Did Te'o make one positive play?

Te'o dropped to the 5th round after this game, Jones is still top 10, if not top 5.

Im talking run game, for most of the game he got pushed around like te'o I dont doubt him as a pass rusher. Te'o though theres no way he droped to the 5th lol thats like saying take him top 5, he maybe did drop out the top 10 though and jones draft position depends on how he checks out medically

Trade down and take Jesse Williams, the D-Lineman from Bama.

I like Skov as well and he would be a great pickup but he's staying at Stanford:

All I know is we will draft a great player with the #3 pick.

Bama's line is so good they actually made Te'o miss ALLLLL those tackles too! lmao Overrated. I've been saying it all year.

Say no to Te'o!

Well, he did have 10 tackles in the game and he's not overrated. He actually prevented a td pass to Marqise Lee in end-zone last game. He dominated USC on national tv.

He had one bad game all yr b/c of long layoff.

FWIW, the latest Walter Football mock has Manti Te'o dropping out of the top 15. I guess 1 game can make a players draft status (i.e. Russell) or kill it (Te'o).

Anywho, I would like to see the Raiders make a push for Rey Maualuga if the Bengals do not re-sign him. He would be less money that Manti and is proven. With that done, draft Star Lotulelei. Whether the Raiders can trade down a few spots and still get him is up for debate. Good if they can and get an extra pick. NT's of this pedigree do not come around that often. Plus he gives the Raiders the flexibility of being a 4-3 or 3-4 defense. As Chewy said, Jesse Williams is another option. IMO, the Raiders must go NT/DT in the 1st round.

For those talking about 'Bama CB Dee Millner, I was pretty impressed with his play. However, I do not see him as a 1st or 2nd round pick.

After that look at o-line in the 3rd round. A player like Kyle Long from Oregon would be a solid pick up to play RT. After that it is BPA, depending on needs after Free Agency.

Just my thoughts for now. The new OC and Free Agency may throw up a whole lot of different perspectives.

There you go, turn to stats. He played like garbage in the biggest game of his career. He made some plays in college. He's not a top first round talent. You watch and see where he's drafted.

Lets get the DL and OL fixed and give these guys a chance to develop. I think another MLB struggles here as the the DL stands. I just don't see one being successful here.

I see many on this board calling for him, I want moore if a switch to 3/4 or werner if staying 4/3. So number werner #3 overall probally

Isn't Demontre Moore a 4-3 end?

Yeah but he's kind of on the small side (6'4 250) and im over RB's runninig threw our line, to me he has the speed to play olb in a 3-4 but most importantly the hustle

He was a 43 end this year, the prior year he played more of a "joker" role, the same role that made Von Miller famous at Texas A&M. (flip sides, 2 pt and 3 pt stance, etc)

Our dline coach was at Texas A&M before joining the Raiders so he knows Moore well.

Basically his best position in the pros would probably be 34 OLB but he could rush as a 43 end in obvious passing downs as well.

Don't really see him as a 43 OLB.
