Courtney Upshaw

Peter King now has us drafting this kid. I think it makes complete sense - Marvin loves players that are hybrid d-end/linebackers..... Too small to play end and not fast enough to drop in coverage. Of course, the strategy has not worked up until now, but I don't suspect that will change Marv's thinking. If he's there, I'd be shocked if we didn't grab him.

Anyone have any positive thoughts about this kid that might get me off the ledge?

I'm not a fan of him. He's been called a good run stuffing DE, but not necessarily a great pass rusher.

I think he is going to the Jets. Did he have them taking him at 17 or 21?

He has the Jets taking Poe and us taking Upshaw at 17.

Of course, Peter King is a buffoon and there is little reason to ever believe anything he writes -- Scares me nonetheless.

He's not the only one. A lot of the "draft experts" on Twitter have mentioned Upshaw as a possibility.

Thanks.

Makes sense..... I can't imagine Peter King having an original thought on his own.
