Re Mays, he runs a 4.43 and you're excited ? Really ? Did you see him run his position drills, if so you know he was utterly spastic.
McCourty was impressive.
But disappointed the BSU CB couldn't run today.

Yes, it was a serious question. Earl Thomas could play all over the field, while Devin McCourty could possibly cover a #1 WR.

I saw Mays run the fastest time out of ANY DB at the Combine, so yes that's a bit exciting. Does he need work to become as good as LaRon Landry? Yeah, probably so. Would he make OUR defense better? That's the important question. Will coaching make Mays a better NFL player than he was in college? Could he be a better LB than Thomas Davis and be a hybrid SS/WILL? These are questions that make me put him on my draft board. Am I moving him to the top of the list? Nope.

I hadn't considered McCourty as a First round pick, but I'm getting my head wrapped around it. Similarly to when I thought Duane Brown was a third round pick until we selected him in the 1st. I'd feel better if I knew McCourty had a 36" Vertical.
