Tyrann Mathieu - Honey Badger - Dallas Cowboys Forum

a_minimalist · 04-30-2012

For next year, I was wondering what the draft experts think about him playing FS? He flies around and plays physical enough to be a FS. I hate how short he is but I think he knows he has to make up for that with his play.

There's also T.J. McDonald as Casmith has mentioned a couple of times on here who plays nasty which is much needed from our DB's.

IMO, I'd love to see them address Safety next year in the first and then dedicate the rest to DL/OL then maybe LB and take a page out of the Eagles book this year.

Any input?

They have shown that they do not want to draft a Safety that high.

I don't think that's true. I think they would have moved up and taken Barron if Claiborne wasn't there. If my memory serves me correctly--which it often doesn't, but hopefully it will this time--Stephen addressed how safety was one of the positions they were looking to address in the first round in one of the interviews CowboyJoe posted.

I'm not sure Tyrann Mathieu can project as a S with his size and weight. (5-9, 175)

Even as a corner he will be considered small for NFL standards.

I prefer Eric Reid. (LSU)
Position: Safety
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 208 lbs.

Reid is a baller.

Him or Ray-Ray Armstrong will do nicely.

I think he could be a Bob Sanders like safety. But like Sanders he would probably be out of the league in a few years of starting. Hes just way too small to have any type of long term success in the NFL. It will be interesting to see where he gets drafted for sure.

Honey Badger has the IQ of Honey Dressing, I can see him being another pacman type.

I mean if it's Honey Mustard Dressing I'd be okay with that. That's some good stuff.

I think he's a real play maker, I don't know about playing FS though....
