Will Te'o really be drafted before Kevin Minter?

Every single McShay and Kiper mock has Te'o not only amazingly going in the first round but being picked ahead of Minter. I just can't see how NFL GMs could be that dumb. Minter's only drawbacks (height and speed) are shared by Te'o. Minter was significantly MORE productive while playing against much stiffer competition.
Against their only common opponent, Minter plays well vs Alabama and Te'o dives face first in the dirt on purpose in fear of being run over by Eddie Lacey. Bama had 166 yards rushing and 21 points vs LSU and 265 yards rushing and 42 points vs ND.
Stats on the year:
Tackles
Minter 130
Te'o 113
TFL
Minter 15
Te'o 5.5
Sacks
Minter 4
Teo 1.5
Teo did have 7 INTs but anyone who has seen his highlights knows that they were all either thrown in his gut by horrid QBs or tipped 25 feet high by someone else.

This sounds subjective

Who will be dumb enough to throw any their first round pick on Te'o?

Te'o will be the John Mobley of Kevin Minter's career.

Te'o and Ogletree both. Not saying that's what should happen as I think Te'o is a joke, but NFL GMs know better than I.

According to Mayock, several teams have Minter ranked ahead of Te'o.
The Vikings seem to be enamored with Te'o, so I'll guess he won't last past 25.
It's no indication who the better player is, it's just some organizations fall in love with a certain guy.

Not to mentioned that Teo actually wants people to believe that he is dumb (not gay). Other than that along with everything else you've said, he is the type of guy to build your defense around.

Minter and Patrick Willis are the same height.

I dont think so but I think they could be drafted close together. I wouldnt be surprised if both fell out of the 1st rd though

As long as Manti Te'o doesn't fall to the Denver Broncos, I don't care where he goes.
