Not sure I'd take Te'o. Not saying he was "exposed" but damn he looked awful on run plays and mediocre on coverage in the championship game.

Guy looked slow and couldn't get off of blocks against Alabama. His bust potential is rising.
lets see how he does at the combine.. I'd still be happy with him at #19
The BCS championship game definitely dropped Teo's stock value. I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants can get him in the second or possibly the third round now by a stretch.
Honey Badger in the 3rd. As an LSU fan, I can assure you he will be the best player available come the third round. That kid has the potential to change a defense and a game.

1st round better be a freaking o-lineman.
His stock took a pretty big hit in the NC Game:
Te'o has been projected as a potential first-round pick. But Rob Rang, an NFL draft analyst for CBSSports.com, said Te'o's first-half performance, when he struggled to avoid being blocked and, more tellingly, missed several tackles on Lacy and Yeldon, should be troubling to pro scouts.
"In the biggest of big games you have to play well," Rang said at halftime. "The fact he's not has got to be an area of concern for any NFL talent evaluator. You don't get more NFL (offensive) talent than Alabama. You don't get a bigger stage. … For of player with his hype to not be able to make tackles, it will hurt his draft stock."
