Was Marcus Maye a good veteran signing?

Maye was highly regarded at PFF for his tackling (a grade of 79.3) and pass coverage skills (71.3), also rating out as an above-average run defender (67.2). But a poor grade as a pass rusher on just 5 snaps (54.6) dropped him to an overall rating of 71.8, which is still fair.
