    Bama didn't show the world this guy was overrated? Didn't Lacy truck him?

    I cut the boring game off but that's what I heard from folks the next day.

    I was listening to the radio today, and Pat Kerwin said on talent, even without recent events, he thought he would have eventually dropped to second/third rounder status, and his NFL position is Will LB is a 4-3. I believe that by that he means he doesn't believe he can play with an OL on him the way he would inside in a 3-4.

    No, he doesn't address a need and they are more than likely better players available.

    I hate to be the one say it but
    He reminds me of Dat Ngyuen

    He can be a consistant yet mediocre linebacker
    Nothing extraordinarily special from what I have seen
    but servicable
    [Yea. . I know loop him in with the other somoan/asian linebacker]

    Shame on me

    The Texans should target Montee Ball instead.

    I wouldn't mind, if anything it provides more depth at the position, also it is insurance in case we can't resign Cushing or if he is never the same player before injury.

    Granted, I wonder about his intelligence after all this fake girlfriend business regardless of his role as victim or perpetrator but if Te'o is still there and we don't need to draft a safety or a position we need, I'd take him at the end of the first round or second.

    That would be such a wasted pick. We have a lot of holes to fill, but RB is not one of them.

    We need another pass rusher and/or another body who can match up with New England's TEs.

    So yes.

    I don't know what his combine numbers will be, but the kid is a play maker.
