Would you take a shot on Tyrann Mathieu in the late rounds? (2 Viewers)

I'd take him in the 4th or 5th and play him at FS. Let him ball hawk all day!

Hell yeah I like the Honey Badger!

He seems too risky, but I maybe would take a chance. He's definitely a "role" type player. Ligned up in various places in the secondary to create confusion. Nose for the ball, and a solid blitzer. I could see someone to take him as a SS. I just don't see him matching up as a corner.

If he is there after the 3rd round I would not mind picking him up.

With how we need help on defense we would be stupid not to

I can't tell if he's more trouble than what he's worth; or worth more than his trouble.

does mat ryan choke in big games

I had to vote no, just for the temptation of being so close to home. besides, I can see him being drafted in the mid rounds or not at all; much like legarrette blount. I wouldn't even be surprised to see him go as high as a late 2nd. only thing he lacks are good cover skills (Peterson suffered the same fate his rookie season, but this year he was fantastic). though he adjusts rather well due to his speed and ball-hawk skills.

Id take him in the 4th. Run or pass, put him in the box at nickel S, between Cam and say an SOLB like Anthony Spencer, Junior, Mingo, Jarvis Jones, Okafor, or Dion Jordan, to shoot gaps and blitz. He WILL make plays and force the O to account for him! Then drop him off and let others blitz. The O wont have a clue.

The question is: Would Rob Ryan push to get him in the 4th round or so if he is still available? Does Mathieu have the skill set to be productive in Rob Ryan's scheme? I think he does.

 

[Kurgan]

The boy is a playmaker, and we have NONE on our D. So, yes, i'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Saints & Devils]

My guess is that the Patriots put every effort towards grabbing him in the 3rd, if not the 2nd, to get a wildman of a football player and give him the discipline4d environment he, may yet, need.

Despite missing out on a talent like that, I for one would just be happy to see him in a place where it can put it together and keep it together for the world to see his play-making ability, even if its not with us.

I think Rob Ryan may be one of the only DCs that would know how to use him properly. We would need a larger corner to offset his size. I could see us playing close to the line and playing coverages underneath. He's definitely not a FS that can run the entire center of the field. Not in the NFL. He's like a Harper that can catch.
