Rob Rang (NL Draft Scout) said Maybin is "tight-skinned", which apparently indicates he would have more trouble gaining weight than others ? Huh ?

The question drafting him would be whether you take a guy that may not play every down. Clealy early in his career, at least, he's a guy that comes out on running downs. That being said, if he has elite pass rush skills, I'd still consider him at 15. I don't have a problem with Weaver or Cochran playind DE on 3rd and 1. The real question for me would be if he can hold his ground well enough on 1st and 10 that he's not a huge liability that the opposition will exploit anytime they see him in the game.

Maybe he means that he was cut?

Yup, and he said I was excessively loose skinned.

Roy, do you think Maybin can be the 1st and 2nd down SAM who puts his hand down on 3rd down? He shows the quickest first step in the draft, but he is not a 3 down DE IMO. So can he be a SAM or even a WILL?

That is exactly what I would do with Maybin if I were to draft him for the Texans. I'd also be blitzing my SAM about 50% of the time and expecting my S to cover the TE. While I may be in the minority on this, but I think Maybin has the agility and intelligence to learn the OLB position. Off the field, it's a freakin' miracle that this kid is so clean when he was surrounded by 'punks' like Maurice Evans at Penn St. He will be a better player than Cushing in my estimation because he can apply pressure in the backfield and he's more athletic than Mathews.

I guess the question I'd have to ask is, would we be willing to have Kamerion Wimbley play SAM for a 1st round pick?

I like the SAM idea, but the WILL position could be an even bigger impact. Image taking someone like Kruger in the 2nd, and having Maybin and Kruger on the right side. Both can bring it and the OLT would always have to watch the WILL at the snap giving the DE an edge also. Talk about the games that could be played.

Okay, but only if I get to draft Cody Brown to play SAM.

So three pick in a row for defense? Plus you must not like Diles....

Think about it 2 OLB with althetic ability to go with Ryans, finally.

Maybin, Ryans, Brown

backed up by Adibi, Bentley and Diles

Johnny Holland would not know what to do.

And I could live with it.

Think we could trade down and still get Maybin?
