I agree with Dre going to Carolina and Upshaw going to Buffalo but I'll be surprised if the Buccaneers take Trent at #5. They already have Blount and that defense is awful. I see them drafting Claiborne or if Claiborne is gone, going with Dre. Trent will be a Washington Redskin IMHO.

Who is a 2 down RB.

That is the reasoning, he literally offers nothing beyond running the ball...

Hightower wasn't mentioned and for that I am surprised.



Scott Wright of DraftCountdown.com had Hightower ranked as the #62 player on his draft board! Ozzie Newsome loves his former Alabama players and with Ray Lewis in the twilight of his career and no other MLBs of note to speak of, I think Baltimore's a very likely destination for Hightower in the bottom of the first round.

But why waste a pick on a RB with the 5th overall pick when you have a weak defense and are in the same division with Brees, Newton, and Ryan? You could always find a good third down back in the middle rounds or in free agency. But it's pretty unlikely that the Bucs will find a CB the caliber of Morris Claiborne later in the draft or in free agency.

As a Skins fan I would love to have Trent, but they have 2 good young RB's in Helu and Royster. They have too many other needs to take care of first.

The new Nfl decreases the value of rbs and mlbs. Olbs and wrs have over taken them. Wrs and now te are more valuable playmakers than rbs. Hightower could slide into the first because of his pass rush ability

He has never had arm talent. His command of the offense was his biggest strength. He couldnt adjust to subpar oline play
