I know size is a knock on him, but let's be real, his highlight film puts all the top 10 to shame save TR3. Maybe even him as well.

I'm saying top 15

Well he's a known entity now; let's see how he does this year. If he replicates last year, I agree with you.

The draft isn't about what you've done, its about what they think you will do.

Highlight film doesn't mean that much.

That being said, I think he goes top 15 also, but its cause of what people think he will be able to do in NFL.

Impossible to say right now. If his cover skills improve dramatically then could be a 1st round pick. A lot of what he does in college may not translate at the next level because of the speed of the game so his coverage skills will be crucial.

he'll need to run well and have a great year in coverage to think about top 15

as of now, 65-90 pick

If he really improves his coverage skills late 1st or 2nd round.

The thing with Tyrann is he is going to have to use all his ability to be a sort of utility player. He'll never make it as a straight CB, but he may be able to cut it at a nickelback position where he can also blitz and he will have to excel on both sides of special teams (return game and gunner)

You might can even get him involved on offense.

I say he would be a fool to leave after next unless he greatly improves his coverage skills. Even if he does I say late 2nd/3rd round at best. His size will affect his draft status. If he was 6' tall i say he would be 1st round. 2nd round without improved coverage skills

I think he goes second round... Unless he has a BETTER season this year and his coverage skills improve. Then we r lookin at another 1st rounder

His playmaking ability says 1st round, but he will be extremely lucky if he is taken in the 2nd round. Probably middle of the 3rd.

I'm gonna say if Stephon Gilmore can go Top 10, Mathieu does too.

Mathieu is not a lockdown corner, therefore his chance of going in the 1st round is extremely slim. His stature will also hurt him. He'll probably be moved to Safety in the NFL. He's a 3rd Round pick at best.

I say second round.

Looked at a few mocks of 2013 (not including bleacher report) all have him going from 8th to 23rd in the first round.
