49ers sent out a mass email this afternoon to teams around the league to try and trade safety Taylor Mays.

when the guy came out i was very high on him. I wouldn't mind giving up a 5-7 for a guy with so much upside. It would allow godfrey or martin to move back to corner if need be. it's also possible the guy could play linebacker at his size. With 4.2 speed and a crushing hitter could be a diamond in the ruff.

haven't heard much from him since he was drafted by the 49ers,but he would instantly become the fastest player on our team. what say you...........

p.s can some moderator edit my title. left out the ers on 49ers.

I like the idea. When I went to practice, I saw Godfrey working either 1 on 1 with the DBs coach or doing things on his own a LOT during down time before practice and during special teams stuff when he wasn't busy doing something. I'd love to move him back to corner. I think he'd be much more natural there. Mays would become a monster in this defense, since it seems blitzing safeties is part of the scheme (from what I saw).

like the raiders and vikings wanting to give away randy moss???? one mans trash is another mans...

It could be a personnel thing in San Fran. Maybe Mays has a problem with the coaches or some teammates there. Doesn't mean he is a bad guy. We don't know the details, and I think it is only reasonable, until we know more, to assume that whatever it is isn't major and doesn't indicate that Mays is a problem guy.

If he can't find a place on an atrocious 49ers secondary, what makes you think he'd do anything here. There must be a reason they are looking to get rid of him, he's either got character issues, or just plain terrible, neither of which are too appealing.

He'll never be a safety in the NFL. Someone should take the Thomas Davis route and make him a WLB, could be great there.

Realistically though, he'll probably be a career ST guy. I've heard he's really good on ST though. Who knows.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
