I don't see Teo being any better than Ray Maualuga who was picked in the second round and was the #38 pick overall.

That being said, I think he gets overdrafted like Clausen, Tate, Quinn and Zbikowski.

Does the MSB think he goes in the top 10 or is he left in the green room like Clausen was?

Does he deserve to go top 10? If not where do you think he deserves to go?

What does the MSB think he do in the NFL?

Yes, top 10.

But Jarvis Jones and Moore of a&m both go before him

Yes, goes top ten, but does not deserve first round.

He will be like a Marcus Spears in the NFL at best!

3/4 round talent, but we'll get drafted on the first day.

Hey, a serviceable LB at best, but nothing special and certainly not an every down player imo, but if so, he will be just average.

Let's revisit this in 4 years.

he was a 1st round lock at this time before he was drafted. pulled a hammy or something running his 40 at the combine hurt his stock IIRC. he'll get overdrafted, sure. but he can be a productive NFL backer...

Wouldn't surprise me to see him like Urlacher in the NFL.... A tackling machine who is above avg in pass defense but doesn't get to QB very often

Combine will cause his draft stock to plummet.

Ran 4.6 in 40 in high school.... I think he matches those he can be a top 5-10 pick

Maualuga ran a 4.8 at the combine, right? If Te'o runs under a 4.7, he will be a top 10 pick. If he runs a 4.7/4.8, he will be a mid to late 1st round pick.

T'eo is the prototypical 3-4 ILB Even if he is slower he'll flourish there

Agreed. But if Te'o runs a 4.8, people on here will have a field day and say how slow that is. Nevermind the fact that it's plenty fast for a 3-4 ILB, particularly with a guy that has his instincts and plays faster than his speed. I think Brandon Spikes ran a 5.0 flat and I think he's doing just fine as a 3-4 ILB.

just a guess, I'd say somewhere between #10- #20 in the first round.

He has a shot at the top ten though. Carolina picked Luke Kuechly at #9 overall in the first round last year.

His ability in pass coverage is pretty damn good. That is huge in the NFL today. Of course it also comes down to team needs also. What teams really need an inside LB?
