Te'O at 17: For or Against?

The biggest positive with Ansah is that he'll be stout against the run, but is easily block during the pass. The Steelers need a pass rusher not another run defender. The Steelers need a defensive player that strikes fear in the offense and I don't see anything in Ansah that shows he can be that player.

No, and I said this before the title game... Analyst can talk about being around the ball all they want but you see how quickly it went from "being around the ball" to "in the right place at the right time." last night? It's because the latter was always true. Intercepting a tipped pass doesn't make you the next Ray Lewis. And Collegiate tackle numbers are never impressive but his weren't even impressive by collegiate standards. The National Title Game just confirmed what I've believed all along. Overrated and media driven hype as they just wanted to have an endurable and likeable defender. The rest I wont say because it's against the ToS.

Excellent post Blaqoptic. What confuses me is Timmons/Foote bashers prefer this guy! Minter is better to me and he will change some minds during combine.

I don't think he'll fall that far.

He's not quite the prospect Keuchly was, so there's the possibility he lasts 8 more spots. (Comparison made just to provide reference where the top rated ILB went last year)

But, I think he will be a very productive pro, especially if he gets to play in a 3-4 system.

If the top flight pass rushers and tackles are all off the board, he makes as much sense as anyone else at 17.

In this class, after a very few prospects, the talent level is essentially equivalent. Discussions like Rhodes vs. Teo vs. Montgomery vs Allen etc. will come down to positional preference as they all essentially fall into the same tier talent wise.

Agree, not a Minter fan. He has some good potentials but one have to say, his ceiling is much lower than Te'o and the inside linebacker positions is getting really thin due to no true separation between one guy to next but if Te'o is gone, I think I'm okay with the idea of having Chase Thomas in 1st round. The talent suggest he is a 1st rounder within right system.
