- A tweener-type

not big or strong enough to play defensive end

nor quick and athletic enough to play outside linebacker.

consistency with the fundamental skills??????
I am worried about how his game will translate to nfl.


He has red flags all over his draft profile with various injuries.

Dan Pompei of the National Football Post reported Sunday that leading orthopedist Craig Brigham concluded that Jones never had a significant spinal-cord contusion. Brigham's findings refute findings by USC doctors who diagnosed Jones with spinal stenosis in 2009.


so that settles that i guess. i am not going to believe that 100% myself.



But i can see the saints making this pick

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

So can I. The only ? I have is between his ears.

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

see i am almost ready to avoid Georgia in the first round all together myself. i know i will get ear full with that statement. lol

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

Wow all of our preferred picks are moving up. We need to trade up.

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

I don't like Jarvis BUT I like him better than Mingo

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

well at least it was not Barkevious Mingo or Manti Te'o . i guess that is a better way of looking at it also

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

he didn't have nothing good to say bout jones, what the heck he thinks the coach is ditka. payton picks an impact player 1st pick. i don't know about your pick mike.

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

I like Jones.I don't care about his times at the combine/pro day his play on the field speaks for itself.
If the team doctors pass him if be happy with the pick.

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

Geno's not going top 10.
Tampa's probably not going CB now.
Jarvis Jones has bust written all over him.

If the 1st 15 go like Mike predicts, its Austin or Werner

I could see Rhodes or Trufant also being the pick now that Tampa landed Revis

Re: Mike D's early picks
 

Agreed on Jones. The guy was dominant in the SEC every damn year and when everyone knew he was the guy to stop. I'd be happy with him.
