Cade Mays, OG

Mays is quite a massive human at 6-foot-6 and 325lbs. He was quite useful In the run game as well as the passing game, leading Tennessee to one of its best offensive performances in years. The guard they sent to the NFL started for the Cheifs in the AFC title game.

There will still be much to make of him as he is quite low on most people’s draft boards, and may or may not even crack my first top-10 for interior offensive linemen. His showings in the multiple off-season ways college players can show off will determine if he does end up in the fourth or fifth round, or if he ends up sliding lower even into UDFA range.

Who should the Texans take in the first round to jump start this franchise?. dark. Next

The Tennessee Volunteers had a great season on the field this year. They may be able to extend their success by watching several of their promising players get drafted into the NFL. They already exceeding this year’s expectations and can only hope to see that fortune continue to play out.
