2013 NFL Draft Prospects

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

You cannot over look his combine and even more important his play against Alabama. He was awful in that game, and that is a problem. Out of position many times and couldn't shed a block from NFL level talent.

There are teams out there that will draft him in round one, but it will be a mistake.

He may be a football player but I think he will fail as an NFL elite player or even as a good one.

Are you referring to Mathieu? NO ONE will draft him in the first round. As a matter of fact I can guarantee you that unless there is a bat $#!% crazy GM out there, he won't go in the top two rounds and maybe not even in the top three. I see him in the 4th-5th round. I give 3rd round a 50/50 shot. 1st and 2nd rounds, no chance.

No sorry I was speaking about Teo.

I would draft the badger in the middle rounds. He has upside and fills multiple needs.

Another guy who I find intriguing for our team is Denard Robinson. Think of the pistol with Morris, RG III, and DR in the backfield. A lot of different options to go with a package like that.

I will add this as well. Adding a player with the versatility of Harvin or in this years draft Tryvon Austin (will go round 1 no shot) would make our team even scarier on offense.

Tayvon Austin is moving up people's boards. I feel fairly certain he can go late first round. He is an explosive athlete and current NFL offenses put more credence on the quick, shifty slot receiver/running back/kick returner combo guys like Percy Harvin.

By drafting Robinson will automatically make the offense more potent than ever, but I don't think we should draft him until 5th round or after. If he actually falls down that far then I would be happy with this pick.

Edit: I forgot to add to my point about the offense being potent with Robinson - if he is able to develop his ability to play as WR then we will have lot of mismatch ups with safeties by using motion from RB position to WR

My point exactly. As well as establishing himself as a threat to run out of the backfield, thus the defense would have to be ready for a run or pass in his direction causing confusion.

You can't blame Manti for his play against Bama. At the time he was grieving for his fake dead girlfriend. Fake grief is distracting.

I can not even imagine the heckling he's going to get in training camp. Where ever he goes I hope that team is featured in Hard Knocks. Now that would really be must watch TV.

From what I saw against Bama his line was getting pushed back into him. But he missed some tackles. He had a bad game but one game should not erase a long body of work. And I would pay no attention to the combine cause no one is in pads. I think Te'o is a good NFL prospect. Is he Patrick Willis? Probably not.
