Taylor Mays the original combine king back in the NFL?

I never understood why the the league couldn’t get anything out of this guy. Not even a special teams player? He had unseen ability and you mean to tell me he couldn’t be Colin jones or Corn Elder? I would have picked him up just to see how he looked behind Adams last season, stick him at Linebacker somewhere. I would still take a flyer on this dude at this day and age for the vet min.

If you don't have the brains to back up the brawn your career will be short.

Because he's an athlete and not a football player. I know it must come as a shock to you, but the NFL isn't a track and field event.

College all-American a few times and big numbers at usc beg to differ... he was productive and the complete package as a prospect. Do your research.

Thing is he just couldn't cover,  and as a Safety you need to be able to cover people.

Yeah that’s my thing. He showed all the traits and skills to play at the next level. I dunno I think you could have atleast got him some snaps at linebacker. I think the nfl doesn’t move guys around at different positions enough if they fail at one spot. If someone like say Gary fails at end I would kick him inside to tackle. Experiment get the most from our guys.

Worked pretty well with Nate Chandler and Sione Fua.

    • Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one. 
    • Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position. 
    • Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
