Now are you wanting to take Taylor Mays if he drops? He was awful in coverage during one on one drills a the senior bowl. Looked better in the game.

Wilson is a slight reach at 20, but i would not complain if they drafted him.
If we can't trade down and the choice is between Weatherspoon or Mathews, I'll select the LB. He is a unique talent at a position that could be upgraded. If I wanted to minimize risk, 'Spoon is my guy. Price and Odrick are too risky for my taste. I simply can't see how they translate. Price may be available in the 2nd round.

I think I can work with Taylor Mays if I'm willing to assume some risk. He fits in a position of need and if the coaches can teach him something, that's a great fit. He has top 5 athleticism at #20 due to his lack of "instincts" that he claims was a product of his coaching. If I "blow" this pick and he can't play FS, I can move him to WILL and still get something out of him.

I wouldn't be too upset with getting Kyle Wilson simply because we let Dunta Robinson go. We need a better CB anyway to defend Reggie Wayne. Since I can't guarantee that McCourty or Ghee will be available at #51, a slight reach here isn't bad.
