blueridge Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 This is excellent news. And I am very glad they will have the next two or three weeks to sort him out and let Zimmer and Coyle fit him into their scheme. Its the 49ers loss and the Bengals' gain.

Hell, I plan to keep him on ignore until he's at least 25. I kept my oldest on ignore until he was 22 and he's way smarter than this kid.

It's never been said what, but IMO its clear Peter King has some bad blood towards Mike Brown. [/quote]Absolutely true. King has carried agrudge against Mike Brown since he was a beat writer for the Enquirer. King is a tool. Proof? He single-handedly led the move to keep Art Monk out of the HOF for several years.

bengaled Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 [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] but stop for a minute and think about why that was. would you really have rathered we use that pick on taylor mays vs. the guy we used that pick on?

JC Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm skeptical. Not too many teams get rid of a second round pick the season after they take him. They must have been really down on him. I hope he can polish his game up and be a massive contributor to us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Bengal Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 On the 49r's board, they're saying that we gave up a 4th round pick for Mays. If he pans out, it will be a steal! if not, the 2 5th rounders we got for Chad will make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubdub Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I like it just for the special teams ability he brings to the table and the mismatch nickel looks. Can anyone really be upset to have him learning as a number #2 and that one of the UFL fodder backup safeties gets cut??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seemed to stem from a rumor that the Bears had offered a 4th, and that we must have at least offered a higher 4th... Seems a little high to me, especially considering the guy was playing 3rd team defense. 'Undisclosed draft pick,' to me, usually means something in the 6th or 7th round. I guess we'll find out after he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 What is the gamble here: an obviously gifted and dominant college safety who didn't fit on an overhauled/bad SF defense, for a 4-6 pick...or that range of picks, who may or may not contribute a damn thing next season?

I don't like him much as a safety, but even if he's just a special teams stud, situational pass rusher, he brings value to the team and comes at a cheap price. I still say his best position may be SLB, not WLB. Put 10lbs on him and put him behind Manny Lawson since Moch is out. Mays isn't much as a coverage guy as a safety, but I bet he'd be one of the better coverage SLB's in the league, and he certainly has the size for it.

He's a classic compiler, a guy who is decent and has a long career so by the end he has impressive career totals while never being at the top of his profession. Jerome Bettis is another one.

oldschooler Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Rumored Undisclosed pick is valued at being a 4th round 2012 Draft pick. It could conditionally be bumped up unto being a 3rd round pick if Mays were to play 80% of the defensive snaps this season.

[/quote] Hobson said he thinks it is a late round pick. The dude from the LA Times said the 49ers were willing to give him away for nothing. The 49ers were reportedly going to cut him if they couldn't trade him. So I have a hard time believing that rumor at the moment. But reportedly Zimmer wanted him bad in last year's draft. Even tried to trade up to grab him. So if even if the rumor is true, and they were able to still get Dunlap, Shipley, Atkins and Mays and all they gave up was a 2012 4th rounder, that could turn into a 3rd (which obviously Mays would have to play a lot of snaps) I still think it would be a good deal. But obviously the less they gave up the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
