An article on the website said something to the effect of them wanting to draft a Big ten o-lineman early because John Cooper was scouting for them.  I still didn't think there was any way they could pass on a prospect like DD at a position of obvious need. 

Reports were that DeCastro interviewed poorly at the combine, and that hurt his draft stock.  He also wasn't as good as Zeitler his first few years.  He missed most of his rookie season with an injury, then knocked out Pouncey and Gilbert for the season in consecutive years with his poor play.  He blew out Pouncey's knee with a botched attempt at an illegal crack back block and broke Gilbert's leg when he was overpowered and dropped onto his leg while engaged.
