After the first 10-12 picks, this is the worst draft ever. It's a pure head scratcher.

Prof...Why is Hightower and Upshaw projected late in the 1st round? What were the negatives against them?

No real negatives - just better fits for the Pats, Steelers and Giants. The differences between #9 and #25 sometimes is microscopic.

That said - I'm starting to get nervous for them.

it's not always negatives.....team need is a biggie.

However, the kid out of BC, the first LB taken, had 532 tackles over 4 seasons....just seems to have a great nose for the ball. Hightower and Upshaw do, too.

Whatever knocks there are...you'll hear about it when they're picked.

I heard them mention Hightower's short arms. But have they watched them play?

Short arms matter. They really do.

A late first rounder is still a pretty special player.

Pats are going to draft Hightower.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

Who is Riley Reiff? Or whatever his name is...

 

[edwd58]

Hightower to New England according to Shefter.

 

[sanjosecrimson]

not happening for Hightower to Steelers.

 

[RTR91]

Steelers don't get Hightower. Woah.

 

[lafella]

Steelers pass on hightower...

Riley would be the first Big 10 player in this draft. And that conference is trying to swing BCS weight!

 

[wrathin]

no Donta to Pitt. but Decastro is a good pick if not a little high in my mind. Although a lot of experts seemed to think that Decastro would already be gone.

 

[tidefan39817]

Some have said Hightower to Green Bay...

 

[RTR91]

Love Hightower to the Pats!!!!

 

[wrathin]

Thats good though.

 

[bamanut_aj]

Don't feel too bad for a guy dropping down to the Patriots. For realz.

 

[CrimsonProf]

Thank goodness. I don't have to cheer for the Steelers.

Hightower and the Patriots? Match made in heaven.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

Glad to see Hightower go, even if it is to the Pats!
