I say Manti Te'o, because his confidence appears to be shot and that's after not having been thrown off his team.

Manti Te'o because he isn't as good at playing football.

Teo is more likely to be an average starter who gives you 7-8 years in the middle. Tyrann will be boom or bust, big playmaker or smoked out of the league

Te'o because you won't pick TM7 as high and he can be used in more situations.

I'd go Honey Badger.

Kid couldn't focus in a "controlled" environment at LSU. How the hell does anyone expect him to stay out of trouble with hundred dolla bills in his back pocket.

TM. At least he might be able to pass a drug test.

If he really runs a 4.8 40 yard dash then Te'o will not be an every down linebacker in the NFL. He will basically become a backup linebacker or 2 down linebacker. TM has way more upside but is way more risky. You can hope to get TM late in the draft but odds are someone will take the risk and pick him before you if your a GM/ HC.

Te'o if somebody wastes a 1st on him. As a middle to late second rounder he will be much less risky.

TM7- Low risk as a 4th rounder anything higher than a mid 3rd might be a shot worth taking for a team with several compensation picks(ex. Balt).

Rob Ninkovich ran a 4.79, he can cover, rush the passer, and set the edge.

Sean Lee ran a 4.72

Would love to know what a guy like Chris Spielman's combine numbers were (if it even existed then). "ZOMG, he ran a 4.8 so he is a bust" seems ridic.

Manti. 1 good season out of 4. Mathieu seems to be a better value.
