Hope the Saints don't draft this guy - OLB Jarvis Jones

lumm0x · 03-22-2013, 10:09 AM

While I will agree that his game film does not look insanely dominant, this guy did it for 3 years in the SEC and certainly wasn't flying under the radar doing it. Everyone knew he had to be blocked and/or doubled and he was still stacking up the stats. The day they put a QB in a 40 yard shotgun I'll be worried about his ability to get to the QB. Initial burst and technicques are far more important when it comes to a pass rusher than a 40 yard dash. His game film proves he can do it versus solid competition. I would have no issue if we saw this guy's name on our pick.

I unsure on him.
A great talent but that injury would leave me worried.

Lets say he averages double digit sacks for 4 years and had to retire after,would people be happy with that?
I'd be tempted to say yes.

His "injury" was way overblown and he has been cleared. He's no more at risk than anyone else, IMO. He's fine, and we couldn't possibly draft a better player, and a better fit for us.
