The feeling on #Alabama DE/LB Courtney Upshaw, especially following pro-day, hasn't been great. Stiffness & limited fluidity hurting him.

If the best OLB/pass rusher was Upshaw at the Dallas pick, I would go OG or Barron.
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games!

Those times are pretty slow. Any chance he falls down to the second round?

Well, that sucks. DBOY3141 said Upshaw is our pick.
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

Hmmm, stiffness is definitely not a good thing. I knew he was stiff but not prohibitively so. I still like Upshaw and feel he's being over-analyzed, but I would only take him in a trade down.
