An increased expectation for an undrafted player to be good versus a first round pick? What are you smoking. If Austin's production drops off people will just shrug and say "well it was a good run but he was overachieving" where as if Dez Bryant never starts producing he will be labeled a...
No it couldn't. Romo/Kitna is not Vick. We have bigger problems than just blocking.

Only an idiot would keep saying "reach" when no one is declaring a team should reach to avoid a QB prospect. You trade down because you cannot afford to lock up that much of the salary cap on a player that will not get on the field.
