I think Mayo can be as good as Willis for the Pats system, because he is smarter, more capable of learning a new defensive scheme each week, and better vs the pass. He is also virtually identical to Willis athletically, and it was his lack of experience early in the season at MLB that caused some to misevaluate him. As the season went on he got better and better, because he is a very smart guy.
I see the Pats trading back to #13 with Carolina for Ryan and selecting Mayo there.
Mayo couldn;t shed a fire hydrant! Willis can shed a mack truck.
Mayo would be a mistake. I would rather stay at #7 and take Ellis.
