

To Chiefs fans maybe, but around the league it was just another bad pick by Peterson...

And I don't think Mays will be anywhere close to Jenkins. At the very least, Mays will be a solid starting safety for 5-8 years...

IMHO

I heard something really stupid on Total Access last night. Demarco Farr was explaining why Mays didn't make many impact plays last year. He said that it is because USC owns all of the talent in the PAC-10 and there just aren't plays to be made.

First of all, if the other teams are so bad, then there should be lots of plays to be made because those teams would be throwing a lot to try to catch up.

Secondly, last season Oregon State put up 36 points against USC, Oregon put up 47 points and Stanford put up 55 points. Apparently, there were at least a few plays to be made.

How do some of these guys get these jobs?

A front squat, incline press, and hang clean for a max single would tell you all you needed to know. Bench pressing 225 for reps doesn't tell you a damned thing about a guys strength.

Mays isn't getting a ton of hype? Lots of sites months ago called him the best player in the draft before Suh started going crazy. And just check the dumbass 2nd post in this very thread.

Sure he's getting hype, but he won't even be a top ten pick. Seems we are arguing semantics at this point, but if he goes out and contributes and starts for only three years or so, I wouldn't call it an epic failure. And I think that is the bottom floor for Mays.

A guy doesn't have to be taken top 10 to be an epic failure. Part of being an epic failure is sliding in the draft and then becoming a first round bust, regardless of where you are taken in the first. Mays just doesn't seem like a football player to me. More like a workout warrior.

Well, see, that's because your organizations sucks.

If he goes to the right team and gets put in the right system, look out. He's going to be special. Normally I wouldn't think the Chiefs would be one of those teams but with Weis, I think it'd be ideal.

I seriously believe he has league mvp potential and will be the best qb after PM is gone.

NO NO NO; we must stay the course! Okung FTW!
