No thank you.. He sucks...after his performance in the National Championship game he officially went from the "Honey Badger" to the "Golden Torch" considering how bad and how often he was burnt to a crisp downfield in that debacle vs. Alabama.

If Mayock believes he isn't going to test well at the combine then he isn't going in the 4th round. You already have concerns on top of mediocre combine tests and there will be a lot of teams that pass on him in the 4th.

I think he's less draftable than Vontaze Burfict was last year. I wouldn't touch him before the 6th round.

As intruiging a player as tyrann is, I'm not willing to take a flyer on him before round 5. If Al Davis was alive, I could see the raiders going after him in the 3rd round or so, and the Jets could take him higher than round 4 if they decide to stick with media friendly players rather than getting back to football basics.

It's not so much that I think Tyrann isn't cut out for the NFL, because I think he will see time in the league, I just think he is a niché player who isn't going to amount to a starter other than as a returner. He has the possibility of developing into a decent player, but I feel like be is much less mature than he could be, and could have used more time in college (though it was cut short for reasons we all know about). All players have their high points and low points, but the longer a guy spends in college, the better sample you get of how a guy will turn out. Mathieu's resume, while pretty good, is not as long as most, and he has had some very very bad games. Those bad games can really paint a sour picture of how his professional career could fare.

Any player who gets drafted, or who doesn't get drafted, could be the next Tom Brady or the next Todd Marinovich. I'm not going to come out and say Mathieu will be the former, the latter, or anywhere in between. I will say that while he has some impressive highlights, he is still risky at this point, and too risky for our tastes or needs right now. If he is still around in the later rounds when it's already a crap shoot, heck yea, lets go for him, but before that, I'd rather focus on prospects that are less of a gamble.

I think he could be a gem for us in say the 5th round. He's a great scheme fit here and I feel like Leslie Frazier would be the perfect coach for him, great motivator and great with players. I'd love it if we took a chance but no earlier then the 4th round.

I would love to see Mathieu on the Vikings. I think he is just one of those playmakers that people will look back upon and wonder how he could have fallen as far in the draft as he most likely will. However I understand I could be wrong about him. Anyways I wouldn't mind considering him in the 3rd depending upon how the draft plays out. There are obviously a lot of guys I would take before him but like I said it depends how the draft plays out. If he is available with our late 4th round pick I believe he would be a great selection from that point on.

Referring to himself in the third person during his interview completely turned me off to the kid.

Personal pet peeve of mine.
