Draft talk rounds 2-3

For all you Honey Badger Lovers:

Tyrann Mathieu, DB, LSU:
49ers (PRI)
Bengals (PRI)
Bills (PRI)
Browns (PRI)
Buccaneers% (PRI) (COM)
Cardinals (PRI)
Dolphins (PRI)
Falcons (PRI)
Patriots (PRI)
Raiders (PRI)
Redskins (COM)
Seahawks (PRI)
Texans (PRI)
Vikings (PRI)

PRI means Private workout. COM means met at the Combine. % means that a team has met with Mathieu more than once. Now keep this in mind:

The Bucs just got Revis, so I don't think they'll agressively pursue Mathieu today.
The Texans and Seahawks got their meetings blown off by Mathieu, per Jay Glazer. So I'd cross them off to. The Raiders just drafted DJ Hayden, so I don't think they'll go for Mathieu in round 2.

The Cardinals and 49ers beat reporters both said today that Tyrann is on their teams radars and that both teams are high on him. The Vikings just drafted Xavier Rhodes, but he's no NB like Tyrann. Leslie Frazier just dealt with a headcase like Harvin and got rid of him, but the flip side is he just lost Winfield and needs to replace a playmaker with a playmaker. Good news is the vikings don't pick before us (yet, atleast). The Cardinals pick before us, but there will be a QB run, and I'm sure they'll jump to get one now instead of picking Tyrann at 38.

The Falcons, they just got Trufant for a lot of picks, and they need a TE. I see them getting Escobar, Ertz or Kelce in round 2.

49ers-could definitely happen at the end of round 2, especially since they have so many picks.
Bengals-I don't expect it till their 2nd 2nd round pick, which means we're golden for our 2nd round pick to get him.
Bills (PRI)- they need a lot of stuff, they're a threat to take him before us at 46.
Browns (PRI)- They don't have a 2nd round pick, but the 3rd rounder is where they may get him.
Buccaneers% (PRI) (COM)- Again, I don't see it since they have Revis now and they have so many other needs.
Cardinals (PRI)- Definitely could happen with their 3rd rounder, but with the QB run I expect in the 2nd, I expect them to take one.
Dolphins (PRI)- they pick after us, the pick could end up being traded for brandon albert, but again they could pick Tyrann in the 3rd.
Falcons (PRI)- don't see it happening with the addition of trufant. They're more of a 3rd round possibility.
Patriots (PRI)- could definitely see this happening in the 2nd, but they supposedly really like the WRs, specifically Woods.
Raiders (PRI)- unlikely now that Hayden was picked, but with this looney franchise, you never know. I say 3rd round at best if they did get him.
Redskins (COM)- he'll be there for us; do we take him or see how serious other teams were about getting him in the 3rd round or late 2nd.
Seahawks (PRI)- Not happening now that he blew them off, and that they already have a loaded secondary.
Texans (PRI)- He blew them off as well; unlikely to happen.
Vikings (PRI)- They don't pick until round 4, by then, he'll be gone.

Come on Honey badger!! Actually I think he'll be gone before we pick so I'm sticking with a WR. But I'd rather go DB

I think taking Homey Badger in the 2nd round might be a little bit of a reach. If he's there in the 3rd round then fine, but with all his issues, plus sitting out for a year = 3rd round grade.

I'd be happy if the Horny Badger never sees the inside of our locker room, so I hope we draft him in the 8th round.

I am now hoping for the first three picks to go like this...

Round2 DJ Swearinger
Round3 Tyrann Mathieu
Round4 Da'Rick Rogers

I know there alot of head cases here, but I believe in our coaches and the attitude at Redskins Park right now.

He smoked some weed, big deal. A lot of guys just need to grow up and he probably learned his lesson. I don't think we should take him in the 2nd round but the 3rd round would be ideal. Doubt he lasts that long though..

Shanahan just said last week that they won't take risks on character concerns. I think Honey Badger brings way too much baggage. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin a good thing.

^ This is the same guy who took Maurice Clarrett. I don't put too much stock in Shanahan pressers.

To some, it is a big deal to use illegal drugs.

I agree, with his risks, we should let him slide to the 3rd Round to we don't lose as much if he can't grow up.

Yeah but his track record so far with the Skins says he puts a premium on character guys. Sure you gamble and lose sometimes, but for the most part he's been true to his word.

If he or I'll even say Te'o are availble, we need to take them. Talent-wise, they're elite. Otherwise, they're a gamble but I say take the risk.

Te'o will have to put up with a year of taunting fans and idiotic media coverage, but long-term, he'll have a solid career. He could be a great Fletcher replacement in the middle of the D.

I told my wife who doesn't follow football about Te'o and his fake dead girlfriend and she said "That kid is bat shit crazy! I wouldn't draft him". I understand why she (and others) would feel that way about drafting him but I still rank him as the #1 ILB in this draft.
