[B]23 RAVENS FROM LIONS[/B]

[B]Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama[/B]
For years Baltimore has wanted a top-shelf playmaking linebacker to be trained by Ray Lewis. Here he is. I see the Ravens swapping first-round spots with Detroit (who'll receive a third-rounder too) to sneak in front of the Steelers, because Hightower is a Dick LeBeau special—heavy and fast. Another positive: He was a two-year captain for Nick Saban.
[B]24 STEELERS[/B]
[B]WILL PICK[/B]
[B]Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin[/B]
[B]SHOULD PICK[/B]
[B]Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin[/B]
Pittsburgh's got to stop treating its offensive-line problems with stopgaps and take a tough guy like Zeitler, whom I've heard compared to Logan Mankins. A 6'4", 315-pound masher, Zeitler will step in on opening day next to Maurkice Pouncey and give the Steelers the stability in front of Ben Roethlisberger that they've lacked for the last several years.

That would truly be very disappointing. If the Ravens get Hightower and the Steelers dont, it will come back to haunt them.
