I think he'll have a chance to redeem some lost ground once he starts working out for the scouts. DB seems to be a really good young man and I wish nothing but the best for him. If I was him, I'd make a call to B. James and get some advice.
His injury history alone will likely push him out of the first round. He's been a very good LB for us, but did not have a great year this season. I think he could be a very good pro if he can stay healthy.
injury prone, not very good in the passing game, has lost a step in speed. i also wouldnt be surprised if he is not drafted.
Here's the thread where we discussed the news about Beckwith being selected as one of the 12 finalists for the Butkus Award: http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?t=79559&highlight=butkus
Highsmith didn't get drafted because he was very small for a LB, then he ran that horrible 5.0 40 at the combine. Slow gets you nowhere when you are also small. However, he was doing just fine until his injury this year with the Cardinals.
