You had me right up to the point you said you would take Pryor as a 2nd choice after Donald. Please explain why you think FS is more of a need than DT/DE/CB? And could you tell me how great is the dropoff from HHCD and Pryor to Ward or Buchannon?
To the OP, HHCD is rated highest 1st and foremost because of the level of competition he played against and his consistent performance compared to the weak competition Pryor played against. HHCD is also smoother in his back pedal and pass coverage than Pryor. So a team might prefer those more pure FS skills over Pryors stronger run defense. (see Jairus Byrd vs TJ Ward)
Pryor also ended up being much smaller at 5'11" than the 6'2 he was listed. Athletically they are pretty similar but Pryor is stronger. I don't think either is an elite athlete or worthy of the #14 pick.
Myself I prefer the leadership of the def coming from , LB, Safety second, and DE . I like and believe your leadership on defense comes from the middle of the field as they give a identity to the def , they see everything. I bielieve phil is building a foundation again , but me as a fan can't see clear what direction we are realy going as far as def system.so the prospects that I see that might fall to us that are a playmakers with intensity are Donald , Pryor . CB is huge too, but I hAvnt counted Tillman out, I want him still so he can show our young players how its done.
