Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
He is a talented football player that is undersized. However judging the type of player the redskins have been drafting lately, team captains, locker room leaders, on the field leaders, this guy does not fit that recent trend. So on that point alone I do not see the Redskins drafting this troubled player unless he drops to the fourth round or below and that is not going to happen.
Bottom line: we have to many needs and this draft is to deep to be taking a chance on a player with a troubled past. |

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
His size shouldn't be an issue, it's whether he is meant to play safety or corner, and if his head is on straight.

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
I'm rolling with whatever the FO thinks, but if he's there in the 4th then make that phone call. We had Banks on the team for 2 years and IMO he did nothing at least this guy plays corner and ST.

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
Third or Fourth Round, Like Mike Mayock said from NFL Network, Redskins should not take him until the end of the third or risk taking him in the fourth.
Great instincts, even though I do not see him as a safety because I think he maxed out his frame at 186 and if he tries to build more muscle he won't have much flexibility, just be a worst Laron Landry. But as your 3rd or 4th corner/punt returner, he is worth a late 3rd/4th round pick. I wouldn't trust him to cover Victor Cruz one on one, feel like he would beat him pretty often, like Tavon Austin, The entire Alabama receiving core, and Rogers did. But if the Redskins would be willing to play more zone, he would do well. Like many of said, its not necessarily that he can play any position, its more of the fact that he really does not have a position, not good enough in man or has the size to play on the outside, not big enough to play safety consistently and there was a reason LSU rarely used him to cover deep parts of the field. Great playmaker but has huge weaknesses that a defense coordinator would have to build around. Last edited by donofriose; 03-27-2013 at 09:42 PM. |

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
5'9 DBs are still all over the NFL...
Not sure where he is drafted, probably no earlier then 4th.

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
I bet Fred Davis and Trent Williams want to see him come to Washington.

Or they can tell him how hard it is to hide a drug problem and that the NFL will suspend your ass with the quickness.

Re: Thread Series: The case for/against Tyrann Mathieu
Report: Mathieu told NFL coaches he failed more than 10 drug tests | ProFootballTalk
So in the NCAA you can just keep failing drug tests and keep playing?

I knew he failed drug tests in college but I thought it was 2-4, not 10. Holy smokes. And how LSU doesn't get penalized is beyond me.
