akiliMVP Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 [quote name='Lewdog' timestamp='1329830689' post='1097800'] Hightower was picked #15 in the Bleacher report draft and he is an ILB whereas Upshaw is an OLB. Barnett may be gone and even if he isn't he can work with Hightower to take over the middle for the Bills who need a field general. [/quote] You do realize anyone can post a mock on Bleacher report right? Hightower is a consensus late late round 1 or 2nd round pick. Not to mention if you ask any Bills fan a pass rushing OLB is their #1 and #2 priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I could (or couldn't?) really give a F less about who you pick I was just pointing out that value and need are not there for Hightower as a top 10 pick to the Bills. Not trying to be a dick about it just pointing out the consensus opinion on him as a prospect as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upshaw is easily a talented enough player to thrive in a 4-3 or 3-4....there's a reason most "experts" have him going in the top 12 right now, you can never have enough pass-rushers and Upshaw is the best in this draft at getting after the QB.

[/quote] He's going top 12 as a 3-4 OLB. He doesn't have the lateral agility to be a 4-3 OLB or the size to be a 4-3 DE. We aren't going to draft a linebacker who can't cover. Well maybe we will. We did draft draft Maualuga after all. There are just much much much bigger needs to me than OLB with Rivers, Muckelroy and Moch in play for next season.
