Depends on where you take each

If Teo is picked in the 1st, its him.

This.

TM7 isn't as big of a risk in the 3rd round as Teo in the 1st.

Lets say Te'o in the 2nd, TM7 in 3-4

I can't wait to watch a team draft Teo in the 1st round.

I swear to god it better not be the saints though. I wish the Falcons would.

I wouldn't bother with either.

Wash

I would rather TM7 in that scenario though. Teo is going to be average at best IMO and TM7 might win you a couple games with turnovers or returns.

Te'o because he is going to be drafted higher which is riskier

I'd pick TM7 10 times out of 10 before even thinking about Teo

I think Mathieu is going to be star if he can stay away from the drugs. What is risky about Te'o though? Are you scared he's catfished again?

Yeah that's kinda my thought. TM7's celing is higher. But, Te'o's risk is largely overblown. I mean both layers had shitty championship performances against Alabama.

That he's not very good, and his stats are illusory.

Te'o.

There won't be much expected out of TM7, especially since he'll likely much later in the draft.

I'd take TM7 all day. Te'o will be to big of a locker room distraction for a player that doesn't really produce. All he really ever did was intercept tipped passes.

yep


And TM7 will go higher than people think. Not "much later in the draft" like Billy Mays just said.

I bet Teo and TM7 are both 2nd rounders, but Teo might be a late 1st rounder.

Again that depends on where he goes.

If the Saints draft him, he will be expected to be the 3rd and 4th coming of Christ.

This Saints fan disagrees, but I'm probably in the minority. For TM7's sake I hope the Saints don't draft him. That would be the equivalent of Decauter, AL getting an expansion team and picking up Rolando McClain.
