Keith Rivers Highlight Video...

He is without question an athlete, but doesn't dominate the game all the time on the college level and he should have.

Dan Conner is not an athlete , just football player that did dominate on the college level.

I think Conner is the better value. pick him late in 1st or early in 2nd and he will be a great football player.

pick Rivers early and you may be disappointed to setting a franchise back for 5 years. with the kind of money you will have to give him, and even if he isn't good , pay him and play him .

I hope to trade out of #10 with philly and get lito and their first, then we for sure have a player for the pick and maybe we draft one too.

Can you name one player, other than Sean Lee, on Penn State's defense? Dan Connor may have dominated for Penn State, but he did it out of necessity. Rivers didn't have to be everywhere all the time because his teammates were good too. Connor also plays in the Big 11, which still has a "3 yards and a cloud of dust" mentality, so his tackle numbers are going to reflect that. Rivers on the other hand, plays in the pass happy Pac-10, and his numbers reflect that. There are a ton of factors that go in to determining a players production. Don't just look at the numbers and compare them.

By the way, we were playing in the NFC Championship game less than 5 years after we took Sullivan, so I wouldn't say it set us back too far.:hihi:
