[QUOTE="Kutch, post: 249145, member: 2124"] This post is quite old, but it just goes to show how much public opinion can change in less than a year (by no means do I mean to slam you; I just happened to notice this tonight). Mays was a "lock" top-10 pick going into this year, and his instincts were never in question. He tweaked his knee, distractions certainly could have had an effect, and he may have taken some plays off mentally as a result of a lackluster personal/USC season. The final possibility doesn't really inspire a lot of faith, but that doesn't change the fact that Mays played beneath himself and it might not have been because he's a lost cause. Things change, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if the Packers drafted Mays. To the best of my knowledge, Bigby is free to go via free agency at the end of this month. While I'd miss Bigby as the Packers only Rastafarian, Mays supposedly runs a sub-4.4 forty versus Bigby's 4.65 metrics. He's bigger, faster, and younger than Bigby; Carroll tried to play Mays closer to the box this year and that may have contributed to his being out of position more often this year also. As a result, he had only 1 INT but a career high in tackles in 2009 (I'd link statistical evidence, but I just joined the forum). Furthermore, Collins is one of the fastest safeties in the league. If he is resigned and we let Bigby go, I think we get a 2nd rounder this year in compensation. [B]If[/B] Mays can regain his '08 form which everyone else seems to have forgotten about, then I think we'd have the back end of our secondary handled. I think Spikes has been consistent also, and he'd be a nice pick-up down the line to fill out our linebacking corps. Either way, I don't think Thompson has the balls to mess up this draft. Most people in Wausau think he's got to go, and I suspect the rest of Wisconsin agrees. Again, I also agree that we need: OT, LB depth, secondary depth, RB, KR. Most people have mentioned these. Driver's getting old too. I don't think we have any pressing needs that we couldn't fix with some smart moves in free agency, so hopefully the draft will address out depth chart. [/QUOTE]
