I've been a huge critic of the front seven D for a while but I would have taken DD because the O-line has been even worse. It's hard to make these comparisons when DD and DH are on different sides of the ball and even harder when DH is playing and DD is not. A better comparison would be to compare DH to Ziggy or Heyward. Will DH improve Pats defense? That's still to be determined but he got off to a decent start. Have Ziggy/Heyward improved our defense? It doesn't appear that they have. Maybe they haven't made it worse, but is it ok that we spend two first rounders for non-difference makers?

Al Woods and Steve McClendon was our best defensive lineman during the preseason. One or both went undrafted. I don't know why we draft dlineman as our number one pick. NT, I can understand but we should of drafted more linebackers.

Ya, but is that the standard for a first rounder around here?

And heyward is in his second year nobody had heard of smith or the beard until their third year in the system to call a guy a waste in his second year is just dumb.

And he didn't have an offseason last year.

The Steelers made the right choice in DeCastro big deal if Hightower ran a fumble for a td doesn't mean he will be a great player.

Also, I'm pretty sure that even if Hightower does become a great player, he'll probably never become a great guard.
