But the majority wanted him if available. He was not supposed to be a project as someone else comparing him to Hunt though.
Wanted Hightower desperately that year.
I was really shocked when I heard that he needed to learn to backpedal. I know that Saban teaches a different technique, but I was still surprised that it took Kirkpatrick so long to get playing time. To be honest, both Kirkpatrick and Dennard bother me a little bit... if they were not needed, there were other first round picks that could have contributed immediately. I personally think a first round guy should be playing.
