Qulity over quanity projection?

[headless_norseman]

As we need CB's, do the Vikes take a chance on Tyrann Mathieu with a 3rd round pick, as we have two fourth rounders? He's obvious first round talent and seems to have gotten it, so maybe he's worth the gamble

I'll pass. Already have a mess with a head case who got it together. Don't need another one!

[PurpleMustReign]

I would love to draft him!!! Especially in the 3rd.

[headless_norseman]

I only posted because of the need and the chance to get that need by the 3rd round. And he knows he has already lost millions and wants to get it back and he knows that will take time. But I think the Vikes will have your same mindset, here.

[Mothman]

I wouldn't spend a third round pick on him. If the Vikings think drafting him is worth the risk. I'd rather they wait longer than that.

Tyrann Mathieu - DB - Player

LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu ran forty times of 4.43 and 4.50 at the Combine Tuesday.

After managing a pitiful four reps of 225 pounds on the bench press Monday, Mathieu needed a fast time to salvage his stock. The two solid forties should do the trick. It's the speed he'll need after measuring in at just 5-foot-8 3/4 and 186 pounds. The Honey Badger, profiling as an intriguing slot corner prospect, now has a good shot at being a day-two selection.

FOUR reps of 225? Kluwe could do more than that. Brings into question his work ethic. Decent 40 times, though. Somebody will take a chance on day two, but I highly doubt that team is us.

I would love to dreft him. He was a BEAST at LSU, which plays in an almost Pro-quality conference and almost always finishes near the top.

Deion Sanders on Tyrann Mathieu: "This kid is a straight-up dog. Overachiever. ... This kid is going to be a baller immediately in the NFL."

Comparisons to Winfield. Good review.

I was a bit confused by Sanders' quote. Mathieu's a "dog" and an "overachiever"? Those aren't good things IMO. To me, overachiever implies that he really isn't that talented, but he manages to get results despite that lack of talent.

His last statement is clearly positive, so I guess he's using the first two adjectives with a positive connotation.

[headless_norseman]

Yup, go for it. Just make sure they grab a wideout and a DT before him

I could go for that. Cept I wonder if they have options rated high enough that they can get with a 4th pick in a deep draft.

Underachiever is negative. Overachiever is positive. Adrian Peterson is an overachiever.

Weirdo street slang makes dog as an overachiever.
