Pretty sure Maea Teuhema will get an invite as well.

Pretty sure Maea Teuhema will get an invite as well.

I was just listing seniors who I thought may get one. Maea is 50/50. I have talked to some people who have him as a 7-PFA and some who have him as just a FA. I'll be interested to see if he ends up with one. His off field past from LSU could keep him out of the draft. Had he stayed in school and been clean all year I thought he could have risen to the 4-6 range for sure in 2019. His other issue was playing lazy and he certainly surprised me coming out because I know the SLU coaches begged him to stay. They knew he was not ready.

I agree he would have benefited by staying his senior year, but he's fundamentally a good kid, with ability, and will likely get a combine invite from everything I'm hearing. His "off field" issues are no different than a majority of NFL and college players in general. He took care of his business while he was here and I know first hand that LSU coaches loved him as a kid and a player and didn't want him to leave. How the LSU suspension affects him in the draft is anybody's guess, but there are clubs that have rated him higher than that on ability. We shall see.

Dallas Goedert is the NFL’s next mismatch weapon
While we are still in the process of grading his full body of work for the 2017 season, we believe that Dallas Goedert is one of the premier offensive mismatch weapons in the class, as he is too fast for linebackers to cover and too powerful for defensive backs to handle alone. Goedert’s size and unique ability make it possible for quarterbacks to just throw it up to him in the red zone with great success. He should be an immediate starter at tight end in the NFL and can be highly productive if paired with a creative offensive coordinator who will use him in a myriad of ways.P.S. Goedert can also run block for you tight end purists out there.

Could you tell me who you were hearing Maea would get a combine invite from? You seemed very confident to disagree and I'm wondering if you know coaches? Coaches have often told me a player is likely to go or get drafted and we scouts don't agree at all. Coaches are right more than they are wrong on that but I would say 30-40% of that chatter among coaches can be off by a good bit.

Not sure where you heard that about the coaches because I was told he was dismissed and failing tests was part of it and a big reason they didn't fight to keep him. His effort on the field was not very good either. I have watched three games and while he flashes some draftable talent at times, he needed to stay badly. He showed ZERO effort in some games and only showed effort half the time in others.

I don't know people on every team well enough to say for sure on all 32 but I know that a few teams took both brothers completely off their board and will not even attempt to sign them. I think both end up being priority free agents though.

The 20-yard dash would be the 20 from their 40 run. Technically the 20-yard drill is the short shuttle and not a dash. He did very well though!

Updated with yesterdays results.

DeLuca has not done well this postseason. His performance in the Senior Bowl was not good at all and his testing only hurt him more. I'm thinking he may not go until the 200-250 range and may fall out of the draft. I hope he gets drafted because he can play but I'm wondering if his injuries have taken a step away from his play.

I'm guessing he may not get drafted at this point. I think he'll make a team though as a backup/special teams at least. His knee issue this season really effected his speed IMO. I was also a bit surprised at his weight but that might be a good thing as a MLB in the NFL. I don't think he's ever been real fast but he can diagnose a play and drop into coverage as good as anyone. Hope he gets a real shot anyway.

I'm curious if you think that Griffen's 4.38 in the 40 was legit. His second attempt was a 4.58 which is a pretty big disparity.

I guess I didn't think the Senior Bowl performance was "not good at all." He didn't shine, but I thought he held his own. I only get what the NFL network shows though, and Mayock kind of has a crush on NDSU so he's hard to judge.

The combine numbers were disappointing. He's lost a step. I don't know if it's injuries or if he just peaked a couple of years ago. I still think where he goes largely depends on his medical and only NFL teams have that info.

Nick will get a shot for sure.

I had Griffin at 4.43 on my watch and most people I talked to had him in 4.4s. My belief is that the guy who started the electronic clock started the watch slightly early and his real speed is in the 4.45-4.50 range, which is still blazing fast. I'll know in the next couple days if that is true or not. Some think he did not really break the record but the NFL can't correct it because he is so high profile. We will see when they send out official results.

I know the coaches very well and they thought he would get one. They were right with our past players who attended the Combine.

As for being "dismissed" for failing tests, that is simply not true, considering he was on the President's List during the fall semester (3.5 or higher). He was never ineligible academically at LSU. They 100% tried to get him to stay. You have bad information. As for his effort level during games, I won't argue what is observable on tape, that's for you to judge for yourself. But I've been around the kid and know what our coaches think about him. Now Sione??? He's a different kid.

I have rewatched the game today and all I see is Nick picking the wrong gaps and being ran past by runners. He looked like a free agent in the game so if he goes undrafted don't be shocked but I would still take him in round 6 or 7 based on what he did in college and in hopes the doctors could have him at 100%.

Both kids are known smokers from their day at LSU. I know the coaches liked him as a player but he gives awful effort much of the time. They are hyping the talent and not considering the way he plays. I could show you plays on tape that are a complete joke because he does not even try. I remember the first game I watched he literally did not finish one block and only got his hands on people when they were coming right at him. If the play was run outside he literally gave zero effort to reach block and never went to the second level. He was frustrating to watch because he has good feet, he can move, and he is strong. He just doesn't display it very much because the effort is not there.

Both kids are known smokers from their day at LSU. I was told the kid was not asked to stay because he smokes and he failed tests but that a big reason he left was to be with his brother and get playing time. It would have helped had they been juniors together because I think he would have stayed.

Not sure what coaches you talked to but LSU never asked Maea to leave and didn't want him to leave. They tried to get him to stay and either redshirt or sit out the suspension and play the last half of the season. He didn't want to do that and came to play with his brother.

I don't need you to show me plays on tape because I watched him practice every day and watched him play in person every game. And I've met the kid. Your opinion is your opinion.

Maea was suspended for a violation of team rules, failing drug tests. I had him confused with Sione. They dismissed Sione for failing tests but did want Maea to stay. He would not have started most likely and he wanted to be put with his brother. I do know both are chronic smokers though.

If you saw all the games then you know what I'm talking about. He never really got beat much but that is due to lack of talent he played against. I'll be shocked if either Teuhema brother gets drafted but I expect them both to get signed quickly after the draft.
