    Manti Teo

    Is he the best player available in the 2013 NFL Draft?

    Will his college success translate into NFL greatness?

    Will the lottery team that is going to be picking him regret it?

    Thoughts on Manti Teo.

    Pretty sure he'll be a good linebacker in the NFL. There really isn't any reason to believe he wont be. He has the size (6'2'') and the weight (255 lbs) that NFL teams look for. I'm not sure of his speed, but I'm assuming it's good enough.

    If he would have left after his junior season, he was a mid-late first round pick. He should go inside the Top 15 this year, and in my opinion, he's a Top 10 player. I could see him ending up with Buffalo in that #6-10 range.

    I actually think the Raiders take him with the #3 pick. They are going to cut Rolando McClain and need his replacement. Can't do much better than the best MLB in the draft.

    they would be idiots to take him that high, but then again its the raiders. i think he is an average line backer at best. maybe not even that.

    hes very slow exactly, most of the top line backers drafted in the first round even mlb are very fast. i just dont get it why people love him so much. there are much better lb's out there if a team needs one, imo the raiders need help on the o-line

    In my opinion, Best player coming out right now. Manziel and Klein are both future Tebow's. Everyone knows that. Nobody else really worth talking about to be honest.

    Kid has a knack for being around the ball. Think he'll have a similar career to Tedy Bruschi.

    Problem with Jones is he is known to take plays off. He has a tendency to laziness at times and this is his biggest issue.

    Manti has a motor that never stops. Plus when he goes to hit, he goes to knock you out. You don't earn the nickname "The Terminator" for no reason.

    Well, let's be honest. The Raiders are a team that needs everything.

    not much talent compared to drafts of previous years and I think because of this he will be a top 10 pick. Realistically though as stated considering his speed I think he should be a late first round pick.

    Is that a bad thing? The only chance Tebow has had he took a 1-5 team to the playoffs and won his first round game. If I were a bills, Vikings, jags, cardinals, jets, or dolphins fan, I would 100% want my team to take a shot at Tebow. It's not pretty but the dude is a winner.
