Scout said he was glad Neal didn't remember talking to the Packers. They liked being under the radar on him. Sounds like this scout really liked him.

Seems Taylor Mays is blaming Pete Carroll for his slide. Does this come off as not coaching him enough or blowing smoke up Mays ass for his USC career.
Taylor Mays unloads on Pete Carroll
Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2010 8:30 PM ET
Former USC coach Pete Carroll's new team needed a safety. Taylor Mays is a former USC safety. But when the Seahawks used their second pick in round one on Thursday night, Carroll didn't pick Mays.
A full day and 35 picks later, Mays was drafted by the 49ers. And he's not apparently happy with Carroll, whom Mays thinks wasn't straight with him.
"Um, it was interesting," Mays told Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee after being picked by San Fran. "I definitely thought from the relationship we had, the things that he had told me about what I needed to be aware of with the draft process and things that I needed to do, I felt he told me the complete opposite of the actions that he took, which was definitely -- it was alarming. . . . I understand it's a business. But with it being a business, he needs to be honest. And that's all I was asking for."
Mays then was asked to elaborate on the reason for his beliefs regarding Carroll. "Just in terms of, I didn't have anything to worry about, that my game was OK, that my backpeddaling was fine . . . my tackling was fine. It was all things that I asked -- what I needed to work on, what I needed to show. I was kind of led to think that I was going to be OK. You know, it is what it is and I'm so happy to be with the 49ers on a team that Ronnie Lott played on."
Mays also gets to play Carroll twice per year, and Mays seemed to suggest that his new team is in a better position to succeed than Carroll's.
"I'd rather fall and go to a team where I have a chance of having a better quality career than go earlier and doesn't have more of a chance to win," Mays said.
Maybe there's hope that the NFC West can eventually become interesting again."When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time" Max McGeeComment

I like the pickup of Neal...
With Neal, Raji, and Jenkins in on passing downs, we will have a very athletic DL capable of getting after the QB in tandem with our LBs.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Comes off as being very gullible and defensive over his shortcomings. Carroll had no way to know which safeties were better while he was coaching USC. Carroll told him he was OK. Did he guarantee the first round?Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Who knows anymore?

Mays was more productive than Campbell. He at least was recognized in the conference as a good player. Campbell never got any notice inside the ACC.Originally posted by JustinHarrellBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Love the pick. You can never have enough quality big uglies. Not to mention we're still adding pass-rush ability with this pick. From the looks of the scouting report Neal could provide some really nice inside push.Originally posted by The Leaper"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

I agree.Originally posted by TennesseePackerBackerOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

He seems to put Carroll in a no-win situation, if he does criticize him. Mays is walking around thinking, I'm the starting safety on the #1 team in the country and my coach thinks I suck - WTF. It's like do these jeans make me look fat - can't win that one.Originally posted by pbmax"When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time" Max McGeeComment

Don't forget Everson Griffen. All-Everything coming out of high school, lost his starting job to a walk-on that outworked him, never produced.Originally posted by JustinHarrell</delurk>Comment
