We took Reiff at 23 in the first round, New England took Dont'a Hightower at 25. Hightower has been a monster at Linebacker all season. Reiff has contributed for us, and I have seen him contribute, but he hasn't been a monster.

maybe our problem lies in scouting. I can't imagine Mayhew and Company do all the filtering, it has to start with scouting. Besides Charlie Sanders who plays the role of being a Dutch Uncle to the players, I don't know much about our scouting staff, but whomever they are they need to go and Ford needs to back a Brinks truck at the doorstep of the head of New England's scouting department.
