Just tossing this out - Taylor Mays as LB? #478981 03/28/10 12:16 AM Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 878 Likes: 17 H Hamfist OP All Pro OP Hamfist All Pro H Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 878 Likes: 17 How would Taylor Mays do as an outside LB in the 3-4? I think he's got the size, speed, and quickness. Just thinking out loud. Last edited by Referee7; 03/28/10 11:07 AM.

Most OLB in a 3-4 go like 260-270 or so. "The Browns' defense is kicking mucho dupa."

The guy is definitely a tweener type of player. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. John Barrymore

Not sayin I think mays could, just throwin it out there. Mays probably could do it in madden tho

Secondly, like Dawgpound said, he is too small for it. Inside backer isn't impossible, but I highly doubt that happens. Atzinger, there is one main difference between someone like Mays' weight and Harrison's. Harrison is 6' max, and Mays is 6'3".

I want Eric Berry or even Thomas, before Mays. I don't think he is very disciplined. The other two have better physical instinct and playmaking skills that can make up for any brain lack.

Give me Berry... He can cover..

Sure, it's possible, but I'm not spending my 2nd round pick on "possible" when you got more holes on this roster than on the Titanic. "One man's Bum is another man's Hobo" - Waterdawg
