I like TM. Don't know that he has the size for safety. But he could get 60-70% snaps as a nickel CB and I think he could play there. He plays like a wild animal. People don't realize how vicious he can be for his size. I really LOVE his attitude on the field. The way players are rising and falling ... I think he will go in round 2. One other factor that I hadn't thought about is a great observation made by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone (the guy has some good stuff on the draft, even though it's humorous) - he does criticize Matthieu but it's pretty hilarious and salient:

Agree, but Datone is more of a 3-4 end than a 4-3 end. Good pick by the pack. B.J. Raji, Clay Matthews, hopefully a healthy Nick Perry, and Datone Jones? Pretty sweet.
Dat. Jones was a great pick for the Packers, so was Jarvis Jones for the Steelers. Two ideal fits, imo.
a lot of good players still available. going to be very interesting what happens with branden albert as well.
Boy I wish we could have gotten the 3 for 2.54 instead of 2.42! (I know it was highway robbery - but still , that would have been great).
