August 19, 201114 yr comment_93403 I also wanted Mays badly coming into that draft, but I wouldn't give up much for him now. Singletary didn't like him and now Harbaugh doesn't. That doesn't seem right from a character perspective. Report
August 19, 201114 yr comment_93407 if he was so good would San Fran be giving up on him already??? he has done nothing. Im not saying JA has been good with 2nd rounders but you have to get production out of your 2nd round draft picks. You have to if you want to maintain a high level of play. Geez tell about it.... but im asking has his play sucked that bad? He cant be a worse safety than Dmanning if u wanna talk about 2nd round picks Report
August 19, 201114 yr comment_93408 Geez tell about it.... but im asking has his play sucked that bad? He cant be a worse safety than Dmanning if u wanna talk about 2nd round picks I would say Dm did more for the team then Mays has, not at safety but in the ST department. But like i said JA has not been good with a lot of picks Report
August 20, 201114 yr Author comment_93411 I would say Dm did more for the team then Mays has, not at safety but in the ST department. But like i said JA has not been good with a lot of picks Well since Mays hasn't been on this team, you would be right. But on a more serious note, I see this as an opportunity to evaluate someone who may be mis-utilized (IE: Okoye and Gholsten) and could be a value look. It wasn't all that long ago that people were wondering how much longer Urlacher is good for and where should the team look for an "heir apparent". I thought that would be Roach's job but who knows, having someone like Mays could provide more depth overall...and for the future. Report

August 20, 201114 yr comment_93414 I remember reading awhile back Some coach said he did not have natural ball skills. He could hit but he could not read play to save his life. I beleive his acutual quote was "He is not natural safety and that does not bode well for him in this defense." Report
August 20, 201114 yr Author comment_93417 *Bump* http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5760/taylor-mays I could see, and encourage, the team re-visiting this later. Good point about October and eventual cost. Could be another steal of a deal. Report

You know what i mean, ill spell it out, DM has done more for the Bears then Mays has done for the 49ers. Report
August 20, 201114 yr comment_93430 We had/have a guy who is the best ST player of all time.... What does that have to do with DM having a better output then Mays??? Report
August 20, 201114 yr comment_93433 As for Taylor Mays coming out many thoght he would be better at LB until he ran the 4-4 at the USC Pro Day. Then teams started to salivate at the thought of a big safety that could run and punish ball carriers. Some of the rumors we have been hearing about him is understanding the schemes,totally lost in pass coverage at times and his work ethic being questioned at times. If you ever watched him closely that was exactly how Mays played in college. Wait until it's blatantly obvious who to hit and then run there quickly. That doesn't work in the NFL. Coaches always think they can coach anybody but that isn't always true. Report
August 20, 201114 yr comment_93446 How could someone say that Mays is a better player than Manning? Manning was vastly underrated. Some website did a study and it shows that Danieal Manning was one of the best safeties in football last year. Meanwhile, Mays is about to be cut or traded. Report
August 21, 201114 yr comment_93462 The fact we are comparing Mays to a player we just let go in order to upgrade our safety position pretty sums up my argument. If we were to attempt to bulk him up and coach him on being a WLB then that's something you do during a full offseason, not 3 weeks before the season starts. Report

If we were to attempt to bulk him up and coach him on being a WLB then that's something you do during a full offseason, not 3 weeks before the season starts. Actually it makes a lot of sense. He's a second year player that could be had for relative low cost. Perfect project to be put on Practice Squad and brought up to speed for LB position. By the start of next years camp then see how he's doing. If he doesn't work out, no real harm or foul. Report

There is no way we would pick him up and be able to stash him on the practice squad. That would be a dream Report
