Donta Hightower without the explosiveness or top end speed. He should stay in school 1 more year.

I definitely agree he should go back to school for his last year ... and if he does come out his workout numbers on straight line speed and change of direction are huge ...but with that said he is a tackling machine and, I think He is as athletic as Skov

I just think Jackson would fit besides Timmons nice, and Spence for 3rd downs/ Passing downs, depending on his rehab (still have good hopes for him)

I'm about to change draft strategies to all Offense , forget the Defense yes it's getting older ... but who cares if you can't put up 28+ a game you're not going to win in this new league

I am a big fan of Skov.

I mocked him to the Steelers (R3) since September (I watch quite a bit of Stanford football).

Do you think he goes R2? I think that he will last until R3.

1st "Michievious" Barkevious Mingo OLB or best fullback available
2nd Matt Elam FS / Eddie Lacy RB / Kevin Minter ILB
3rd Jordan Reed TE / D.J. Fluker OT / G
4th Kenny Ladler S / Andrew Jackson ILB
5th Knile Davis RB / Marcus Lattimore RB

Matt Elam looks really good. Very instinctive S who disguises what he is doing to the QB and reads plays well. I hope he becomes a Steeler but a pass rush is more important in the first round.

S is not as pressing a need as people make it seem. Troy at 80% is still better than most NFL S and Ryan Clark was the second best defender this year.

In order to get the first pick to be used on Johnny Manziel for the 2015 draft, I hereby volunteer my servies to play quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League for the entire 2014 season (not withstanding injury).

Maybe you should just kidnap Ben for 1 year then use the first pick on Jadeveon Clowney and release Ben after 2014 season.

the kid cant throw a deep ball, but can run and throw the short/intermediate routes. He is Colt McCoy with running ability. I dont see him as an NFL QB, but somebody will draft him around 15-25 in his draft year.

He's a freshman. If College only lasted 1 year you would have a point
