TAYLOR MAYS, S, USC

Re: TAYLOR MAYS, S, USC

but what about Bigby?

You get him a job at the local grocery store? Maybe he could cut those pesky shopping carts off in the parking lot before they make it to the street. Probably not, but maybe.

I see a lot of people still have that same emotional attachment to this guy that caused them to overlook how poor of a safety he is - or should I say was - as in when he used to play. He hit like three guys hard two years ago - two of them in the preseason, and everyone overlooks terrible angles, sub-Herron speed, and now, his inability to bring those less than standard skills to the field due to injury.

How soon you forget last years playoff game vs. Seattle. Caused a fumble, had three big hits and got completely inside Marcus Pollard's head after the one hit.

Ryan Leaf had that nice game against Denver once too.

I'm completely on board with Mays or Luga as well

Basically at #9 I want a playmaker on defense; guy who will end up a start in the NFL

[red]

i'm with b

those 2 were impressive last night

both look like they would bring a nastiness to the d

mays looks like an athletic freak

i still think we have bigger needs though

and mt. cody is about to play in about an hour

[BZnDallas]

i agree that we have other needs that are more important, but in the first round (especially in the top 10) you draft playmakers!!!... first and foremost!! if there are need players and semi-playmakers in later rounds then reaching for a need is do-able... if Mays is available take him... what would baltimore be without Reed and the indy without Sanders... to me its a no brainer...

[rbaloha1]

Bigby is good. Mays has a chance to be great. The antithesis of Rouse -- loose hips, fast and smooth.

Bigby is good.

Alright. I realize that I've hated on Bigby from day one, but seriously, what is he "good" at? On the football field. I'm sincerely interested in what people perceive as good when it comes to this player, because I am not seeing it.

I completely agree with you Skin

Bigby puts some great hits on people and is above average as a blitzer because he is physical.

But I view him as an average at best cover guy safety and I'm probably being on the kind side by saying that.

I think he's an ideal fill in guy but not starter talent

[Harlan Huckleby]

I thought Aaron Rouse would make everybody forget about Bigby. Unfortunately, Rouse seemed to get injured every single game.

We had better draft a stud D or O lineman. Anything else is just stupid.

Did you watch Ed Reed today?

Last year he had some good games. He's a good run stuffer and he was always around the ball. This year when he did play, he wasnt doing much of anything. Last year might have been a fluke and thats why he was available.

[Lurker64]

About Mays, are we really sure he's coming out? Any chance he stays for his senior year?

If you were in his shoes, and almost guaranteed a top 10 spot, would you risk injury? Will a safety ever go in the top 5?
