Manti Te'o at 46?


Recommended Posts

Not sure he will fall but if he did and we got our WR at 41 like Woods or Hunter.

 

Thoughts?

I'll have some of what you are smoking. It must be good schitt. Fall to us???? Te'o will not even be drafted tonight and might not be drafted at all.

I'm cool with that just as long as we grab his girlfriend with the 7th we picked up from the Rams.

about as worthwhile as the one spent on the kicker... or the one spent on T-Jax... or the one spent on moving up 2 spots for TJ,

 

i think Te'o goes 45 to Oakland and we needn't worry. but i would not have a HUGE problem with it if the WRs and CB i want are gone.

Icons don't work on IPad, so LOL!

 

'girlfriend' notwithstanding, I don't want him near the Ralph! -Except on the opposing team. 'Bama exposed him and his fraud team.

 

I don't know that he WON'T be drafted, ala Promo, but I don't think any team thinks he's an answer to their LB concerns.

im not saying we should draft him but you guys are nuts - one terrible game (on the biggest stage) and hes not even going to be drafted??? lol

 

the guy has a solid, solid body of work - played damn good against MANY MANY QUALITY teams (for just one example, check out youtube clips of him playing Stanford - with three NFL lineman on that line) and watch him murder people all game long

 

Dude can play, period....

 

but id rather not have the bills draft him in the 2nd round with our other needs

Dude, you have to learn the difference between having a bad day and getting run off the field. You say the dude can play? Against lesser talent, maybe. It doesn't get easier in the NFL.

Pros: has run a very complex defense, in charge of audibles etc... Hard worker.... Generally good instincts.

 

Con: a step slow

 

Doesn't matter but will fill pages on this discussion: GF story

 

 

I'd be fine at 46 depending on how the round falls. He would be in my first 15-20 available and with a fit on our roster.

Saban has done it to many a good player. They had 6 weeks between games, and some distractions. Saban has absolutely dominated after those layoffs and ND was especially long without a conference championship. It'd be like the niners and ravens stopping play mid December before a championship in February.... It's a terrible setup if you ask me but its the NCAA.

 

There are reasons to include the body of work along with that game instead of just that one game

Te'o rep is more a function of the ND hype machine than actual performance. He had some decent games against middling opponents. Big stage, title game? He looked like how I would look like on that field. Red flag with flashing neon arrows.

The entirety of ND was exposed. How can Te'o be expected to do anything when he is getting absolutely zero help from the dline or other lbs?

 

Competition gets harder in the NFL, but he will actually have competent teammates as well.

 

I would have hated him anywhere in RD 1, but I'd be happy with him as our 2nd rd 2 pick, or in rd 3.

Except no one double teamed him. In fact he got wiped out one-on-one. If the guy was really all that he'd have made some plays instead of getting used like a sweat rag.

 

Here's an excellent video showing every Te'o play in that game. Point out where gets double teamed...

Maybe Te'o doesn't exist at all. Have any of you met him in person? I've only read about him on the Internet and when I told him to meet me he didn't show up. I heard he was a LB for ND but when I watched their game vs Alabama I didn't see him. Their RB's ran right up the middle all night and there was no one there to stop them. I think we are all getting catfished!!!

In fairness, Alabama had basically a NFL line. 2 first round picks and another guy who will be drafted soon. It was boys vs. men.

We shall see won't we. I'll be here to receive my abuse if I'm wrong. But note I said he MIGHT not get drafted at all, but he WON'T be drafted today, so do I get any credit if I'm right about that?

So why draft him if an NFL line stops him?

Show me a guy at 46 without uneven play or question marks and ill show you a guy you never watched. He played awful that day- the whole team was, but he flat missed some reads and tackles he had to make. Not trying to excuse or forget those. To only look at one game is ridiculous though. He's a second tier inside linebacker and depending on how the round falls if he goes at 46 he might be the 3rd or 4th ILB taken this draft even

 

Just as much as his hype was ND, the hate likewise is. Truth is he's a reliable kid with a good head for the game and middle of the pack athleticism that can hold him back.

Take It For What Its Worth. I Sat In A Chalk Talk Room And Listened To Merril Hoge Slam This Guy.

 

Oh, the guy that demanded we cut Stevie and said it was a huge mistake to let him even travel with the team after the jets penalty. He's reasonable in his opinions!

I meant his d line got bullied. Hard to be a good LB when you are always engaged. He had a very poor game no doubt and had maybe the worst offseason of any prospect. But he still had plenty of good moments too.

No thanks on Te'o...I just feel there will be better prospects available at that time...Keep in mind I've felt Manti's value started in Round 3 all along...

 

And I like the idea of Woods or Hunter at #41...But don't sleep on Keenan Allen if he slides...He's a legit WR prospect... B-)

Look at the video I posted earlier in this thread. Every play he was on the field in 8 minutes.

Yes, you'll get some credit if he's not drafted today. I think you're wrong.

 

And no LB that can be blocked by an OL should be drafted?

Actually, he had numerous outstanding games against very good opponents throughout his career.

PTR's overt hatred for ND isn't hype.

In our defense we played like garbage that entire game.

He'll obviously be picked tonight, he is just trolling you guys.

 

Te'o didn't make an impact in the BCS Championship, but the entire team was outclassed. Frankly, from the video and watching every play that was posted, I came out of that thinking that he played better than I've heard reported. That defense as a unit played like garbage.

 

He was a Heisman contender for a reason - sure he played some amazing games against weak competition and some amazing games against good competition, some average ones, and an inopportune poor one.

 

I don't think the Bills should draft him, but he's going to be picked tonight and most people denigrate him now because of the whole catfish situation and the strong suspicion that he's homosexual.

NO. Most overrated, overhyped player in the history of the NFL draft

I think that's a bit extreme. More so than Jemarcus Russell? How about Denver trading all of their picks to get Tebow? Those are just a couple of examples in the past few years
