Sounds like Taylor Mays is sucking ass.
http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...rt=NFL&id=5760 Taylor Mays-DB- Player Jan. 27 - 12:53 am et SI.com's Tony Pauline reports that USC S Taylor Mays has appeared stiff in the hips on the Senior Bowl practice field and may force teams to begin projecting him as an outside linebacker. Pauline isn't the only one saying it. NFL Network's Mike Mayock noted that Mays has struggled in man-coverage work, and he was easily beaten off the line of scrimmage by Florida WR Riley Cooper in one drill we saw. At 6'3/231, Mays looks more like a "Will" linebacker than a safety. His stock is slipping. Source: SI.com Taylor Mays-DB - Player Jan. 25 - 8:03 pm et USC S Taylor Mays reportedly drew the ire of an NFL pro personnel man when he leveled Citadel WR Andre Roberts on the first day of Senior Bowl practices. NFL types want to see DBs make plays on the football in drills, not take out 5'11/192-pound return specialists in the open field. This is especially true in Mays' case. He only had five interceptions as a four-year starter at Southern Cal, with just two of the picks coming in his last three seasons. Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution |

Mays can't cover WR's in a man drill, that's the drill all the safeties suck at. If they could do that they wouldn't be safeties. He's far to tall to be able to fluidly flip his hips like a corner.
And Golden Tate reminds me of Josh Reed. |

It is odd that out of all the safeties to participate in these drills this week, he has been the only one to have these things said about him.

Taking a 6'3 guy and putting him in a man drill is basically exposing him for sucking at something everyone knows he can't do. Safeties struggle with that drill every single year, there's a few that can do it then they get talked up as "hey he can play some CB" or slot CB. |

Chad Jones is basically the exact same thing Mays is without being quite as fast or athletic, he's huge too. Burnett and Stuckey don't really flip their hips well either, Berry and Thomas do because they are CB sized.
Taylor Mays is not going to cut on a dime or show corner agility at 6'3 230 it's just not happening. The only thing I've seen that he needs to work on is he needs to break off the hash a little faster because he's going to be a bit closer to the line than he's use to. |

All the talk now is that Mays will have to move to LB since he can't he will be a liability against the pass.

Earl Thomas will be a better NFL safety than Taylor Mays.

And not sure why people would bitch about Cody in the 2nd round. The 3-4 is useless without a Nose Tackle.

Earl Thomas is so freakin tiny. But they aren't remotely similar players, Thomas is CB sized.
