Where is the 5th rounder drafted, developed, and blossomed into a star?
We have a line made up of high draft picks and theyre decent as a unit. Not great, not terrible, but decent.

We dont coach players UP, we coach good players to stay good.

Stacy Andrews was a track athlete at Mississippi who only played a handful of snaps in college.

Livings, Cook, and Robinson were all undrafted free agents.

Good job Paul.

You know me, big PA hater here.

Have to give him props for this season and i am glad about it.

Love eating crow when one of our coaches surprises me with coaching up players.

Trevor Robinson has been fantastic for an undrafted rookie. The future IMO, let Cook be the backup.

Good job Paul.

You know after watching the OL play of all 32 teams this year...

I take back almost every bad thing ive said about you Paul.

And i mean that....

Now was our OL consultant just for the Draft or has he been with us all year?

You should probably ask Dallas how thats working out for them. One teams $20 million dollar mistake does not validate Paul Alexander in the slightest.

Bout time Paul Alexander did something.

The market sets the price. These teams would not have paid that much if the rest of the league did not also value those guys highly.

Just a thought, could it be that PA is so loyal to his players that he refuses to throw them under the bus even when they deserve to be? I'm thinking about guys like Livings, whom Alexander defended and must have valued more than Evan Mathis. And Roland.

I know Livings got a big contract from Dallas, but Jerry Jones makes bad decisions on a regular basis.

Back to my original thought, PA must be either a great guy or a stubborn guy. He might sometimes be too slow to walk away from one of his projects out of either loyalty to the player or maybe his own pride.
