I like Ingram but I like Jarvis Jones, Georgia too... This guy lead the SEC in sacks!

I'm not worried about those projections, he will test out better and his shuttle and cone drill numbers will be off the charts for a guy his size

He will play around 265 which is on par with Ware or most OLB's in a 3-4

+1 Give me the guy that ALREADY PLAYS OLB in a 3-4 (and plays it very well to boot) versus the guy that has to transition from playing DE to OLB. Upshaw is a Lamar Woodley clone in every way. Just give me any of the top tier guys off of 'Bama's D (Upshaw, Kirpatrick, Hightower, Barron, Chapman).

If there is one thing I absolutely cannot stand in regards to evaluating a prospect, it is a 40 yard dash time. When a OLB/DE prospect has to run 40 yards, in a straight line, with some Under Armour tights on, then it may mean something.

LaMarr Woodley - 4.75
Tamba Hali - 4.87
Terrell Suggs - 4.84
James Harrison - 4.85

You get the idea.
