I'm just wondering why no teams are picking these guys. These were 3rd round prospects. Any thoughts?

That's a good point, I'm not sure. I really liked Highsmith from LSU, he impressed me during the season last year.

How did Atyba rubin drop to the 6th round? I had heard him projected as 1st or 2nd

you're right. I was also wondering why no one picked up Erin Henderson, I thought he was ranked third behind Keith Rivers and Jerod Mayo? I hope if they don't get drafted, Eagles will pick em up as free agents, no harm in that. Any team that picks them up I think is getting a steal.

I don't know what's up with highsmith, but there were concerns over Erin Henderson's ACL.  Evidently there's something significant wrong with it.

Maybe there are similar things going on with highsmith?

I know why they're not being drafted. It's because they're not very good.

There have been a few guys that fell through. Illinois' Jay Lehmen and LSU's Highsmith are both great physical linebackers that in my opinion were at least 3rd round talent. I just don't know how guys that sniff out the ball as well as they do don't get drafted.

I'm an LSU fan and I know Hisghsmith can play.  He ran a very slow 40 at the combine and at the LSU senior day - that must have scared teams off.  As a middle linebacker I wouldn't call him slow though...I just don't get it either.

Amen on Highsmith man, alot of teams missed out on a young talent like that, but he will get a free agent deal and make an NFL Team

Alot of times its better to NOT get drafted late in the draft. Then as a free agent you can find the best spot for yourself, increasing your chances at sticking around. Highsmith will find somewhere to play, same with Tommy Blake.

As for Henderson, the problem with his ACL is...he's missing it....I'm pretty sure that's a problem! No team is willing to take that chance on a draft pick with a guy who's missing an ACL!
