I asked Mike Miller (@nfldraftscout) who he thought would be a better fit for Dallas: Melvin or Courtney.
His response:

@ @DCUforums I'd say Nick Perry for Dallas if you want explosive player. Upshaw is most solid of two seniors

God help me, I'm making advance excuses for Jerry...but if went ahead and drafted Jenkins, just picture him his soph and junior years (on the field) at Florida. He was the Revis of college football. Dominating.
Silver lining...
It was reported this morning by Joe Everett that the top safety in the 2012 NFL Draft, Mark Barron, has suffered a double sports hernia and will be out till July or August. That certainly isn’t good for his draft stock. Barron had previously been a mid to late first round pick but could see himself fall to the mid-second round area after this injury.
He’ll miss out on the Combine and Pro Days, both of which are really important to a players draft stock. He still has all his previous years of play to support him but teams will be looking for starters in the first round and Barron will miss most of training camp with his injury. He could still possibly start come game one, but he’ll still be behind most of the other players in terms of conditioning, among other things.
I watched him alot being an SEC guy, he was good but I do think he was somewhat overrated. The Florida pass rush while he was there was pretty good, as was the rest of the talent around him. By many accounts his year at North Alabama was pretty so-so.
He's a class A turd IMO. I wont be surprised if he's one of the two or three annual fuck ups who flunk the piss test at the combine.
Welcome to Dallas, Janoris.
Kinda doubt Garrett would sign off on it.
Jerry Jones has been GM of the Cowboys for 23 years. He doesn't need anyone to sign off on anything that happens in HIS war room.
Yeah yeah blah blah blah
If Garrett doesnt want the guy here, he wont be here. I wouldnt be surprised if Jenkins is pulled off the draft board completely with his history.

I just called into the local sports talk radio program and they had Wes Bunting on. I asked what he would do, knowing the Cowboys most glaring needs were secondary and interior Oline.
He said we were fortunate because the corner depth and interior Oline depth were both excellent in this draft. Strongest they've been in years.
Said he'd go DeCastro in the first. The idea of pairing a Steve Hutchinson/Alan Faneca like guard up next to Tyron Smith on the left side was just too good to pass up. DeCastro is a blue chip player, just doesn't play a deemed priority position.
Said we'd still have a shot at Chase Minnefield in the second. Maybe Dennard if he didn't run well (that suprised me).
Bunting may have a point about the depth of the corners, seeing as how the top prospects are all watered down.
Kinda doubt Garrett would sign off on it.
