Draft comparison Hightower vs Burfict

[cmerrifield]

SO OVERBLOWN. the man gets treated like a criminal for some unneccsary roughness penalties, hes an emotional player....this would be a good team for him to go to. if not im sure the ravens will scoop him

Not saying I agree in this case, but Tomlin wants character guys with high motors, the rest is teachable according to Tomlin.

hes not a bad character guy. that is one of the most overrated aspects of the draft process, hes completely insane on the field and may need some what of a leash but "bad character" is such a vague term now i really dont think he fits that bill

he also has a relentless motor

I would like to see either on the Steelers. I'd prefer to have Burfict just because of his mean streak. Even though Hightower may not be the fastest he certainly can play the run. And if he were to get drafted and the Steelers use him in that fashion that would free up Timmons to be more of a rush/cover/chase ILB. Now given the speech that Rooney gave after the season was over either of these players would have to be drafted in the 2nd round, which is not impossible but somehow I dont think either will be there by pick 57. It's very likely our first will be some sort of OG or OT. But when it comes to the Steelers drafting they never seem to do what most people think.

He couldn't get into USC because of his grades that's how he ended up at ASU .I would love to have him on the team but 2 things wwill happen on draft day #1 he will be gone by #24 or we will pick someone else instead of him because Tomlin thinks he knows bestand the Ravens will take him and he will terroize ben for ever

TAZ= We need some Nasty back on DEFENSE.

I agree. Besides Harrison, who else have you seen on our D that stays pissed off and goes head hunting on every play?

But, the way Goodell's new "kinder" "gentler" NFL is shaping up, can we really afford to have another killer on D?...........Honestly, at this point I'm ready for the Steelers to turn into the 70's Raiders. We already have 6 rings, lets just go out there and kill people and get our reputation back.

i dont really care about his grades though, harrison could even write his own name

Its so hard to tell where they will end right now, both of them. I see mocks with both out of the first round and I see mocks with TAZ going in top 15. Others again have Hightower ahead of taz.. damn you combine, where be!!!?!?

[Number99]

Either would be acceptable but I like Burfict more. He's more athletic and nastier. And I'd rather see him in Black and Gold then fairy purple.

i would just like them to take taze as a preventative measure to keep him away from the ravens...but he may be the BPA or he may not be, we'll see.

workouts are gonna be huger for both players
