Thumbs up or Thumbs down?

[Dark Superman]

If Tyrann Mathieu was available in the third round when we select..

Would you guys take the risk?

[Narcosys]

Depends. Is Trufant there?

[Deathiltis]

He's like Deion Sanders without the talent.

[Dustin]

He's like Deion Sanders without the talent.

[jvan1973]

not in the third... maybe the forth

[Dark Superman]

I don't see him lasting to the fourth. I think he may get snagged in round 2.

[Gavin]

Down but some team will overprice him and he probably gets picked in the late 2nd at the latest

[IndyColtScout]

Maybe, did we draft a CB in the 1st?

Ide consider him but Ide probably pass. I've smoked pot, I don't care that he did that. What I care about is he couldn't quit for a full ride & a crack at being a millionaire. Where is the self control & with ethic?

[lollygagger8]

He's like a Badger, without the Honey

[GoColts8818]

This is a safety rich draft I would much rather get one without the off the field issues. 

[MrNLM]

I assume the OP and some others are watching 'Gamechangers' on NFLN...

 

We draft later in the third and I think I would take a risk on this guy. He could benefit from a coach like Pagano and the staff we have.

 

When I listen to these guys talk I want to hear confidence and certainty... I heard that from the Honey Badger and from Kenny Vaccaro. I also liked what I heard from two QBs... Jordan Rodgers and Geno Smith. 

[TKnight24]

He's going to the Redskins watch

[CR91]

For a third I'd do it. guy was a top talent before his stupid decision.

[Carlos Danger]

our 3rd round pick is practically a 4th anyway... I'd have to see who else is there, but I think he could be a value pick in the third if he interviewed well when/if our guys talked to him....

[Tyler Shaw]

He's going to the Redskins watch

lol that or the bengals.

[21isSuperman]

I would definitely take him in the 3rd.  I think he is a natural football player.  He can cover, he can tackle, he has ball skills.  I think he will be a very good player.  I don't think a player becomes a Heisman candidate, especially on defense, without talent.  2nd round is too high to take him (though it's very possible he does go in that round), but I would take him in the 3rd.  If he kept his nose clean, he could have been a first rounder.  Personally, I think his off the field issues are overblown

This.

 

His cultural(his words) growing up is one thing... being around the kind of people that promote that behavior is another. He can learn from his past and use it now to know he just can't be that kid anymore. If he were there for us in the third round I would have to think he knows he is going to a team where he can learn his trade at the pro level and nurture a new lifestyle while being around people that want to support his progress as an individual and role model.

 

Plus the dude reminds me of Blake Griffin and we all know he is a PLAYMAKER!!! 

[jride21]

100%. He is worth a 3rd. IF he stayed clean he would have been a top 5 pick this year

[MikeVander]

Personally, I think his off the field issues are overblown

The media is tricky, but from what I can tell, the trick is to kill two guys after the superbowl and then you'll be in their good graces.

Much like Jenoris Jenkins last year. I think the whole "smoking weed" aspect about players is as you say "overblown". Give me a pot head over a drunk any day. Yes, I am fully aware its an illegal act, and no I don't participate in it, but based on perspective, its treated in a higher regard than PED's in my opinion.

I HIGHLY doubt the guy lasts past the 2nd round like Jenkins did last year. A team will take a chance on him and probably gain a great player at a low cost. It wouldn't surprise me to see him be one of the premier nickel corners in the league relatively quickly.

[Warhorse]

Yes, I would like to see him selected in the third, but he'll be gone in the second or high third.

    :clap:

No thumbs down he is too small for the nfl he may prove me wrong but idk

Blake Griffin?

[ponyboy]

Only if they trade down from #24 and end up with a 2nd round and 2 3rd round picks, then I would consider using one of the third round picks. I could see SF taking a chance on him in the 2nd or 3rd.

[MrNLM]

Blake Griffin?

Tyrann(football)

 

Griffin(basketball)

[Mitch]

Yes, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[PrincetonTiger]

yes

[CjMcGirt23]

Without hesitation.

its not that he smoked weed, its he smoked weed after having been in trouble for smoking weed before. how do you think he is going too act after getting paid. no thanks. let the titans or Bengals take him.. maybe the raiders

[NewEra]

No thumbs down he is too small for the nfl he may prove me wrong but idk

That's what I was getting ready to ask. Isn't he a small guy, who's slow? And most likely will have to play what, fs? I'm sure there are many more other safety's to choose from.

[NewColtsFan]

He's like Deion Sanders without the talent.

 

OK....     

 

This has to get more than just a 'like' which I gave you....   this is Laugh Out Loud funny!!    

 

             

[In Luck We Trust]

Depends. Is Trufant there?

that is a sarcastic answer right??? Trufant is projected to be gone in the later part of the first round. 

[tydontlie]

Depends. Is Trufant there?

In the third?? not a chance.

[Qwiz]

He'll be gone before the third.

[In Luck We Trust]

san fran just signed Ndami im not going to try to spell his last name lol, but who knows

[Nobody]

Maybe

Yep he is small I just think the nfl will be alot different then college for him not to mention the full season off

[In Luck We Trust]

I wouldnt draft Mathieu with the 3rd round pick, he should still be available in the 4th maybe even the 6th. if we draft a DB in the first round then i say no on Mathieu. but Mathieu could help our special teams and keep us from having to use Hilton and risking injury with him.
