dont'a hightower

[xwalker]

Hightower is "projected" to run a 4.85 forty. That would be ok for a 3-4 OLB but too slow for 3-4 ILB. A 3-4 ILB needs to be around 4.7 or better. I don't want another Bradie James type of player that is good/great against the run but a liability against the pass. The combine will be big for him.

He "might" be great as a 3-4 OLB, but do you want to use a 1st on a player that needs to change positions?

I wouldn't draft Burfict in the 1st with his attitude issues. But if we trade back and BPA is CB or OL then I'm fine with draft BPA late first and still getting Burfict in the 2nd. I think he is the only 2nd round LB that could play day one at SOLB.

Other 2nd round guys I would like would be Minnifield, Hayward, Zeitler, and Ben Jones. I'm sure that list will grow the closer I get to the draft.

if we took OLB in Rd 1 after trade back and had 2 2's, my picks would be

Poe (NT)
Best OG available like Osemele or the OG from Miami

depending on what we do in FA that wouldnt be a bad plan.
Zeitler is a pet cat of mine adn thing he is another Alan Faneca.

forget the draft plan
give me the FAs in your plan

as strange as it may sound, the most expendable there would be robinson
