This was a case of Dallas locking in on a player before the draft and sticking with him right up until the pick. I wonder what it would have taken to trade up and get James when he fell so far? And btw, beating Philly's scrubs doesn't seem worth it now, does it?
In any case, this was not the best player available. It was drafting for need and for a player they fell in love with. Whenever Jerry does this he screws up the draft.
I know they have doctors to look at his neck and all, but when you have 2 LBs who are also dealing with health issues why take a risk with a 3rd? I watched LVE at the combine and h looked less athletic and stiffer than the other LBs. Obviously, I am not a professional scout but this pick left me disappointed.
