Re: It's gonna be Jarvis Jones
Just like Danno I do believe Hicks is better suited to being a DE in a 3-4. I think that with his body type he could become a DE in the way of Haloti Ngata became this past season for the Ravens. Then you could rotate him to the interior for obvious passing downs while positioning him by default on the other side opposite to Jordan. I just think that Hicks doesn't have the body type to be an effective 0-gap or 1-gap NT because I don't think he can create enough leverage against most centers who tend to have lower centers of gravity - that's where someone like Bunkley will shine the brightest. But the Saints can definitely pick up a space eating NT to rotate with Bunkley with a lower round pick, and they do need to add depth to that position whether it be through the draft, veteran free agents or the UDFA pool. |

Re: It's gonna be Jarvis Jones
Tavon is the one leaving the boards early..... In a suprise it seems to be Cordelle Patterson that is falling in most of recent mocks I've seen.... Do you think Shawn would be able to contain himself if Patterson makes it to #15

I see teams valuing him above Cordarelle. I don't value him that high. I do see teams doing crazy things every year on draft day. I say the Jets pick him. QB sucks but we paid him tons of money? Give him an "easy" target. |

Re: It's gonna be Jarvis Jones
I think he's picked late 1st RMS, however with the sudden popularity of the 2-TE sets, I wouldn't be shocked if he was gone when we picked, but I would be a little bit surprised.

Escobar and Reed are pretty much the only other TEs I've seen listed as potential 2nd rounders, but unlikely ones in any case. |
