    I don't understand. He made first team all american, didn't he? I hope he plays his way onto the team.

    Screw 40 time. NFL Combine and Pro Days are nothing but the opening scenes of the annual festival of draft day screwups. Stick a tape in the machine and watch the games and decide there....can a kid play? SI this week: "What killed me was when I'd see the so-called unnamed executive quoted as saying 'Leaf has upsided, Manning doesn't.' How'd you like to be 21 or 22, and you've already peaked. Does that make any sense?" --Peyton Manning.

    Zackly, case in point; AJ Smith had Hester pegged in November and went so far as to trade up to get him. He didn't even consider the combine. Performance gainst Florida proly sank in. SEC performance IS a combine in and of itself.

    Highsmith, glad to seem him playing as a pro. No doubt he deserves it!

    225lbs + 4.8/40 = Not a good LBer prospect

    I think he is a steal as a free agent signing, I also believe Will Arnold will have a great career, before his injuries he was at least 3rd round material.

    Highsmith was a second team all-american. He certainly is better than the scouts think.

    I think Ali could be great in a 4-3 defense as an ILB. 4.5 speed isn't a requirement in that scheme.

    He has great quickness and a natural instinct that gets him to the ball. That's what you want in a linebacker. You can't teach instinct.

    I think he will be a steal as well.
