Honey Badger

[-AC-]

Tyrann Mathieu is entering the draft (not surprisingly)...

With his many off the field issues where do the experts predict him to go? And where would the people on this board feel comfortable taking him?

I'd feel very good about drafting him (as a fs), as long as it's wth one of our 3rds or lower.

6th round.

You want a 5'6" FS that shies away from contact?

He's not 5'6. Where did you see him listed at 5'6?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Oh he isn't LISTED at 5'6" but look at pictures of him on the field next to 5'11" Morris Claiborne.

He is listed at 5'9"...which he is not.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

There are a bunch f other pics out there that you can google. He is tiny.

 

[Smalls]

He definitely doesn't shy away from contact. How many fumbles did he force?

 

[Kinzu]

Not worth a draft pick.

 

[Dodub]

I would absolutely use a mid round draft pick on hiim

I wouldn't touch him. To many off field issues

 

[yossarian]

i'd rather have honey boo boo on the team, more mature.

 

[Dodub]

You guys are acting like he murdered someone. He's a freaking sophomore in college and smokes weed. It is dumb, but to say you wouldn't touch him because he is immature etc. is premature IMO. Get this guy away his core group of friends and then see how quickly he matures.

I agree. I'm just not sure what round i would draft him in. At least a 5th rounder, for sure.

I might agree with this if it wasn't for the fact he is entering the draft for getting caught with weed again after being kicked off the team for it.

He was not mature enough nor did he care enough to just lay off it to revive his football career at LSU next year. Why should an NFL team think he will not get caught and suspended for weed if they draft him? The clearly has a problem and value's his problem more than his football career.

Factor in that he is an undersized athlete and I just don't see how he is worth a pick.

It's never about weed. It's about the fact that he's stupid enough to not only smoke, but get caught with it (and a bunch of it) AFTER he's already been kicked off LSU.

Just like the drug tests at the combine. It's not about weed or drugs, it's about finding out who's stupid enough to smoke before their interview of a lifetime.

This.

You can say its "only weed" but for this guy its much more. Weed has created a bunch of problems for him and yet he still gets in trouble for it

4th or 5th round maybe as a return specialist.
