Before the suspension and rehab I had TM at 21:

Matt Barkley Star Lotulelei Robert Woods Sam Montgomery Tyler Wilson Barkevious Mingo Jarvis Jones Keenan Allen David Amerson Justin Gilbert (Jr.) Johnathan Hankins Justin Hunter Jackson Jeffcoat Eric Reid Xavier Rhodes Logan Thomas Marcus Lattimore Chris Faulk Andre Ellington Barrett Jones Tyrann Mathieu

 

Now DraftTek Top 100 doesn't include the Honey Bad.

Yeah, because everybody plays at their 19yr old weight 8 years into their NFL career...

His size isn't his biggest detraction, it's his cover ability. He has a weird knack for stripping the ball, recovering it, then using his athletic ability to make something happen but draft experts don't think he's an NFL CB. Maybe FS, but how high do you want to draft one?

The size part doesn't scare me too much because corners have traditionally been a bit on the shorter side. McGee is only 5'9" too.

 

I don't know how big Finnegan is, but that's who he reminds me of. Tough, physical guy not afraid to get into guys faces.

 

finnegan has atleast 20lbs on honey badger. thats a big deal.

 

tyranns listed weight is 175, and from what i hear that is on the generous side.

Yup, not debating his cover ability because I don't really know anything of it. I only watch LSU maybe twice a year.

 

The size argument doesn't hold weight w/ me because he's such a young guy.

its true, mayhem maybin can fluctuate 20 lbs any given day.

hes definitely not an "island" type of coverage guy. hes a risk taker that makes the highlight plays.

 

thats not to say hes a disaster in coverage, but hes not someone thats going to be considered a lock down corner.

WTF are you talking about? First of all he's 20. He was heading into his Junior year at LSU, so he should weigh more. Patrick Peterson is only 2 years older and outweighs him by almost 40 lbs. There are FRESHMAN on the LSU roster that weigh about 175-180 at CB. Most of their junior and senior CBs weigh about 185-190. So I don't know what you're talking about. As a Junior, he weighs as much as every Freshman in the secondary. Just looking through their roster, they have a Freshman CB Jalen Mills who is 185 lbs as a freshman. Jalen Collins is a 195 lb Freshman at CB. Tharold Simon is a JUNIOR CB and he weighs 193 lbs.

 

So your theory about age and weight has been debunked. I don't care how old he is. He needs to bulk up.

Freaking Maybin. He's not right.

 

As for Tyrann, he's a 20yr old guy and Finnegan is 28, I just think he'll naturally fill out and make up the weight.

 

I'm just making the comparison of their nastiness. Weight wasn't something I figured on debating.

I've already proved you wrong so you can stop your crying. Weight is a major factor as to why he's not a top 10 pick and more of a late first round pick.

You're useless talking to. I could care less how much other players on the roster weigh. I never alluded to them.

 

You seem to make every comment/argument personal so I'm not going to debate you on a person's weight. You should probably relax. I don't know what theory I have perpetuated but I'm glad you have had something to "debunk."

Fair enough. I am sure he will make up some of the weight, but its a pretty big gap still. its one thing to be a scrapper, but he will have to bump up from chihuahua to something that will hold up to a 16+ game beating. theres undersized (guys like finnegan) and then theres guys that are undersized for being categorized as undersized (TyM). he will have to stock up some and hopefully hold his speed.

 

he sure is fun to watch though, and i wish him the best. i just dont think his frame and coverage skills (not even mentioning baggage) put him in the top 5-10 picks ever. could still be a player but i dont think hes top 5, prototype cb, material.

That's a great rebuttal. If you could care less, why'd you even bother to argue with what i said? If you're not going to back yourself up, don't say anything at all. You just don't care now because I proved you wrong. You brought up the whole age/weight argument. So you brought it up. You compared Finnegan to being 28 and Tyrann to being 20.

F'n idiot. I hope he gets his head on straight, but maybe it was football giving him purpose. More then likely, it was football giving him the leeway he needed and covering up his mischief.

 

I'd bet he's gotten caught dozens of times but now the police actually bring him in.

arrested for smoking weed in a big college town? wow.

 

A) very common

B) arrested for ruining a national championship season while happening to carry weed, if I had to guess

 

Kids dumb. Trouble follows him and he's running thin on free passes. Being with Jordan Jefferson being an prime example of this poor judgement.
