Having a playmaker at the FS position would make me happy too. Personally, I'm wanting a guy like LaRon Landry more than Reggie Nelson, though.

The difficulty at this point is determining if Mays can translate to the next level like Landry did. If he's the next Greg Blue or Darnell Bing, then we might want to look elsewhere. If he's the next Thomas Davis, we might put him at the WILL.

I'll be watching him closely as we get closer to draft day. You can bet on that.

I agree. I've been asking for a safety far longer than anyone, and have trumpeted the value of a guy like polamalu, but I would much prefer we draft an Ed Reed type. There is a very fine line between Roy Williams and Polomalu. Many of the big hitting college Safeties are exposed in coverage in the NFL and have little impact as a result. I'd much prefer a center field type like Ed Reed who has a skill set known to work in the NFL. Than we just have to worry about drafting a good player, not about drafting a relevant one.
