Walter Football mocks T'eo to Bengals @ 21

I think drafting T'eo would be a mistake. If we want a Somoan MLB who is a liabiltiy in pass coverage then we should resign Rey. I would rather take a chance on Ogletree or Arthur Brown.

I think drafting Te'o is too risky. Who IS that kid? He spent his whole college career being the squeaky clean Tebow-like Dudly-Do-Right, only to be exposed as either unbelievably naive (read Stupid), or, worse yet, complicit after-the-fact so as not to ruin his sterling reputation.

He's a weird dude.

I don't think I'd pick him until our late second round pick.

I would, however, look forward to the rookie camp skits where he will be skewered. If you think Big Andre took some grief for running without a shirt on, wait until the rookies break out the inflatables for a Te'o skit.

I guarantee Brain Kelly wanted to keep that spit storm caged until after the national championship. If he told Kelly, Kelly would have advised him to keep it quiet.

If he falls to the early 2nd the comparisons between him and Maualuga are plentiful. But his college numbers are crushing Maualuga's. And he is better in coverage.

I think Maualuga's problems start in his head. If Te'O is mentally broken from his fiasco I would be scared to pick him. But at least he got his national embarrassment out of the way while he was in college. I think Te'O could bounce back.

I would be OK if we took the Heisman finalist LB at 21 if our LBs look the same way they do now when we get to the draft. And if he started to slide I would probably be upset if we don't stop his slide at 37.

He really could just be a young dumb internet kid who is good at football.

Burfict punches his teammates, smokes pot, blows the biggest job interviews of his life at both the combine and his pro day, and doesn't even get to play in the biggest game of his college career because he was suspended...............He is not a head case at all.

Jenkins smokes pot, gets arrested twice for bar fights and even has to be tazed by the police, gets kicked out of the team, fathers a bunch of illegitimate kids.......He is not a head case at all.

T'eo is voted Team Captain by his teammates, never gets into any trouble, falls for an internet prank......He is a head case.

There is just something very wrong with your value system, Brad. I hate to accuse someone of being homophobic, but I honestly can't see any other explanation.

If you will notice I have never mentioned the enotire internet thing because personally I could care less about it.

I have seen some talking about him and Ray Lewis and Ray making his living in between the hashes. Can not argue that because that is how Ray made his name. Unfortunately that NFL is fading fast. That is why Ray dropped the weight he did this season. He knew he was a liability in coverage. I think Ray also realized that the dropped weight was not enough which may have factored to his retirement.

This is why I do not like this draft selection. I would prefer to see Burfict move to the middle for this team. I think the coverage experience he gained at WLB was invaluable to his progression. While he may not be the best coverage LB in the world I do feel he showed progression thru the season and I did not see anything that would lead me to believe that it is a part of his game he cannot continue to improve.

I'm down on Te'o and not the other guys because having a made-up girlfriend (I don't believe he ever actually believed she was real) for, what, three years and then blowing up in the biggest game of his life after it all comes out just screams "NFL BUST" and someone who has problems in his mind that likely won't ever go away because he obviously has issues.

Jenkins smoked pot and had unprotected sex a lot....... he's the devil.

Burfict smoked pot and was out of shape.......... he's the devil.

Te'o's a head case and not that good to begin with.

First two guys were immature but are doing great in the NFL.

Te'o's a basket case and that effects people's play.

Man, who really pickin cares about Te'o s personal things with the babes and all that.All any of us should be thinking about,can this guy knock crap out of people and play like a maddog every sunday.Thats all i want to know.Who pickin cares if they smoke reefer.I don't. Half of america smokes the stuff.Its so much better than a dude going out on weekends and getting hammered at the local bar and just killing his organs and then doing it again the next weekend.Kinda like maybe what rey rey does..Everything should be consumed in moderation.I do not smoke or drink, but alot of the folks i know and hang with do both and they are wonderful people and very responsible.Reefer is everywhere and is not going away.Booze is everywhere and is not going away.I could care less what nfl players do in their offtime,unless it affects their play.if they ball-out on sundays, thats what i want.Its america last i checked.

I believe in 2nd chances, but his situation is so messy that I'd rather have one of the comparable LBs than bring this circus to Cincy. I would say it would take a national TV interview to clear things up but I don't know how you undo the Couric interview, especially through a couple 5 minute conversations with Marvin Lewis. This is just Walter being a clown.

I'm ok'eo with us PASSING on Te'o.

Yeah and I am pretty sure he still had Patterson on the board and has us take Teo.

I tried to think of a player in this draft who could help the Bengals more than T'eo and there aren't many. If we pass on T'eo, someone's not doing their homework. He had a rotten game. If we passed on every player who played a bad game our roster would be empty. He Played badly for three reasons.

1. He had all the fake GF stuff going on.

2. He was playing a team that has THREE OL that could be drafted in the fist round this year and another that many think is better who will be drafted in the first round next year.

3. The RB has been mocked to the Bengals in round one and he also might be the second best RB at Alabama.

Players slide for all sorts of reasons but I feel T'eo has the talent to be one of the top ten players in the draft and if he falls, we should sprint to the podium with the pick. I tried to think of a player in this draft who could help the Bengals more than T'eo and there aren't many.

If you do not see players that could help this team as much or more than Te'o then I would have to wonder about your homework. I do not see him in anyway a better option for this team than Burfict is.
