Def not Alshon Jeffery.
The Jest have a QBAndrew Luck.
Damn, there goes the Patriot's chances of snagging Sanu with their first round pick.
What......
Teams that would have signed Alshon will simply sign Sanu instead.
This year i haven't payed any attention to this years draft class as far as quality goes, but i get the impression that its not nearly as good as last years. Is that correct?Brockers and that's it. There's only three other players this year in the top part of the draft that do anything for me and they'll all be well within slight move striking range. Hightower and the two slot corners. I also happen to think that Hightower will be a much better player than Upshaw for what the Patriots do...he could be a star here.

I totally agree and believe he would have the smarts, instincts and physicality to play inside or out for us. This could be a great weapon where he and Mayo are lined up together and one is coming and one is dropping but who is who? Maybe they both come or drop on occasions....great scheme flexibility.

Yeah exactly, and he plays great on the line as well. I'm a big believer in having two heady and versatile linebackers on the outside. Everything about him screams 'Belichick type', his technique is pretty, he rushes like a vet, and his athleticism is underrated. He's rapidly approaching binky status for me.
I'd love to have Hightower but I really doubt he makes it past Pittsburgh. Larry Foote and James Farrior are old and he will be their replacement. With his versatility he can probably even replace Harrison as he starts to sail off into the horizon. If Jason Worilds develops for them that LB corp is going to be a nightmare. An LB corps of Worilds-Timmons-Hightower-Woodley is just ridiculous.

They're pretty desperate on the O/line. If Glenn, Adams or even Konz falls to them, hopefully that'll be enough to persuade them to let Hightower slip to us.
