Both McGM and coach Sing have said the OT has to be able to play LT and RT for them to be interested.May's is a FS ,not SS. If you would prefer different players ,fine.I think these are positions of need with out reaching to much. more to the point to taking impact players this yr. rather than 6-7 developmental, depth,projects.Get it!
That's terrific...Charles Brown is NOT a RT...so he can't play LT AND RT can he? Yet you want us to trade away a first rounder next year + a 3rd rounder this year for him?
And Mays is not a FS he has terrible coverage ability.
Keep digging.

01 Chad Jones SS, LSU
NFP Grade: 6.9
Scouting Report:
Chad Jones: LSU, No. 3, SS, 6-3, 220
Jones is a unique athlete who was a star on the LSU football team this year and doubled as a pitcher on the baseball team. He's a big, physically built kid who showcases natural body control when asked to break down in space and is a solid wrap-up tackler. He looks natural when asked to attack the line of scrimmage as a downhill runner and does a nice job sidestepping blocks and keeping himself clean through traffic. He showcases a good initial first step and generates power on contact. He takes good angles toward the ball and consistently is able to disengage the ball from his man in the pass game.
Jones is surprisingly fluid for his size and does a nice job cleanly getting out of his breaks and getting after the ball. He's a ball hawk in the secondary who possesses above-average instincts and knows how to make plays. However, he will get caught freelancing at times and will take himself out of plays in the pass game. He showcases impressive straight-line speed and can close once he gets going. Overall, he possesses an impressive combination of size, power and fluidity for a guy his size and has the ability to get even better when he's given the chance to focus on the ball only.
Grade: 6.9
05 Taylor Mays FS, Southern California
NFP Grade: 6.3
Scouting Report:
Taylor Mays: No. 2, FS, 6-3, 230
Mays has a massive upper body for the position with a leaner lower half. He displays good awareness when the ball is in the air and showcases the coordination to go up and knock the pass away at its highest point. He exhibits better footwork than he's given credit for, but it's the body control he displays for a man his size that makes him so effective. He possesses impressive closing speed in pursuit, generating big time power on contact as a tackler. Mays displays a good first step and looks like an absolute missile when closing on the ball. He showcases a willingness to go for the knockout hit on defenseless receivers but isn't nearly as powerful or effective when asked to attack downhill as a run blocker.
He has a tendency to overrun ball carriers and struggles to break down at full speed. He doesn't showcase the type of stack-and-shed ability you would expect from a man his size. He gets too high and leggy when asked to change directions, and it takes him a couple of steps to get back up to speed when asked to redirect. Mays lacks ideal instincts in the pass game, struggles to anticipate throws and always seems a step or two too slow when reacting to the play. He has the range to make up for it at the college level, but it will be a definite concern in the NFL. Overall, he has a rare physical skill set with good ball skills and closing speed, but his lack of instincts could keep him from ever reaching his potential in the NFL.
Grade: 6.3
04 Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland
NFP Grade: 6.9
Scouting Report:
Bruce Campbell: No. 74, OT, 6-7, 310
Campbell is a natural bender who sits into his stance well and has the ability to anchor vs. the bull-rush. He keeps his base down through his initial kick-step and does a nice job of dropping his pad level on contact. He's patient in pass protection, trusts his athleticism and can mirror defenders through contact once he gets his hands on them. But he needs to tighten up his kick-step off the edge, has a tendency to get too overextended in his lower half and will struggle to cleanly redirect vs. the up-and-under move. He isn't a pure Velcro player and showcases the ability to stick to blocks when defensive linemen try to get into his body but will get too narrow in his base and fall off blocks off the edge. Campbell is doing a much better job in the run game extending his long arms, getting his hands inside on contact and locking out at the point.
He does a nice job anchoring into his stance and sealing his man from the ball. He possesses good body control as a cut blocker off the line and does a nice job of quickly dropping his pad level and getting into the legs of defenders. He displays a vast improvement in the run game from a year ago and does a much better job getting his hands inside at the point, keeping his base down and handling defensive ends as an in-line guy. He possesses an impressive combination of power and balance on contact and can create a push and stay on blocks. He has the athleticism to turn opposing linemen away from the play but struggles to consistently generate movement as an in-line guy. Overall, Campbell displays an impressive set of physical tools and possesses more upside than any other tackle in the draft.
Grade: 6.9
Keep pretending,Genus.
