Tyran Matheiu Entering Draft

How far do you think this guy will fall? In which round would you draft him, if at all?

I would take him in the 3rd

8th round. He's toxic.

No head cases.

A desperate team may take him, but I think he'll be a free agent.

He'd be a good fit in Cincy.

He's got Cowboy written all over him. He'll make two plays a year and the talking heads at ESPN, FOX, & NBC will gush over how wonderful he is.

:roll:

There is no way he doesn't get drafted. I bet he doesn't make it past the 4th round.

I'd have to interview the guy before I could figure out whether I'd be willing to take a chance on him. But I'd probably be more conservative than other NFL coaches/GMs in making the call, so I bet he wouldn't fall to the point where I'd be comfortable drafting him (4th or later at best).

I've seen about 85% of his games and I'll give you that he is a big play kid, but his cover skills are not nearly as good as his "football knack" is. He's worth a risk SO LONG AS he passes all other tests (interview, background and football shape (he has been out of football for a year), I'd think about him right at 4th round. There the risk is worth the reward, in my opinion.

Janoris Jenkins turned out okay so far. Mathieu is said to be worse as far as off the field issues go.

I think someone will draft him especially since Janoris turned out ok. Another coach or GM will think they could turn it around as well. 3rd or fourth round.

I would consider continuing with the trade down philosophy and taking him with an extra pick aquired via a trade. Maybe a 4th. But I think he'll be gone by then.

Well apparently we've been speaking with him, along with the Jets....

Maybe Trent and Fred can sort him out and talk some sense into him, what he stands to lose, etc.

Or then again maybe he'd drag them down to his level and get them smoking crack!!!!

:shock:

With the cap penalty, and our RGIII trade, we will have to take some calculated risks to improve this roster. I think the risk/reward evaluation favors drafting Matheiu.

I'd take him without hesitation.

Man I hate to sound so negative, but this would be the only scenario I'd be 100% comfortable with signing him.

If there's nothing but crap out there once our turn comes up and he's on the list, I'd take that too.

I do love his playing ability but its slim pickings for us this year....why waste it on someone so risky?

I'd be careful with that though. Seems the article also indicated that he's been talking to many other teams as well. He sounds like a spam email going out to every team. Not that I blame him.

Its wise none the less that we are talking to him...hopefully our guys are extremely discerning to decipher if he's truly had a change of heart. People act out based upon what is in their heart. Behavior changes are temporary and relapse is inevitable if there hasn't truly been a changed heart.
