Strong safety? A guy of his size and no experience at that position?

 

More than likely he will go undrafted, no need to waste a pick on a guy who will go undrafted or even if he does get drafted, will get cut anyway, as you say.

 

 

I agree. Matheu will probably have to play FS in the NFL. He maybe able to play nickle corner, but there's no way he's playing SS in the NFL. He is way too small.

It would be no big deal.  Corners that don't work out get moved to safety all the time.  Especially ones who might not have great man to man coverage skills but tackle well in space.  

 

I see Mathieu as a boom/bust type of guy.  If he goes to a team, shows that his size doesn't matter (and guys have done that in the past.),focuses on football, and stays off drugs. . . the guy could be a pro-bowl player.  If he doesn't do those things and/or his size proves too much an issue, then he sucks and gets cut.  

 

Now because of that boom potential, if he's still sitting there in the 6th round (where it doesn't really hurt you if he gets cut anyways), you have to take that chance.  Because if he does boom, you just used a 6th rounder on a pro-bowler.  If he doesn't, then oh well, 6th rounders get cut all the time anyways.

 

I don't think he'll go UFA. . . Honestly i don't think he'll fall to the 6th round.  A team that likes to roll the dice a little more then I do will take him on the 2nd day.  

 

I understand that corners get moved to safety all the time. But a guy who is 5'8 and less than 200 lbs playing SS, a position that requires a guy who can tackle well and hard and be the 8th man in the box, which is not his style.

 

The guy didn't play his last year at LSU and got dismissed from the team. And even when he was a Heisman finalist, a lot of people said he was too small for CB and would get out-jumped by the big receivers.

 

And whoever wants to take on the problem that he presents with the drugs I hope they know what they are getting into. He isn't worth a draft pick at all IMO.

I see him as a Tebow kind of player, he gets a lot of hype but he because of his size, I can't see him playing a position other than CB, and he will get burned by big receivers like Megatron or Fitzgerald.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think based on how they run this defense and player importance.  I truly believe that Murphy and Mitchell could have the same grade, but he is man corner and Murphy is a 3 tech. The 3tech is like the qb of this defense. Everything runs through him. Murphy would have been the pick and I could have lived with that. I really wonder what the Colts offered to move up ?  We will probably find out some day. I bet if it was as low as # 4, I bet it was this years #15 and 2 other 1st rounders.

      They couldn't have known they were the only ones interested in Penix though. I had heard that LV was also interested, but there's always rumors at this time.   No guarantee there will be a QB they like as much as Penix next year, or the following year. Looking at the premium picks it required to get QB 4-6 in this draft, it could be a really steep price to move from the mid 20s to get a QB too.    I guess if they think they can be a playoff team with Cousins for 2-3 years, then there is some logic to making sure you get the guy when you can. Plus, Penix is a bit of a developmental prospect, so Cousins buys time for him to develop, while also allowing them to compete/contend. It's dual paths.   I don't know if I see a collision course with Cousins. He's a really good QB and he will be the starter for at least the next two years (first two seasons are both gtd), but prob 3 years. I am sure that is understood in the locker room. After that, they re-evaluate and there's a chance they are able to make a smooth transition. Plus the young skill position players will be in their primes and in a better position to support a young QB.   It's an interesting approach. No idea if it will work ahd might be overkill. But it's far better than running out Desmond Ridder and Marcus Mariota. I just don't see passing on Latu, Odunze, Murphy, etc. as some move that will drastically alter the franchise three years from now.

      Yeah, I don't think a lot of teams wanted to budge who were in the top 10. I know Lombardi said they were 12 first rounders and Ballard said 19-21. Maybe Lombardi was more right and teams just didn't want to get out of the top 12-15 spots?

      You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player.

      When you do sit back and analyze the draft most of the picks in front of the Colts make sense. 1) Williams. Not a fan of  the player but I get it. 2) Daniels- Need a qb and #2 rated qb 3) Maye-I think the Giants and another team wanted him bad but Patriots just decided to get him and not move back. 4)They needed to pair Harrison with the midget and justify that stupid contract they gave Murray. Give Murray the most polished and tallest receiver in the draft lol.  5)Harbaugh loves the trenches and  wouldn't pass on Ault. Look at Harbaugh's history in building a team.  6) I think the Giants really wanted Maye and were trying to move up but Patriots were not budging. They picked best player available in Nabors and hoping it will help Jones and it wont. 7) Need to protect Levis as the GM picked him last year and need to see if he is the guy 8)Now this is where it went off the rails and stupidest pick in NFL history I think. I had the best D player going here 9) They wanted to pair the 3rd best wr on their board with Williams and I called it when people said the Colts would trade with the Bears and grab a receiver at #9. I get it but would have picked Murphy as it is a perfect fit for Eberflus' defense.  10) Minny loves McCarthy and moved up one spot to make sure they got him. 11) Picked best OT on the board as they need to protect Rodgers upright as the coach and GM will be gone if they dont make the play offs 12) If he was still there, Nix is a perfect qb for what Sean wants 13)Bowers is elite but luxury pick. I would have went best D player on the board. They drafted a tight end high last year. I thought a dumb pick 14) Saints could have picked best player and they went Oline so cannot fault him 15) Ballard should have bought a lottery ticket the day of the draft because Latu fell into his lap. No need to think it over just turn the card!
