I guess I wouldn't know, I never have long term "relationships" with people I've never met and then lie about it repeatedly to cover it up. I know the kid was more than likely being blackmailed, but he should never have put himself in that position. It's that lack of judgment that is a red flag for me as to his draft stock.Quote:

MLB'ers being limited is what makes them traditionally second round picks, even the best ones.
Please stop comparing Te'o to Lewis. Not a good comparison. Ray Lewis had a rare amount of fire in his belly even as a college player. All Te'o has is catfish.
I would compare Minter more favorably to Lewis than Te'o. Minter excelled against the best competition in the land. Doesn't make him a first rounder either.
We are all entitled to one's opinions, however, I think you are wrong BigRob. We'll see who is right in say, 2014 or heck maybe even this coming fall...:)
Alec Ogletree
I like Ogletree but if I were an opposing team with Olgetree and Timmons in the middle, I'd just run right at them all day long.Quote:

ogletree is strong against the run.Quote:

12) Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame: Te'o finished his senior season with 113 tackles and seven interceptions (that latter number is unheard of for a linebacker). He did not play well in the BCS Championship Game, but everything he's done in his career at Notre Dame overrides that.

Laterally yes but at the point of attack, no.Quote:
