Would you draft Taylor Mays to play OLB

I should of been more specific. I think he is going to fall into the second round.

As you pointed out, Al Davis still in the league, no way he drops to the 2nd.

Yes but speed is Davis's weak point. Haden will outrun Mays and plays a more important position. I cannot fathom even Davis taking Mays over Haden.

He needs to stay at safety and we should not draft him anyways. We need a true shut down corner. We have seen how versatile a defense can be by having a guy like Revis, Asomugha, and maybe even both Cromarties...... heck Green Bay is the top ranked defense in the league and its mainly because they have 2 corners that play man up most of the time. A shut down corner is of higher priority over having a big time safety imo.

My emphasis on this coming draft has changed anyway. Instead of a safety I would draft a CB to replace Robinson, or I would go for that RB that has eluded us. However, having said that, our biggest needs would probably be OC and OG, and DL.

Taylor Mays/S/USC: For Mays the week turned into a potpourri of skills he's likely to struggle with in the NFL; he'll struggle handling man-to-man coverage assignments and struggle making plays sideline-to-sideline as a true NFL centerfielder. Mays is still a legitimate prospect for the next level but the limitations he displayed this week will reduce the number of teams wanting to acquire him in April.

Apparently more and more people are looking to Mays as a 'backer as his best shot in the NFL ?

Ugh, I was hoping he'd start impressing scouts and let Earl Thomas fall to us. Guess that's not going to happen now.
