He's not the biggest guy in the world but we need a WLB and he would be a perfect fit. He's great in coverage and he has the speed to blitz off the edge. He would provide instant playmaking ability to our D.

I don't see Highsmith falling to round 5. I think he goes no later than mid 4th. I'm sure that some scouts and GMs are very happy that Ali ran so slow at the combine because now they might be able to get a guy they had targeted later than expected. Anyone who has seen Highsmith on video knows that he has superior game speed. With some players you just have to throw out the 40 time and just watch game tape. And while you're watching the game tape keep in mind that he was playing in the SEC, not in some rinky dink Pac 10 or slow as syrup Big 10. He has as much burst to the football as any LB in the draft. With proper coaching I think Highsmith will excel at every aspect of the LB posistion.

I was reading an article today from LSU's combine saying that the scouts weren't impressed about Highsmith's workout and the he could possibly not even get drafted!!
