Hell, if Mike Iupati was still on the board, WTH were some of the other guys thinking?! I'd be ecstatic if he's there @ #27 tomorrow!!

Draft Day, 1985: Cowboys scout Ron Marciniak had already climbed atop a nine-foot by four-foot table to convince skeptics to ignore Jerry Rice's relatively slow [above 4.6 seconds on grass] 40-yard dash time. The Cowboys were picking 17th, one slot behind the Patriots. Al Toon (Jets) and Eddie Brown (Bengals) had been drafted. But then, out of nowhere, from the 28th slot, Bill Walsh and the 49ers traded up to 16 and stole Rice.
"We were all ready to jump out of an 11th story window," former Cowboys VP of Player Personnel Gil Brandt recalled.
The Cowboys settled for Michigan defensive end Kevin Brooks.

Gil Brandt went on record last year that the Cowboys had a 4.40 time on Jerry Rice.bbgun;3358727 said:NY Post
