Will the Steelers draft...

[steelz09]

Te'o in the 1st round?

With the way he's getting dominated by Alabama, we might be able to get him in the 2nd.

T'eo is getting pushed around like a ragdoll. Welcome to playing the "big boys"

Chance Warmack on the other hand in manhandling ND players. On the first TD it appeared he blocked two players at the same time.

[steelz09]

Yup.. and he's looked bad in pass coverage. That last TD was clearly Te'o's fault. He got sucked in by the playaction and left the TE wide open.

He almost reminds me of Foote, lol.

T'eo was a feel good story due to tragedy and being on MD. Pitt ran around him and Bama is running through him. He should NE available late in the first but why would we want him?

Honestly, after watching Te'o color me unimpressed. I would rather grab Zack Boren in the 5th...a guy with enough strength to sort through trash, and enough speed to go sideline to sideline.

I wonder if Te'o realizes that he lost millions of dollars in a matter of 15 minutes.

Seriously? After 1 quarter of football? Wow..you guys are a tough crowd.

I'd still take him in a heart beat. I understand that a players value isn't based on his performance in just one game.

Im sure his agent will let him know after the game.

i don't know Dee...something to be said about how a player shows up in the biggest game of his life, against NFL talent.

NFL teams and scouts will look at his complete body of work. Put me down as one who thinks he will be a great player in the NFL. And this game tonight will have nothing to do with it one way or the other.

[steelz09]

Don't get me wrong.. I like Te'o.

You have to put things into perspective though. He's playing against a very good Alabama team that has numerous NFL prospects. You would expect a Heisman candidate & top 5 / top 10 pick to make an impact. In fact, he's making a NEGATIVE impact right now. That is not what you want from a top 5 / top 10 pick.

What about after 4? What if he continues to get ragged dolled and man handled by that OL? It doesn't mean anything? Just a fluke?

and I'm not saying that a scout shouldn't. Just saying this game means something about his stock. It's going to take a hit...and rightfully so. I bet he is there for the Steelers when we pick.

You do realize that his "body of work" isn't against a team like Alabama which is as close to the NFL in college as you can get. If this is any indication of his play against NFL talent then you've got to be worried.

I agree. It will definitely hurt his stock.
