Re: I still want this to happen, I want another Middle Linebacker
I could care less if Te'o is there or not, I would never consider Te'o at 32, the guy is a throw back and has been highly overrated since day 1 because he plays at ND. I rank Kevin Minter, Alex Ogletree, Arthur Brown, and Sio Moore higher than this guy. I just don't see the difference between Te'o and a guy like AJ Klein or Jon Bostic who have 3rd-4th round projections. I could be totally wrong about him, but I don't see the value at all at 32.
He isn't as good as last years run thumping ILB prospect Donta Hightower who didn't get as much publicity as Te'o had even before the scandal. Frankly, what the media have done with this kid is garbage, he should have never had that much hype before the scandal, and he should have never had that much critique when the scandal came out either.

Re: I still want this to happen, I want another Middle Linebacker
We'll agree to disagree.
I see a lot of the same reckless hitting that I saw in Pollard and frankly, I think they are similar in run support.
Now I do agree that he is probably better than Pollard in coverage, but I still don't want him out there playing WR's man to man.
I also agree that I think he is going to be picked before the 4th.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Oh don't get me wrong, he is the same physical type of player that Pollard is. But could you ever see Pollard being asked to play corner because of injuries? It would be like asking Novoro Bowman to play corner. DJ Swearinger is like 5'10 and 208 lbs, Pollard is around 6'1 and is close to 230.
