Manti Te'o

Hell no

 

His brains and Timmons athleticism would make for a deadly combo.

 

To be honest i think ND played overrated competion, and when they played a couple of legit teams, he failed to sho up. also the media made him a bigger deal than what he was,... Hell from what i here there where not that many teams rep at his proday, . Also i still believe he was in on that lil scam this past year , there is no way someone is that (nieve)? And if he is i dont want them on my team.. That being said if the Steelers draft him, there is nothing i can do but support the team..

 

I would take him. I think he played pretty good last year regardless of the Alabama game. The entire Norte Dame team sucked that game.
As far as the hoax, I'm not sure which way it went. Was he part of it or not. But If he wasn't, I'm pretty sure everyone at one time got duked my some scam. Either by a woman sometime in your life, used car salesman, or Publisher's Clearing House. All I know is what is on tape, and the guy can play.

And give Keith Butler a year with him he will be another Kendrell Bell minus the injuries.

 

No thank you

 

Bell and him are totally different. Bell just attacked never had to read the offense just attack. I believeonce he was asked to read and react he couldn't do it.

 

Hell no even if he ran a 4.3 I wouldn't want him part of the Notre Dame hype he's overrated. If you can't tackle backs from Bama or get off blocks the same thing will happen to you in the NFL.

 

I'd gladly take him...in the second round.

 

I haven't been much of a believer in him. Personally I watched a bunch of MWC, BIG 12 and Pac 10 football this season and think if they say he is in the 17-21 range that isn't good value. Look at Teo, then look at a few guys very very similar in skills that probably will go 3rd and beyond. AJ Kline from Iowa ST is a dude that I think is better, Kiko Alonso from Oregon is really good. Alabama's Johnson a tough dude. Those 3 being picked later in draft for basically the same player minus the ND PR machine that over valued Teo in the first place. I hope Steelers don't let me down by drafting him...... that would seriously SUCK

 

I'm open to it, but not in round 1 at #17. I think thats a little bit of a reach.

 

I never moved him out of the second half of round one....I would rather take Rolando McClain...and then not have to draft a ILB early...but I would take Te'o in a heartbeat.


HACK

 

if they like teo ( i would prefer a more impact player) they will take him , i'm pretty sure he will be available

 

No Thanks.

 

Some guys are funny. I don't like ND as much as the next person, but to talk about them as being overhyped, or that their opponents were not very good? They played Stanford, Michigan, Oklahoma, USC, Miami, and Michigan State. All those teams had decent, and a few "great" seasons. Plus, they are traditionally good teams, and it's not ND's fault they have an off year or not.

Heck, #17 may be a tad high, but I bet he'll be a very good to excellent pro linebacker......

 

Would you take him at 17? I could maybe buy into taking him in the first IF we trade down and pick up an extra draft pick or two in the process.

 

agree ogletree is the only one i could think to pick at 17 , teo seems to me another maulauga , anyway i would like a more game changer at 17

 

i think the ILB position is as weak as it's ever been this year.
