Most NFL scouts are saying that Mathieu's size will keep him out of the top 10 of players chosen in the first round. Most of them have him around the 15-25 range of the first round.
I haven't seen a single projection that has him taken in the first round.

The only one that i will add that has a shot at 1st round, Chris Faulk LT. He is only a Soph and i think has an outside shot at making 1st team SEC this year. But i do think Jones is the leader for that spot.

I'm sure you'll blow it off, but if this were an undersized Alabama player at some point, you'd be relishing it.

Projection: Top 15 in 2013 draft. As good as Mathieu is and will be by the time he is draft eligible his size will still be a knock on him. For some players it makes sense to knock them because their lack of size will inhibit them as playmakers in the NFL. I think Mathieu is an exception to that rule. Regardless, I find it hard to imagine that he will get picked in the top five or ten overall selections even as his skills continue to develop. But if he fell out of the top 15 it would be an absolute travesty for someone as talented as he is.
