Manti Te'o - wrong for us at #8, now just flat out wrong

By Maximus Dareus  @ErrorOnRepeat on Jan 16 2013, 6:05p 40

If you haven't heard about this yet, then you without question will very soon.

Deadspin posted a pretty thorough (and damning, truth be told) account of Manti Te'o and his apparently made-up dead girlfriend. Here's the link to get you started:

Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspiration Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax

Now, several people have been very vocal about not drafting Te'o with the #8 pick for football-related issues, but a pretty solid amount of Rumblers would have been perfectly happy with that very scenario.

I am assuming that this viewpoint is not going to be widely held now, but stranger things have happened, I suppose.

If this information turns out to be correct, and Manti had a hand in the various deceptions described in the article above, what is the soonest you would draft him, if at all? Vote and comment below!

Poll

When is Manti Te'o draftable?

9% I would select him with our first round pick. He has far too much talent to drop any lower, even with this incident. (17 votes)
33% Manti has dropped in my mind, but only slightly. Round 2 or 3 at the latest. (59 votes)
11% That's a lot of potential baggage to go along with the talent. I'd take him in the fourth or fifth round. (21 votes)
1% Te'o has abused the public trust in a serious way. I wouldn't consider him until the sixth or seventh round, or as a rookie free agent. (3 votes)
19% I'm not interested in having Manti Te'o on the team. (35 votes)
5% NOTRE DAME SCHADENFREUDE IS THE MOST DELICIOUS SCHADENFREUDE. (10 votes)
18% This story does not affect my view of where Te'o should be drafted at all. (33 votes)
