I don't think Hightower will fall to us. He's just too good. Burfict might though only due to his behaviour and anger problems. I think we have the people in place to mold someone like that though. Plus I'm scared if we don't take him, Baltimore will, and I don't want to face another Ray Lewis for 15 more years. Burfict is a stud, if we draft a LB in the 1st round, it better be him if he's available, because Hightower probably won't be.

Burfict is EVERYTHING this team stays away from, and in all honesty he doesn't have the skill set to play in this D based on our needs. We need a playcalling ILB who stops the run, that fits Hightower to a T. Burfict is Timmons with mental instability and and issues. On what planet do the Steelers take that player EVER? It just doesn't happen. If you have problems on/off the field with issues, you get passed over. When it comes to Hightower making it to us, ever underclassman which declares makes it more likely to come to us at 24.

Whats are Burficit's anger issues? I have to say I saw highlights and I'm really impressed, he has great instincts, speed. and blows alot of plays up just like Troy.

Honestly Hightower is strong, but looks a little slow to me, I'm not sure he could turn and run down field with guys in the NFL?

Really too early to tell without seeing certain combine numbers that would shoot some up the draft board/drop others down, but as of now this is a list I wouldn't be too disappointed with..

1. Vontaze Burfict (ILB) Arizona State / Donta' Hightower (ILB) Alabama
2. Kevin Zeitler (OG) Wisconsin/ Baccari Jones (S) Georgia
3. Josh Chapman (NT) Alabama/ Mike Adams (OT) Ohio State
4. Andrew Datko (OT) Florida State/ Brandon Washington (G) Miami FL
5. DeVier Posey (WR) Ohio State/ Brock Osweiler (QB) Arizona State
6. Kellen Moore (QB) Boise State/ Jack Crawford (DE) Penn State
7. Matt McCants (OT) UAB/ Derek Moye (WR) Penn State

Possible FA's
Quinn Sharp (K/P) Oklahoma State
Demarlo Belcher (WR) Indiana
Daron Rose (OT) Northern Alabama

Probably just hoping haha combine numbers will affect my "mock draft", but this was just a total guess. Based on how my "mock drafts" usually go, they probably wont draft any of these guys lol
