[url="http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23Bengals"]#Bengals[/url][color="#444444"] loved Taylor Mays before 2010 draft. Last March, the Dayton Daily News reported Cincy was considering using the 21st pick on him.[/color]

Nothing not to like about this...

I would say it was a low draft pick. Either way you know someone (Marvin, Zimmer or both)
wanted him real bad. Because MB doesn't like to give up draft picks. (Or acquire them from
trading other players or picks apparently)

Exactly. We gave up practically nothing for a potentially huge payout.

Might not really see the dividends until late in the season or next year though...

The Cincinnati Bengals traded an undisclosed draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for safety Taylor Mays, ESPN's [url="http://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter/status/105791775746162688"][color="#225db7"]Adam Schefter reports[/color][/url]. The deal has been rumored for weeks since Donte Whitner spurned the Bengals in free agency for San Francisco.

Cincinnati's depth and athleticism in the secondary has been lacking. Mays, 23, could add both to the Bengals. He recorded 38 tackles in six starts for the 49ers last season.

The Bengals searched for safety help in free agency. The team thought it landed Whitner when he verbally agreed to a two-year contract. But Whitner accepted a better, three-year offer from the 49ers just hours later.

Chris Crocker and Reggie Nelson are Cincinnati's starting safeties. Mays will be added to that mix and should have a chance to compete.

[quote name='scharm' timestamp='1314058859' post='1019476']I love it. During the pre draft Mays was one of those dividing players in which people loved or hated. I say give him a chance and hope it turns to gold.[/quote]
He'll get a chance for sure, Scharm. The Bengals are thin at safety .At least he's young with one years experience . Coyle 's got a big job ahead of him .
